Hi,

i know that after the great feedback of the new turret models, CCP said that they will make missile launcher turrets as well but that it needs more work than the turrets. So far i havent heard a word about that for a long time. So my question is:
will they be in the winter expansion?

Has CCP started to work on them, or what is the status of this great feature that would make a lot of people very happy.
Just think how new models in combination with missile salvos would look (also the explosion-fix that missiles would explode at the ship hull and not inside of the center).
For me that would be one of the biggest improvementgs of the expansion.

Also what about the new engine trails? Will they come or not?

I will check up on this and try to give you guys an update next week.

You 2 timing tramp!

He gets a blue box response and I didn't when I asked this same question 1-2 weeks ago. Fooo

while you're waiting for an answer you should try out that character creator they spent so much time, energy and money making to enhance our gaming experience.

In a way, yes. They have started work on them. This was confirmed when they released a video devblog highlighting the change to the raven BS and confirmed (by Basement Ben)

CCP needs to update the ship models so that they will have hard points for the missile launchers and remove the current built-in missile launchers from existing models. (I.E. Drake)

Once they have have updated all the models, they will start work on the missile launchers themselves I'm sure. Art department has " A TON" of work to do... Makes me wonder what they have been doing all this time!?!

Eh. New players only experience rockets, smalls. Too quick too see anything.

People zoom in close enough to see that much detail? Then why is almost every video about swarms of brackets?

Not if the model icons are anything to go by. Keep in mind the short range missiles are supposedly unguided according to lore, so they would have to be aimed.

Thank you for the update.
Please at least consider an easy fix to the currently poor animation of stacked missile launchers.
Make it so that it launches the missiles one after each other with very small pauses between them, instead of all at the same time.
That alone would at least help it suck less. :)

If I remember correctly from other CCP forum posts, the work the Art department has is secondary in adding missile turrets.

Apparently CCP will have to delve into the physics simulation to add them in, something they don't like doing because it's essentially hacked together C++ code from 2000, so adding new stuff or even changing old stuff ends up breaking things.

Put missiles launchers on a little stick like a turret, then dont allow it to turn and remain static. case closed.

It would be okay that they aren't implemented... if it weren't for the fact that it should have been a feature when the game was released....

That's a feature and is probably one of the main reasons they haven't done turrets already.

Hint: Having one missile to calculate trajectory for is more efficient than calculating the trajectory for <=8 separate missiles.

So I did talk to our Art Dept and this is currently not on the drawing board. Artists are committed to other projects at present so there is no one available at the minute to start work on this. If this situation changes we will definitely let you know
