No ASF NARCs? Hmm... Probably a good idea but Thunderbolts would be quite useless that way. It's not a fire-and-forget missile, it's range and homing are both crap, so opportunistic fire would be almost impossible with it.

The missile speed and blast radius could be increased a little to make it a bit better as a fire and forget weapon. Of course it should still be able to home on narcs that other players fire, so dumbfiring it would be a sort of backup option if nobody is narcing. I'd increase the turning speed too so it actually homes a bit better.

Thunderbolt should be identical in turning and travel speeds to the LRM (it's just one big LRM after all), if it is identical,  and the ASF are still having trouble hitting with them,  then increasing their turning ability would be fair.

I quit playing because I suck.  (more noticeable with smaller number of players right now)

Yea I'm having a bit of update withdrawl myself... I'm still playing here and there, but the sooner 0.4.0 comes the better. I guess we have the playtest to keep us a bit occupied. Hopefully one will be here this week too, or maybe the update itself. But that's just me being speculatively optimistic.  ;D

 Personally I'd prefer to see TBolt as a mostly unguided missile, with better speed and considerable splash damage. NARC homing should stay limited IMO, making TBolt more distinctive weapon.

I still don't get why people hate Shivas so much, even the ELRM one isn't THAT bad most of the time.

When I see a Shiva I think "free points for AA!" when I see a Sulla I think "Oh great unkillable dick head inbound..."

I should probably point out that by CBT standards, even if the ELRM Shiva is overweight, it wouldn't be able to fire all of those missiles without seriously overheating itself.

Once again, we run into a serious lack of consequence for overheating.

As far as NARCs go, most assets are too slow and too limited in their battlefield awareness to eliminate the presence of a long-distance NARCer.  Give them a drop off at some point would be nice.
Thanks for the view.

 I usually have no problems with flying without crashing, I can even land. But that's pretty much all I can do with air assets. When it comes to actually dealing damage to the enemy, I suck spectacularly. ;D

The wiki has damage types and values, you'll find gauss (heavy kinetic) has a low modifier against air assets. LBX on the other hand...
