Thread: Let us buy Missiles with Prestige points.
You fly up and talk to a space station of your space faction and get a dialog choice to rearm your starfighter. Then the space station will give you a list of missiles that you are able to carry in your current ship along with prices in prestige points. You buy a rack from the station and your missile tube is filled and you are all set.
Reasons this makes sense…
Currently not much to do with prestige points and any Ace would have millions by now.
Missiles are expensive and hard to come by, therefore except for certain pvp situations they are pretty much never used even though the devs went to a lot of trouble to add them to the game.
The POB master ships all have missile tubes which would be very helpful to keep filled.
Missiles are fun to use and have pretty effects.
Limitations needed…
Using prestige points in particular means that pilots on the level treadmill wouldn’t have access to this feature yet, making it another reason to be an Ace without messing up the mission balance too much.
The station missiles would necessarily be less powerful than crafted ones but still good enough to be worth using. (Unless of course shipwrights don’t care to craft them anymore which would make missiles a master-only purchasable item.)
The prestige cost should be relatively high so that one could not simply buy missiles and shoot down enough ships with them alone and be able to buy more. More powerful missiles should cost more prestige.
The last thing this games needs is more items taken away from the crafters. I use missles all the time and I NEVER PvP, theres a shipwright over by Tyrena that's made a fourtune off me alone with those things.
How about the Devs give us more things we need to use missles on instead? And let us use prestige points to get extra quests and missions, or even let us play 'Image designer' for our own ships, customizing their looks.

How about a compromise, then? For a reasonable Prestige cost, let the space stations reload your missles for you. You'd still have to have the missles in your inventory, meaning you would still have ot buy them from a crafter, but at least you wouldn't have to land to fill up again.

I like that compromise.
I was just about to post that Shipwrights got shafted enough with ROTW already :/
