Torp damage on npc cruisers is ridiculous. tired of watching my raven fire volley after volley on some npc cruiser and watching it tank the torps for almost the same as some npc battleships. yes I have skills, yes I am using the right damage types, yes I have damage mods. It just doesnt make any sense at all, cruisers should die much faster period! dont want to hear all the parroted responses many of you will make. I am just posting to express one players frustration with the unrealistic feel to this part of the game.

Torps used to single volley anything smaller than a battleship so i heard.
But i think its more balanced the way it is now, and i use cruises when ratting.

Right tool + Right Job = win.
have you considered using cruise missiles, or using some heavy launchers when going against alot of cruisers?

Why tamper with missile dmg to balance it out? I would've thought agility should have had the lead role in this, making cruisers and frigs able to avoid torps alltogether by simply turning the steering wheel ... ?
Haulers? Well, ffs!

I somewhat agree with the OP in most cases i have to use more torps on a cruiser then on a BS to kill it. Frigs and BC almost insta pop with torps but cruiser take a verry long time to take down with torps.

Try even precision missile damage on a carrier-modified interceptor. Spitting at it would be more effective. Exiles recruiting

A cannonball can sink a ship but you will waste many shots trying to kill a mosquito with it.
Do not try to kill a mosquito with a cannon.

Your mosquito would die even if the cannonball just passes it without impacting.
Paint your target in your favored colour and Torps do hurt good - unless it is to fast. --*=*=*-- Megadon CCP wanted a well known artist and celebrity to test the new font so it's approval would be well known. They got Ray |

I mean come on, who actually uses Torps on cruisers other than a NOOB?
Perhaps you should learn more about the game before you jump into a Raven, shoot torps at a cruiser, then complain about it.

Would you rather see them implement fancy graphics to actually see the cruisers dance between the slow torpedos?
Remind me about The Maze.

Your skills must suck, my corp mate devestates cruisers with torps.
This whine is so 2005 just as pointless now.

With a basic target painter i get around 700pts on a crusier...
Do you not have this skill?

I dont really have skills, but torps take down cruisers fine for me. 2 target painters almost takes the damage up to 100%.

a lot of 6 motnh old inactive accounts are returning to find new skills for missiles and drones (when they decided to stop playing and ignore skils) they lost time. Now no more instant i win button on a raven hence they end up here complaining

They say in psychology that mass delusions occur, I believe it is surely the case here. How else can you explain that soooo many here sees nothing wrong with the fact that a npc cruiser with a fraction of the hitpoints tanks almost the same as a npc battleship against torps?? No matter what friggin creative excuse is used, it just ain't logical! How can so many players be sooo brainwashed into accepting this concept????
It is goddamn SCARY!

Heavy missiles against a NPC frig are the same so what's the problem? Big guns and missiles against a smaller targets either require painters or other mods to be effective.
Reason = Sig raduis
Torps are slow and have big sig radius so most of the bang is wasted. Add the slow fire rate and you're making it so easy for them to tank it.
I use heavy missiles, they are very effective against cruisers.

Your raven and skillz can't be uber then. My raven kills frigs in 2 volleys and kills cruisers in 3 volleys.
frigs take me 2 * 8 = 16 secs to kill cruisers take me 3 * 8 = 24 secs to kill
No big deal.
And thats normal torps. I use jav torps all the time Frigs die in one volley and cruisers in 2 low end BS (500k) die in 4 vollies and high end die in 6 to 7
And lastly, why are you even bothering shooting frigs and cruiers? I either skip them or kill them with my drones, let a BS spawn pop up.
So, in conclusion, you setup must be wrong or something else is. Spend the time and train up for tech 2 sieges, its well worth it, 17 days or so from level 4 to 5.

ATTN: Read the post bfore hitting reply, would you.
CCP took the easy way out, not re-thinking the implementation of agility. Same with splash damage. If theres anything I dislike its the arcade feel to the game play a lot of stuff in the game gives.
Sure, funfactor is important, but what is fun for one group of players is ****e to another one and with many of the current game balancing solutions in place, CCP filters forth the aracde breed of players more or less.
Thats their intention, sure, I'll play along still and adapt, but it wont change my opinion on the matter at hand.

I found that 5 med scout drones kill a cruiser faster then torps at some times, why bother at all?
Maybe your using the wrong misiles where the npc have highest resitance to.
