The "missile race" has ships that let you run 7 launchers (the Drake).

Minmatar ships as another example: at least 7 turrets worth of projectiles.


Gallente.... Drone Race..... FIVE.


To be consistent, the turret/bay limits should be all 5, or let Gallente ships field more than 5 drones.





So 7 drones + a rack of 7 blasters is equal to just 7 turrets/launchers? Sense made, you have not.



Blasters with crap range while all those other 7 turret/bay ships don't have the same range problems.

So when the Drake is spamming with all 7 bays from 50+ KM out, your FIVE drones can scratch its nuts while you watch your armor get peeled off.

Yes, that makes sense.

It's why I fly Minmatar.

Also why do large ships take longer t o lock? Shouldn't they lock quicker because they have a larger room for sensor equipment?

It's because they have much more sensor noise from their own bulk to 'see' through (this was the explanation a dev plucked out of the air anyway, years back when it was made like that)

Howcome we can warp through planets?


You're not moving through normal space, but through additional dimensions. That's also how you apparently move faster than c.

Gun sizes. The actual size of guns like 800mm "whatevers" do not match the size of the ship graphically. All of them should be a hell of a lot bigger than they are based on this.

There is nothing left to explore. Interbus has been BUSY! They have/had a customs office on nearly every planet in wormholes.

- Monocles costing almost as much as two carriers including their crews, boots costing as much as Command ships.

- Hybrid Charges having the same volume as projectile ammo, regardless off the fact that hybrids use capacitor to propel the charge and therefore just consist of the payload, whereas projectiles carry the payload and the propellant - it's like an integrated cap-booster whilst not costing any volume and providing free damage choice.

- Projectiles having a better falloff+range combination than lasers whereas a laser travels at the speed of light and projectiles well below it whilst laser use tons of cap, and have vastly higher fitting requirements in the first place.

The sound of wind whistling out in lonely asteroid belts. Isn't space a silent vacuum? But I've been told that the wind noise is the sound of the time you're wasting mining flying away....

I remember a time when a certain Gallente ship had the ability to launch 10 drones. I miss those days...

They explained that in the lore in that the sounds you hear are created by your pod so you don't go insane from the silence.

tracking formula.
Guns on a ship orbiting a stationary ship have to track as fast as the guns of the stationary ship to hit, which is obviously wrong.

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value
