That also doesn't look Alleg :P

Now, a beam of remote-nanite thing that consumes more energy to do meaningful repairs to capships...

Yeah, then we can make this cool new ship called the Sector Support Ship and have these massive cap ship nan trains like back in beta!!!!

:D

It doesn't work like that. Missiles fire in a spread. Hold your ship steady, fire a rack of qfs, switch to f3 to see what I mean.

Also target nothing doesn't actually work if there is an enemy in sector. Too bad, as Dumbfires would make good rockets if it did.

I noticed that firing off missiles with no target selected doesn't make them work like an ideal rocket, they go off in different directions, differing by roughly 20 degrees

They still go straight, just not where you're aiming :P

If my assumptions are correct, dumbs vary by up to 3 degrees, while qfs vary by up to 14 degrees. Minigun particles, by comparison, vary by up to 0.6 degrees.

Drop them in a furball fir your interceptor cohorts or in front of you favorite bomb train. I think that a special class of mine with negative damage would do the trick. Would it be possible that they only affect your team?

I would make them fairly expensive to research, and cost money to purchase as well.

Code change or not?
Interesting idea. Not sure it's too practical though.
