Yes, we had the calculator method, but here's a fact the OP forgot to put into his post:

1) Open EFT
2) Import API
3) Fit ship
4) Look at optimal range
5) Press the "EASY" button from Staples.


Now, BEFORE EFT or some other sites that calculated it for you, it was pretty involved on the calculator.

Now newbie pilots will be murdering players with 100m skill points left and right because CCP is catering to the NEW players, when will this money driven madness end?

New Tool tips for missiles:

Previously required a stunningly simple twelve (12) step process, general understanding game mechanics, and a sense of familiarity with the UI. This procedure was EASILY explained in a forty-five (45) minute long E-UNI class, what is E-UNI going to do now teach them to boil eggs?

1) Open Ship fittings.
2) Right Click on module
3) Show info
4) Select Attributes Tab
5) Scroll down to stats
6) Open calculator
7) Copy index for Maximum flight time
8) Paste into calculator
9) Press multiply
10) Copy Flight Velocity
11) Paste into calculator
12) Press Enter

Half of the class will get it wrong and they'll become E-UNIches.

OP, why so mad?

I just turned into an egg, did I level up? I spent an hour trying to salvage a wreck, when in local a guy said "Stop it, this is my Tempest, I was AFK"

Missile range = missile velocity x flight time x 90%(for 100% effective range)

How hard can it be?Ugh

Well I'm lazy, I take the velocity x flight time for a round about range to start shooting at and work it out from there

Question

Even for you, your post is an extremely poor troll. Not even the sarcasm rescues it.

it's not as if it took acceleration into account so you can still murder the newbies at the edge of what they suppose to be their missile range

i just locked an open door.. strange, yet symbolically compelling.

Most of the time I'm just speed tanking in a 70KM circle anyway.

wel im sure if you talk to right people in ccp´s staff and convince them that you need hardcore mode for tis game, they will implement one just for you. Cool

Personally anything that helps new players have a little easyer learning curve of this game is positive since, more player == more targets to shoot.
