Default Re: Forget Missiles(other than early game)

well i like being able to counter missles
they are very powerful if you dont have enough pt. defense. and the hardcore missle lovers can turn a game very difficult for those who are not in like manner..so i love being able to counter that..

temperal weapons are not super special in dammage.but excellent agains shields..no matter what armour you use..once the shields are disabled..armour goes quick..its a one turn bonus..i make ships purposely to fire main large damage weapon after sheilds are down..bump off that heavy organic armour


well rounding ships is good..but i dont try to make them indestructable..they are going to be damaged..hehe

one thing id like to see is making Torpedos something useful..add some bonus..(speed increase as they move..or something)
make a reason for even investing in them..

super range or massive damage..something interesting..right now..they have about as much use as a tit on a boar hog

I've made a really successful missile ship that carries 8 missiles, thats more than enough to get through any PDC's (Unless the guy is nuts about PDCs)
Plus PDC's usually go after missiles before fighters, so they can be used to decoy shots away from fighters.
