Assembly Hall

Why i would like to see this change is simple

Missiles dont work verry good in space. Missiles depend on explosion force to do their damage. but an explosion needs air to travel trough. and in space there is no air for the explosion to travel trough. the only damage a missile does do is the kinetic damage of the impact and EM radiation damage from a certain nuclear payload. Heat damage and explosion damage is kind of rediculouse.

So would vote for some new weapon. something like disruptors.
This is an energy beam that disrupts molecular bonds of the targets thus doing damage to it.

Heat damage would work like a microwave disruptor beam agitating the molecules in the target.
Kinetic dmage would not be possible
Explosion dmage would be difficult ( still thinking on that one)
EM damge would exist of a high radiation disruptor beam

Caldari would be a heat and EM damage race like amarr
ammo would exist of disruptor energy crystals.

Fix the missiles once and for all by getting them out of the game entirely

Replace all missile skills by disruptor skills of the same level

but.. my immersion.

Who's to say the missiles don't just ram through your external armorplating and then explode inside your ship where there's air? Or do you believe your ship is a vacuum on the inside as well?

How can anyone come up with such a bad idea? Removing missiles would mean removing all reason to fly Caldari ships.

It was just an idea. and maby a bad one. no need to get angry about it. And i am not running for no one.
And if missiles where to pentrate right trough the hull wtf is armor and shields for ?

I just think missile mechanics are F*ed up.. and need somekind of redoing. After all these years missiles still shoot from the center of the ship..

Also if you use missile in a highsec gank Concord reacts to te lauch of missiles not to the impact of them
So if your missiles are to slow and totaly miss the target technicaly not even in combat concord still pops you..

I am a carebear so i dont gank people on a regular basis but still...

Lets not get too complicated.

This is a game and enjoy it for what it is.

If you want to follow proper physics and real life, leave your basement.

I'd love to see your sonic weapon work in a vacuum ...

It's sci fi, it can be made to work.

The majority of these falls in the area of lasers, and blasters, which amar already have.

Though you do make a point, mabey caldaris racial weapon should be switched with the ammar.

To late though.

Plasma: interesting, but in the end not much different than anything else we already have
Photons: we have lasers already
Nanite: which would be delivered on a missile but interesting
Phasers: scifi Trek technobabble, no place in any sci fi universe that wants to stand on its own
Dark Matter: could be interesting...
Turbo Lasers: literally, supercharged lasers... we have those, they are called tachs
Phase Inhibitors: random nonsensical technobabble... could call them Phased Modulated Warp Inhibition Extraneous Generators... and it would have the same meaning.
Sonics: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH.... really, no
Pulse: pulses of what? Pulses of air... heat... corpses...
Gravametric Blasters: cool, but would not work as crushing is not a damage type in EVE.




And missiles will always be around. They are the simplest way to deliver a payload to a moving target.
