So I was having a little trouble with spy stash. I was getting jammed (4 Annhilators versus ferox) without fail, and had to warp out. So I figured, hey, FOF missiles! So, I train for them (never had a need for them before) and I'm pleasantly surprised, as I'm spewing missiles. Sure, it's hitting whatever is closest and not focusing fire in any way, but it's better than nothing.
So start making my way through, having killed what was jamming me. This is where the pain starts. I have something targetted, and off go the missiles... at an abandoned stargate. Umm. Ok. I really didn't consider that my 'Foe', but sure... I tried turning them all off, choosing a new target, turning back on.. but they just loved that stargate.
So, on the stupid front... Is there some way that I missed to get the missiles to, y'know, fire at what -is- targetted, if something is? Or is it a matter of reloading to normal missiles when not jammed, then back to FoF if I get jammed again?

The fof missiles dosent care that you have a target locked...it still goes for the threat that is closest to you. If you want to shoot a locked target, change back to normal missiles.

We will not give up until we have penetrated the rear entrance to Stain, we hope this will hurt SA to the point they start to cry.

Has anyone used these to get you out of a pinch when jumped by pirates? I've thought of keeping some in cargo in case of emergency. Some thoughts:
1. You could always swich to them if they start jamming you.
2. In a ferox your cap isnt an issue so as long as you are alive you are spewing missles.
3. If they are jamming, the pirates are counting on you not getting a lock in thier loadouts.
4. I would make me very happy to ruin a pirates day  this way.

I don't care for FoF because the only ships they work well on are Caldari missile boats with launcher bonuses and even then those aren't exactly great with FoF.

I actually carry 100 FoF missles on me at all times. Its enough for 1 load in all 3 of my Cyclones heavy launchers. The only time i have ever used them was to force a pvping tech 1 cruiser to jump out because his jamming of me wasn't helping him :P
I don't consider them anything more than backup weapons for a very limited set of uses. Having them attack non-corp gang mates in empire is a bad thing. (Do they still do that? its been a cpl years since i risked FoF use in empire)
