we have fully articulated turrets with nice effects but frankly when it comes to cool looking weapons once again caldari gets the shaft. common a large blob of light comming out of the center of your ship isn't a good effect for missiles. it's a copout. i propose to make missile launchers visible articulated turrets that serve to add realism to missile launches. An example of what i am talking about would be the drake. right now it has 8 clearly visible launchers but instead of the expected swarm of missiles comming out of them we get the usual blob of light comming out of a compleatly unrelated part of the ship. i think it's high time ccp buckled down and gave the caldari somthing nice if we have to suck at pvp at least make our missiles look cooler

The missiles are coming from the center due to optimization and missiles having real flight paths unlike projectiles.
This can however be fixed imo by keeping the flight path from the center in terms of the game mechanics, while visually the missiles should be flying from the launchers and follow along the path created by the game mechanical missile position without being forced all into one lump.
In this way the game mechanics remain simple, while the visuals will be stunning as the missile group is launched in a quick sequence. After quickly accelerating towards the same point they start the dance of the missiles.

I support this too. One other thing I noticed is that turrets have a much better ability to fire at random times from a ship, whereas missles seem to have definite one-second clumps of shots, i.e. in a Drake when you hit F1-F7 to fire your missles they either all fire simultaneously at the beginning of the launch cycle or some will fire initially, another set will fire one second afterwards, and if you have a straggler you'll get one or two more missles one second after the second set.
If CCP could get both visual missle launcher turrets and allow for more randomized timing of the launches it would be visually quite stunning (imagine the coolness of the graphics and sound from a stream of randomly timed torpedos hitting a target in rapid succession, instead of them all happening in big blobs one second apart from each other).

Without a total ship modelling overhaul, visible missile hardpoints won't be around for a very long time however the missile hit effects are due for some serious changes.

Even I, as someone who hates missiles with a passion, think this is a good idea.

Yes, yes and YES again.
Ability to overview turret boats fitting versus absolute uncertainty "how this Caracal will bite me" giving missile boats unfair advantage against turret ones.
Supported at 100%.

I'm pretty sure this is negligible. Also, if they behaved like turrets, then the launchers closest to the target would be the one's "launching" missiles. Regardless... so what if the flight paths are slightly different because they were launched from different points on the ship? Wouldn't that be more true to the way missiles work? Besides... it would be such a small difference...
That aside, I support this. I think it's long overdue, too.

No. There are too many other important and more pressing issues, like musical instruments in Ambulation, to consider before CCP should even ever think about this trivial matter.

Too right... and they need to fix missile so that they actually travel as far as they should.
Currently if a missile has 5k/s speed and 10s of flight time it'll go about 45km because, like a ship, missiles have to 'accelerate' up to their max velocity, cutting into flight time and shortening effective range.

But even just having defined "launch points" to spawn missiles from would be a big improvement.
Also, yeah impact effects need a boost.
