Re: The Dragon: A Myth examined
Just thought I'd mention that the Interceptor and the Harpoon are essentially the same missile. Their homing characteristics are identical. The only difference between the two is that the Interceptor does more damage than the Harpoon.
But the homing capabilities overall in FS2 are far greater than in FS1.

       It also takes up half the space if I'm not mistaken.

The Interceptor takes almost as long as the Hornet to lock on and takes up much more space than the Harpoon

It does take up more space, but should take the same time as the Harpoon to lock on.

Snail is right though. If you're comparing the FSPort to FS2 then the Interceptor becomes more deadly than in fs1. However the Freespace 1 engine was not as advanced as Freespace 2.
