More specifically targeting missiles and bombs wanted

[Aussie Gamer]

There are bombs for population, climate, supply bases and space ports.
What about yards and intel and research.

There are missiles for master computers, engines, weapons and shield generators.
What about bridges, cargo (oops! there goes the troops!) and cloaking devices.

Help more smart missiles are required, just don't ask the USA for them. :-)

I don't think a boomerang constitutes a "smart" weapon, so what do you suggest?

Why wouldn't you ask the USA for smart weapons? Modern smart weapons were invented here, used first by us, and oh yeah, they work like a charm.
But yes, I want more smart missiles in the game. Especially the missile that would take out a shipyard.

[Triumvir Emphy]

Actually smart weapons where a british/german concept, just like CIWS was an american rip off from Goalkeeper. But that is besides the point.

As these weapons currently exist in the game, could it be modded instead of bugging MM do provide us with such.

I want shields that block these "smart weapons", but the ability to "try" to hit specific components.

Ie. halve your accuracy, but if you hit you will nail a specific component (engine #5), unless, of course there is shields or armor in the way.

Well, I was talking about the laser guided and terrain matching weapons like laser guided bombs and cruise missiles. These were totally American inventions, and though the Germans invented the first guided weapons, they are pretty ancient, using visual, wire, and radio to communicate with the bomb. Modern, as I interpret it, is where the bomb does not need further inputs from the operator, just point and click.

A lot of things weren't invented by America but we sure improved on them!

[Triumvir Emphy]

Even our most advanced smart/guided weapons use a laser painter or incase of the anti tank weapons, tiny fiber optic cables to guide it inflight.

But that is besides the point, i think smart weapons can be modded, but quoting puttin "i have an inborn laziness" as in i can't find the time or stamina to mess with the SEIV txt files at the moment.

Yes! SmartBomb SY! I've been asking for that since before the game was released! Send in your emails, people. It seems to require a large vote from the customer population to get a suggestion added. An anti-cloaking device weapon might be an interesting addition to the pool of options. Would be nasty to lose your cloaking device deep in enemy territory while trying to raid a planet or something! Anti-cargo seems redundant, though. I have yet to try using "Population only" weapons against transports with population. But I guess it's beside the point. If you can get close enough to use a specialized weapon, you can smoke the whole transport anyway.

Well that was fun. There is nothing like stirring the Yanks up!
Any way, back to the topic.

Are troops POP?

Oh by the way, there are missles that are guided solely by the reflected IR off the target and are not camera or wire guided.

USA must have good INTEL level as they seem to get tech off of other countries. ;-)
