TechMechMeds Swamp Marines 2117	Posted - 2014.01.15 22:37:00 - [1] - Quote Missile have targeting systems and also the ability to change their flight path or be manually controlled. Rockets rely solely on thrust and trajectory. Please correct the name or release a missile variant. Examples - RPG & javelin missile launcher. Ps iv kept it short and sweet, I'm not a rocket scientist lol. Level 2 forum warrior. Minmatar and Gallente fw. I sold my wife and kids to the Amarr for isk, its a valid tactic.
XANDER KAG Red Star. EoN. 546	Posted - 2014.01.15 22:40:00 - [2] - Quote Definition of missile: missile noun : an object that is thrown, shot, or launched as a weapon; especially : a rocket that explodes when it hits a distant target Link Who says you can't kill in style? When CCP plays Dust514

TechMechMeds Swamp Marines 2119	Posted - 2014.01.15 22:50:00 - [4] - Quote Its also a tad bit unfair on military personnel who play dust, they skilled into a missile launcher and get a rocket launcher instead lol.

Banjo Robertson Bullet Cluster Legacy Rising 36	Posted - 2014.01.15 22:53:00 - [5] - Quote The term missile does still work even from a weapon terminology point of view. Also, rockets can be steered and guided just as much as your 'missiles' can.

Next time you hear of a missile propelled grenade launcher or javelin rocket launcher, be sure to let me know lol. Level 2 forum warrior. Minmatar and Gallente fw.

There are guided missiles, and unguided missiles, it doesnt matter if you want to call unguided missiles 'rockets' or guided missiles 'missiles' they are both basically the same thing.

TechMechMeds Swamp Marines 2119	Posted - 2014.01.15 23:21:00 - [12] - Quote Its just not proper for it to be called a missile turret when they fire plain and simple rockets. Level 2 forum warrior. Minmatar and Gallente fw. I sold my wife and kids to the Amarr for isk, its a valid tactic.
Mithridates VI Imperfects Negative-Feedback 2836	Posted - 2014.01.15 23:36:00 - [13] - Quote Nah, I'm pretty sure they fire missiles. All of the projectile types for these turrets are prefixed by "prj_missile_". They deal damage type dt_missilet_large_direct and splash damage is dictated by dt_missilet_large_splash. When they hit, they generate explosion type exp_missile_l. Turns out future spacemans can name their weapons whatever they like when they reinvent them after a dark age. Please refrain from utilizing such inflammatory sarcasm in the future. GÇö CCP Eterne
Mithridates VI Imperfects Negative-Feedback 2836	Posted - 2014.01.15 23:38:00 - [14] - Quote Rocket launchers in the SDE are given tag_weaponclass_missile, so it seems like CCP use "missile" in the more general sense.

We don't "hold our gats sideways up in dis *****" Even if its named missile in a generalised sense, I'd much prefer it to be a rocket turret aye, iv heard one military guy pissed it had no guidance system after skilling into it and at least 4 military guys laughing at how its not proper. But either way, after mithridates explanation I'm not too fussed now. And yeah agreed, admittedly I call the mag a clip, our clips the magical holster that holds about 300 bullets right?
