Confed ships and others

Post by Bishop »

It seems to me that when I buy one of the nice confed ships I can only mount one or a couple of missles per hardpoint. Am I just not far enough into the game or is that all the potential these things have. The stilletto is a great ship but if you want to do more than fire cannons it is a bum ride. Oh and what the hell I will try one of thes fancy emoticons :shock: .

I think it has something to do with the way Wing Commander has always done missles up to this point. Since missles were carried on an external rack, and not in a launcher, they only carried on or two of a certain missle. Example, the tarsus can carry a max of 20 missles, while the raptor heavy from WCI carried 5 missles, 2 HS, 2IM, 1 FF. That was considered a LOT at the time.
I love Wing Commander.
I love playing Wing Commander so much I don't know what to do.
I PLAY THEREFORE I AM!
Thats all the proof I need to know that I exist!
