Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Either improve the explosion radius of the weapons or give the phoenix a special bonus. (CCP did that for the Nag right?) With a few tweaks this ship could be much closer to its brethren. Thoughts? This should be an easy fix for Odyssey 1.1 if the community brings it to CCP's attention.

Yeah, it would be wouldn't it? But I said improve. As in make better aka smaller.

Yeah, NP man, I kind of got a bit brisk with you anyways. As for the buff their explosion velocity is now 30. Ok great. so in other words you wont even hit a moving capital for full damage. The moros does like 13-16k dps and the phoenix does like 10k (and thats damage fit faction bcus and ammo) add to that that missiles are inferior anyways cause the damage is delayed, and you have yourself an inferior dread. I say buffs are in order.

On a similar note, I had been thinking earlier that missiles needed a mid or low slot module that acted like a tracking enhancer/computer for missiles. An improvement to either both factors of damage application, or radius and missile velocity for longer range. I don't have personal experience but wouldn't that help both the users of XL missiles?

Raise the explosion velocity of citadel cruises and torpedoes to 50m/s and 36m/s, respectively.

That will kill missile pvp. The immunity to ewar compensates for the delayed damage. Instead ccp should just create a separate module similar to TE's for missiles. This would also help the phoenix.

An analogy is where you make a comparison to two things and say they are similar or comparable in some way. You might use like or as to do it. Outside the English classroom, the use of the word simile is quite limited for the reason you just unwittingly pointed out: there is no meaning to say something is a simile. All it is is saying you used X word to compare two things, it doesn't tell you what type of comparison was made like words such as analogy do. Long story short, simile is one of those made up terms so teachers can ask their students "whats this word doing here, kids?" and they say "oooh ooh," with their hands waving, "a simile!" It's a distinction without a difference.

Missiles don't follow that paradigm. Long range, high explosion velocity, mediocre damage vs short range, low explosion velocity, high damage

you shouldn't need to fit rigor rigs; none of the other dreads do. Most dread fits will either have hp buff rigs or cap buff rigs. Sure you might be able to jury rig a fit with rigors but It really is sub optimal compared to any other dread. CCP has admitted this on multiple occasions; they should buff things.

Well, in one very unlikely (but possible) way. Citadel missiles COULD be considered way overpowered. Although for this to occur there would have to be some major shenanigans involved.

Let's say your Citadel torpedo thas a max range of 65km and rate of fire is 13 seconds.
Total alpha we can average at 140k for this example.

If by some bizarre turn of events you got starbursted or super bumped towards a target from max range at roughly the same speed as your torps (vicinity of 1750m/s?), you would arrive on top of your target at the same time as your first 2 volleys to hit, and 2 seconds before the 3rd volley hits.

This is roughly 420k damage in the space of 3 seconds. Or 140k dps.

This isn't possible with turrets.

:D
