does anybody remember back in the day when missles actually would collide with objects other than your target. I remember when we had a war with a pirate corp and my brother who was not tanking had a volley of torps shot at him.I was tanking so i fired up my engines and flew in the projection path of the oncoming torps. And i saved the day..... But there was a darker side to this you could also move a player who was not at war in front of the torp "spewer"....dont think that is a word but what the heck. and boom concordoken..

I actually miss those days, missiles actually required a bit of brains to use back then.
I still remember going 'oh ****' in 0.7 after I realized that my Bloodclaw was going to hit the guy I came to help with the rats...bye bye Stabber lol.
Course, sending an Inferno out to the webbed tackler was fun too.
Missiles were really easy to counter as well, Defenders actually worked.

Yes, those were the days.
It was also good that you didn't need a scrambler... the explosions bumped the target around so it was impossible to align and get into warp.
It was also good that you always instapodded the target. When a target blew up, the next missile in the chain would always hit the pod or can, blowing both up instantly. Ok, it was less fun that the lootcan always was destroyed.
It was a... I dunno if that was good or bad thing, but we sure had anti-blob features then. As the splashdamage blew up any missile inside it's range, it was pointless to activate more than 5-6 launchers on one target.
And it was certainly loads of fun when you could web missiles  (though practily useless thing to do).
Hmm, tux/TomB, can we have these features back? :p

I remember shooting a load of torps at tackling frigs. The frigs would outrun the torps and think they were safe.
Then you could turn on your web and insta-pop them as all the chasing torps hit home at once.

Nothing like a Cav Raven shooting a bs at 90km while burning building upa massive amount of missilles in a cluster (ure traveling same speed as the torps) then them all hitting the bs at once and instant popping him :P *sigh* i miss dual propulsion modules even thou u can get the same speed now at 10x the price
