Have you tried it?

I mean - does it work?

Thanks!

Yep!

You should see the armoured Version of capital missiles, dam res 150kt, ouch!

That's was a good idea - they sound very effective...

I have come up with an interesting missile idea as well. I call it a "Concussion Missile" - it splits into several parts and causes a large explosion over a wide area - effective against fighters, drones, and seekers!

Reduced chance to hit target?!?
Missiles ALWAYS hit, regardless of the % shown.

Instead reduce speed or range.

Do these mounts actually work?? A patch or so ago I tried this with a 'miniMissile' mount, 1/2 cost, 1/2 damage and +2 range with 1/2 size for fun and everything worked except when I really looked at the damage. Try looking at a ships shield strength after one hit, it was always the seekers original damage, not the lesser (or greater for that matter) damage. It seemed the seeker damage takes priority over the mount damage. Have not checked this patch, has anyone else looked closely??
Just checking.....

Yes, this has been my experience as well. Both the seeker damage and damage resistance have been unaffected by any mounts as far as I could see. I'll have to check again. I've heard (but not yet seen for myself) that the range is not extended either. I guess that the way mount work is only valid for direct-fire weapons and you're merely making smaller seeker components with mounts. I hope this gets fixed, though.
