A question about Missile speed

[daladim]

Hey, just a quick question. I hope somebody can help me here, What I need is to modify the speed of certain missiles, so that they will be more effective. Yet, I am not sure where exactly to look for the code that needs to be changed.

I would guess that it is under the [motor] section found withing the Weapon_equip.ini file, but like I said, I am not sure. What I want to do is modify the speed of missiles such as the Javelin. I would like to see them hit a bit later than missiles like the Eraser, in order to make such a load out more effective. As it is right now, the mod i am using has the speed for each missile set to be identical, causing the Javelin missile to be ineffective upon hit, due to the shield still being in place to block the hull damage.

So, what I need to know is, which line do I need to modify, and how exactly do I determine what to set the modifier too?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd certainly go with the motor time or acceleration settings to speed things up or slow them down. The settings speak for themselves, higher the lifetime, longer it stays live

Find the following in weapon_equip.ini under your Javelin Missile nickname uner the [Motor] section:
accel and replace it with the speed you want
