Where to produce Rapier Missiles
I feel like such a new player, even though i've been playing for a while... But i've only been focusing on the economy/trade part of the game.
But, does a factory exist where the player can make Rapier missiles?

The Hurricane may be what you're looking for, since most M4's and M3's can fire it. It goes 471 m/s. However, the Flail Barrage Missile (M7M's only) goes 486, and the Firefly goes 576, but it's dumbfire and not much use, really. Then of course, there's the Aurora, a bigger dumbfire that goes 589 m/s.

Basically I'm looking for a good missile that the player can make in HUGE quantities, is not slow, can be put on nearly every ship (Argon mostly) and is not the mosquito. lol
The hurricane sounds good so far. I'm looking at the list from eng.x3tc.ru, it can sort by what you need it to.
But the big thing is that the player can make them.
SO everyone agrees I should mass produce the Hurricane Missile?
I wish a poll existed that asked everyone what player made missile they all choose to put on their ships.

Such a poll would only show a wide range of choices. Different missiles for different jobs for different play styles. You certainly won't find any real agreements.rrfarmer wrote:...

Make your Hurricane missile complex. Then even if you decide you don't like them, you can always make lots of credits selling them to the NPC's.

Everybody generally has his or her preferences when it comes down to misslie/weapons. Personnelly I would not bother with the Hurricane as it's a single missile that can often get shot down. The Wasp is probably a better candidate because it's faster and is a swarm missile making it more difficult to destroy and in large numbers can even destroy M3s.

Main problem with Wasps is their short range which is compounded by their twirly flight path. Dragonfly is slower but hits a bit harder and will actually travel 18km as the crow flies and has a shorter reload rate so you can spam them pretty good.
I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure...
Dragonfly is way too slow and would get shot down more than the hurricane.
But it might be a good one to put on anti-capital ship fleets.
I'll probably stick with the wasp right now, it's super cheap and quick to produce. and i'm just trying to take out smaller m5s and trade ships with what i'm doing right now.

You should stay with hurricane. I produce thousands of wasps per minute and I still built hurricane fab, deliberately. This says all. I gradually replaced all my warships ordnance (M3, M3+, M6, M6+, several M7) with hurricanes.rrfarmer wrote: I'll probably stick with the wasp right now, it's super cheap and quick to produce. and i'm just trying to take out smaller m5s and trade ships with what i'm doing right now.
But don't listen to me, buy several of one type and other and go chasing some pirates and xenon, blitz weapon test, then you decide for yourself.
I have factories churning out Wasps and Hurricanes, I find that when dealing with large swarms of fighters, sending out large numbers of a mix of the two is pretty lethal. Usually concentrating the Hurricanes on the M4/5s and the Wasps on the M3s, mainly because any M3 with a turret is far more likely to shoot down the Hurricane as opposed to the Swarming Wasp.deca.death wrote:You should stay with hurricane.

Also, wasps are useful when capping M6s.

Of course, and that's why we have Typhoon. Hurricane and wasp are not missiles for M3 killing. They even have problems with M4, and I'm not talking about solanos. How many wasps you need to kill nova? 20?heratik wrote:Usually concentrating the Hurricanes on the M4/5s and the Wasps on the M3s, mainly because any M3 with a turret is far more likely to shoot down the Hurricane as opposed to the Swarming Wasp.
God knows, I tend to spam the place to hell and then clean up whats left, which as you say is usually a bunch of M3deca.death wrote:Of course, and that's why we have Typhoon.
