Geez, what one stray rocket can do...

Okay, I'm tired of smacking me UE destroyers buds upside the head with my rockets by accident and having them blaze fury at me...

So, where is that EVO govt fixer plug that will prevent this from happening? Can't seem to find that little bugger...

Much thanks,
A fat ugly jerk

Hi! I'm Alien the Hinwar and I'm a stuiped jerk!
I'm big, mad, strong, and Hinwar! I yell 'LONG LIVE THE UE!', but I smash vikimadegie lovers every chance I get!
Cause I'm Alien the Hinwar and I'm a stuiped jerk!
I'm always making the mods mad doing something or another, but I'll never learn! I'll never turn! Look at my karma!

Heh. Yeah I have that problem too. I also don't like THEM HITTING ME with unguided rockets!!! It seems like every time I do a mission for voinians or UE that involves either me defending the system or me going to blow up something with some backup, I'm hammered by stray rocket after stray rocket, many of which come from the my backup ships! At the very least Escorts' rockets don't do this.

------------------
If you knew my precise record on my game you'd think I'm an Azdgari, but I'm not. Just the commander of a small mercenary fleet that favors the Azdgari. Ships include: 3 Aradas including my own, 2 CW's, and 2 Laziras.

I have a simple and easy sollution; I don't use rockets, just guided weaponry.

Yeap, same here. If I'm working with the UE, like I usually do, I always use hunter missiles, since they are guided and have no chance on hitting a friendly unit.

heh, I don't even use rockets, infact, the only secondary weapons I use are Azdara fighter bays, if I can put it on my ship, and if I am with the Azdgari, and the plasma siphon, if I am with the Igadzra. Otherwise I'll just equip a bunch of swivel phase cannons and "Monty-Python" all my enemies. I usually choose a fast ship (Arada, or Azdara) so it works out ok.

Wow...I don't think I would like the game without more secondary weapons then that! Just energy weapons? Hmmm... 😉

Same with me. In my Voinian Cruiser, these are the only two weapons I use: 1-Phase Turrets 2-Sometimes Pursuit Missiles. I rarely use secondaries, and only when I really really need them. Too expensive to maintain for me.

Well for the people who get upset about stray rockets hitting them, it is really THERE fault. People why choose to run into a big fire fight will always be putting themselves at risk. On missions where I have the UE helping me out, I just let off burts of energy fire when I have a clear site, then fire hunters when fellow vessels are blocking the way.

1-No offense or insult, but in that case you use "Their" not "There". Don't worry, I didn't even know there was such a word as "Their" until my mom pointed that out to me while doing my grammar homework.

2-Yes, you do put yourself in danger when going into a firefight. I try very hard to avoid big firefights like that, but they are fun.

LOL!!! Funny you mention that. My mom was telling me during school work a few days ago the same thing, only I got mixed up. I know you use "their" if it is being used as an adjective. (like "their camera") So when I used the "there" in my last post, I couldn't decide on which one to use. 🙂

Yeap, firefights can be fun, because if you accidently hit one of your friendlies, you've got three different sides shooting at each other. 🙂

Of course, if one gets a GOOD ship like an ARADA then they don't have to worry, they can just maneuver around the rockets...

------------------
Is the answer to this question 'no'?
Chaos to the enemies of the Azdgari

Yes, same thing with an Azdara. In those, you can fly circles around the rockets.

No, death is the best weapon. And fear, too.

Ok, you can strike death and fear into the AI enemies all you want. 🙂
