Vanilla Homing Missiles

Description
This small mod adds homing capabilities to vanilla 200mm missiles and makes them follow the locked target.

The specific block that is targeted on the locked grid is a random systems block (no armor) for now, with an increased priority for thrusters. Specific subsystem selection will come at a later date.

While this is still an early version, it should be stable enough for testing. It also support multiplayer. If you encounter any issues let me know in the comments.

Does the homing work on all missiles or do you need a specific weapon block for homing effect?

Can you make this so that AI combat blocks can have their missiles also have homing when they're locked onto a target? For some reason it doesn't work with AI blocks.

We had this causing dedicated-server crashes whenever a player launched missiles. No weaponcore, but definitely with other mods.

Give it a solid try in creative before you rely on it; it maybe out of date in some subtle ways. (=

I absolutely adore this mod, but it really does need different ammo types - one homing and one dumb fire. Sometimes, I don't want my missile to lock, like when specifically targeting a particular component, but I still need a lock because gun tracking. There's several other niche circumstances like drones and turrets, but I think you get the point. Plz, Lord Cython. I beg thee. Throw us a bone.

I use this mod along with Unguided rockets for VHM, i noticed rocket turrets use homing missiles, making going after NPC maydays really interesting. is there a way to swap homing missiles and dumb fire rockets for vanilla ammo in npc ships?

This mod is indeed working. To those looking to increase missle range or speed look at configurable paramaters mod. Its also a good way to balance all your NON-WEAPONCORE weapon mods.

yeah but it's not compatiple with the CTC block too

@TORGMASTER and @Everyone experiencing issues.

TL;DR
The mod works fine. I retested it again, still works as expected.
IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING ISSUES, MAKE SURE YOUR WORLD DOES NOT HAVE WEAPONCORE LOADED. THEY ARE INCOMPATIBLE. HAVING WC LOADED IN YOUR WORLD PRODUCES THE ERRORS PPL ARE SAYING BELOW.

Be careful what mods you add! If a weapon mod has WC listed as a dependency, it will load WC *automagically*. Check that your world is not running WC if you want to use this mod.
