Player Features and Ideas Discussion

The big plus of this change is you no longer need to consider rapid launchers when working on a fit. it simplifies missile builds a lot when you can just ignore rapid launchers as unviable right from the start.

Don't feel bad for asking. In testing, the new Marauders never got the 100% missile damage bonus for RHMLs - and despite numerous (and repeat) requests for clarification in both the Marauders and RHML threads - not a f*ck was given. That's my biggest gripe with the changes: little or no advance notice, and feedback and questions from players has all but been ignored.

I second this, and implement 10 second ammo switch

lol @ DPS loss. Your killboard is nothing but APi verified PI industrials and afk mining barges.

Golly, maybe someday you'll solo one of those skillless kills and graduate to the big leagues.

Everything you say I can't help but be enthralled by, looking at you is like looking into the void.

Oh, on topic. Buff to 2/3 man gangs, buff to blob. Nerf to solo and small gang. Death to PvE use. Me no likey.

The quoted proposal above is one of the best proposals that I have seen in awhile...

CCP Rise, congratulations you have completely killed missile boats for me. HMLs aren't used except in large gangs. Where the number of the ships that are firing offsets the insanely poor damage-application.

RLMLs are only really useful against frig hulls. It can be used with decent affect on Industrials and Miners. But aren't really useful against cruisers with any decent tank.

RHMLs are taking those sad crappy HMs and just firing them faster. So what you have really done is make a launcher that will fire all my missiles quickly. Then I get stuck with a Ancillary-like reload time. Missiles are meant to have damage flexibility, strong anti-EW characteristics and optimized for alpha. However, one would think that ancillary-style reload-time on a 'delayed-alpha' weapon system would be draconian and broken.

TBH, missile mechanics are needed to be fixed. They are ridiculously bad. If you want my breakdown of the problems with it refer to the Cruise Missile balance from the last expansion. But to summarize for any noobs, missiles have **** damage-application. Turrets and drones are all much better on the damage-application, not a little but entire different universes difference.

This proposal gives me no incentive to put any further effort into missiles than I have prior to Retribution. Again, CCP Rise I am astounded by you and your teams lack of innovation, long-range thinking, or even understanding of cause-effect principle. If you are set on doing this Caldari need another rebalance on the T1-T2 and T3. That rebalance needs to happen before any more of whatever delusional-ridiculous stuff in your head.

Have a good night!

PS. I strongly request a full refund of all SP spent in missiles. Since they are well on their way to the trash-bin thanks to you CCP Rise. Oh and you can check, but I have not flown a Caldari ship in any serious role since Retribution. And the reason is your ideas.

I would rather enjoy it if CCP Rise were instead to be known as CCP 40Second.

Then again, I would rather enjoy it if missiles had been scheduled for an in-depth rebalance and RHMLs shelved until afterward. Looks like I'm not getting either of the things I want.

Only if you use RLMLs.

Faction are probably 25, no? (I imagine Officer hold a few more)

I love the way eve players are trying to reason with ccp by giving them little ideas on how to maybe improve the RLML change. 1st off ccp don't care which I posted about a week ago .
2nd when was the last time ccp rise even posted on this thread or even looked at it .

so lets look at what's new

2 new SOE ships and 4 new mobile structures not to mention the new RHML and a new type of implant.
everything else is a improvement on a mechanic which is already in game.
does the bastion mod count as new or part of the ship rebalance
