Then I realised that a military missile battery made more sense.

Maybe there could be a missile that hunts for a new target if it loses the first one?

... here's the missile mounted under the wings of a sidewinder.

Simon B wrote:

It does not matter if the missile is flourescent orange - you can track it in the IFF and the exhaust plume is a bit of a giveaway anyway. Have you ever seen a missile in flight in the game?

Simon B wrote:

The missile gets grimy from excess fonhandling - aint you glad you asked?

Whatever - everyone ends up like this:

... a lump of twisted hullmetal.

Not that it matters me - I increase the lighting in my custom-built version of Oolite so I can see stuff Although I'm starting to suspect it's partially due to the rather ancient CRT I play on, as the same scene on the laptop is somewhat brighter.

I recently purchased a Boa Class Cruise with Neolite / Neo-Companion installed, and the forward view is about 2/3rds obstructed on the top by the hull of the BCC. Literally, it comes far enough down to cover the target recticle completely. Is there an update?

I prefer the really grimy version of that one. After all, that bit got terribly abused.. I suppose Griff's hot metal pieces didn't work for you then. Oh well, I am sure he has ideas for those..

Can I just clarify that in Oolite standard missiles are actually "hitiles" - they must actually hit you to cause any damage - is this not the case?

I'm not being pedantic but there is a difference and the ability to inflict damage upon a target are quite different.

They need to come within 25m, so they're nearmissiles

No, I meant these:

But they might be a bit small.

i forgot to put that fridge in the oxp, i think i meant to go back and swap the childs drawing on the front door, it's a bit twisted and sad to have human stick figures, maybe it would be funny with octopus aliens or something?
