after looking at EFT and http://eve.battleclinic.com/calculators.php#missile it looks like max skill light missiles cant hit an atron going 4000m/sec. this speed is quite reachable for an atron BEFORE fleet boosts. is this true? what am i missing? i was about to buy a bunch of hookbills for FW pvp but if this is true i need to look elsewhere.

Why would I need to go 4000 m/s when I can just fit three warp stabs and a cloak? Lol

On a serious note, does your hookbill not have a scram and/or web(s)?

if i'm shooting light missiles i want to stay out of scram and web range, rockets are for short range fighting

Don't use Battleclinic's calculators because they're a piece of crap (same for their fittings), use EFT instead. Light missiles will do some 60% of their base damage against a 4km/s MWDing Atron and yes that's easily attainable for that ship without any need for gang links or similar.

Give up now. Nothing can defeat the power of the Derptron.
