Has this been suggested? Sorry if it has.

One, maybe two missles or rockets, something with the power of an avalon.
Pilot fires from a good distance, and your view changes to that of the nose of the rocket. You have limited maneuverability (something like a loaded moth without mouselook) but you could steer the rocket into the target.

This would be a very effective weapon against a Leviathan, and would be great if 2 man ships are implemented. Very dangerous for a lone pilot, as his/her ship would be uncontrollable while the rocket is in flight. Maybe a detonation button will *boom* the rocket if the pilot wants to return to his ship's controls, or gets close enough to the target to do some damage. Or -more refined- L-mouse button triggers immediate detonation, R-mouse button exits the view, but keeps the warhead armed and it tracks on a straight course until impact or it runs out of fuel.

The thought arose from thinking of a weapon that could be used in larger-scale battles yet would not be effective in normal PVP. Something that a Ragnarok (or the new TPG nanocap) could use to fill it's role as a heavy bomber.

The. Redeemer.

Redeemer indeed! I'd love to see bot logic try and shoot it down too :D

Here's my suggestions
a) It should be dreadfully slow... like 50m/sec... with a very slow acceleration (eg 15 sec of fuel to accelerate it to maybe 100m/sec)
b) It should have excellent range... 1-1.5 minute flight time
c) Your ship should brake if you are in nose-view, making you extra vulnerable
d) You should only be able to carry 1 or 2 on your ship
e) It should weigh A LOT! Your ships manoeverability with this thing equipped should be greatly reduced.
f) It should only be able to be mounted on special variants of particular ships: eg. Ragnarok Assault Bomber (dual mount), Hornet (single mount), Centaur (single mount)
g) Can't be indestructable... give it some armor (like 1000)... a skilled pilot should be able to shoot it down from a distance, but it'd be pretty tough to do it from very far away so as not to get damaged in the explosion.
[Edit] h) Make it dreadfully obvious that this thing is in space and moving... give it a nice sunflare like exhaust trail (really long for eye candy and ease of recognition)

License Requirements: Combat 8 or 9, Heavy Weap 9 or 10 (or more, I dunno)
Standing Requirements: 900+ with your nation or 800+ with Corvus

Different capital class ships should carry varying amounts of these, but the supply SHOULD exhaust (so as not to create a uber-bomb platform of doom)

Or, meh, just bring the avalons back. :P

Having a Redeemer would be nice.

But an Uber Anti Bot weapon? Isn't the levi too easy to kill as it is?
