To: CCP
Request: Auto target radar seeking missiles, code named Wild Weasel
Use: Ewar defense


But seriously. Can we get auto targeting missiles which only target specific conditions.....eg....Missiles which only target ships using ECM modules, Missiles which only target ships using dampening modules, Missiles which only target ships using tracking dampening modules.

How about make it so defender missiles target enemy ships and destroy their modules, effectively disabling the ship and then we can rejoice that CCP brought salvation to the long neglected weapon system in overpowered madness. Not gonna lie though, tactical weapons specialized in damaging modules like in Nexus: The Jupiter Incident would be a neat concept.

Auto-targeting missiles need love, yes. :3 I'd be happy if that (and drone AI, since AIUI those use the same mechanism) got a look-at as part of the overall drones work that's been going on. (which has been nice so far, keep it coming :)

Something like anti-radiation missiles would be nice, yes.

I'd be happy just getting the faction auto-targeting missiles back, or at least a response from CCP as to why they won't be added back.

The problem I have with this is that ECM boats do gimp damage and their tank is their ECM.

So if these missiles were to be introduced, because all you are is sacrificing m3 in your cargohold to counter ECM, they would have to do less damage then what an ECM boat can do, mainly because you are not sacrificing anything important to counter ECM. Not to mention you will have a "standard" tank equipped while the ECM boats tank is well, making it so you can't shoot him all the time.

Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012.

For all those guys soloing in Falcons, amirite?

I got killed the other day by a gatecamp with a Falcon. Once he had me jammed, and it was near instant, I could have been killed in my cruiser by a noob ship because I was webbed inside a bubble.

The only chance I had would have been FoF missiles. They are still available in T1. I want them available in faction again (makes no sense there are no faction forms of the ammo) and maybe T2 too, so its like all other ammo.

If FoF is really such a problem, they should ALL be removed from the game.

how about anti interceptor's or targeting specific ships that way every player with one launcher could set it to stop bublers when they come on the battle field :)
