Tor Gungnir Agenda Industries 97	Posted - 2012.05.25 08:14:00 - [1] - Quote I've tried to like them. I really want to like them. But I just can't. They don't seem like they are appropriate for space combat; feels like they came straight out of a flight combat game with their smoke trails and what not. The old missiles had that old Star Trek-y feel for some reason. I also don't really like the launchers. The Cruise/Torpedo ones are cool because they are "inside" the ship, but the external ones again look like they belong in a flight combat game. Especially Rocket Launchers. Point of this thread? I don't know. Just felt I needed to share it. Gallente is what America believes itself to be. Caldari is how America is in reality.

Looks like little fireworks hitting a ship too... Honestly, the impact reminds me of snowballs hitting the hull. poff! poff! poff! Gallente is what America believes itself to be.

But we have seen plenty of dogfites in movies. But it is the sort of space combat we've grown to expect from franchises such as Star Trek and Star Wars, amongst others. Honestly, I don't feel like I am flying an airplane in a space-like environment; I feel like I am flying a space ship. The new missiles and their launchers, however.... they're just too airplane-y.

They don't seem like they are appropriate for space combat Excuse me while I just ROLL and PITCH my ship in order to turn it instead of just firing some thrusters to YAW to my desired heading. Also excuse me while my ship reaches terminal velocity as it flies through the viscous space aether that also slows the ship down to zero after my engines stop firing. Let me tell you about 'real' space combat. 2 Ships spot each other in space, fire nuclear missiles at each other from 8AU away, the missiles cross each other and both ships die about 2 weeks after they originally fire ze missiles. As I have stated again and again, Star trek does it like EVE and we've grown to accept it as plausible in our collective nerdy hive mind.

If they made the trails a bit less intense and made them into firey orange (like the old missiles) it would be fine. Oh yeah, fix the snowball-like impact of the missiles too.

The missiles and flares aren't as big as before, and they kind of make a small, ineffectual "pop" noise on impact, not the fufilling "BOOM" of the old missiles. As I said: snowballs. poff!

But neither am I in the majority. Gallente is what America believes itself to be. Caldari is how America is in reality.
