If you think they don't work pretty well, then you're obviously not using them to their strengths, like wiping a bunch of frigs out with a RLML boat, then getting out when you enter reload/before you're tackled.

But since you obviously think your opinion is the only valid one, I'll just leave it at that.

Saw this in other thread, loved it.

Replace 50% missile velocity bonus with 100% damage bonus to crusie missiles, torpedos, and rapid heavy missiles. Would be so awesome. Even a 50% damage bonus would be awesome.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

When you link the kill mails to establish this, we'll all be in awe. Until then, I'll direct you to the two RLML threads where the general consensus (not just mine) is anything but.

no no no, no changing guristas ships. You make a whole new damn set of faction ships.

We have
Caldari/Amarr (Sansha)
Caldari/Gallente (Guristas)
Amarr/Gallente (SOE)
Amarr/Minmatar (Blood Raiders)
Minmatar/Gallente (Serpentis)
Minmatar/Gallente AGAIN (Angel)

Caldari only has 2. You know what that means:

Caldari/Minmatar (Mordu's Legion)

Web range bonus. Missile bonus. (I swear to god if you give it an ECM bonus or a TP bonus.)


^
mordu legion ship, either completely new ships, or minmatar ship models.

could also give the opportunity to usher in pirate faction battlecruisers, although i could just be getting ahead of myself.

I'm not going to delve into some e-peen KM battle. We have different opinions on the rapid launcher line. That's that.

please note that Rapid light missile launchers and rapid heavy missile launchers are being fixed. they are gaining double the "ammo clip" size, and having a 5 second reduction in reload time, making the reload time 35 seconds.

The reload time is 35 seconds. And what is this double "ammo clip" size you speak of?
