We all know that K'Luth only have 1 type of missle. This idea would give the human factions more missle types, but leaves the K'Luth relatively missleless.

So here's my K'Luth missle addon

The "Ghost" Missle

The latest K'Luth missle, their answer to our Ion Tracker Missle, is the Ghost Missle. Based on video footage, and unexploded warheads found on hulls of destroyed ships, this missle seems to be equipped with a Cloaking Device. Unfortunately, even scanners can't pick them up. They are slower then our ITs, and a little less manuverable, but this is more then made up for for the ability to cloak. Its tracking systems seem to not be able to pick up ships through its cloaking field, and therefore, must decloak, check the position of its target ship, adjust course, and then recloak. At about 300 gu from its target, is the last recorded location of one of these missles, where it decloaked, and became visable. It then cloaked at about 260 gu, barely out of range of it's target's lasers, and was last detected hitting it's target's hull. Upon the last cloak before hit, it seems to become a dumbfire weapon, unable to pick up its target. Other records show that these missles will rarely hit anything cruiser sized and smaller, it is devastetingly effective against Drednought and Station hulls, as they are slower, and have much less manuverability. Standardly, if it does miss, it keeps going for a total of 500 gu, and then checks its target's location, realigns, and attemps to hit again. It is given this name, because of the short time it is detectable, and then reappears a good 400-500 gu away. (Visible for 100 gus.. about 3-4 seconds)(Skipper Missle might be a better name)

Damage: 5000-6500
Travel speed: 35 Gu/s
Ammo: 6
Range: 2800
Reload: 45 seconds
Fire time: 0.5 seconds
Energy: 3.4
Turning speed is worse then the IT Missle

Reload and energy are higher due to the increased payload. Speed and turning were decreased as well.

Ok here are the specs of the current IT missile

Ion Tracking Missile

Damage: 3750 - 5000
Travel speed: 55Gu/s
Ammo: 5
Range: 2500
Reload: 30 seconds
Fire time: 0.5 seconds
Energy: 2.4


Ok i suggest we split the IT missile idea into 3 types.


Ion Tracking Interceptor Missile
Scientist noted that the standard IT missle had a minimal effect on the smaller enemy space craft.
While they noted the failure of the IT on that area the did see that the AR missile had quite some success in the area.
It was then decided that a hybrid would be made. they would sacriface payload and range to add speed and manouverabilety to counter the agile craft.

Damage: 2000 - 2750
Travel speed: 55Gu/s
Ammo: 15
Range: 1500
Reload: 20 Seconds
Fire Time: 0.2
Energy: 1.8



Anti Capital Tracking Missile
A suden breakthrough in capital ship alloy development lead to an dramatic increase of the hulls of those ships.
Ignoring this both human factions fought and became seemingly aware that the once hull tearing IT missile had lost its fangs on the larger ships.
Development was started on an Anti capital ship missile.
A great deal of speed and tracking were stripped to improve the missiles range and give the missile a MASSIVE payload.
Shamefully due to its low speed its effect on cruisers was minimal due to the fact it could be dodged whit ease if not destroyed by Point defenses.
Even dreadnoughts could evade the missile whit some luck if the point defense was not online but that did not change the fact that IF the missile hit its damage would be immense let alone a salvo that hit.

Damage: 5000 - 6500
Travel speed: 35Gu/s
Ammo: 3
Range: 3500
Reload: 40 Seconds
Fire Time: 2.0 * you press fire and the missile comes out 2 secs later to avoid it being used as a dumb fire weapon *
Energy: 3.5
** NOTE **
The 2 sec fire time come AFTER the reload is completed.
Also its tracking capabilety would be equal to the to the Fusion torpedo.
** NOTE **


*** FACTION SPECIFIC TECH **


Fusion Ion Tracking Missile--- ** ICC **
To counter the cruiser threat the standard IT missile was only given a payload increase using a similar process as whit the Fusion Torpedo.
Also it ammo ammount was increased to improve combat effectiveness.

Damage: 4250 - 5500
Travel speed: 55Gu/s
Ammo: 10
Range: 2500
Reload: 30 seconds
Fire time: 0.5 seconds
Energy: 2.4


AntiMatter Ghost Missile--- ** K'Luth ** Idea of baikon nice work
The latest K'Luth missle, their answer to our Ion Tracker Missle, is the Ghost Missle. Based on video footage, and unexploded warheads found on hulls of destroyed ships the Kluth modified salvaged Anti Capital Tracking Missile into this deadly stealth weapon.
Its characteristics were taken from the Psi missile while lowering its actual payload to do so the missile did gets its stealth abilety.

Damage: 4500-5750
Travel speed: 35 Gu/s
Ammo: 6
Range: 1600
Reload: 45 seconds
Fire time: 2.0 seconds
Energy: 3.4
** NOTE **
The 2 sec fire time come AFTER the reload is completed.
Also its tracking capabilety would be equal to the to the Fusion torpedo.
** NOTE **
Turning speed is worse then the IT Missle and tracking the same or nearly the same as a AM torpedo.

** UGTO **
no idea yet come on ppl let those grey cells work.

All of these weapons should be mounted on the Heavy weapon slot for use.
Not only can a ship be outfitted even more for a single purpose it also increases the variety of weapons a bit
