Hellhound missles just because they were the most bad-ass thing in EVN http://evn.wikia.com/wiki/Hellhound_Missile_Launcher
I couldn't find a video of these babies in action but the sound they make is so fucking awesome its sounds like a missle that's fueled by Rage and death
If we get any missles that are as awesome as the Hellhound they should be called Hellhounds and look like em, in honor of EVN a game so fondly remembered by VO players.

Ha ha ha. I remember those. :^)

While I'm quite certain that Guild Software isn't going to be plagiarizing Escape Velocity: Nova (or any other game), I don't see a problem with the introduction of a 'flak'-type missile. Something thats low-to-moderate damage, but has a large blast radius (proxy fuse could be varied as needed -- a small one might actually work better).

Perfect for nailing those pesky Valkyries flying in close formation. ;^)

i like to think of it more as a recognition than plagiarism but that's just because I want Hellhounds so fucking bad.

Hellhounds would be freakin SWEET. They'd probably be banned from NW due to the ridiculous anti-fighter abilities..

Never seen Hellhounds, but you are describing the PERFECT defensive turret weapon for capitol ships.

That could also become the HEAVY weapon that Serco would implement to face the Valk superiority...

Or normal turret weapons. Let's not just limit them to cappies.

I'm in favor of anything from EVN making its way to VO.

I think fighter-mounted guided missiles better than the ones we already have are a bad idea. While swarms aren't too hard to dodge, the only defense against a substantially better missile would be to run away. More running is the last thing most of us want in this game.

Something like that might be sensible for capships as an anti-fighter defense, but I'd rather see turrets requiring skill to use (how about rail turrets?).

Zak, or you or me misunderstood. This is not a weapon that will chase after you for long time. That was their radar missile. This is between VO's flare and missiles. With proxfuse and trajectory correction, but SHORT range.

Tarenty, I only said it was perfect as Flak turret. Never used "only for". Indeed, I imagined it suggested it for Proms' large port to balance Valks agility...

should be fast, but very short homing radius before flying off in proxy explosion mode.

you guys mean... an anti-fighter defense that's better than shields?

I always kinda figured shields made it pretty frickin impossible to take on a cappie in a fighter, but maybe I'm doing it wrong.

i dont really care for flak missles I just want a missle that looks and sounds like the hellhound...

For all i care it could explode into confetti and whipped cream.

For all i care it could explode into confetti and whipped cream.

An Itani weapon, then.

Yes, please. And no, shields make it not impossible to take on a capital ship. It just makes it require teamwork, which is a good thing.

I can, so anyone can solo a trident. Easier than a queen.

Anything bigger requires teamwork. Tridents aren't capships.
