Why can cruise missiles have precision / wrath, and FOF while torps are stuck with defender missiles....... really? Rage torps are useless vs anything that is not a BS or a POS, and javelin are good.... but come on defenders really? Why can't the torps have a weaker but smaller explosion radius torp? Why cant they roll with FOF? I know the winter expansion is coming... Can i have my prayers answered CCP? Perhaps with some ammo changes the Caldar BS line might have a use in PvP, and SB's certianly wouldn't mind a misisle that can shoot.... something smaller :)

well since the main use of FOF is when jammed....and torps need paint to hit things and that paint would be jammed too you kind of have your answer there. It be wasted ammo.


Caldari does have fleet BS' as well....Rokh and scorpion. Learn rails or learn to jam. Its missiles non instant damage that has it not liked. FC calls primary, he is not digging waiting 10 seconds for that first salvo to hit. Especially when he has arty alpha putting out 2-3 salvos whle those first missiles are still in flight. Scorp is an exception....mainly because you are there to jam, the missiles are for there for show lol.

Light/Heavy/Cruise/FoF missiles - guided.
Rocket/Heavy Assault/Torpedoes - unguided.

Do you see the problem with FoF Torps?

I want to be able to sit outside a station shooting unguided torps into space with nothing targeted and hoping someone will fly into my stream of death.

After having thought deeply about this for less than 10 seconds, I say bring back AOE damage to torps!
It sounds fun, and fun is good, right?

Only if they also damage anything in its flight path. I loved how my Purifier got raped by my corpmates torp-Raven while I was cloaked, covering a gate. Fun indeed! P

You used to be able to do this... 7 or 8 years ago. But, you could fit any missile in any launcher too. Kestrels with torps roamed the space lanes.

... and people complain about missles these days.

I am not asking for any insane torp changes, I would just like more selection..... rage is useless, so it's faction or jav torps. Defender missiles are worthless. This weapon system is not very multidimensional at all, and when compared to the other missile based systems, it makes me sad.

Look at the dev blogs... not going to bother to go find it.... but theyre removing the penelties to T2 ammo, not sure how this is going to effect torps tho.

What OP is moaning about is that he gets jammed by guristas too much and thats why he needs FOF torps and tels rages and javelins are useless.
