It just occurd to me that the tribes 2 RL was unique to MEd and Heavy -- I guess I forgot seeing as how much it sucked ass as a weapon.
You know what might be cool as far as an AA weapon goes? A RL but laser guided -- like in half life. Maybe not as percise (a losser track, along the lines of mouse lag), but if you're looking for anti god-vehicle wepons I'd rather something like this than a homming weapon.
Also along the same idea but more net code friendly, you know how some game have the double jump? Well I don't think this has really been used much in a weapon before, but first shot you fire your weapon, the projectile lunches and then you have a 1-5 second window to adjust the shot direction(not compleatly change, but you can set it up for an arc). So the steeper your second press of the fire button is from the first (basically you don't fire anything, but guide your shot) the more your projectile will arc in that dirction.
Anyone understand what I'm saying? It might be hard the way I'm describing it. Let's say you fire a shot strait forward. Now during the adjustment phase you aim all the way down at the ground. The projectile will change direction to the reletive reticle arc. It won't factor in how far it's traveled from you, but anything to your left, right, up, and down will effect its direction (so no boomerang effect).
