I want it. I've never been good with missiles, but I'll happily git gud with them until these drop. I'll also refit my Cutter between scraps to help make them a reality. :3

So we're moving onto MCs. Well im glad we're going to have a variety of weapons but does anyone know if/when are we going to get the size 3 AX missiles? It just feels that now that we're moving onto another weapon system, we're done with the missiles.

CMDR Kohen · Sep 29, 2017

Do we know if these weapons can be used against human ships? And whats the damage percentile?

I think we didn’t do enough in the CG to unlock larger AX missile types.

I've read reports in the subthreads that they do the same damage. I just don't think you can engineer them.

Global rewards dont mention which weapons are unlocked, only where they're available. Be pretty bonk if they've hidden that sort of info! Think they'd learn after the class 4 weapons fiasco when 1.6/2.1 dropped
Hoping that the higher class and seeker/gimballed variants become available as the weeks pass.

According to some people (haven't tested it out myself since im not a PvPer) they function like regular dumbfires. Minimal to no damage on human shields, typical damage on human ship hulls.

Will there be gimballed or seeker weapons?
I can't aim fixed weapons.

Who knows? I hope so as then I can use my Clipper.

Has anyone verified that they can't be engineered? I mean I figure they can't, but meant to try it earlier, just in case.

Yes. Someone tried at Liz Ryder's base.

CjDawson · Sep 30, 2017

Tried myself, as of yet there are no blueprints

ShadowWolf Kell · Sep 30, 2017

You can get them here with the standard LYR 15% discount. The system also carries most ship upgrades besides Big 3 stuff.

Jemison Installation, 109 Piscium

Has anyone tried the turreted versions yet? If so what is their accuracy like?

I'm wondering if they'd be useful on my Clipper? Fit the turreted ones to the Wingtip mounts and fixed to the inner mounts, but I won't bother if they're rubbish.

I haven't tried them but I've watched videos. They're still dumbfires but the AI does the aiming. Considerably less damage, but less power requirements too. I think that might be bugged as normally turrets require more power than fixed do.

I may give it a try then. I'd like to use my Clipper if possible.
