Anymore assessment of this weapon's potential viability? |

But with minmatar, you lose anti shield missiles and that is the entire point to this concept |

And amarr khanid ships get get a bonus to Em missiles so this works perfectly with the lore |

I think keeping the laser on should only enhance tracking as the missile would track using? the knowledge passed to it from the initial laser painting and the laser should do just a light amount of damage to add to the incentive to keep the laser on target |

Current laser designators don't damage the target in any way and current laser guided munitions still find their targets just fine. Besides, if the laser designator does damage in game, then the in game target will know from which direction the shot is coming from before the missile hits it.
They don't damage current vehicles because we don't use shields and with a laser being an Electromagnetic projection, it wouldn't make sense for it not to damage shields (it would be a division of the current lasers damage and only affected by the light sharpshooter skill) and the laser would initially be identical to locking on to it but if it is kept designated, it'll shift towards the nearest weak point on the vehicle to where the laser is aimed at. |

I don't play EVE but I get that Amarr can have missiles too.
Scrambler pistols fire missiles. They are Amarr weapons.
Seems like only in my hands they do . If you don't minf, could you quote the OP onto CCP Wolfman's thread?
Along with this:
"Great god Wolfman of the Amarr, this humble Gallentebegs for pity upon his designs and that you favor this AV weapon proposal" |
