Match their speed, fly in the same direction they do. Bling, no tracking problems.

This is easier said than done, by the way.

And dont approach to 0. Approach to within Optimal and stay at the upper limit of your optimal. The closer you get, the higher the influence of even the tiniest movement on your tracking.

thanks guys for reponding back, Ok then why on youtube I saw my ship blasting guys at under 3k range with the same low power parts and he was just staying still , my optimal is 8000k. Also I did a test and added 4 Tracking Enhancers 2s and I was able to hit my target at under 3k range I still dont understand, sorry for making this hard on you

yep, sharpshooter and trajectory analysis effect optimal and falloff. Motion prediction is the one that effects tracking.

Sorry OP for hijacking your thread. I have a noob question. Difference between T2 and T1 weapons is T2 ammo ?

If you have in your hands the key to the fulfillment of your life's ambition and superiority over most, if you are aware that there is an absolute power on hand (just over the basic moral principles) how far are you willing to go and through what you are willing to tread?

The Skill required for T2 guns also gives them and only them additional damage.

You may also want to swap out for a webber to slow targets down inside of 10km, it will help out a great deal. Webbing drones can help with that too, but you might want DPS drones.

Tracking can be helped with Computers/Enhancers, but slowing the other ship you're trying to pummel to a crawl helps out as well.

Damn. That's gonna be a long 2 months. Patients is a virtue. Thank you all for answers.

Switch to a megathron, it gets a tracking bonus which helps. Rokh is possibly the worst BS to mission in... sadly Cry

lol blasters on a rokh. Silly people. Roll

Whether or not you win the game matters not.  It's if you bought it.

Last year is that way ->

Blasters actually work pretty well on a Rokh now.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.
