i don't know if this has already been addressed or not but will you still be able to swith missles for torps? I surely hope so because torps are so much better than missles and if no one can swap them out then that would mean a lot of people shooting missles=lag

Eww.. that would make Torp missile ships ..You've said it yourself, Torps can be more useful than missles, so torps for missile swapping would make a ship with more offensive power, eg a missle destroyer-->torp destroyer

If I have any say (along with about 80% of the playerbase) then no. We have ships designed to use missiles, and ships designed to use torps. Letting them swap makes the game difficult to balance.

Because of abuse of the Missile Dread as a torp boat to totaly destroy enemy ships in seconds, I don't think the swapping will be back.

NO
NO
NO
NO
The missile/torp swap is one of the biggest imbalances in the current version... it would be downright silly to allow it to continue.

tough i think some ships (battle dread, battle cruiser, interceptor frigate, dunno about the rest) could use a bit more torps insteed of missiles

I know that missle torp swapping is a bad deal in which it totally defeats the purpose of the ships intended design. But there are some vessels that need some more torps too there layout. The ugto and icc have there torp cruisers.
Where is ours, the scarab has been demorilized into thinking its a missle cruiser, for long as i remember this ship had just as many torps as the dreads if not more, had one elf and an AM mine. was a power hungry ship wit no special slots for power.
Our other cruisers are beam oriented as they should be and also have a missle torp mix, that is fine but having more missles on a ship that eighty to ninety percent of the time fires within 400-200 gu radius missles dont seem to make much sense. i dont want too see a simple minded torp fest but some of our vessels have a shortage of torps we are kluth not icc, feel free to bash me as i know it is coming, your thoughts plz.
Oh by the way im not for missle torp swapping just wanting to let u all know how i feel bout our ships, some i believe need reworked, U devs have it touph enouph so adeiu, is that how u spell it adieu hmmm anyhow
Until then

Going along on the 'heck no' line of reasoning. Missile/torp switching was one of the reasons I quit playing.
@ Thugo - As to rebalancing some ships, that's a different question, I'd like to see a few more torps on some of the closer range ships. But allowing missile/torp switching messes the game up bad.

Missiles and torps will not be swappable. Thats why we have a missle cruiser and a torp cruiser...

Would you like to see a Missle dread with all torps?! Do you know what damage it can do?! Your crazy if you want that..

i sure hope the luth missles get a lil better or we add some torps to their line up. the only thing that keeps the luth above water now is swaping missles with torps, and rupters with cannons.
Sinking feeling going on here
