TopAce, nobody's requesting breaking existing missiles. Only the ability to be able to create new missiles that can accelerate after launch - for style.

This certainly looks possible and even simple.  I'd take a look at it, but school is getting in the way at the moment.

For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well.

This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Definable acceleration and a definable delay until it kicks in would be great for a weapon in Inferno...

I think it's an optical illusion, the trebuchet and the bombs are all quite slow. I think all missiles reach maximum speed within about 0.5 seconds of being launched, though I have direct experience other than memory to back that up. Because the bigger missiles are slower, the increase in their speed for that first 0.5 seconds is less than other missiles, so you look like you are overtaking it

I guess, what we are asking for is more control over this :)

no, I've fire a trebuchet sitting still to test this. the missile pops out, slows down to almost nothing for a fraction of a second, then accelerates to its regular speed.

Also try with rockeyes. The missiles (like the trebuchet) fly really slow until they 'locked' on their target. Then they'll accelerate to normal speed. Try firing an unlocked trebuchet and a locked one to see this effect.

Doesn't swarm missiles sorta do this? They wait for each other then fire off.
