Hammerhead ?????

Post by euclid » Sun, 13. Nov 05, 23:20

Maybe I'm just overtired but I could not find any description of that missile type in the manual.

Could someone please enlight me?

What does the Hammerhead missile do ?

Cheers Euclid

it's meant to be one of thoses "unknown objects" you get from a firefight from time to time..

just a basic seeker with a bit of pow to it.

perhaps an unfinished part of the game? o.O

ran out of this so they cut the loose ends like the lack of the production factory for it and etc perhaps?

The Great Stonk: Nice idea, I will try that.

Domage: Yes, in the cargo hold (and in the trading menue) it shows as 'unknown object' but on the missile slot (lower left corner during flight) it reveals its name.

in x2 khaak weapons used to come up as unknown objects until you purchased some khaak systems info from the BBS when it would display the correct names.

personally I would hope these unknowns are based on a similar scenario and maybe are advanced military weapons you can buy from hidden stations or something

... or it could just be a bug

Well that solved something for me. If u scan a weapons dealer or a high tech trader, often u will see unknown objects in their cargo bay.
twice they have been dropped and twice i have nearly had a fit because they are M class cargo and i can only carry S :x

It's a feature, not a bug. It was egosoft's intention to have weapons that you had to explore and fight to get. There's no way to produce them, you just have to find them.
And after hundreds of years of evolution, the common housefly still doesn't know that the big, solid, clear thing is a window . . .
