There was a heatseeker tornado thingie in at least one mod.

It broke the game something awful, but was very fun.

Rockeyes already have a functional range that is massively significantly higher than all but the stil and trebs >.>

[Dragon]

I'd like a better fire&forget heat-seeker too    Little bit faster, little bit more damage, at least the same maneuverability, and about average range.

Thunder from PI fills your description to the letter, with the exception of "little".

It was 2050m or something like that, right?

[QuantumDelta]

You can fire them lonnnnnnnnnng before that though depending on the speed and vector of the hostile ship ;p
But yea it's around 1.9 to 2.0 I don't remember the exact range.

[ChronoReverse]

Only problem with the Rockeye is how large they were for the tiny payload.  If they had the impact of an Harpoon imagine how broken they'd be

Anyway, a tractor beam like-weapon would be nice.  Something that would slow down the maneuverability of the target like in TIE Fighter.  Or perhaps an energy dampening missile with the same effect for a duration.

[Marcov]

I wouldn't sound st**id, but I do would want to see Kamikaze droids deployed from capital ships. They could carry of Helios missiles, and then once rammed to an enemy, would deal great damage. Just image how we could sacrifice the Ursa's shields, and room, and cockpit, to put in like 25 Helii; that would deal damage enough to crush an entire destroyer. And, that's just one. Imagine how many Ursas an Orion can carry 

Also, if the Terrans had the tech, I'd have a cluster torpedo debris which could automatically target the subsystems of a ship.

[Commander Zane]

Just imagine how easy it would be to thwart an Orion's plan to send said Ursa with 25 Helios warheads towards another Destroyer.
A slow brick with less sheilds? Now its survivability has dropped ten-thousand-fold.

But it's still fun to let it warp near the enemy ship and, whether it collides or gets vaporized by lasers, it still deals 150 000 damage 

[Qent]

A homing (primary) plasma torpedo-ish weapon. Long range, heat seeking, high power consumption.

Wouldn't the idea be, by stripping off auxillary systems, to make it significantly faster (or have a much better delta-V)?

[Dragon]

You need a more realistic flight model for acceleration to be important.
What really matters in FS is a top speed.

[Droid803]

Yeah, which is why I put it in brackets, being what would be important IRL, and what is important in FS.

[Colonol Dekker]

Weaponwise a novel effect would be for EMP weapons to invert controls or screw them up royally resulting in uncoordinated flight til the effect ceases.

[Goober5000]

I would like to see a Rockeye II. One that actually works.

Scroll of Atankharzim is using the Rockeye from the demo version of FS2 as the Rockeye II.  Half the cargo size, faster, and more powerful = win.

Will the Nahemas have turrets?

[Goober5000]

Yup.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Two turrets?

[gavilatius]

a long range rail gun system... that shoots a 2 foot rail at super sonic speeds and has a chance of going through and hitting the next guy... and you have to stop to aim it... because rail guns can take out almost anything from far away that moves slow.

or a black hole gun, or a giant emp device that can take out capital ships, or off screen artillery support (a small gate opens up and a barrage of missiles follow though decimating the foe that had a tracking beacom on its side, put there by a gtva fighter)

[General Battuta]

We've already got that working.
