why are there no missile slots on thorax?
thorax is an very good ship and need to have missiles. my dream would be to add one high slot on thorax plus missile slot, on cost of drone bay.

Because it's a drone carrier and has a fairly huge drone capacity. Missles are fairly weak still so it's probably a blessing that it has 5 turrets and no launchers.

its fine, its a drone carrier as Jim Raynor said. Gallante ships dont use missles in general, I think there are a total of 4 ship that does.

There are pirate versions of both the Thorax and the Vexor that are able to carry missiles. Get the blueprint to one of those and you'll have your dream ship.

I have a throax but i do just find without misstles, if you head out of caladari space and go to some 0.0 sectors in the Outer-Ring section u can get some heavy serpentis that can easly get u some money at 8-10k each and cruisers gve 20k each but be careful, they warpscramble :)

The BS isn't the one to be afraid of, The attitude of the pilot looking at you through the window and thumb on the fire button is what u should be afraid of....

Most caldar ships do not use missles because they are drone carriers.
Drones have a optimal range of 500m and usually go as clos to an enemy ship whe attacking it.
Now guess what happens to them when some cruise missles with a explosion radius of 500m strike the ship they are attacking?

Each race seems to specialize in a certain area, and drones are really kind of like smart missiles that don't blow themselves up. :)
Thorax has a drone capacity of 2000m^3, which allows me to carry 8 heavy drones (wasps).
The damage those wasps do to pirates is staggering.
Sometimes, I just shoot a single small round at a pirate to "tell" the drones where to attack.
They shred 20k - 30k pirates with ease and rarely die, since the pirates are targeting ME with their missiles.
I've played with missiles when I drove a Gallente Tristan and they were pretty and made an impressive sound, etc.. but they aren't much more useful than that.
Missiles are expensive and there's too much chance of splash damage to other stuff, like corpmates' drones, ships, etc.
