Typhoons vs Khaak Destroyers?

[Mistyevening]

I just added 5x Typhoon factories on my complex to produces huge pile of these nice missiles, so i was wondering.. due to the fact that these Khaak guys use the Kyons vs missiles.. would these Swarm type missiles work when spammed like no other? I'll be using these with my M7 with around 200 in stock at the moment.

in theory yes you should wipe the floor with them though in practise i don't know

[Mistyevening]

Well no need to answer.. i tried them out, took out 2x Destroyers in 2 minutes, took 150 Typhoons o_O but no matter.. the job is done!:)

The Typhoon is my favorite missile by far. It's great for killing all sorts of things.

[Mistyevening]

yeah they are extremely fun to spam.. I think i spammed them abit too much though.. the radar was totally red with missiles even after the destroyers were taken down.. so no need to spam that much.

EDIT: I think i spammed the word spam abit too many times allready

42 Typhoon's is enough to take down 10GJ shielding so add some for margin and and hull.....so 50 makes a sure kill. (atleast all destroyers I have shot with 50 typhoons have died)

ofcourse if your firing them while 100 scouts are zapping you you might want to add few dosen more.


btw as you may or may not have noticed all capital ships stop firing at the missiles once first salvos hit. GPPC I can understand because it's so slow it can't track em but Kyons.....I quess it could be because once first missiles hit there's a steady stream of them coming at you and turrets try to shoot at the closest one which is already hugging the hull and can't be hit anymore and the cycle continues.

I'm going to slap a typhoon complex together in the next session. They're just too handy to NOT have in your cargo bay.

[Mistyevening]

The ONLY bad thing about them (Typhoon factories) is they produce 1/14:30 minutes.. so you'll need to add TONS of them.. i got 5 right now and it seems i need to atleast double that.. thats 100 millions in total plus 2x Sun oil L/2x Flower L o_O

[Mistyevening]

PLUS the SP complex to be added on

[Tenlar Scarflame]

Typhoons are nasty little missiles against basically whatever. I love 'em. Didn't know they took so long to produce though. Oh well...

[homeless]

Wow!

Nice to know. I haven't used them much because of the price tag. Yes, I'm a tightwad.

[XanII]

Great idea. i believe this will be my next building project. Typhoons is by far the best missile right now.

[Sam L.R. Griffiths]

I don't typically buy missiles I pick them off the corpses of my enemies

Is there a way to target our own missiles when launched?

Only by accident.

I have but one Typhoon Forge. Luckily, I have let it run a long time before starting to use the product, so I have some.

Now if you happen to like trying out scripts, then I suggest checking the Xai-Corp Group Management System, and particularly its Group Command Hotkey extension. You can make your whole fleet lauch missiles at your target simultaneously, with just one keypress. Naturally, with Typhoons, that means bringing into battle several M6 ships or bigger.

Hotdamn, think I'll go get that script.

Got fed up with pressing the L key to launch Typhoon 30 times per cap. ship kill.
I'm finding I take my Raptor out regularly with 400+ Typhoons from my 25-way typhoon complex, but my L key is getting worn out.

Its really easy to target your own missle, just hit the target object button a few times just after firing.

Then hit backspace, and F3, and enjoy the ride...

It is a bit dizzying with Typhoons though, and although I do have a Typhoon Fab, I only ever use Thunderbolts in combat.

Nice! thks

That's quite fun, targeting your own missiles:
