no i compared right those things.. cruise missiles does less dps than medium beam laser with legion.


Cruise missiles on what ship?

My experience of the new cruise missiles is that they are devastating at all ranges.

Can you provide some numbers so we can check your claim?

Well if you want some numbers.. my friend geared up legion and got with her skills 1050 something dps out of her legion. i made up navy raven geared with full set of cruise missiles and the added low slots with ballistic control systems. i used evehq to run what it is with max skills for the cruise missiles... got about 907 dps

1050 dps from a beam laser legion? I'm afraid to tell you that your friend can't add up.

EDIT: double checked this in EveHQ

A legion with T2 beams, gleam (range 12km), 4x CHELM's Modified Heat Sink and a headful of 6% implants emits 928dps, 1091 if you overheat the guns.

So yeah, you can get 1050 something dps from a legion with no tank, no range and horrible tracking. It will do that for a few minutes until the guns burn out.

It will cost you 17 billion isk to fit and you'll lose it to a T1 cruiser.

Doing the equivalent stupidity with a raven gets you 1150dps at any range to 166km unheated. Closer to 1400dps with overheat. It will also have north of 100k ehp.

or eve can't add up... cos its straight from eve. Are you Amarrian? If so it might be u don't wanna believe or it woulc call nerf on beam. And don't use evehq for medium turret calcs.. it isn't updated yet for it. so figures are from ingame.

edited my post with numbers from the newly updated EveHQ. Using odyessy 1.1 data.

Your friend is sadly mistaken.

the legion was incursion used legion.. so relies on logis to do teh job. and aint it bit overpower anyways if 6 medium beams can compete with 8 cruise missiles?

what im more worried here tough is the fact that i soon shall demand my caldari point being reimbursed.. cos damn caldari missile boats sucks at pvp. and missile boats ain't favored in incursions. Only thing they are used is the missioning pretty much. but so can other races do missions and turret ships are wery favored in incursions and in pvp.

Sorry, how do medium beams compete? In the example given they have a range of 14km and the modules required to make them get that much damage cost 16 BILLION isk. And they still do less damage than cruise missiles with T2 ballistics, which have a range of 160km.

well if we consider pvp situation.. what will you get accomplished with 160km range? nothing. all your targets can escape wery well.. some even before missiles have landed. most of the pvp fight i have had on my hands been close range where missiles can't compete at all... on long range fights if the opponent decided to stand still... on distance of 160km where some long range large turrets can really hit.. lands 3-5 hits before those missiles have arrived on its target.

There are many pvp situations.

You're right, a cruise raven is likely to be used in a fleet, but then so is a beam legion.

The best thing is to try these things out on sisi. The weapons systems behave in a way that's not immediately obvious from playing with EFT.

well if we would put up 3x heavy missile tengus versus 3x beam legions or pulse legions... which one prolly would win on distance that would in theory prevent both parties from escaping? :P i would still bet on legions same if we put those tengus fight proteuses...

Well to just compare dps... u don't need wery special raven fit... just fill high slots with launchers and low slots ballistic control systems... if u want add then full missile rig set there... (which isn't really feasible option in real go) on mid slots u don't need anything for testing dps

Turret ships have also wide variety of modules to help them... there is those heatsinks, tracking computers, remote tracking links... eve ntarget painter can help turret. what we have for missiles? ballistic control and target painter. no range extension for example.. nor flying speed improvements to get closer to turrets insta hit. You could claim that missiles hits always when in range. For many respects turrets and missiles are under same rules.. target speed affects to both, target size affects to both. you try to compensate that target speed by increasing tracking speed. while missiles have nothing really to modify effects of targets speed on missile. you could call immediately webs.. but webs are used also by turrets. target size modifier? there is painters that can work for both. and so much more... for this i don't take skills nor rigs into picture.

You are correct that missiles don't have an equivalent of a tracking computer.

Neither are missiles affected by tracking disruptors, so you could call that even.

Missile ships can also launch FoF missiles, which give them something to do while they are ECM-jammed.

The two weapons systems are very different in the way they apply damage to moving targets.

None of this matters of course. In a real pvp fight, which is almost never 1v1, individual comparisons of the last 5% of the effectiveness of a weapons system are irrelevant.

If all combat was happenign inside scrambling and web ranges.. then CCP sould not had to buff Blasters as they did some time ago.

Real eve is different, there is engagement in a lot of distanes. THe close range one is not the rule, its just the most lethal variety of it.
