Need weapons help please

Submitted by Todd77 on Sun, 2007-01-28 21:45. Space Empires V FAQs

I'm well into the game and it still seems that the Capital ship missile is by far the best weapon, unless ofcourse you kamikaze to extremely short range. All the other weapons are not effective at all at medium range, but the capital ship missile has good range and decent damage. What am I missing?

Also, what I have advanced weapon mounts but how do I view the weapons report on the direct fire weapons WITH the weapon mount installed. It seems that the direct fire weapons report does not improve as weapon mount technology advanced. Also, what does level 2, 3, 4 etc do to the damage/range of the weapon?

Does having multiple missile components allow for more missiles being fired simultaneously?

need help please

Yeah, the CSM is really good, but keep in mind it can be shot down by enemy Point Defense cannons...

You should be able to right-click a weapon on the components list once you select a mount for it and get the report - is it not working? You have to select the mount, then select the weapon, then plop it on the ship design - you can't change mounts of components that are already installed without first removing them. Also, last I checked if you have a level 1 mount and you want to upgrade it to a level 2 mount of the same weapon, the auto-upgrade button won't do it - you have to replace the weapon manually Sad Advancements of levels of weapon mounts simply increase the damage slightly more per level, something like 5 or 10 percent of the original, pre-mount damage.

Multiple missile launchers will indeed let you fire more missiles simultaneously. Actually they don't quite fire simultaneously, but it looks better to have a nice long line of missiles than just one missile on the screen at a time Sticking out tongue

Good Advice from Ekolis...

Submitted by Badger on Mon, 2007-01-29 11:27.

you can look up the effects of weapon mounts in the data foldre, component enhancement file,
BUT,
honestly, the best way to find out, like having multiple missile launchers,

is just to try it.

as to CSM, well,( hee hee hee)...

Might i direct you to...

Ok thanks. Will the weapons report screen show the effects of the weapon on the best mount available?

Also how do you refit satellites and weapons platforms?

The effects of the mounts do not show up on the weapons report screen (bottom right button on the build ship screen). It only lists the level 1 unmounted specs of the weapons, this is useless. How do you change it??

Also how do you refit satellites and weapons platforms?
