how come when i was a riot on the news do the new reporters say "the rioters threw missiles into the police crowd" they are talking about very much unguided rocks?


Either something was missed in translation or they just said the wrong word. Unless the rioters say, took an AIM-9 Sidewinder off a jet and threw it into the crowd, they don't throw "missiles."

Because unguided missiles are mainly for shooting things the same size as your ship or larger.

Oh, and I believe HAMs will soon do a lot more damage than HMLs, since the latter will lose 20% of their dps.


Blasph... Sacrilege!!!

Yes because nerfing the heck out of 1 weapon type and leaving its crap tastic cousin to take its place when they suck hardcore is surely the way to do it..

I hope you all at CCP plan on buffing HAMS alot, because in general they do suck and as for the huge nerf to heavy missiles.. You just made the Cerb even more useless. With hams it already did crap dps, now it will do 20% less.. Brilliant..

Do you all get off on making caldari crap for pvp? Aside from the drake and sometimes Tengu, caldari ships are pretty rare in pvp.
Eagle,Cerb, are horrid. Harpy is nice and hawk isnt bad but why fly those when you can fly and enyo or Vengeance.

Which are both better.

Falcon is niche use and only used to a small degree. Rook..yeah....

Raven? I cant remember when i last saw ravens in pvp.. Torps are lacking and cruise missiles are so laughable.

So now you hit the only caldari ships used in numbers and the tengu in limited number..

Oh and with the caracal buff, can you please buff the Cerb? Its seriously the one ship I wish was actually usable in pvp, but sniping in a missile boat? Thats a joke and with hams... you have to have the target webbed and painted to make them even apply decent dps... So please buff its PG and CP, and add a 6th launcher slot please. Drop the utility high for it.

(insert slowpoke meme here) did you hear that theyre going to allow tracking enhancers to affect missiles now?

That being said, the entire point of the thread is that HAMs and HMLs should have the same explosion radius and explosion velocity because their damage isnt dependent on transversal and therefore isnt affected by range.
