Missile to use on a wing of m3's

Post by BankruptAssasin » Fri, 9. Nov 12, 19:35

I have never really used missiles, i don't know which ones are good for the player and that for the AI,

I have wasps on my wing of m5's along with some dragonflys, I was thinking maybe using silkworms on the M3 wing, they are going to be used to hep me board ships and help take out fighters etc

Thanks

Thunderbolts work pretty well in my experience, but I tended to use M3+. The real trouble with using missiles on fighters is, well, you know what happens when the missile is destroyed on launch? BOOM.

Point being, you don't want to be using missiles that can one-shot the ship that launched it. This is more a concern with guided missiles than with unguided, since point-defense doesn't target unguided. At the same time, unguided are inaccurate against non-capital targets.
