EVE General Discussion

They couldn't make TDs work on missiles. They don't have a tracking modifier.

Once the TD effect is applied to missiles they will be in essence what they were made after the nano nerf that changed missiles. Any old timer knows that missiles before that were viewed as OP and Torp Raven fleets were the flavor of the day.

Now missiles are nothing more than glorified artillery with launch times and no damage multipliers on the launcher.

That said, that is the answer as well. A Missile launcher should have a T2 multiplier of 1.8 and a T1 base should have a 1.4 multiplier. Short range, missiles aren't so bad. Long range, they are useless. That is an issue in the ships though because the Bomber Torp bonus is 20% velocity on the frigate bonus meaning you have default 200% velocity to your Torp. That needs to be default for a Raven and Golem too.

Ive wondered this myself seems if they worked it so missiles COULD miss its settle a lotta qq


and why do Torps have that HUGE explosion effect when theyre not AOE? that explosion certainly looks AOE lol

It is a bit obnoxious. If it has that big of an effect, why doesn't the blast wave cause damage?


It has a lol factor though, like doing plex's and my Tengu gets hit with a torp - for 5 damage

Because there used to be AOE splash damage on torps. They just didn't change the effect when they took the aoe away. It wasn't much damage really.

Devs have responded that missiles will be brought in line with other weapon systems, meaning that missile range and damage will be nerfed across the board.

They simply do too much damage with unnatural accuracy at too long ranges, so this nerf is balanced.

I think missiles should be made much much faster (and have their flight time reduced to give same distance)....

I think this would also reduce lag a little as they will be in space for less time :)

HAMs don't have enough DPS to justify the short range compared to HMLs
Torpedoes need a boost, they should be able to hit web'd non-AB'ing battleships for near full damage, but they don't
6th launcher for the cerb/sac?
Remove defender missiles + skill, reimburse the sp

Hmm or at least let them choose their own targets if their original target is taken out, kind of like real-world antiship missiles and especially torpedoes, whereas if the torp loses its target it has its own onboard scanner and looks for a target in range as it continues on its original trajectory. If it finds a target in its own scanner range it attempts to acquire and go after that target, and if it does not find a target it self-destructs at maximum range.

so if the primary target is destroyed, then all of his nearby buddies could now be in danger.

dunna if that can be done, tho.

Cruise missiles are particularly sucky, for one thing.
