Did they make missiles/rockets actually usable?

[Vahnkiljoy]

It's been a good while since I've played but when I was toying around with the weapons available I really did enjoy using missiles despite their joke of ammo capacity and overall damage, did they buff them viable weapons?

[Ottomic]

They have always been good, but point defense is still very useful against them.

[Morwo]

if you ever revisit a size comparsion of a ship and rockets size and taking into account that ship hulls are far off hardened then humnkind knows now irl, you may come to the conclusion that rockets can't have a that devasting damage you might hoping they have to be.

I have missiles fitted to a few of my ships. They have a very specific use though, taking out external modules, or damaging hull, but there are better weapons for hull damage.

My gunship is currently sporting 4 missile racks, and is much fun. Anything with too much armour i can just disable weapons and thrusters quickly with the missiles and then take out their hull at my leisure.

MIssles are fun. Got to a Engineer to upgrade the ammo cap. Oh and at the moment i am almost able to get the packhound so soon even the point defenses will not stop me from barraging ships with missles

Trying to use missiles as a main or primary weapon is silly-they do absurd ammounts of damage, but you CANNOT main with them, even when G5 high capped and fully engineered. My Gunship runs 2 Missile racks, a Seeker (G5 High Cap with drag) and a Packhound (G5 High Cap with drag)-Ill put it this way-when I can one shot corvette drives with 1 volley (1 seeker shot and 1 packhound shot) and then just laugh and play with my food, like a cat does with a rodent-it is quite silly.

Also, any seeker variant (seekers, packhounds, and torpedoes) lock on and aquire up to 5 kilometers away, (if you have the sensors of course,) so, if a ship is running, couple missiles to their sorry aft, will stop them in their tracks.

Even with the default magazine on a seeker rack 6/12, thats a lot of ammo-especially in a medium mount. When 2 seekers by default can 1 shot a drive-it is really good-ammo isnt bad, but completely relying ON ammo in CZs or Res MAY be depending on your ship-i personally do not build PURE ammo builds. But I will say this, soloing CZs for 3 to 4 hours in a gunship without running empty on ammunition is fun.

I love missiles - just cant find what ship is most efficient with them in terms of balancing ample missiles with anti-shield weapons. Corvette?

all missiles gunship :)

[Dread Lord]

very usefull now with engineers you can pimp them in many ways and also put many different experimental effects (special effects) on them...

Especially useful in PvP

[Gutamaya]

All magazine engeneered Pack hound Cutter is super fun. Destroyes small and medium ships fast and leaves larger ships intact but disabled for some good pirating.

Every now and then, I like to just go and launch as many missiles as possible off my cutter (7 pack hounds).

I tend to like the High Capacity Magazines (168 missiles in one quick clip or 28 missiles in one trigger pull flying around in space at once is awesome. plus you will have 16800 missiles to reload with.

Launch beam laser fighter to strip shields. Not practical, but fun.

[NikkiLiz]

I gotta agree with all the people singing missiles praises. I haven't gotten around to engineering my seeker missile racks yet, but I have 4 multicannons and 4 missile racks on my Anaconda and I find it very effective. You just have to make sure their shields are gone first, and four missiles will take out smaller ships in a single salvo. The lack of ammo is a problem, but you can get engineer upgrades for that.

[Vahnkiljoy]

Well I DON'T have horizons so telling me that I need the expansion to make them useful doesn't really help.

[Dread Lord]

aehm get horizons! soooo worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that is cruel. i like it.

[Agony_Aunt]

Missiles are pants against shields though, so going all missiles isn't a good choice. You need at least one weapon capable of taking down shields.
