Good luck getting a 0-5k drop on something that can fly over 3k m/s. Quite impossible tbh

Awww man. Why did you have to go and Prime yourself? This is EXACTLY what happened in the Loot Bukkake thread. I just hope you don't get invited to expand your resume along with him - we like you! This is a terrible idea btw.

Modules, rigs, and ship bonuses on new vessels geared towards decreasing reload time would be highly interesting. It wouldn't surprise me to see some in the near future.

By the way RoF bonuses will still be the better bonus.

And yet, as we have seen, in a 5 vs 5 engagement the new system will definitively beat the other group... go figure.

A 50% bonus to damage provides 50% more DPS.
A 50% bonus to RoF provides 100% more DPS.

Also, in this context your damage is concentrated in a much shorter time frame, allowing less time for local or remote reps to save the target before destruction. The main advantage of burst damage is to do as much damage as quickly as possible, to overwhelm the ships defenses and kill it before it has a chance to repair (or be repaired).

Furthermore, a RoF bonus also gets you started on that pesky reload timer more quickly, allowing you to get past it and ultimately get more volleys in over the long run.

What does any of that have to do with a 5v5 fight between RLML Cerbs and other anti-frig HACs? Or was that not what you were saying?

650+ DPS RLML-Tengu is going to be absolutely brutal. Caracals, nom-nom.
Can I at least laugh about the CN Rapid Light Missile Launchers selling for $100-million apiece @ Jita?

This change increases the power of the rlm caracal in the situation where it was already powerful enough, which is killing frigates. It massively decreases it's ability to fight cruisers (as they have enough buffer to survive the initial clip) and it's ability to deal with multiple opponents, or react to any immediate change in a situation (well it can but it takes 40 seconds to do so).

While it has ammo it is no better than an omen or rail thorax. When it runs out of ammo (which will happen quickly) it's reload time make it completely useless and unable to react to new things appearing on field. I keep asking why I would have any reason to use rlms outside of shooting 1-2 lightly tanked frigates and warping out when the omen and thorax are able to give the exact same damage only the caracal is unable to sustain it or react via changing ammo without rending itself useless for an absurd amount of time.

If you dont think 40 seconds is an absurd amount of time, please watch the video someone was kind enough to link earlier and tell me how that would play out in a pvp situation vs multiple opponents.

Add a Gravitational Capacitor, the new Ascendancy implants, a WS-615 warp implant, three T2 Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizers and it's going to be a force to be reckoned with. These could be really, really nasty in small gangs going forward.

Since it's somewhat apparent now we were either looking at a RLML/RHML nerf -or- what we're going with, I'm not sure why this wasn't just stated from the outset...
