Difference between revisions of "Category:Missiles & Bombs"

This page collects the zillions of different varieties of missiles & bombs.

• For tips on using them, see: Missile tactics & Using weapons of mass destruction

• The following OXPs contain large amounts of missiles & bombs (and are the main source of the list beneath):

Armoury by Thargoid

Missiles and Bombs also by Ramirez

On the other hand, the über-missiles from the Killit OXP have been omitted as they were never intended for serious play - but rather to make a point about Cheating.

• List of OXPs which also affect missiles or bombs:

Guide to Accuracy OXPs

Missile Combat Reimagined changes a number of things including susceptibility to ECM

APRIL

Mine Safety Catch prevents premature release

Missile Analyser allows the analysis of incoming missiles to allow selection of an appropriate defence

Missile Booster gives fired missiles a speed boost (useful if flying large slow ships like a Python)

Missile Beep

Missile Machine (from Armoury) manufactures the bally things from scratch!

Missiles modification is less sophisticated than Missile Combat Reimagined, and again tweaks the effectiveness of the ECM

• Defence against missiles

• Vanilla game defences

Turn & run (reduced kinetic damage on impact)! Witch Fuel Injectors really help here!

Target incoming missile with laser (STE helps, but you may well need an OXP such as SniperLock to succeed)

Target incoming missile with another missile

ECM

• OXP Defences

Anti-Missile System (AMS Darts) (from Armoury) - note that the Vimana HUD has an AMS dart counter

Chaff (from Missiles and Bombs)

Defence Mine (from Missiles and Bombs)

Missile Rack (from Armoury)

Quirium Cascade Mine Detector - and Target System Plugins warn of the release of Cascade Mines to allow a fast escape!

• The Vanilla game missiles & bombs are:

Missile (Faulcon de Lacy HM3 Homing Missile)

ECM Hardened Missile (Faulcon de Lacy ECM-hardened HMX5 homing missile)

Quirium Cascade Mine (Tyley-Feynman Quirium Cascade Mine)
