Now I've read in capping guides about the Pirates sometimes carrying Hornet missiles... but I have about 6/7 save games each 3 days + playing and I still have not seen a single pirate carrying hornets or firing them.. its allways mosqs.
I doing something wrong or is it totally random/glitch?

So is there something screwed up with my game or something? Cause in months of playing I havent seen a single hornet aboard a TS or even been fired at with one

had the same experience when bugging the pirates in my Pericles this morning to increase my Split reputation... everything was going well, when suddenly some Paranid fellow in an Orinoco zorched me and all my shields and guns failed... then along comes a Mandalay to mop me up.RagX wrote:AHAHAHA I remember the first time I bit the dust in my Nova against an IOD'ed Orinoco.

Would have been funnier if I had had salvage insurance But yes, I've had Pirate Ships use Hornets against me.

yea hornets are the fun of any 5 vs 1 party with pirats i loved it in my disco in the begging i would get into those huge dogfights and it would take me a good half hour or more to kill all 5 because of all the "warning inco...warning...war...warr...warning incomming missle." if you know what i mean. LOL go full throttle and let them follow the leader while i made a large loop around to get back in fighting position. and god knows that i have had atleast 3 hornets and 2 or more silkworms and or wasps on me at same time. gag any one of those kill a disco.

Silly question - do you have a freight scanner? If a Pi-TS is carrying Hornets, you'll have to target it, press 'Ship Details' and scroll right to the bottom of the stats. Freight (including, illogically, missiles) is right down the bottom of the list.

Seen Pirates Ships carrying Hornets all the time. True they don't seem to like using them. My guess they are transporting ripped off missiles to sell elsewhere and don't want to lose the EXPENSIVE merchandise onless they have too. Besides Hornets are useless onless they are dropped in your lap with a bombing run.
