You mean... like railguns? Or arty?



This. I agree with and hate this. Drones have always been easy mode in this game. They add so much versatility to a hull as to compensate for any smaller targets, or being able to blap anything with tiny EHP. They're basically insta-kills vs people that fly small ships, and then you can just recall those drones and set out sentries to wreck larger ships. They don't take cap to use, have no fitting requirements.

Ive watched ishtars use sentries from 70km to farm cheese kills on people in FW because they had frigs or destroyers. No skill involved.


Guns have range and tracking issues, missiles don't. and LMLs simply out project everything short of a harpy / corm for small weapons.

while drones are OP in this state of the game, missiles have always been the easiest weapons system to use.

at least you have to manage your drones and keep them alive, whereas with missiles all you have to do is press F1 and expect damage, regardless of cap, relative velocity, range. missiles there's no real counter play beyond bringing a big tank, and burn max speed in a straight line.

People complain about tengus and drakes, HMLs get nerfed to oblivion and in addition drakes as well.

People complain about garmurs and crows. LMLs get nerfed and so do crows.

Meanwhile we greet our Ishtar overlords.

I'll keep using light missiles just like I did before. They combine incredible range and excellent damage application that is 100% independent of the launching ship's motion. When you're in a fast-moving frigate, these two things together are invaluable, even if LML RoF did get nerfed by 6%.


It is totally fine that a handful of Crows with - YES I am saying it out loud, 100% damage application missiles - can yolo-pwn a cruiser and whatever they want to.

But on the other hand it would be OMG terrible bad if a battlecruiser could do the same back @62km.

This is the law of ship progression!
