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.

You sir are in a very small minority. Also, try a rocket heretic for giggles. Load different ammos into all of the launchers for some fireworks!

Problem with missiles is that you cannot see them at a distance. I'm in two minds about the smoke feel they are a bit to smokey. Love the launchers.

it's OK man, there's no need to feel ashamed. You've correctly recognised that you have a problem, and that's the hard part. Simply ask your doctor to refer you to the appropriate specialist and the rest will pretty much take care of itself.
Godspeed and good luck with your treatment.

I can see what you mean, smoke and explosives probably shouldn't look like that in space. But then again ships explode all the time in EVE and I've gotten used to that.
Eve uses flight game physics, flight game graphics, flight game everything, because we probably wouldn't be able to relate to realistic space stuff. But we have seen plenty of dogfites in movies.
I remember one space game that tried to be realistic, the sequel to Elite. It was called Frontier and was 80% unplayable. I had one kill in that game, a fight that lasted 5 hours straight without being able to dock and save. It was a cool game in it's own way, but not really suitable for playing.
All I meant to say is that I appreciate that EVE often use the rule of cool, instead of trying to be realistic.
There's a nice video of Frontier on youtube, but the guy playing just do some trading on auto-pilot.

So much this!
Something just seemed of, couldn-¦t put a finger on it and that-¦s exactly it!.
Those are no SciFi missiles but crap that would launch from today-¦s ships/subs and AA-batteries.
Once the novelty wears of it will be one more thing people will want to switch off.

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.

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. |

Stop using crappy mangas to make your non existing point. EVE has it-¦s own "science" and even by those standards these missiles are off.
That-¦s nice and completely irrelevant to EVE. Barely extrapolating the crappy contemporary science.

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.

And here I thought that chemical reactions burning could indeed create smoke in space that would slowly dissipate as the atoms in the vapor drifted apart.
Then again, I also thought that explosions could ignite ships full of oxygen in space, at least until the oxygen burned off.

ive gotten no FPS hit on my rig. Hasnt even effected it. Time for an upgrade, or turn down ur settings i think.
1 thing i would like to comment & agrere upon, is, you cant see them from a distance, to a flame trail/marker should be at least visible, as so i can see where there going at great distances.
And as for the scatterring effect, i personally think its great. hitting the same place on an object was gettign a bit boring. Next thing i want to see, is impact on shields ( if there's any left lol ) with some sort of effect. Only time it should actually be hitting ships hulls, is when your in armor or hull

Yeah CCP, what were you thinking putting things that belong in a flight combat game into our spaceship flight combat game?
Sure the smoke trails look like they're travelling through some sort of atmosphere instead of the vacuum of space, but as was mentioned, your ship behaves the same way.
Hooray for consistency!

Most of the destructive effect of the nuke would be lost into space the rest would just roast the hull a little. If we have the technology to fly to other planets to fight aliens then we would have shielding or metallurgy to keep the bad stuff out. A nuke hitting you would do diddly.

I dunno if this is new or i just didnt pay much attention to it, when the missiles fire it looks awesome, except just as they launch they jerk forward a bit then go on about their business.
Also whats with the graphics for when the missile actually hits a ship? Its like as if someone just has a bag of dust and throws it at the ships hull and "POOF" dust particles everywhere... I thought missiles make splosions! |

Sorry to hear you disagree.
I did not like the strip miner change in the last expansion that made my strip miner look the same as all the other regular mining lasers. Since I don't mine anymore, I guess it's not that big a deal. Maybe you should try mining, they don't use missiles.

I don't know... I heard the whining, got out my Drake and did a mission... and liked the effects quite a bit. Especially the sound. That deep *crump* of the missiles hitting a target 55km off (I know, I know... sound doesn't carry in a vacuum... but the TIE fighter roar is still awesome) was cool. Seeing a swarm of seekers rather than a single glowing blob was also a big improvement.
Then again, I'm easily amused. I hated the plot of Avatar (Space Pocahontas), but liked the movie anyway. |

I agree that they might need to be a bit less smoky, but I still like them better than the incredibly boring old ones that came out of nowhere in the middle of the ship and looked like a single missile even with grouped launchers.
Less smoke, much brighter engine flame perhaps (disregarding the fact that neither smoke nor engine flames happen in space)? |

They're definitely an improvement on the old missiles and the concept looks gobsmackingly good, although the propulsion system smokes so much the engines must be produced by some third world engineers in the arse end of nowhere.
Less smoke and more pounding on the outside of the hull with a sledgehammer sound effects needed please.

This. You'd think 28 kilotons would do more than just a 'thud'. No complaints about the rest. It looks fuckin brilliant. |

The thing about the missiles is, they have realistic particle trails, for a rocket with a poor burn on rudimentary fuel sources. It's kinda like it's burning on Diesel, Coal dust, Gunpowder and oil.  They do look cool though. 
The fact that their particle trails are realistic isn't the issue, so much as the fact they are unrealistic for their environment; realistic would be something that burned much cleaner, hotter, and with much more appropriate product from the burn. On the other hand, maybe we're not accounting for something present in the Galaxy of New Eden. How do we know the vacuum of space isn't littered with an inordinate amount of pollutants after 20'000 years of space-faring Human civilization?

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.
I agree, I was really upset when they implemented space ships in EVE Online because they just don't seem like they could really "fly" in space, and I couldn't do a barrel role :( |

Aside crappy looks and performance hits. I have no idea if i am hit by heavy's, cruises or torpedo's. Before we would at least be able to tell the difference by the approaching yellow/blue orb size.
Now aside from hit effect that is more like a fart than a booming sound-effect (and why do arties and 800mm sound like thunder in space and missiles like crap?), and visually its underwhelming, torpedo's at least had a big shockwave (not that it did anything) but it was at least something. |

Actually, when a solid or liquid fuel rockets exhaust exits a space craft in the vacuum of space it would leave a trail of fine particles for a brief few seconds- but due to the fact that there is no air pressure in space and therefore little friction the particles would quickly disperse. We know this, because of NASA test studies and films from the 60's.
So though the trails of smoke in EVE are a little long...the fact that they disperse so quickly is pretty accurate. Nicely done CCP. |

I like the new launchers and trails...I liked the old explosions (spherical fireball FTW!) and photon torpedo-style drive effects better though.
