Kane Fyea DUST University Ivy League 1476	Posted - 2013.07.26 03:29:00 - [1] - Quote As the title says I think swarm launchers should be able to lock onto neutral installations. At least tell me the reason why we shouldn't be able to. I really don't see a down side since FGs and Plasma cannons can destroy neutral installations.

Plus militia swarms take 4 shots to kill one. Plus, you would have to switch back to your actual class later... So I doubt it's an issue.

Nocturnal Soul Immortal Retribution 278	Posted - 2013.07.26 05:21:00 - [6] - Quote I think swarms should be like valkyrie rockets but we dont always get what we wont
Garth Mandra The Southern Legion 51	Posted - 2013.07.26 07:52:00 - [7] - Quote Let us dumb fire them. Some balancing would be required to prevent them being used as shotguns like they once were. CCP were lazy with the turning off dumbfire during beta. They should fix the balance properly (warhead activation time, spread, launch time, etc) so that they can turn dumbfire back on.

I would like them to dumb fire but if I could lock onto installations it would be just fine.

It has decent damage just slow travel time and a tight blast radius.

They were the flaylocks of early beta from what I heard.

Proto swarms with max proficiency. lol I swear i've blown up neutral installations before, specifically to stop enemies from getting them. Maybe my screen was glitched each time, or maybe it's been changed?

I blow them up because they are an annoyance to both infantry and vehicles . I'll destroy them when they're red or a forge gunner or vehicle driver will.

I think we should be able to lock onto anything with a sufficiently high sig profile, while giving Shield mods a penalty (increase) to Sig Profile. Let's see how they like their stacked Shield Extenders then......

Bright Cloud Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 177	Posted - 2013.09.16 22:01:00 - [46] - Quote dumb fire swarms would be OP as hell due to their really low fire intervall delay. Basically you could empty a full swarm launcher clip in less then a sec. Which would tear tanks apart if you get up close to them.

So please get out of my thread unless you have something to say about the OP.
Marukse Geddrase Eyniletti Rangers Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2013.10.16 19:14:00 - [49] - Quote Maybe increasing the reload time and snap-shot time of the launcher would make it a bit more of a balanced weapon. I still like the idea of dumb-fire swarms, but perhaps make the user vulnerable while firing or make it take longer than a half a second to empty the missile tube. If you have ever played Halo-Reach, the rocket-hog would be a good example of this. That set-up is a lot more difficult to use effectively, but can still do a massive amount of damage with a direct hit.
