So your at 90k out and 2 volleys' are on the way to a ship that just poped.
Would be a nice to have a skill that would redirect the missiles to the next target you have.
Missile would be based on remaining flight time left.
Each skill level would redirect 2 missiles.

I thought this was going to be about carbon emissions

Mostly disappointed

Call it Missile Target Reprogramming

So close...

Next update, Missile Target Reprogramming Hacking Computer II, reprograms enemy missiles to explode in clouds of confetti.

Those Missles are Called F.O.F. Missles.

Not necessarily.

Quote:
"Tactical Tomahawk" takes advantage of a loitering feature in the missile's flight path and allows commanders to redirect the missile to an alternative target, if required. It can be reprogrammed in-flight to attack predesignated targets with GPS coordinates stored in its memory or to any other GPS coordinates. Also, the missile can send data about its status back to the commander. It entered service with the US Navy in late 2004.


So if you launched missiles with multiple targets acquired, and the primary blows up, with this theoretical skill the missiles could be reprogrammed mid-flight to attack the next target that was acquired pre-launch, and as OP said, until original flight time is expired.

So close...

then they should give us back our faction F.O.F's!

Exactly like a Tomahawk.
Missiles are the biggest ammo money sink in Eve when you think about it. At least drones you call back.
Would be interesting how much wasted ISK there is with missile that just went into deep space.

Also FOF are nice but you can not tell them to what target you want to attack. With this you could tell it what target after main one is gone.

Well ships put out way more carbon then missiles do so this skill makes total sense.

Spending less carbon to kill major carbon is win-win.

Well if you can reprogram them for another target, it is only fair that your own missiles could be hacked and sent back to you...

Sure, if you could believe that the mighty nation of Iran can do it, so can just about anyone else.

So in Eve we can warp solar system to solar system, but we don't have the tech to make a missile fly to the next target we have selected? Question

It would be almost as much as the "wasted" ISK from missed shots!

Missiles having a travel time is part of balance. They can't miss, remember.

Really? REALLY? Don't you think it would be a bit hard to identify and hack a presumably very advanced missile, with advanced and (probably) unique encryption, in the 3-30 seconds it takes to impact? Redirecting a missile which you can already access its targeting protocols seems far more feasible.

How have you got 2 whole volleys heading to a ship that had a sliver of hull left?

Is your overview malfunctioning?

A ship 100k out pops.
Yes many times I have had 2 volleys out in space.
