Mine is a simple question. Does artimes and streak missles compliment each other? In other words if I equip artimes and streaks will the missles strike the target in a tighter group?

Artemis has no effect on the streaks.

Might help a bit with lock-on time though if this is still valid:

Actually, artemis doesn't even apply to streaks. (evidenced by no change in ammo or tonnage and no addition of "artemis" to the weapon name) It only applies to the lrms and normal srms. ...Unfortunately

Since LRMs and Streaks use the same mechanics for lock-ons, and the Artemis upgrade shortens LRM lock-on time, it shortens Streak lock-on time as well. It's a glitch, PGI has known about it since at least some time in open beta, and there has been no intention to fix it.

Correct. Artemis will shorten the lock-on time for Streaks. Just remember that if you switch to another missile system, LRM or SRM, that Artemis will affect the tonnage and crit slots of the weapons.

Hmmm. Didn't know this! I still li ke streaks despite the fix to the srm hit registration. May have to add Artemis to a few mechs...
