I see what you did there...

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.

Actually, it says " missile ships, such as the phoenix"

Not The Phoenix only

Not "ships like the Phoenix"

But "such as" ie Missile ships including the Phoenix

The point is valid. Most people won't admit it. They don't want to use missiles so they ignore the fact. And raven doctrines are rare and may have just been a phase. Name me one class of ship where caldari is the favored for pvp.

T3? Nope teng us are good but not favored. Bc? Nope maybe only the crow would be favored in its class. Anything dread and above caldari is a joke and everyone knows it.


We use Naga's quiet often.

Using examples of what one alliance fields in a few select fights doesn't really show much. In general, metrics show that missiles have certainly come down in popularity some since HML changes but overall they are still performing well.

The Phoenix is certainly not in a good place. We actually tried to do a pass on it a few patches back but couldn't get the tuning quite right so we decided to wait a little since there will be good opportunities to balance it alongside other changes that we have in mind.

Missiles gained some ground recently with Cruise changes and the addition of RHML. We want to do a few more things over the next few patches that will also impact missile balance, if that helps your outlook.

Could have something to do with the OP saying "buff or remove Caldari"

But maybe that means something else in your language

Tell us more about how being able to pump out 1000 DPS on a battleship with HEAVY MISSILES at 47kms is inconsequential.

And what do you while they reload?

Reload times, really? Less than Arty, the same as Shield ASBs. You going to tell me both of those are inconsequential as well? You don't even need to reload when using them against small ships, they will be dead before you need to.

Probably the same thing you do between the first shot and the last shot

Caldari Caps in general suffer not only from the fact that capital size missile are basically broken/worthless, but also from the lack of the shield equivalent to the slave set. Something that would have hopefully appeared in Rubicon, but it now seems as there will never be such a set.

He, like the OP, seems to still live in the fantasy land that equates missiles with massively low DPS weapons.

I guess DPS has changed its meaning too
