The damage per second of heavy missile ships like the Drake seems low, why are you making it even lower?

I believe the main source of disagreement here comes from comparisons between Heavy Missiles (a long range weapon platform) and short range weapons like autocannons or blasters.

This quite simply isnt true. Its true if you only compare the HML drake to long range long range ammo against same size ships.

Artycanes with EMP outdamage drakes at point range. The same goes for rails and beams on the appropriate hulls.

Now against smaller, sig tanking things? Go ahead and tell me that a HML drake does more damage than a small railgun hurricane to a mwding stiletto. I have fraps footage of my stiletto taking sustained fire from around 90 drakes. Earlier in the same fight my taranis died to a single autocane. Guns and missiles arent the same, and you cant just compare eft damage numbers.

this is about CCP making more money, by making people train other skills and this nerfs people making in game money, in effect making it harder for people to pay for plex with in game isk. in effect hoping that people will in turn have to pay real money to play the game. ccp has been about making money, ad not about working with the players on some level fora while now. and this is aNERF on tengus and drakes, the 2 biggest ratting boats in the game.

you got an issue with this, let ccp know, make them rollback the nerf, but keep in mind walmart only rolls back items it's raise prices on first.

the moderate change would have been 7.5% reduction in missile damage and 5% in range. this wasnt against goons or anybody else, it was against all of us to pay more to play (notice plex prices at an all time high) and since the plex sellers are lookin to sell higher price plex and the plex buyers wont be able to make the money, maybe plexes will drop, but i doubt it.


CCP keep in mind we will find better fits for better ships, no matter what you do you need to remember that nerfing pvp/pve ships and buffering industrials is the first step to being like wow, and your sandbox will get sludge in it.

Also, Ive volleyed many an interceptor in my artycane.

You know, you are late to this. And the discussion has really moved past the "just delete Caldari" exagerated angry unthinking replies. You should read more and focus on the rational discussion that is starting to occur.

You may have something valuable to contribute to that. But your emotional reaction to the proposed (and subject to much tweeking in itself) change is not really helping the thread at this time. Commiserate with people on voice comms or something (assuming they will all think as you presently do). Then come back to post your valuable thoughts and suggestions concerning the mechanics and stats of this change, after you have cleared that from your system.

edit - nice post Zarnack

Since you can't be bothered to check the threads STICKIED IN THIS FORUM

Don't let the door hit you in the ass.

More empty posting. I hope some ISD is going to come around at some point.

Page 85. Wow. Well hopefully CCP Fozzie is still reading this.

I'm concerned about Tracking Disruptors. Faction Warfare is frigate heavy. We've seen the use of alot of the new frigates there. And many if not most are using tracking disruptors. A condor with light missiles, long point, and two TD is common. An arty slasher set up the same way is too. Even Atrons and Executioners will fit a TD rather then a web.

Now I've held my peace as I can build destroyers that lock farther and shoot farther then these small, frail frigates. I also know in the background that missile boats were very capable against them as they were immune to TD. But if that's not the case I can guarantee you that everyone and their mom will be fitting a TD. Some ideas:

• Increase the fittings on the TD. Increase the fitting grid on specialized boats.

• Take the TD for missiles one step further and seperate them for use via race/weapon type. I.E. - create a TD for hybrids, projectiles, lasers, missiles, and a weak general purpose one.

• Nerf the TD and boost the specialized boats.
