== Summary ==

Precision [[Missiles|Missiles]] are weapon systems that are designed to give the skilled missile user a weapon capable of dealing with fast or small targets that would normally exceed high power [[Missiles|missiles]] ability to engage. They attempt to perform this task while giving up firepower, range, and ship velocity.<br/>
<br/>
In their current incarnation, precision lights are the only system capable of achieving this goal. Precision Heavy [[Missiles|Missiles]] are in every way worse to Precision Cruise [[Missiles|Missiles]], and both Precision Heavy and Precision Cruise are inadequate to engage fast moving targets.<br/>
<br/>
While a buff to Precision [[Missiles|Missiles]] on the whole would be nice (not to mention all [[T2|T2]] ammo), I believe that to be beyond the feasible range of short term implementation. In the case of [[T2|T2]] heavy [[Missiles|missiles]], we are dealing with a bug, and it is high time it is fixed.<br/>
<br/>
The Precision Heavy is slower for no reason, has a meaningless 33% explosion velocity improvement (compared to the 100% improvement to explosion velocity of Precision Cruise over base), a heavy velocity penalty, and dramatically shorter range. Precision Cruise are in every way superior for shooting nano-HACs than a Precision Heavy. This is the equivalent of Battleship long range turrets having superior tracking, range, and damage of cruiser class counterparts.
