tbh i think linking the falloff mechanic to every gun type is wrongedy wrong wrong
there should be 3 types of calculations involved
optimal range : (regular sans the barely scratches and lightly hits bs)
and for lack of better words on my tongue
damage falloff and accuracy falloff
this should be diffrent for every weapon type
for example
lasers ... light goes pretty fast right ?
for the sake of game balance things obviously have to be taken a little out of the realm of "that makes perfect sense even irl"
anyways i would like to see the folowing
Pulse lasers : very quick rof, higher miss chance, medium optimal, medium damage falloff where accuracy is maintained(damage from 100%-50% of max), folowed by a very short accuracy falloff (where the lowest damage falloff is applyd (damage from 50%-0% )
Beam lasers : slow to rof, lower miss chance, high optimal, low damage falloff, higher accuracy falloff
crystals modify like they currently do
gleam = conflag = same as t1 optimal, high damage , higher cap use
scorch = as is now
aurora = as is now i guess... the tracking hit is a bit harsh...
empire faction crystals = slightly higher damage output, slightly higher cap needs
pirate faction crystals = slightly higher damage output no aditional cap need
Autocannons : redicolous rof, high miss chance, medium optimal, very low damage falloff, high accuracy falloff
Artys : extremely low rof , medium miss chance, high optimal, very low damage falloff, extremely high accuracy falloff
t1 Ammo : varys damage type + 1 low range higher damage + 1 high range lower damage
hail = quake = high damage, same range, uses cap
barrage = as is ?
tremmor = as is ? (sorry im not a seasoned mini pilot)
empire faction ammo = slightly higher damage , uses some cap
pirate faction ammo = slightly higher damage
Blasers : medium rof , lower miss chance , low optimal, very high damage falloff , tiny accuracy falloff
Rails : medium-high rof, medium miss chance , high optimal , medium damage falloff, medium accuracy falloff
t1 blaster = vary damage falloff/damage type
t1 rail = vary range from base
void = same range , higher damage, much more cap use
null = med optimal , same damage, slightly mrore cap use
spike = same range, higher damage, higher cap use
javelin = is now the high range one...
empire ammo = same range, slightly more damage, slightly more cap use
pirate ammo = same range slightly more damage
as a variation here you could do
gallente faction ammo (and gallente pirate) = slightly more damage
caldari faction ammo (and caldari pirate derived) = slightly higher range
Missiles sorted via rof :
rockets, medium yield, very high exp vel, medium exp radius
standard , low yield, high exp vel , medium-low exp radius
ham , high yield , high exp vel, high exp radius
heavy, medium yield, high exp vel, medium exp radius
cruise, high yield , medium high exp vel, high exp radius
torp, extreme yield, medium-low exp vel, extreme exp radius
rage = same range has t1, higher damage, higher exp radius(thats the drawback)
precision = smaller range than t1(the drawback) , same damage , lower exp radius
javelin = higher range than t1, lower damage (the drawback), same exp radius
empire faction = damage and exp radius slightly higher (but not as high as t2)
pirate faction = damage, exp radius , exp velocity slightly higher (but not as high as t2)
