Heat Seeking Missiles

[Deleted member 392097]

How do you get Heat Seeking Missiles? Are the just the normal missiles or do you have to have a special combination?

Because it is so hard to search for the answer.

I don't want to be that guy, but OP you really gotta slow down with all these threads. 90% of your suggestions have been suggested before, and all of your questions have been answered in other threads. There is a search function located on the far right of your user bar.

<- It's that little magnifying glass on the right

@Comr4de there is also a big box that pops up when similar stuff is posted, so there is no confusion.

is there a way to stop the swarm missiles attack friendly ships/turrets?

They will attack anything that isn't attached to your own ship.

yeah i know but thats the problem, i want to shoot the enemy not the own factionmembers

Did they get that fixed? It's been quite some time since I last used them, I thought they would go after your own turrets/docked ships? If not that's great because I've got a build that could use them.

There used to be a bug where swarm missiles (the heat seekers) fired from turrets would also attack the host ship, but I'm pretty sure that it was fixed. Apart from that, I can affirm with certainty that missiles fired from the main ship won't curve back and hit the turrets or other docked entity. However, they WILL attack anything that isn't attached to the ship, friendly or not.

Oh that's okay for me, I'm still in the initial building process, just wanted to confirm that before I made a bunch of turrets and immediately regretted it after I add missiles. haha Thanks. =)

Well, you can still use missile turret without swarm missiles :P. And swarm missiles (missile-missile combo) is the only missile combo with heat seeking abilities.

after I discovered that they got fixed I started working on a better delivery systems for it. So far my best attempt is connecting a logic clock to it so they will constantly fire. extremely useful when your surrounded by enemies and you need to constantly lay down a line of fire
