Hammerhead Missile - Any outlets?
Looking to obtain Hammerhead Missiles.
Have scouted the Terran bases without result.
Anybody know if / where they can be obtained?

Because the only M3 which can fire Firestorms (to my knowledge) is the Medusa Prototype. Hammerheads, on the otherhand, can be fired by about 90% of the M3's in the game, and even some of the M4's. So it's a much more versatile missile.BeidAmmikon wrote:Why scouting for Hammerheads when with cahoonas and ore, one could sustain the need for Firestorms quite easily?...
It also takes less cargo space....

I'd prefer to use something small and fast, and do a kamikaze bombing run on a big ship, and actually run away and live to tell the tale.BeidAmmikon wrote: Why bother with the Medusa Prototype when you can use a Tiger instead?
But that's just me. Big ships turn to slowly for my liking, and I can't catch up with those pesky small fighters to shoot them down....

Because the Hammerhead is a Thermonuclear Warhead and the Firestorm is some lame quantum-thingy. Big difference.BeidAmmikon wrote:Why scouting for Hammerheads when with cahoonas and ore, one could sustain the need for Firestorms quite easily?...
Also, Panther = Tiger + Fighters = Awesome!
Two things are certain: Death and Taxes. And I am not so sure about the former.

There are a few salvage only missiles, which are generally superior in some slight way to the generally available type.
Hammerheads: slightly more usable than firestorms
Wildfire: not all slow like silkworms
RGW: more power and long range over that other re targeting missle i cant recall the name of.
Disruptor: excellent for small fighters, just like the dragonfly.
there are a few others that dont come to mind, the firefly has an equally useless counterpart.

To add to the list:
Hurricane: although slower than the Disruptor, is an alternative if you want to save the latter for the coporation missions.
Rapier: unlike the mosquito, they actually can kill an M5 if you fire 3 or 4. And they are the fastest missile there.
Banshee: Although slower, they are similar in damage to the Thunderbolt and occupies just 1 cargo space.

Me think that hammerhead also has a bigger blastradius... worth a look at the TWeaponsOfMassDestruction.txt
But only 15Km range witch is inferior. But that's ok, so my Mamba is invulnerable to them and doesn't has to fly 70Km until it selfdestructsBanshee: Although slower, they are similar in damage to the Thunderbolt and occupies just 1 cargo space.

Haha, try making the Hammerhead a swarm missile just for laughs... that is until you have every second Xenon ship in the game launching them at you... now THAT is scary....

Have you ever tried firing a hammerhead and living to tell about it? it's kind of hard because of the kilometer radius of the explosion.............. back it up with wasp missles and you might actually live to tell about it.argon_emperor wrote:I'd prefer to use something small and fast, and do a kamikaze bombing run on a big ship, and actually run away and live to tell the tale.BeidAmmikon wrote: Why bother with the Medusa Prototype when you can use a Tiger instead?
