For the last 2 expansions, we got missile changes, overral making them better.

But what about Torpedoes?
I want to use my old Golem with torps,but having 30 km range with max skills and range rigs, is preety lame.
At least give some bonus atribute on golem for torp range

Look at this thread on the torpedo issue. It has a dev post and is on the front page.

Also, Golem not having a range bonus what?
That Seems Legit

My golem has around 70k range with javelins, maybe you're doing it wrong.

With Javelins and Lvl 5 skills, the furthest you can hit anything is 65KM. So not 70KM at all. Also, Javelin DPS is crap. 838 DPS from a Marauder that takes like 100 years to train in to is awful. The T2 Rage Torps should go that far FFS.

You can barely fit a navy vexor but your golem can shoot to 70 km... wierd.

Use range extending riggings for them....

Also, torp range is fine imo. Using the long range ammo on a short range weapons system is scaled similar to pulse lasers using scorch ammo; which on an Abaddon, have a 64km optimal while using 3 optimal range scripted TCs at all 5 skills. IMO, the range is fine on torps. Its the explosion velocity, radius and *maybe* damage that needs adjusted.

And no, I didnt feel like commenting in the other thread =P

However, that's not the problem. The problem is that Fury Cruise Missiles do 90% of the damage of short range CN torps out to 166km. With similar explosion velocity and radius numbers. So unless you really need that 10% and/or can make practical use of Rage torps and can do so at short range, then yes, torpedo ranges are fine.

Numbers posted in the other thread.

Are you a noob? 65KM is with range extending rigs. And Torp range is crap - it isn't arguable.

You're wrong as well. People need to accept that Rage should do at least 65KM. Javelins out to 80KM. That is acceptable range.

I was being sarcastic, however my verbiage wasn't adequate to the task.
