Ships & Modules

Dear CCP

There have been a few threads on this topic, and I guess we can assume that you are content with your new designs. But I appeal to you once again, some of the (Caldari) ships just look ridiculous. The Tengu doesn’t need 12 launchers, the Caracal doesn’t need 10, (Navy Caracal doesn’t need 12), Manticore doesn’t need 6, etc., etc.

I realize that for turrets, either projectiles, lasers, or hybrids, they need a direct line of sight. Launchers do not. The graphics you have designed for missiles (and rockets), all show that they get launched out away from the ship, and then they redirect to their targets. So, for example, the Tengu only needs six launchers. It doesn’t matter where the target is. Some missile flight paths show the missiles clearing the ship, and then going sideways to a target. I’ve even initial zig-zag paths.

I believe that you know what I mean, and now for the clincher. If for some reason, you feel that an equal number of launchers are needed to cover all areas of the sky, and that is why you put 12 launchers on the Tengu, how do you explain the Drake?

Sure the Drake looks cool with 7 launchers on each side, but what about directly below? . . .

. . . Do you see the logic?

CCP, I believe that you want realism. You want that realism to also obey the laws of physics. Retake a look at some of the launcher placements you have made, how do some of those things even get reloaded?

Please adjust some of the ships with launchers and eliminate some of the launchers that are not needed, look like they are out of place. Make the ship’s hulls look less cluttered.

Thanks
