Defender Missiles, does anyone ever use these?
Auto targeting missile ??

A thought occured to me last night while i was stuck pulling staff duty,

Anti-Radiation Missile
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti_Radiation_Missile

Quote:
An anti-radiation missile (ARM) is a missile which is designed to detect and home on an enemy radio emission source.[1] Typically these are designed for use against an enemy radar, although jammers[2] and even radios used for communication can also be targeted in this manner.


Theory:

replace defender missiles with ARM missiles... (or make ARM missiles a new missile type)
Caldari being masters of Electronic Warfare
Caldari being masters of missile warfare
makes sense that the Caldari would possibly come up with something like this as a counter

this could work..

your ship is getting jammed... reload your launcher with Anti Radiation Missiles
these missile then auto target the jamming source and engage that target in a similar manner to the auto targeting missiles

Thoughts??

You do realize that that would give the Scorpion the ability to jam about 7 different fleets long enough for them to die of old age right?
