CCP seems to have lost direction. Missiles are supposed to be low alpha, low dps, and easily destroyed. The trade off is always hits for partial damage and zero cap cost.

Autocannons are supposed to be high damage medium range and zero cap cost for the trade off of higher ISK cost.

People have YEARS of SP invested in ACs, they must remain the clear dominant system or people will simply quit the game.

If CCP wants to increase DPS it should be paper only, allowing full damage with multiple target painters. This would make the rocketnoobs happy without shifting the status quo.

Rifter = BiS frigate
Rupture = BiS cruiser
Hurricane = BiS battlecruiser
Tempest = BiS battleship

Commonality? Autocannons. We are the majority, think long and hard about the future of EVE before destroying the game, that is all we ask.

Now with 100% less Troll.

So your argument is AC is better then anything else, people train AC for that reason, this people will be mad if AC isn't the best anymore?

Oh boy ... that be like CCP actually tries to balance things. They MUST be stopped.

um rockets are more than under powered.

And they are lowering small missle damage by 10%. they are bring them inline. Deal with it.

Someone mentioned rocket drakes looking like amazing missile spam.

Anyone got a link to a video of that? I don't have a drake, rockets and 7rocket launchers handy.

The moment you add that into your argument, you immediately invalidate it.

I think is a stealth "boost gallente" whine. Or maybe a "lazers are overpowered" stealth troll... but I can't tell for sure.

You went full Minmatard. Never go full Minmatard.

On topic I see you got bored of your "no longer allowed to troll" personality, and went back to your "how much rubbish can I post before I get banned" personality. Always be who you are Tom.
