Player Features and Ideas Discussion

The problem with changing missile stats is that their effectiveness against intended targets and unintended targets is closely related. There is also little difference between explosion radius or explosion velocity outside of shooting much smaller targets. I don't have room to explain why here, but I have tried to explain this in my forum post on the missile damage equation.

lol, he said medium arty. What is medium arty?

A Comprehensive Missile Balance Package
(In addition to the proposed Aegis changes.)

Remove Kinetic Pigeon Holes
• Condor gets a +10% damage bonus to rockets and light missiles
• Buzzard gets a +5% damage bonus to rockets and light missiles
• Hookbill gets a +20% damage bonus to rockets and light missiles
• Hawk gets a 10% damage bonus to rockets and light missiles
• Corax gets a +5% damage bonus to rockets and light missiles
• Flycatcher gets a +10% damage bonus to rockets and light missiles
• Cerberus gets a +5% damage bonus to light, heavy and heavy assault missiles
• Onyx gets a +5% damage bonus to light, heavy and heavy assault missiles
• Rook gets a +7.5% damage bonus to light, heavy and heavy assault missiles
• Navy Osprey gets a +10% damage bonus to light, heavy and heavy assault missiles
• Drake gets a +5% rate of fire bonus to heavy and heavy assault missiles (it's already benefiting from the 5% heavy missile buff); this makes it comparable to the Raven in terms of relationship between Battlecruisers and Battleships.
• Nighthawk gets a +7.5% damage bonus to heavy and heavy assault missiles
• Tengu Accelerated Ejection subsystem gets a +5% missile damage bonus

Nerf Light Missiles; Buff Rockets; Buff Heavy Missiles; Buff Torpedoes; Buff Heavy Assault Missiles
• Swap the explosion velocity bonus between rockets (+20m/sec) and light missiles (-20m/sec)
• In addition to the 5% damage buff to heavy missiles, decrease the explosion radius on all heavy missiles by -5m and increase the explosion velocity on all heavy missiles by +10m/sec.
• All torpedoes receive a -33% reduction in explosion radius (which gives them slightly better damage application over cruise missiles)
• All heavy assault missiles receive a +20% increase to explosion velocity and -5m reduction in explosion radius

Nerf Bomber Capacity
• Reduce cargo capacity by 50-100m3 (torpedoes just received a huge volume reduction and their damage application is increasing quite significantly)

New Faction Missile Modules
• Mordu's Legion Ballistic Control System: 15% missile ROF, 7.5% missile damage
• Dread Guristas Ballistic Control System (updated): 12.5% missile ROF, 10% missile damage
• Mordu's Legion Missile Guidance Enhancer: 5% explosion velocity, 5% explosion radius, 15% missile velocity, -15% missile flight time
• Caldari Navy Missile Guidance Computer: 7.5% explosion radius, 7.5% explosion velocity, 7.5% missile velocity, 7.5% missile flight time
• Republic Fleet Missile Guidance Computer: 7.5% explosion radius, 7.5% explosion velocity, 7.5% missile velocity, 7.5% missile flight time
(At least the addition of Faction modules will offset the recent MGC/MGE 'nerf'.)

Mordus Legion Ship Changes
• All missile damage bonuses for Mordu's Legion ships change to ROF bonuses. This results in a slight nerf to the Orthrus when utilizing RLMLs and a slight buff to the Barghest when utilizing torpedoes or cruise missiles.

Missile Naga
• The Naga gets reverted back to a missile Battlecruiser (yes, it was a missile behemoth to begin with): 5% torpedo and cruise missile damage and 10% missile velocity per level.

Tengu Accelerated Ejection subsystem gets a +5% missile damage bonus

well , maybe 7.5% sounds much much better , sorry it`s my favorite ship :)

ok, so are the missile rigs stacking penalized now or not? or we will find out in the patch day?

d) This thread is long abandoned and they don't care and the never not nerf caldari train continues unmolested.

e) those responsible for desicion making went on the summer holidays and read the forums for entertaining only, indirectly mocking us for even trying.
