I believe Artillery and Railguns need a boost. Reasons for: Artillery: 1. Alpha damage isn't as good anymore, because of the HP increase. 2. Doesn't have exactly great range.
My way to fix this, while evening it out, would be to: 1. Add an extra 30% (roughly) damage modifier to all Artillery. 2. Add an extra 5-15% Optimal Range and Falloff of Artillery. 3. Decrease rate of fire by an extra 5-20%
Railguns: 1. Incredibly low damage, only useful if you have hundreds of them. 2. Incredibly long range, which coupled with the fact you can't warp in at 200/250KM makes it pretty useless without an MWD or set-up time.
My way to fix this, while evening it out, would be to: 1. Increase damage modifier on Medium and Large railguns by 10-20%. 2. Decrease optimal range by 5%. 3. Decrease Rate of fire by 5-10% (but not so much that it may aswell have been left how it was).
I can already tell I'm going to get a lot of smartass replies from people saying why it's not needed, but I really think it is. Both of them. I would say one of them especially, but they both need a boost! I guess if I had to pick I'd choose Artillery. _____________________

It is needed rails are crap they fail miserably due to their horrible damage and terrible tracking. Not sure about ACs never used them.

To be, or not to be... that is the question.
Now I've started there isn't much point. _____________________

No its not. If anything beam lasers need a fitting fix. Railguns definately dont need a fix at all. Arty needs slightly more ammo. -------------------------------------- [Video]Skirmish Warfare |

In what way do they need a fitting fix? For the damage potential railguns have, they may aswell take up as much powergrid as missile launchers. _____________________

Basics of eve 1: There is something called damage vs range balance in eve.
To put it in baby language: Long range weapon = low damage weapon; Short range weapon = high damage weapon. Rails have longest range of all turrets = rails have lowest damage of all turrets. Blasters have shortest range of all turrets = blasters have highest damage of all turrets.
If we'd have it your way, eve would turn into clown land where everything is upside down. -------------------------------------- [Video]Skirmish Warfare |

Does that mean Artillery was invented by clowns, because it's long range and high damage? _____________________

Maybe you should look at the fire rate of arties.
If you wanna be a nal about it ok: Switch the word "damage" with "dps", thats more correct. -------------------------------------- [Video]Skirmish Warfare |

Originally by: Murphus Brutez because of the HP increase.
The reason for that was to lengthen battles to create time for the addition of more tactical options to combat, like heat (implemented), subsystems targeting (still in the works) and whatever else they/we think of that promises to be fun.
We're between changes at the moment, so it is indeed less than optimal, but fixing this, temporary, problem would be silly.

I think railguns are fine in every way other than Cpu is a tad high but there dps is not as bad as you make it seem.
Arty every one know's it needs a boost but 1 boost every one can agree that just allowing the guns to hold more ammo would be a big help.
Death is great rember where all dying to get there. |
