All and all launchers and named missle launcher are right on par.
What i'm wondering about is Tech 2 Launchers, nothing has really been posted on that topic......that i've seen
I got thinking and was pondering....what would make a tech 2 launcher?
Seems like as with most tech 2 items they tend to step them up a notch.......so to speak.
The typical assumption of a tech 2 launcher would be a faster rate of fire and possibly a large payload than best named launcher.
That is fine and dandy in all but how about a "new type of launcher as well"
How about creating DUAL launchers where two missles are fired per fire rate time.
They would run into problems with them bumping into each other if fired at exact same time though. I suppose they could make the launchers directional and have left side launch out to left and right side out to right but as they close, might still run into bumping problems.
they would most likely have to alternate the launch so to speak, or delay the second launch for a half second or second. In essence launching two missles per volley of launcher.
They could in essence slow the rate of fire to less than standard missle launcher rate of fire for that same size and increase payload. firing duals would in essence cut rate of fire in half for amount of damage done.
Again this is idea lab and just an idea. I think their recent changes to missles rule and are very fair and i'm sure their idea for Tech 2 launchers will be just as fair.
Dual missle launchers could be a very interesting new addition to the missle realm.
I spose missle users will luv it, missle non users will hate it. Luv it hate it, flame me burn me. just an idea in lab before anything else is posted on it.

so instead of a cruise launcher, a launcher that fires twin heavies? could work i guess.. probably easier to just have a faster rof on a single launch launcher though.

Keen idea. 2 missles are harder to defend against than a single one.

I was thinking dual missle launchers for all size launchers
For example:
Raven fitted with 6 dual cruise launchers would be able to launch 12 missles in one volley but would wait considrably for next volley. over time is where you would gain any advantage.
Granted there would be many things to work out.
fitting requirements would HAVE to be greater than the standard single launcher.
Fire rates would be increased compared to the standard BUT being they launch 2 missles......it in essence gives a faster ROF per damage delt.
what's a standard cruise launcher at now.....something like 24 seconds. well make the dual something like 32 seconds. in essence 8 seconds faster than the single being your getting two missles out rather than just one..
not that i think missles and launchers need any changing but just an idea to possibly give some more variety to the launcher realm and different power fitting usage per setups.
Not to mention a dual launcher will be utterly worthless for current defender missle use. the second fired missle would lock same target as first and be lost after first destroys it's locked target.
but on the same note........a dual used with any FoF. friends foes enemies and targets bring in your drones cuz someones getting hit.
granted like anything else in eve it would have to be implemented, whined about, tweeked, whined about, changed, whined about........then finalized by nerfing, then whined about
seriously tho, a lot of variables such as fire rates, power usage, payloads, would all have to be looked into so to keep the WAAAAAA those are unfair missle launchers out of the whole issue.
dual launchers would make absolutely great "assault" type launchers. they would shine on the very first volley by being able to splash that many missles at once.
me thinking of caracal loaded with 5 dual heavy launchers and dreams it gets implemented

I dont see how tech 2 launchers would work, I imagine the real improvement will be in the tech 2 missiles.
