Are cyclone missiles broken?

[garv222]

As topic says.....I read the description and it sounds like just the weapon my hyperion needed...only it acts like a single missile.

[imperium3]

Yeah, they're broken. As it stands they're the crappiest missile in existence because they're so slow and weak.

You might want to investigate my sig if you'd like this fixed though

[garv222]

Thanks for the reply. I'll consider the mod after I've tried out every signle missile to get a feel for them first.

If you can get them, get wraith missiles, they blow everything away. If you are looking for missiles to take out m5-m4 use hurricanes they are fast as heck and have a small aoe. M3s you can gun down with PBEs or ISRs. For turrets I recommend EBCs. For capitals I recommend Firestorm torpedoes

Nah they work fine for everything.

M4s, M5s, TSs.... whatever, just get a goodly distance in front of them, launch a few, grab a sandwich and come back to scoop up the leavings.


There is no problem that cannot be solved with the proper application of Firestorm Torpedoes

When a Firestorm sparks off there are no leavings..

If you can find them, and are not against useing terran/aldrin ships, Specter missiles are a pretty nice general use missile. They hit for 260k damage and are good out to 24km. Not sure if they auto-target like the othr terran missiles. Still they're nice for punching a Q in the nose a few times before diveing in with guns to kill it, or nukeing a really big Kha'ak cluster.

Wish I could buy a factory to produce them...

Edit: Cyclone missile stats seems like some sort of typo in the game data files. Maybe several typos as the stats make no sence whatsoever.
