I find it very agonizing that we only get 20 of them and I feel that it should be available via NPC reward. We could possibly create a new rare NPC that is available at rank 160 and this NPC will drop the Crimson Cluster Missile and since the NPC will be rare, people won't have an excess of them so they still have to be wise on how they use them.

Please take this in to consideration, Dan

Well, we can make a variety of getto versions. For starters, something like this would be pretty balanced overall:
Crimson Shock Missile(A missile that send a shockwave through the planet, causing massive harm to any unstable newly found colony structures)
Works just as a CCM, but ONLY on planet that have been conquered in the last 24 hours.
In other words, not something u would use to "attack" a planet, but only to get back planets.

And then there are a couple other choices:

Crimson Charge Missile (A Crimson missile using new kenetic force technology. But the shock from firing one such missile is so strong that it distablize the ship itself, making it unable to be used consectively)
Works just as CCM, but have a 24 hours cd after each use. So one person can't spam the heck out of it(more like a sab)

Crimson Irradiated Missile (A powerful Crimson missile using a alternative form of fuel. Unfortunately, it leaves traces of radiation that affect the attacker as well)
Works just as CCM, but add a +5%+50 atk, +5%+50 def buff to the planet after every use for 48 hours, stackable. Cannot be used if there are less than 2 destroyable strutures left. When a planet is successfully invaded while this buff is on it, all of this buff is removed and for each removed, there is a 20% chance to random lower one type of production by 1

Prototype Crimson Cluster Missile-MP (an attempt at mass production of Crimson Cluster Missile after studying the technology behind it, but it appears it didn't work out so well)
40% chance to destroy 1 normal structure, 50% chance to disable your own ship. 10% chance to lose 1-5 crews. When disabled by this effect, 50% to damage 1 random module, 30% to damage 3 random module 10% to break one random module 5% chance to break 3 random module, 3% chancce to break 10 random module, 1.9% chance to break all modules, 0.1% chance to destroy(permanent remove) one random modules(include GP, mission-limited etc)

Some interesting ideas here. Especially the first one that gives you options on getting back at bricked planets that were just stolen from you. The last one, the Prototype also seems interesting. However, too many different "chance" effects. Perhaps simplify it down a bit?

Te make a CCM that can be farmed is too powerful an it would be power te the powerful, not te other way around... Ye see, Pirates o te Cove, Dysonians, Knights o Ni, te Anarchonists... all of these folks'd jus go farmin NPCs even more than most, an we'll all be fluxjackin each other an everyone else even more'n we arr already. D'ye think that's really a good thing? Do ye really?

Mission Chain- CCM Production Module Researched (added to The Crimson Cluster Project chain)
200energy 50 x1 completion


Mission reward- Ship module, CCM production Pod
Space 30
Automated Ability- Produces 1 CCM every 14 days (consumes 1 CM every day, production stops if inventory is 0)

I had / have 2 thoughts that i would like input on for this

1. energy & Space... should the cost be lower so anyone can build it ? or higher to make it more difficult to achieve?

2. Time... is 26 a year to many?
