CIG - Ship Missile Concept Art

 You can select different missiles using the F1 and F2 HUD menus!

So I've been frustrated lately flying both Gladius and Gladiator, which both have mixed missile loadouts by default. I would want to save the big S3 or S5 missiles for the Glaives (a S2 tempest isnt enough for a one shot KO) but they always seemed to fire first and overkill a Scavenger. There has to be a better way!
And there is!
The F1 "Overview" menu: This is the most consistent way to choose what missiles are active, just unpower the racks carrying the missiles you don't want to fire. If you have two different missiles on a double or quad rack, its still unpredictable which will fire.
The F2 "Weapons" menu: I got this to work only once, but it looks like you can designate a firing priority by selecting the missile by clicking on it in the HUD. A little blue number will show up above the current stock of that missile type, and this indicates how many of these missiles will try to lock the next time you hit the missile lock key/button.
The downside to this menu is that I couldn't always get it to select missiles (since they cant be assigned to groups?) and I never found a way to de-select missiles, or reduce the little blue number count.
Conclusion: Group different missiles on their own racks so they can easily be disabled and saved for later! (until CIG adds a missile select keybind)

I haven't seen this thread before. You are awesome @VoA! You are my primary source for all these great pictures and great information. I don't get around the internet enough these days, it seems.

Nice! I really like this idea. I dont think it should be on every missile but I definitely like it. It would be nice to see different missile companies using different color smoke, or even having different patterns of smoke trails.

The clear sky torps are smaller than the P52? I thought they would be larger. Still want to see one of the hit an Aurora like one of those bullet through fruit videos.

Ha!  I was just gonna link that vid but you beat me to it ><  I didn't realize there is LOS missile guidance before this.  No wonder my CM's didn't work :-)

Below are the changes that have been made to missiles between 2.2.3 and 2.3.0c

I'm sure there's a few people out there interested, and it helped me spot that the Gladiator S5 missiles may be a good PTU testing candidate.
