==Overview==
 +
Upon striking the target vehicle, NARC acts as a missile guidance beacon for 25 seconds. While the NARC missile itself does no damage, when successfully "stuck" to a target, the NARC will begin broadcasting; in-range friendly vehicles will receive a notification that a NARC is active, and any friendly guidable missiles will automatically home in on the beacon once they get within 1000 meters of the beacon, provided they were launched with active radar. NARC beacons will also override a TAG laser if both are active at once.

'''NARC''', or '''Narc Missile Beacon''', is a missile capable of lock out to 900m (though with limited maneuverability) but effective out to 1200 meters, upon striking a hostile vehicle, acts as a missile guidance beacon for 30 seconds. While the NARC itself does no damage, when successfully "stuck" to a target, the NARC will begin broadcasting; in-range friendly vehicles will receive a notification that a NARC is active, and any friendly [[dumbfire]]d missiles will automatically home in on the beacon once they close to within 1000m, provided they were launched with active radar. NARC missiles are very bulky, sharply limiting the number of extra NARC missiles a vehicle can carry. NARC beacons will also override a TAG laser if both are active at once; dumbfired missiles will seek the NARC. Missiles also will fly towards the beacon if passing over the NARC attraction area when fired from afar. This allows [[ArrowIV]] missiles to be fired from the other edge of the map, and hit the target when NARC is attached on their flight path.

 +
==Gameplay & Hints==
 +
NARC can be effective tool, but there are 2 major ways to fight them:
 +
 
 +
1. NARC beacons can not succesfuly broadcast from units under the protection of an [[AECM]] field, and every beacon fired at such a unit will seem not be able to activate. Already active beacons that come under the influence of a hostile [[AECM]] will deactivate and stop broadcasting until they leave the field again or their timer runs out.
 +
 
 +
2. Any EMP effect, like the one applied by [[PPC]]s of all sizes will remove NARCs, no matter where the PPC actually hits. With this it is possible to remove a NARC from a friendly unit by firing a PPC at the nearby wall; just hitting their foot however, won't help. The other source of EMP are critical fusion reactor explosions.

==Canon==
 +
Causing quite a stir when it was introduced in 2587, the Narc system offered a radically different way of improve missile target acquisition. The culmination of project TATTLETALE by the Terran Hegemony, the Narc launcher fires a short-range missile whose explosive warhead was replaced with a special Homing Pod mounted behind a magnetic head. These pods broadcast a wide-range electromagnetic beacon, one which can be tracked by SRMs and LRMs whose guidance systems have been modified to home in on the signal. The end result is vastly improved accuracy against targets marked with a Narc beacon.

[[Battle Armor]] can purchase throwable NARC beacons that operates as a normal NARC after attaching to a target, except that it lasts twice as long: 60 seconds. Up to 3 can be carried by a BA.

NARC Missile Beacon

NARC, or Narc Missile Beacon, is a missile homing beacon that guides friendly missiles to the target.

Overview

Upon striking the target vehicle, NARC acts as a missile guidance beacon for 25 seconds. While the NARC missile itself does no damage, when successfully "stuck" to a target, the NARC will begin broadcasting; in-range friendly vehicles will receive a notification that a NARC is active, and any friendly guidable missiles will automatically home in on the beacon once they get within 1000 meters of the beacon, provided they were launched with active radar. NARC beacons will also override a TAG laser if both are active at once.

NARC missiles are very bulky, sharply limiting the number of extra NARC missiles a vehicle can carry.

Gameplay & Hints

NARC can be effective tool, but there are 2 major ways to fight them:

1. NARC beacons can not succesfuly broadcast from units under the protection of an AECM field, and every beacon fired at such a unit will seem not be able to activate. Already active beacons that come under the influence of a hostile AECM will deactivate and stop broadcasting until they leave the field again or their timer runs out.

2. Any EMP effect, like the one applied by PPCs of all sizes will remove NARCs, no matter where the PPC actually hits. With this it is possible to remove a NARC from a friendly unit by firing a PPC at the nearby wall; just hitting their foot however, won't help. The other source of EMP are critical fusion reactor explosions.


Canon

Causing quite a stir when it was introduced in 2587, the Narc system offered a radically different way of improve missile target acquisition. The culmination of project TATTLETALE by the Terran Hegemony, the Narc launcher fires a short-range missile whose explosive warhead was replaced with a special Homing Pod mounted behind a magnetic head. These pods broadcast a wide-range electromagnetic beacon, one which can be tracked by SRMs and LRMs whose guidance systems have been modified to home in on the signal. The end result is vastly improved accuracy against targets marked with a Narc beacon.
