Maegil's Missiles

More Missiles

Overview

This .oxp was written back in 2007. It introduces 5 new missiles and renames the older two.

Detail

...I'd like the "Faulcon de Lacy HM3" as the average missile , unmodified , with its aggressiveness representing 0.5 and available at most systems, but have other options of HM/Homing Missiles according to the system's tech level. (for HMs, I mean - there is the more exotic equipment from Ramirez's Missiles and Bombs OXP, which is quite different).

E.g.: a "Taranis EX5 MRSSM" missile with a state-of-the-art guidance system and high explosive yield would be available on the highest tech level systems, or crazy stuff such as a Benulobiweed Tailchaser 2.5 Guided Missile" with a maximum speed of 2.5LM and high aggressiveness but a pitch of only 1.5; the midranges should be variations on the basic HM3; and in crummy anarchies it shouldn't be possible to find but worthless crap (except, perhaps, on some seedy black markets - but then again, you should be able to find anything there).

Homemade missile

TL: all; cost 10₢

Made in some backyard sweatshop, this crude but effective homing missile has the most basic guidance system.

The standard Oolite missile TL: 2; cost 30₢

Fast and accurate when used in conjunction with standard targeting scanners.

Vega Corp's homing missile, fast and powerful. Targeting scanners recommended.

Hardened against ECM

Benulobiweed Tailchaser Hardhat

The first practicable result of Benulobiweed Inc.'s foray into weaponmaking is in this faaaasst ECM-hardened interceptor missile.

Taranis ECMR2 MRHSSM

TL: 13; cost 500₢

Taranis Corp's Medium Range (ECM-)Hardened Ship-to-Ship Missile, packing a good punch and a better state-of-the-art guidance system than the FdL counterpart.

Note

• Maegil seems to have erred. He wrote "2" for the standard missile (FdL HM3) TL in his .oxp which in-game results in a TL of 3
• This was written in 2007 and is in Legacy Scripting. This oxp was rescued from oblivion by LittleBear: see here. The vanilla game script had just been altered to allow oxp's to override missile definitions.
