    • The missiles in EVO


      Is it just me or are the missiles and rockets in EVO really stupid looking?? They look so cheap. And to think EV came out before it. The missiles in that looked 50 times better. I'm talking about the outfit picts.

    • Well, EV is about a hundred years further into the future than EVO, so, missile technology would probably be better.

    • Use MAGMA. It makes replaces many graphics and sounds to ones that are 5x better.

    • Why are you complaning be luckey there are missiles in the game who cares how the outfit pictures look. All that realy matters is killing the person attacking you!

    • If you are speaking of the hunter and rocket pictures, you must realize they aare designed to do huge damage so they are huge and ugly to knock the snot out of an enemy shooting their bloody weapons, so who gives what a dumb 100 x 100 pixel picture looks like? Its the idea NOT the picture!

    • I wouldn't say they look that bad... you know?

      The simple rocket is a Voinian design, and they're meant to be simple, crude, depressingly effective missiles. The Hunter is based on the rocket, so it's bound to look similar.

      I do, however, see the point.

      The missiles in EV looked more interesting, they had loads of fins and fancy frilly bits. Perhaps they're all a little colourful. I mean, look at one of the new F/A-18 Super Hornets and take a look under the wings. they're all grey. Same with the Eurofighter Typhoon. And all the rest of them. I mean, if the stupid thing's sole purpose in life is to blow up, destroying itself, who cares what it looks like?

      But the simple fact is that it's not the looks that count.

      It's how many Voinians you can blow apart with them.

      Over and Out.

      I am not afraid.

    • I actually never use the bloody missiles anyway. Escort fighters and Neutron Turrets are the real things to use, if you have high shield rate and enough speed to do the Monty Python! The pictures look blocky but that doesnt matter cause compared to EV, the missiles go better and more realistic.. And if that really bother you, get the Magma plug....

    • I agree, the missiles and rockets in EVO look awful, but they sound awful aswell.
      Sure, it's before EV on the timescale, but the truth is that the guidance systems on the hunter missiles make them handle like the torpedoes from EV, but I don't think they do as much damage, to be honest. Quite frankly, even today's missiles are faster and more accurate, it's like missile technology took a step back.
      Not that it really bothers me, I rarely play EVO any more -it pales in comparison to the original (and better) EV.
      I'm not bothered about how the missiles look, or how they sound, but they perform terribly, and I hate them. The best weapon in EVO is the SAE modules - great little things, exceedingly dangerous.
