How long is the Alien Missile Acid effect?

[tsavo]

Well, it looks green, so I guess it is acid, not know much about Alien tech,^_^
That is the most horrible weapon ever seen so far,
just wondering how long will the effect last?

[Killer]

Yup, it is a corrosive acid. But I have not measured the time. But it seems to me that it lasts longer than in SW1.

[tsavo]

sw1 and 2 are alien to me too

That weapon is just plain vicious. One interesting fact I found out is that if your pilot has the Alien perk, they are immune to the acid effect.

but how can u found out that one?
we have more alien comming later?

next time, i'll bring a G4 laser defence to see if that one will work.

I messed around with perks and stuff.

Laser defense? Probably not, you need missile defense.

[tsavo]

well, i mean
active missile defence, which uses laser beam to K.O. incoming missiles

[Nanaki]

Well, it can be confusing considering there are actually anti-laser fields in the game.

[tsavo]

so let's call them anit-laser-shield and anit-missile-laser

by the way, dose not anit-laser-shield protect armor as well?

[Nanaki]

Anti-laser fields reduce the damage of all incoming laser weapons (Progenitor beams, particle accellerators, lasers, and pulse lasers) by the percentage shown. Kinda OP, really, considering they go all the way up to 90%, which renders even the powerful progenitor cannon kinda weak.

My guess is that the anti-laser fields were designed to stop people from whoring lasers, as was the obvious thing to do in Star Wolves 1 and 2.
