@CCP: question regarding T2 missile penalties

Hi,

a while ago penalty of T2 turret ammo was removed/reduced. But what about missiles? I'm not completely sure but wasn't this issue discussed or even announced back then?

IMHO those penalties are counter-intuitive. I use T2 damage missiles (Fury/Rage) against larger ships but then my sig gets increased so I can be hit better by my intended targets! Same with T2 range and precision missiles (Javelin/Precision). I want to use them against smaller and/or faster opponents but I get a massive speed penalty, so I'm not able to kite or chase those small/fast targets. This forces me into a more or less pure defensive role. Why?

Are there any plans to change this? If so, when? Thanks for any hint!

Fury missiles still increase the size of your ships arse the way that copious amounts of junk food increases the size of your arse in real life.

I use fury missiles in a Drake to run level 4's and they do increase your sig radius, you can however offset the fat arse syndrome by speed tanking.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I know, it's ridiculous, but nearly 400 m/s seems to dissipate a fair bit of damage, especially when your rat specific resists are nighs dammit 90%

Bump. CCP devs, any news about this? Is it true what was posted here, removal of T2 missile penalties is cancelled?
