Sure it is.

The only thing I don't like about the new missiles is that the new Heavies seem a bit.... meh.


The missiles and flares aren't as big as before, and they kind of make a small, ineffectual "pop" noise on impact, not the fufilling "BOOM" of the old missiles.

I dunno if this is new or i just didnt pay much attention to it, when the missiles fire it looks awesome, except just as they launch they jerk forward a bit then go on about their business.

Also whats with the graphics for when the missile actually hits a ship? Its like as if someone just has a bag of dust and throws it at the ships hull and "POOF" dust particles everywhere... I thought missiles make splosions!

I agree on the smoke trails, would prefer something like the spaceship engine trails myself but whatever. The new missile effects are a lot better than the old and give it enough time, I am sure CCP will reiterate on it.

I actually like them.

I'll find the rats in groups who shoot missiles and kill them last just so I can watch them longer.

Sorry to hear you disagree.
I did not like the strip miner change in the last expansion that made my strip miner look the same as all the other regular mining lasers. Since I don't mine anymore, I guess it's not that big a deal. Maybe you should try mining, they don't use missiles.

lol your in the minority on this one

the new missles look awesome, the launchers need work perhaps.

the fps hit is a bug they know about it and its limited to only some ati card lines

Keep the new missiles as they are, just add a corona of light like the old missiles had, right at the start of the smoke trail.
A blending of old and new.
I think that would make most people happy about the missiles.

Holy hell. People will ***** about anything. Enjoy the eye candy as your pretty missile transform other ships into fireworks and then space debris.

If you don't like it then go fly Amarr.

I don't know... I heard the whining, got out my Drake and did a mission... and liked the effects quite a bit. Especially the sound. That deep *crump* of the missiles hitting a target 55km off (I know, I know... sound doesn't carry in a vacuum... but the TIE fighter roar is still awesome) was cool. Seeing a swarm of seekers rather than a single glowing blob was also a big improvement.

Then again, I'm easily amused. I hated the plot of Avatar (Space Pocahontas), but liked the movie anyway.

Be careful in Pulsar systems, you might get Pod Flu.

I think this thread has proven that no, I am not in the minority on this one. But neither am I in the majority.

I agree that they might need to be a bit less smoky, but I still like them better than the incredibly boring old ones that came out of nowhere in the middle of the ship and looked like a single missile even with grouped launchers.

Less smoke, much brighter engine flame perhaps (disregarding the fact that neither smoke nor engine flames happen in space)?

They're definitely an improvement on the old missiles and the concept looks gobsmackingly good, although the propulsion system smokes so much the engines must be produced by some third world engineers in the arse end of nowhere.

Less smoke and more pounding on the outside of the hull with a sledgehammer sound effects needed please.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.
