Welcome to the More Missiles Mod! The goal of the is mod is to... provide More Missiles! Well, yes, but, more Balanced missiles. I liked the Improved Missiles mod and studied it to create this, but thought it was unbalanced and gamey at times. This mod will also fix what I think are design errors by Egosoft.

There are now seven missile types with a total of twentry-seven missiles! Each has their own purpose and should be used through-out the game. There are: Short ranged Drone killers, Long ranged Sub-system area bombardment, Long ranged anti-fighter/light surgical, Medium ranged anti-heavy fighter/heavy surgical, Extreme ranged anti-capship/station, Short ranged saturation, and Medium ranged station capship/crackers.

So the three categories are:

Unguided (It seems you cannot cap the speed on unguided missiles. Thus they will accelerate faster and faster till their fly time is up.)

• -Light Dumb - Short ranged saturation - 2km range
• Light Dumb missile types are designed as close ranged capital ship and station saturation bombs. With a 2km range, 1-3 second reload rates, very fast speeds, medium to large blast diameters, and low damage values they are designed for close untargeted area damage.
• ---V Crushers, Meteorites, Asteroids, Comets

• -Heavy Dumb - Mid-ranged Heavy bombardment - 4km range - SKUNK POPPERS
• Heavy Dumb missile types are designed as medium ranged capital ship and station siege warheads. With a 4km range, 4-10 second reload rates, slow speeds, high damage values, and massive blast zones, they deliver massive area damage to stationary unarmed targets.
• ---Vulcanoids, Plutoids, Planetoids, Nemeses

Guided Single Target

• -Light Guided - Long ranged anti-fighter - 6km range
• Light Guided missile types are designed as long ranged anti-light fighter/light surgical strike missiles. With a 6km range, 1-1. 3 second reload rates, fast speeds, excellent maneuverability, 2 second acceleration time, low damage values, and small blast radii they are designed to eliminate light targets at long range.
• ---Solarflares, Starflashes, Coronariders, Sunstalkers

• -Medium Guided - Mid-ranged Heavy fighter/surgical strike - 8km range
• Medium Guided missile types are designed as medium ranged anti-heavy fighter/ heavy surgical strike missiles. With a 8km range, 1. 4-2. 2 second reload times, medium speeds, decent maneuverability, 2 second acceleration times, medium damage values, and medium blast zones, they are a good all around single target missile.
• ---Novastars, Novapulses, Supernovas

• -Heavy Guided - Cruise Missile - 12km range
• Heavy Guided missile types are designed as extreme long ranged anti-capship/station cruise missiles. With a 12km range, 5-10 second reload rates, slow speeds, low maneuverability, 8 second acceleration times, large to massive damage values, and large blast zones, they are good at destroying slow or stopped targets at long range.
• ---Pulsarbeamers, Quasarseekers, Gammabursters

Guided Multi-Target

• -Light Swarm - Short ranged anti drone - 2km range
• Light Swarm missile types are designed as close ranged anti-drone cluster missiles. With a 2km range, 2-4 second reload rate, variable speeds, excellent maneuverability, 2 second acceleration times, small damage values, and tiny blast zones, they are designed to swat down drone swarms easily.
• ---Spacegnats, Cosmosquitoes, Astrobees, Etherwasps, Celestialhornets

• -Heavy Swarm - Long ranged area bombardment - 8km range
• Heavy Swarm missile types are designed for long ranged area bombardment. With a 8km range, 4 second reload rate, slow speed, good maneuverability, two second acceleration times, medium but many damage values, and large blast zones, they are designed to bombard sub-structural component areas.
• ---Tristars, Pentastars, Heptstars, Enneastars

Other tweaks are:

All vanilla missiles have been tossed.
