I have been playing eve for over a year now, and one thing that has always bothered me is that missiles just appear out of the center of ships.
So, with that in mind, i propose that CCP create "Missile Turrets" on ships
I like to imagine a ship shooting a volley of missiles from multiple turret slots on the ship, rotation to follow targets, etc just like regular turrets

i feel the same way but i wouldn't go with turrets per say just a visual missile bay no rotation missile can track targets as it is they don't need to get lazy

Drakes look awesome, and even have the missile bays on the ship. But it fires from 'de belly :(
Would totally love static launchers. They don't even need to track.

+1 for this idea, I've always hated not having launcher models.

Support 100%
Also, can we please have missiles that actually look like missiles instead of huge blobs of light? Can we have shield deflection ripples for shield tankers? Can we have missiles that move faster? A Caldari pilot's dreams.... A dream deferred.

Drake has a ton of launchers installed on it's hull. Maybe build on that concept? i.e. those launchers only appear if you actually have launchers mounted, and missiles shoot out from there, then turn to face the target (much like the new lev/rag doomsday). As this would take a second or so, maybe increase missile speed a notch, so they have same range/time to target as before.

I remember a while ago CCP saying that they would never do this because the amount of variants drawn would be crazy (apparently)

Right now only the Drake and Phoenix have launchers on the model, and missiles still fly from the center of the ship.
Then again it seems CCP totally gave up on missiles the day they made them stop flying around objects.

While I agree that it would be nice there are a few problems with this idea:
1. Not even close to all ships have the number of 'hardpoints' necessary for high slot weapons to accommodate for the total number of combined turrets and launchers...
2. Missiles are quite a bit larger than turret ammo, there for their launch platforms/turrets should be as big too...
3. Creating new assets that is ultimately fit on any ship is a hassle, not to mention it takes a lot of time and resources
In the end, while I'd like to see this coming, it can wait for more important things, like just not trying to fix stuff that aint broken.

Thread cleaned up a bit. Just a reminder, simply writing /signed and nothing more is considered spam so those posts have largely been sent to oblivion. Razar51 has a good idea here, it would be great to see some more feedback on it from you.

There is the added bonus that you can actually see what the ship is carrying, a ahip with neuts in the highs is approached differently from a ship that has missiles there, especially with split weapon systems this would be better.

I've played for 5 years and always wondered why CCP have never had a missile bay graphic. It doesn't have to be functional, the missiles can still "appear" like they do now but it's just an aesthetic addition rather than an empty turret placeholder.
I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite thread in the forums.

I totally agree with the OP on this. Almost from the first day back in '05 when I fit a missile launcher onto my first ship, I thought... "why are there turrets but no missile bays?"
I would always think of old Battletech mechs that always had missile bays on them.
+1 for a good post.
