    Is this a config option? I have not been able to find it. Can we please have a way to change the speed at which things are shot out by shoot out rails? We were originally told this would be coming within the next update or two after they were added, but it never happened.

    Why do we need this, isn't the sole reason behind a launch rail to launch craft off a ship? if so, why would we need to vary the speed?

    I mean no offence to your suggestion, I''m just confused... as usual.

    this is yet another attempt at trying to get something that many people have felt was missing from the game for years now: Physical missiles.

    Just throwing out a reminder that this game STILL has no AI ramming mode.

    AI on a ship with no weapons will close to what amounts to ramming distance (Damage pulse range, I think) and orbit. It's simple to change that to ramming. That said, nobody really WANTS ramming to be a thing---collisions, man. collisions. Lag.

    Yeah, we do need a way to adjust this.

    So people could make a server where, for example, the only weapons were warhead launchers. Or maybe a server admin just thinks that 25m/s is too slow for launching fighters. Why would you NOT want something like this? More options for server operators is always nice.

    As I recall when the Vipers launched from the original Battle-star Galactica the pilots were slammed back in their seats for what looked like a few Gs of acceleration. They left the mother-ship at close to cruising-speed. Heck Yeah, I wanna launch my Fighter from a Tardy-Cannon! :p
