I realy dislike the long reload time of the light launchers. I just started playing and now on my cruiser in t2 missions i twiddle thumbs almost more then i shoot.

Does anyone know if heavy missiles will now work against frigates? They didnt do as much damage as lights before this patch?

Yes, but you'll need rigors and/or target painters for maximum effect. Heavy assault missiles have better damage application against frigates.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

HMLs need to be looked at and fixed along with Rapids

I'm having a great time with the new launcher mechanic.

Guess I have "Adapted".

Seeing how i quite frequently burn through the reps on dual rep Incursuses in a Comet i'm quite sure you could do it in a 400 dps rlml ship. (especially seeing how it alphas down pretty much its entire buffer on a good hit)


Please post the setup for your Comet. Assuming both rail or blaster + AB , web and scram + 1 Ancillary repp setup, you will have to run from the Incursus I posted before you cap out. You might resist longer if you give up the web and fit a cap booster tough



Run from a dual rep incursus?

***** please, i'll kill your ****-fit incursus in a heron (If you promise to not shoot my drones)






(Eventually)

Seriously though I'm pretty sure i could 1v2 dual rep incursii in the Comet. (And its not because i'm good)

So I tested the new RLMs today. In a caracal that still had 80 rounds loaded. I killed 2 frigates and a destroyer. In a normal RLM with 18 shots, I would have killed only a single kestrel, as the kestrel took 10 shots to die, and the next frigate, a punisher, took 14. Thrasher next, took 5 shots.

Kestrel was mse+dcu tank, no rigs, punisher was 200 plate + dcu + 2x ANP + trimarks. Thrasher had 400 plate and nothing else.

So basically, an anti-frigate cruiser that is pretty much incapable of fighting equal sized ships, can kill a single t1 frigate and part of a 2nd before having to do nothing for 40s.

Sounds like a great weapon system.

The only genuine use I can see for this is fitting them onto unbonsed hulls. Specifically, the Prophecy. Mine had RLMs before in the spare highslots, and now it's a good bit more burst than before, which has improved my utility in fleets.

Otherwise, all but useless.

It's not a fleet weapon? That 40 sec reload time sure makes it look more tempting in groups than alone.

Gotta say the 40 second reload time is bad, needs to be cut in half. Also the amount of missiles fully loaded needs to be increased.

So people who can adapt to change and are giving positive feedback to these new weapons should just cancel their subscription and GTFO because we are ruining "your" game? -Disclaimer.... I'm reading a little between the lines here.

Don't think I've killed you yet with them but I'll keep an eye out for you Twisted

They aren't OP. They have major advantages and major drawbacks. 40 seconds to me doesn't seem very long. Probably because I'm so busy concentrating on manual flying rather than hitiing orbit, press F1 and wait.

The only issue with these weapons right now is ammo switching. This is currently being worked on and I hope to see it in 1.1

Emotions are good and I'm happy for you but just saying "I'm having a great time" in no feedback.

I think the fact that I am having fun is valid feedback

I'll comment on this line later when I'm not at work as this could take some time Blink


EDIT: I'll also learn how to multi quote sooner or later

40 secs is way too long. Can't even complete a reload between belt jumping for rats

Because killing dual webbed Stealth Bombers with your Bellicose is some kind of serious business that you couldn't have done before with a single drone or a well aimed fart?

Show us your actual "tanked frig kills" instead of sneezing on stealth bombers. Or, better yet, why don't you read the post from the esteemed gentleman from Hydra Reloaded (you know, that little corp that made it to the Alliance Tournament Final) and hear what a pro has to say.

You might learn something.
