Player Features and Ideas Discussion

@bouh: My example was more specifically geared towards if I were to engage another cruiser and it calls its friends, or perhaps I am doing a fw plax and am having to shoot rats. If I were just using the caracal to shoot lightly tanked or untanked tackle and warp out the new rlms would be far too good at this, giving the opponents much less response time. This again turns it into a 1 trick pony where in the majority of situation the omen or thorax will be flat out better.

Even a powergrid increase for rlm that would force the caracal to reduce its tank to a similar level of the omen or thorax would be much better because then it will be able to deal with a changing situation and adapt via being able to swap ammo easily.

As far as the thorax and omen having tracking issues, standard drop fixes this issue very easily for the omen. You need standard drop and a defensive web for a rail thorax to deal with tackle well if it lands on you. Both of these ships can easily handle tackle at range and unlike the new rlms, they are gaurenteed to atleast be able to shoot at it (barring the enemy gang using various ewar) every single time.

Yah.... How about, you are wrong.

Nomen, Zealot, Rail diemos, Rail thorax, Rail Exq Navy, Oracle, Cynabal, Omen, Ishtar, Navy Vexor
All of those ships destroy light tackle.

Wouldn't keeping the the rapid light missile launchers capacity and reload time the same but a flat 10-20% nerf in ROF coupled with an in increase of say 25-35% or so overheated rate of fire balance out better. As well as a tweaked structure hitpoint and heat damage per a cycle to give the desired 50 second burst feature work out better? This would eliminate the downtime from reloading but give the desired burst damage without substantially changing the rapid light missile system. I'm sure my %'s aren't spot on but could be adjusted to better suit the idea.
Any comments on the idea?

Of course you will never want to engage another cruiser with these things which is the entire point of these changes. Never mind that turret cruisers aren't forced to make a definitive choice like that, and are more than capable of being fitted for fighting cruisers and frigates at the same time.

Blobs, sure. But solo - they're finished with the new warp speed mechanics.

Seems CCP only wants blobs to be honest.

True, but that's at least one that counts - and it's still better than zero bonuses on the Navy Raven. Yes, Ravens are already rock L4s - I meant they're going to be even better now. Same effective DPS as cruise with more explosion velocity and less than half the explosion radius of cruise missiles. Three hydraulic rigs will push these to almost 100km, which is more than enough for any L4. Officer RHML versions should have a nice ammunition supply (something not available to RLMLs).

"I'm not just ignoring negative feedback but I'm ignoring negative feedback because it's not presented how *I* want it to be."

This is silly and just wordplay on your part. You're intelligent enough to understand why this is a terrible argument.

We all know that you've got your pride wrapped into your project- it's fair enough to do so, but not at the cost of you choosing to ignore the negative feedback in such a juvenile manner.

Based on his purely dismissive responses in this thread I think it's rather obvious you are wasting your time with the whole "you are better than that" approach.

And fofs.
