Since the NPC buff I have had to alter my play style to accommodate their new found talents. I fly a python with three pulse lasers and used to have two multicannons. I chopped them in for two 18 round missile pylons carrying seeker missiles. By blasting an enemy's shields down with the lasers, two to four missiles reduces their armour really quickly before they can do me significant damage. Although quite costly to reload (around 24K) its still cheaper than repair costs caused by losing my shields quickly in a dogfight. I have not had one miss with a missile yet (pardon the pun!) and I have used them against several (50+) NPCs now.
The reload cost can be further mitigated by synthesising reloads in the right hand pane. I am currently trying to find some mercury so that I can make advanced reloads. Anybody know if this is rare or abundant and should I be looking anywhere in particular for it?
Whilst I love the missiles I wish their contrails were better graphically, I remember the best ones being in Wing Commander Prophecy... you knew when you let one go in those days! GD
