I have to somewhat disagree, having a ROV controlled missile is useful in some cases especially if you are a decent distance away and don't feel like getting shot full of holes by plasma jet turrets. Using a ROV controlled missile allows you to do a surgical strike against certain dangerous elements that would otherwise make it a hindrance to try to take out at close range. With Novadrones I used this tactic to take out my fair share of such componates so I could cap ships. when you are 16 kms away from a target you can't just target a surface element as easily by pointing the mouse and hoping to click on it to target it for a fire and forget missile.

If you can target the ship, you can target all components. Use C and V to cycle through them. C to start from the bottom and get engines and jump drive, V to start from the top with weapons. Click the ship to reset the list. I never click on them. You can't click and fire fast enough to not get hit so I don't try. I use those keys to target what I want before I can even shoot it so I pop out lunch and hide again, or launch around a corner.
1.01 will be out soon that fixes the missile flights. Finally figured out what was messing them up. Tweaking the turn rates now. Speed is also being tapped down, cruise missiles will get a speed boost. Might keep the speed if I can get the missile to turn right.

Hey Nova I noticed something, Constrictor Missiles are still being sold, if you buy them from a Arms Merchant you're basically wasting money trying to buy them since they disappear into thin air. I sort of want these missiles to kinda come back since they are very, VERY handy in disabling the booster function of a ship. Ever since ES added that flee mechanic it's made it harder to cap ships and these missiles are extremely valuable in preventing them from fleeing.
I usually let the ship flee a distance before firing one of these missiles at it to stop it boosting, that way I'm out in the middle of nowhere where I won't be interrupted by local ships shooting my target or getting shot at by NPC's of a faction I just pissed off by attacking the ship I'm trying to cap.

This mod works fine with 4.10, though currently Im trying to make it work with the ablionskunk2 mods Nova do you have any advice on how to make your mod work with that mod? xD

Turns out that the way the author added missiles breaks alot more. Even before the patch changed the location for the itemlists he used a pretty messy way to add his missiles that basicly killed every other mod adding missiles aswell.Requiemfang wrote:Understandable, take your time
It's not my mod so i'm not allowed to change and reupload his files, but if u were to unpack his mod (i don't get why ppl pack their mods if uploaded somewhere else than steam), delete everything in the /md/ folder and copy this file in, then u should be good.

cool and no worries, I can manage extracting the files from the cat/dat files. It was just trying to narrow down the issue. I thought it better to see if anyone with more experience would be able to track it down so long as I gave the correct type of info and the issue I was running into.iforgotmysocks wrote:Turns out that the way the author added missiles breaks alot more.

Edit: turns out the mod author sort of basically took it upon himself to expand on a mod you did once upon a time.

I'm always hoping to inspire more ppl to get creative, and one thing i was always pretty bad at is actually balancing things.
He seemed to have invested a lot of time to bring lots of new missiletypes into the game, so i took my mod down some years ago knowing that there's a better balanced one available.
I'm sure Nova will get back here eventually to update it properly.
