Automated Engagement System - Fits on projectile turrets. Sighting and automation system that allow FoF use of projectile turrets. Must be docked in order to fit to a turret. Limited funcitonality means it can't calibrate itself for tech 2 ammo or faction ammo, so it can only be used with t1 ammo. Can be enabled and disabled instantly, allowing for FoF fire or standard engagement. Usage penalty of optimal range and damage output.

Modulated Frequency Cyrstal - Fits on lasers. Model for every turret size. This crystal is modulated with a built in sighting and engagement system that takes control of a laser turret when fitted to one. Has the same durability of standard t1 crystals. Usage penalty of optimal range and damage output.

Making FoF for all allows for FoF unguided missiles.
Unguided FoF missiles (torps and rockets) have reduced fuel supply and reduced payload in order to fit a small computer system similar to what's fitted in guided missiles. This computer system allows for these missiles to automatically chase down and engage the nearest target. Reduced fuels supply means shorter range, reduceded payload means less damage output, and less explosion velocity, while at the same time having the benefit of a smaller explosion radius.

Changes to FoF

FoF of any model no longer engages structures. Structures must be engaged with standard lock and fire procedures. This is because they're programmed to recognize and engage the signature of ships only.

FoF missiles will no longer engage the drones of any player. Again, this is because they're designed to specifically recognize the signature of ships. However, they can still regonize the signature of rogue drones due to their size.

you do realize that FoF's work by following lock signals back to the source and targets the closest source, all of these situpations would make number crunching by the servers horrific.

Dust 514's CPM 1 Iron Wolf Saber Eve mail me about Dust 514 issues.

If it's that complicated, and that much of an issue, than why do we have FoF missiles to begin with?

This would actually be easier to figure with turrets because all the programming is in the turrets. It's missiles that are a bit more complicated cause all the movement tracking and what not is in the missile itself.

You do reallize that caldari would badly want projectile ammo fitting there missile bay...lol

I know for shure there s missionners out there that start a mission with a domi launch drones and then go afk.

Now it would be launch drones and fof then go afk...:)

Everyone pointing carebear for afk playing but in fact you should look missionner s side.

No thanks. FoF is a missile perk. One of those things you gain by having a disadvantage such as flight time.
