CCP nice work on making turrets nicers and now the missing hit animations...

Is there any news on when missiles gfx/anims will be worked on? Personally i think these would look far more amazing if they got the same love as turrets have..

btw i am not expecting anything like this for winter, just be nice to know

If CCP managed to actually make missile turrets on par with the projectile/laser turrets it allready implemented and then updates its gunnery graphics with the planned new planned shooting effects it wants to implement on top what it has been releasing these last few weeks I think we can all sub for a year.

And slap CCP for not doing all this sooner.

I primarily use launchers now since hybrids have always sucked, would love to see new turrets.

CCP stated the difficult reasons and its not on any burner at the moment, HOWEVER it seems to be on thier mind which is why we may never see the new crow. So no dont expect it at all for this expansion.

This would require gutting alot of ships with built in launchers though. Then toying with phsyics.

i wish torpedos had a bit more range

even in a raven torps struggle to hit beyond 35km

what ever happened to the inertia? it should still keep moving but after all the fuel ran out it would lose it's ability to alter course. but if it was pointed toward a big stationary object such as a pos or i-hub it should still hit it even if it was launched 100km out

Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless you are from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs.

The only thing I would ask CCP about missiles, is missile explosions.

They all look awfull (Except the citadel missiles).

Look at a torpodoe's explosion. I'm sorry, but it looks like it comes from 2002. Not kidding. 2D, lowres circle thing growing and disappearing suddently ? Come on.

Other missiles are barely ok because we don't usually look at missiles exploding on our shield/armor, and because they have a small explosion.

I doubt it would take much time to redo some of the missile explosion effects, but it would remove the "Oh is that a space donut there ? Oh, no, just a 20KT Kinetic warhead exploding".

"Missile turrets" would be a nice thing, but there are easier things to implement first.

So want missile turrets.

You lose a bit of immersion with missiles just coming from outside your ship with no clue as to where they came from.

I mean look at the raven ? where do the missiles launch from.

For an example the Drake skin looks good as it seems to have missile launch points built into the model (even if the missiles don't appear from them).

Please give missiles some love

They already gutted the launchers from the current crow on SiSi.

Its been on their mind for the last 8 years, don't want to wait another 8 to see if we get anything.

They used to, they got nerfed, because people had massive dps at long range.

I agree on the explosion effects, they are very dated now, its like putting on your brand new suit with old non polished grubby shoes...
