Wont somebody think of the calculator makers !!! I'll step up and admit that I am guilty of implementing this change that might affect calculator makers all over. Incidentally, I am a big fan of calculators, especially the EVE one and I regularly fight off people that want it to die and fix it when it needs some love. So I sincerely hope that it won't ruin the lives of calculator makers, I kind of like my life.
It's okay, CCP karkur. You gave us blue orders in the market. We'll love you forever for that. (Speaking of, I think I still owe you a pair of soiled pants. You ruined them. RUINED!) Whether or not you win the game matters not. -áIt's if you bought it. |

Quote:Yeah its stupid to make important information like what your range is easily available. Because a space ship would never have that type of information available to the pilot.
Do you mean like a Star Trek spaceship that has a normal douchebag captain? Or an advanced internet spaceship that houses an immortal pilot whose genius is beyond comprehension. Because the latter would not have any need for a distance calculator.
You thought Tom was trolling but now your fallacy has been revealed. |

Technically, that is incorrect. Missiles do not quite fly their true calculated distance like that, requiring some acceleration time and getting on track, in addition to the fact that as the target moves, while not neccessarily getting any farther, it increases the potential distance the missiles have to travel, thus, if you have 85km range on your missiles, and are firing at a vagabond circling you at say, 75km, it's perfectly reasonable to expect your missiles not to travel far enough to even hit.
7/10 Trolling attempt, hurt by lack of real knowledge about the mechanics. |

Are you saying the actual max range is slightly shorter than the max range you will be/are giving? Could you correct this so that it is either: perfect, or a slight underestimate?
It's much better for someone to find out by accident that their missiles are a little better than expected, than to find out they are a bit worse than expected. |
