Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I take that the computer will have scripts?

Missile Spam + MGCs providing updates to missiles in flight + TD affecting missiles + TiDi = increased cardiovascular related reductions in Hamster resources

Worst case, I tell my kids their hamsters died suddenly in the night, and I ship them[1] off to the London data center.


[1] The hamsters, not the kids. The kids get shipped in the Fall.

Believe me, armor phoon with RHML is going to be a beast in PvP.

It might even be strong enough to upset the cruiser meta applecart.

Is there any news regarding torpedoes? They are really bad currently, both lacking range and damage application

I agree, I really would like to use them the same way than HAM but they just don't do it for missile BS.

The modules seem fine, and glad to see finally a buff to HM, my drake will be happy to finally undock , but wonder why people ask for a ewar, b'cause ECM and Dampener do the job fine.

and fitting issue ....

tank links are broken for sure, but they don't affect damage mitigation.

First, removing Caldari Kinetic lock is a necessity. The Cerberus will always be 3/4's as good as it can be, or less due to Gallente bias (Ishtar lol) and kinetic resists, because of this ancient ship bonus. Missile specialists would not lock themselves into using one particular missile, while drone specialists utilize all drone types, and projectile specialists use all types of ammunition. It makes no sense.

Second, why are you not increasing the range / application on torpedoes? They will continue to languish in uselessness, many battleships cannot sacrifice that many low slots to make them worthwhile, except perhaps Minmatar. Buffing a battleship weapon system at this point is a good idea.

Third, Heavy Missiles still need application buffs. 5% damage increase will effectively do almost nothing as you never apply your paper dps anyway. A Cerberus only has 4 low slots. In pvp, you pretty much require a damage control, so realistically you only have 3 (you might be able to get away with a nano instead of DC if you are running a sniper fleet). Two need to be BCU's to make the damage worthwhile, the third would probably be a guidance enhancer which comes at the cost of speed on an already horribly slow ship. If you sacrifice a mid, you lose an application Ewar module like a web or painter, for an application module....(?) or you sacrifice tank.

Edit: Javelin and precision missiles need large buffs, or changes, to make them worthwhile. Consider these long range missiles over something like null, scorch, or barrage. There is no comparison.

A small step in the right direction, but it will still be drones (ishtars) online.

How about you fix fofos and make defender missiles not useless while you are at it? Thanks.

I find it interesting that the missile versions of TCs and TEs have the same CPU requirements as their turret counterparts, yet BCUs require more CPU than turret damage mods.

For a dev: did you chose the level of buffage of the new mods to be lower than the turret counterparts to accommodate the equal CPU usage, or are you just giving missiles a free ride on this one? Is it safe to assume that the bonuses from these new modules are stacking penalized like their turret counterparts?

Please note that I am not complaining. I am simply curious and am rather excited to see how these play out. I do have to say though, a Phoenix with 3x midslot missile mods will be...interesting....
