Is there a specific ruleset for targeting? Do the different types of missiles vary in respect to targeting? Did SOE give us any stats for this?

I targeted the Tier 5 Ghrag Mercenary Gunboats under reticule for 5-10 seconds (loaded down with Mk III Protons , Space Bombs), closing on range (basically doing a pass) and did not lock time and time again. As you may know the gunboats have no mercy and give chase, as a solo pilot I can only fly by so many times. Space Bombs were my plan, I was begging for a lock.

Locking on an A-Wing is nearly impossible at close range. I have yet to score a PvP kill with a missile. I canimagine the JSFs and B-22s will avoid locks with ease.I have not really found a good use for missiles, barring the nice graphics, my mounted lasers are just to simple and effective.Missile locks are so sketchy whyput forth the effort and credits, possiblytaking unneccessary damage when I could just line up and fire. I do well in space and absolutley love the game and JTL. I just feel like I am wasting my ordnance slots, .......... but they are still there.

I fly a Tie Oppressor and have a missile loadout that would make other factioned pilots jealous (err... or maybe not). I would like to know if this is the way it is , or am I missing out on the missile concept.

I want them. I load them. I carry crates. I just don't know why.

for pvp i use two image rec lauchers fast locking and only best chaffs work at a percent chance to work
