but they simply vanish if they hit the 3k gu mark

| Current PCM's are still the "" missiles.
The new missiles won't go beyond 2500gu. Looking at the new missile specs the highest range i see is 2240gu.

Hmmmm.
Btw limiting Missile ranges to 2k, while guns can fire 800.
Won't it just make it even harder for ICC to keep range =S
Unless we get to fire out the yazooh like the Missile frigate and Missile dessie? [ This Message was edited by: The Fridge on 2010-08-23 08:41 ]

We are trying to limit the actual engagement ranges to under 2000gu.
While it is a nice concept this is not in the direction we are currently going.

If thats the case, it would kill the idea of this new dread, would it not ? Cause i really like this idea; if possible, put this at 2.5kgu ?

k look.
Seriously.
planet hugging a depot planet with that would make it invincible
so i wish you to add:
1 - For #&^*&?&$'s sake.[size=50] A - M - M - O!![/size]
2 - really low armor
3 - 1500 - 4000 GU range
4 - HUGE cooldown.
exept for that it would be asom. oh and also, the lowest speed 1.0 GU and JD recharge double than station.
WH CAPABILITY WOULD ALSO BE NICE .

if these artillery dreads came to be used the core weapon would be fitting to be called a MAC round (magnetic accelerator cannon) sounds interesting but it be difficult and would be most used against planet huggers

...Can this idea not die? It's been shot down about three times; we already have missiles as the long-range artillery of choice.
