Rapid Fire missile turrets

tenkari

I remember seeing these in one of the rom missions, shortly after you make the alliance choice. and to me they seemed different than the ferengi rapid fire missile launchers, mostly in the fact that i would see multiple missiles fire out of the turrets at the same time, meaning sometimes i'd see 4-6 missiles flying in a very tight formation (not possible with the player version unless using HY Torp attacks).


So i was thinking, maybe these could become a player style weapon, not replacing the ferengi missiles, but adding a similar effect for those who like the look.

of course it wouldn't be very strong, but replace the cooldown proc with like a 2.5% chance to unlease a HY Torp 2 style attack (3 missiles) and like a 1.0% chance to launch a Torp Spread 2 attack against other ships within a 45-90 degree cone around our main target. of course this turret wouldnt be able to be buffed by the BO skills, since they are innate to the launcher, but it wouldn't have the insta refire ability unless you got some purple projectile doffs.

note: they could also make it so that you cannot use it in conjunction with the ferengi missile, or make it unique so you cant have more than 1 of them.

call them like "romulan missile turrets" or something like that, give a levelless version thats bind on equip for the mission you first see them in use, then maybe a purple mk'd version in the cloaked intentions series.


Edit: i'm not asking for a device style turret, just a normal turret that fires these rapid fire missiles.

If I am remembering correctly then the device you mention is very similar (if not identical) to the console that comes with the adapted destroyer lockbox ship.

i'd like to see the missile turret made a consumable turret like the beam and torp turrets myself, maybe add some more turret types too maybe rep types like the omega cutting beam or rom plasma or refracting tetryon (those particular turrets added to the rep system as projects of course)...but off topic

i don't know as they'd add another missile launcher to the game since they already have the lobi store ferengi one, and as stated by packer the shrapnel torp is similar. Cryptic probably won't add more, but you never know

yes i know. but one could wish. i just thing a missile turret like this would give something unique to the game, a 360 shooting torpedo.
