Torpedos and HAMs are unguided missiles.

Yet just today, I clearly saw several Torpedos tracking, chasing down and exploding against fast moving orbiting frigates.

This needs to be fixed. If they are supposed to be unguided - they should NOT home-in on an evading target as it makes course corrections in midflight.

So, after you finally balance Heavy Missiles, you can get around to fixing HAMs and Torpedos in this detail as well.

A: HM needed a nerf. Deal with it and HTFU.

B: Silly descriptions (they are clearly not unguided, nor meant to be) do not equal bugs, well not major gameplay bugs...

C: IB4L.

EDIT: Is this whine thread so stealthy that it fooled that ISD guy, or am I just really cynical today?

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Sometimes when I post, I look at my sig and wish that I'd follow my own god damned advice.

I'm fairly certain unguided means something entirely different in Icelandic than it does in English.

Not sure what exactly it means, but it very clearly does not mean unguided. I'd wager a guess that it means something like "bigger" or "short-range" or "high-explosive & low-fuel".
