Pilot Archive

Yeah. I was showed that little trick the other day. Target yourself and /launchmissle. Quite hilarious to see a ship being chased by missles that look like they are going crazy.

I believe it was mentioned once that the command was left in game just for fun. So for the sake of argument, I'll consider it outside of the intended abilities for players.

/launchmissile, used sparingly OUTSIDE of PvP can be fun and sometimes useful. Abusers should face account consequences.

Anyone using it in PvP should be banned. And yes I'm grumpy on the situation.

I do not PvP in space so my question is relating to PvE use:

Does this launch missles without a lock or does it bypass the reuse on the missle?

There are 5 things in this game which absoluetly get my goat (i have alot of '5 lists' dont i?)

In no particular order

1. Bad attitudes.
2. Spawn camping.
3. Escort missions.
4. EP3.
5. /launchmissle in pvp.


It used to be worse, theres a second or so delay now before the next fake missle comes out, said fake missles USED to come out as fast as you could mash a button.

Ive had people do that to me, i couldnt see because i was blinded, i coudlnt aim accuratly because i was blinded and my ship was shaking soo badly, and i couldnt fly for crap because the ship was shaking.

I concur except for repeat ace's on camping thing and when I only have a small window of time I'll go camp one of a few different one's for 20-40 mins

I think he meant hyperspace entry point camping in pvp, but I could be wrong.

PvE it does nothing, just launches a fancy dummy missile.

PvP it launches a dummy missile that causes lag and a bright flash. The real halmark of a lousy, cowardly pilot in PvP.

I have no problem withthem being near the spawn pointONLY IF they are honorable enough to wait til the incomming pilot is given a chance to go evasive, outright loadkillers $uck

The only time I use the missle thing is to shoot myself when i'm bored...
Mind you shooting 12 missiles at yourself kinda looked cool.

I feel better for not being the only person to do this.
