The seek doesn't make sense anymore, it was included in the game probably for fun in that a smart captian could fly his ship past an enemy and get the seeker to target him. But no navy, with hi tech weaponry is going to use a deadly weapon that could accidently attack his own ships.<br /><br />Found the following in the old list serve archive:<br /><br /><br />
The Guided Missile Frigate
<br /><br />I really like this concept, and it fits in very well with a picture of a
huge dreadnaught-type ship that is in the KH Campaign book. It shows a
missile-tube type of launcher, but no real connection to anything from
pre-SWII. I always figured it was created during the war (it might not
have seen any action), and that the single-tube launchers on it could very
well be an earlier version of your dual launchers.<br /><br /> Here are the stats as one would find them in KH: <br />Frigate, Guided Missile: HP 40 ADF 4 MR 3 DCR 70 Weapons: LC GMLx4 LB Tx2 Defenses: RH MSx2 ICMx4
<br /><br />The only problem I have with this is that the GML takes up much more space
than the RB that it replaces. Plus, they are much more powerfull. This is
how I would make the stats (still more than powerful enough, given the
fact they can reload with multiple types of missiles):
<br /><br />Frigate, Guided Missile: HP 40 ADF 3 MR 3 DCR 70
Weapons: LC GMLx4 LB
Defenses: RH ICMx8
