Yay! :wink: [/size]These have been in the game for a while but I don't ever remember testing them or using them . They are supposed to produce one or more laser attacks rather than a single warhead. I need to spend some time looking at alternative warheads in general.
(Honestly, then what do laser warheads do currently?)
Yes, this all has been suggested before.Yes, that's a good idea. Added to the list!
The main problem is that at the speeds in this game, a ton of matter probably has way more punch than a strength 100 warhead, IF there was momentum.
As the technobabble goes for "Space-Time Bending Warp generators" in that respect, the missiles don't actually have any speed, and as such, this wouldn't happen.
What would be possible would be an armor penetrating missile, sort of like a HEAT charge, that deals less damage and has a lower to hit chance in turn for higher armor penetration.
