best missiles

Nothing is better than sending a swarm of screamers up the tailpipe. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

nah, raptors for me. Do the damage, fast lock and extremley cool <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> nothing beats a jackhammer up the tailpipe tho ehehehe <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Before ANYBODY asks.... I had my username BEFORE the game even existed. Thank you.

Well, screamers are good for both fighter and Kurgen hunting. Jackhammers - well, the locking time is too long, so I use them only on stationary targets and only when the mission requires them. Raptors - great agains fighters (the Hawks don´t seem to be doing to well here, but they are effective against torps due to fast locking). I use Solomons to create a type of a shield in cases of massive torp attacks - they don´t take all of them, but certainly make the torp hunting easier. As for other missile (e.g. Bandits, Imps, etc.), I hardly ever use them. Life is sexually transmitted

Jackhammers are usefull against Kurgans - 1 missile : 1 kill. Otherwise I rarely use anything but screamers. Ban REVERSE THRUST! Fly something other than a phoenix for a change!

yeah, but you have to wait for them to lock, and sometimes you just can´t afford it. Remember the mission where you have to destroy the warp gate and the research facility, and there´s a Kurgen chasing the Gamma? You have to take it out fast in order to prevent mission failure, and you can do it much faster with screamers than with a Jackhammer. Life is sexually transmitted

True - but in that mission the jackhammer locks on in roughly the time it takes you to get to accurate screamer range and it´s not going to miss. Not that screamers are wrong, I just like the one shot and then break away from the target that a jackhammer can give you. Ban REVERSE THRUST! Fly something other than a phoenix for a change!

But Jackhammers are essential, especially for targeting power cores and what-not <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>.

JackHammers - When required, VS Pukov shield generator, and on Kurgens. Fuel Pods - I afterburn a lot. Solomon - Fire away at the big cheese pilots. In big cheese, I mean like leaders. Screamers - Alternative to Kurgen-Killing. Also for big subtargets. Bandits - Holy! They take out Armour and Shield at the same time. Hit the back of ship, and fire a stary Proton Cannon shot...boom! Havok - ...The ships spin around, so if you´re shooting at them, the damage will be distributed all over the ship. Even harder with Blind Fire on. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> That´s all I got to type....phew.

Jambo, I have to count this a gravedigging an old thread. We try to avoid that. Generally, if you want to post on a topic this old, just start a new thread. So, I´m going to lock this.
