+1 definately supported!!!

although i do agree that gameplay > cool effects. this is almost necessary because missiles just dont make much sense. and yes your "link" to homeworld was a great example.

mostly for me, i like the idea of removing the silly (as people have said, "comical") animation of the missiles swerving into the target last second. it would make a whole lot more sense if it just exploded. because as is, all missiles swerve to the center of the targeted ship, and the explosion velocity that measures its accuracy wouldnt matter, because the missile just exploded "on" the target (he is not outrunning that).

Give us missile bay modules!!!

In the ancient past missiles were if you can believe it more like drones!! Different launchers weren't as much about size of launcher/hull and more about different rolls. There is evidence of this still lingering to day ( F.O.F., defender missiles, assault launchers and bombs witch are like old torps were kinda). At some point tho they began to parelel turrets more and more and now we have a weapon type that uses different stats to accomplish the same result. May be going back and thinking about missiles more like a parallel to drones and not turrets would be a better place to start.(and would feel so right with the gallente/caldari and Amarr/Minmatar contrast)

Well that's my 2 isk
