Fact of the matter is, beam lasers, rail guns (Crucible +), and artillery are all just as good in combat as heavy missiles are. Each one has its special advantage and its special drawback:

Beam Lasers: damage on the level of short-range weapons // massive powergrid and capacitor costs

Heavy/Cruise Missiles: almost inescapable // can't hurt little ships

Rail Guns: longest range despite decent tracking // takes ammo AND capacitor

Artillery: instapopping // low dps

In each case, the major benefit when properly used is enough to get noobs screaming on the forums to nerf it, while its drawbacks are enough to make an underprepared pilot feel gimped if they haven't specced into multi-race ship skills.

You would say "nerf the missiles"! I'd like to hear what your GIRLFRIEND has to say about THAT one!

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

I can't say I agree with nerfing either.

Missiles are right in line with other weps. And drakes are only special for their EHP.

frankly... I cant think of a single time nerfs have been good for the game..... especially since ones that were needed ... the vaga and the domi ... didnt really get nerfed, but a bunch of other things got nerfed around them.

everyone uses HMLs because they actually are useful for their purpose, fitting and targets. where as for every other size/type of missile, the guns are so much better its a no brainer.

All missiles need a boost in explosion vel and a reduction in sig resolution imo, HMLs the least though.

I say enough with the nerfing and fix the game mechanics so combat relies on skill and not what numbers you have on an icon.
