Overview
This .oxp was written back in 2007. It introduces 5 new missiles and renames the older two.
Detail
...I'd like the "Faulcon de Lacy HM3" as the average missile , unmodified , with its aggressiveness representing 0.5 and available at most systems, but have other options of HM/Homing Missiles according to the system's tech level. (for HMs, I mean - there is the more exotic equipment from Ramirez's Missiles and Bombs OXP, which is quite different). E.g.: a "Taranis EX5 MRSSM" missile with a state-of-the-art guidance system and high explosive yield would be available on the highest tech level systems, or crazy stuff such as a Benulobiweed Tailchaser 2.5 Guided Missile" with a maximum speed of 2.5LM and high aggressiveness but a pitch of only 1.5; the midranges should be variations on the basic HM3; and in crummy anarchies it shouldn't be possible to find but worthless crap (except, perhaps, on some seedy black markets - but then again, you should be able to find anything there).

- The first practicable result of Benulobiweed Inc.'s foray into weaponmaking is in this faaaasst ECM-hardened interceptor missile.
Taranis ECMR2 MRHSSM

Note
- Maegil seems to have erred. He wrote "2" for the standard missile (FdL HM3) TL in his .oxp which in-game results in a TL of 3
- This was written in 2007 and is in Legacy Scripting. This oxp was rescued from oblivion by LittleBear: see here. The vanilla game script had just been altered to allow oxp's to override missile definitions.
