Anti Capship Seekers
Charge Cannon(ish) missile/seeker
Small port version (Plasma Missile)
Mass: 1500kg
Capacity: 2 Plasma Missiles
Speed: 30m/s Maneuvering 120m/s Turbo
Proximity: 150m
Bolt Velocity: 130m/s
Damage: up to 15000
Energy: ~100/s up to ~300 energy
Large port version (Positron Missile)
Mass: 2400kg
Capacity: 4 Positron Missiles
Speed: 50m/s Maneuvering 180m/s Turbo
Proximity: 250m
Bolt Velocity: 190m/s
Damage: 25000
Energy: 150 (instant)
In flight the missiles would act more like an aerna seeker than a missile. After launch they'd be travel at a relatively low speed while they brought the target into their sights. Once lined up for their suicide run they'd go to their turbo speed during which they would be incapable of direction changes. If the target maneuvers out of the way then the missile could drop from turbo realign then reengage turbo.
Could also have some eye candy
Swarm-like trail when in turbo
Bright flash at detonation
Energy bolt could also have a trail (like the ones the devastators had for a few days)

Had a little trouble with the HAC in B-8, did we?
Well now that I think about it this kind of missile would prolly be better for cap ship use. Then capships wont have to ram each other to enter weapons range.
I think it would be cool but maybe limit it too larger ships...rags, maruaders, centuars...etc...etc...and make it unable to target ships smaller than caps.
Proximity 250m? Also splash radius?
Wow... Just imagine firing a positron missile in the middle of a NW furball. BLAM!!! 25000 damage to the promjocks in the middle and the zipping valkjocks around them.
Hogs would pwn NWs :)

There is no splash, when it detonates it would fire a blob of positron at its target from ~250m. If a prom managed to get hit by it then the pilot probably deserved it for not paying attention. This kind of missile wouldn't be very effective on anything smaller than a trident due to the flight time of the bolt.
How about it only being a large port version which takes up 2 ports?
It can be balanced after devs finish new powercell system
looks like the devlon to me, save the nuke effect
