Hi!

Due to the not so recent anymore changes, F.o.F Missiles are no longer shooting structures (however in some complexes they do). this is cool, but sometimes you really want to be able to shoot structure and all you have is drones and F.o.F s. wouldn't it be nice to have F.0.F target choosing work as with aggressive drones, who will attack anything that you already aggressed to.

like:
Im highlighting structure with target painter, and it becomes shotable for F.o.Fs as it becomes for aggressive drones to attack.

sigh... i would love if people would stop asking CCP to fix their own flaws

no, the F.o.F. missles have a sweet advantage as in you dont have to target, the downside is you cant choose and it only aggresses enemies who agress YOU, buildings dont do this often IF they do the missles will attack if not you are out of luck . its called balance, changing this would be silly.

if all you have is F.o.F. missles all i can tell ya, is you doing it wrong

Well yeah, but then again it would be cool if in the future they would invent something called a computer, and place it in ships so we could program that computer to target that we want.

But that computer would be an Auto Targeting computer and not a Targeting Computer wouldn't it Blink

F.o.F's went out with the arc and are now called Auto-Targeting Missiles. But no, they shouldn't target structures that haven't given aggression and you should feel bad for even suggesting this OP.

Carry the right tool for the right job and get it done properly.

Better idea: Change FoF missiles to anti-jamming missiles. They would auto-target the strongest ECM emitter targeting them. Also, want rocket, HAM, and torp versions.

edit: I just remembered, you can put FoF missiles into rapid launchers, c/d?

OP, if ur painting the structure, why use FoF'?
