Mister LEM0NS	Posted - 2010.01.21 22:25:00 - [1] As most of us may know, Dominion had an upgrade today. The supercarries become a whole new weapon, dreadnaughts signature radius's were raised for battle conditions, the nagflar is now ready to use XL Artillery, our stout little frigates can probe space for longer, and an entirely new weapon flew to the battlefield by force via citadel torpedos mounted within drones. The Fighter Bomber! And yet, most of these upgrades will not help the everyday player. Why? Despite the war going on in the forums, CCP has once again, neglected to see our beloved railguns some mercy. Still weaker than any other weapon in the game, railguns are next to useless, as is my rokh. People tell me they have range, but whats the point if the enemy can repair what little damage i have done and have spare time waiting for the next lowly salvo? I have also been told to use blasters. Can blasters participate in missions where the average orbit is at 30 - 50km? No, and frankly, i shouldnt have to sacrifice my medium slots to fit an afterburner. Im tired of using missiles to get the work done. When will the CCP give us the much needed railgun overhaul? (PS: dont give me that "there is alrady a poll about this! TROLL TROLL TROLL!" Thats not the point. The point is that there was just an upgrade and we havent seen any changes the average player wants to see. The only people rejoycing now are alliances / large corps and the ninja salvagers hunting down small powerful ships doing level 4s)

Nothing but hyperbole here. Move along. -Liang -- Liang Nuren - Eve Forum ***** Extraordinaire www.kwikdeath.org
Gypsio III Dirty Filthy Perverts	Posted - 2010.01.21 22:38:00 - [3] wah wah wah boost me nerf you i'm incompetent halp pls ccp wah wah

Darek Castigatus Immortalis Inc. Shadow Cartel	Posted - 2010.01.21 22:40:00 - [5] they already do plenty, not ccps fault you're incompetant is it now.
How2FoldSoup Hull Tanking Elitists	Posted - 2010.01.21 22:45:00 - [6] Confirming my brokh hits out to 40km. Null + TE is p nice sometimes
Mister LEM0NS	Posted - 2010.01.21 22:46:00 - [7] Edited by: Mister LEM0NS on 21/01/2010 22:46:20 Originally by: Darek Castigatus they already do plenty, not ccps fault you're incompetant is it now. Cruiser sized missiles are doing more damage then battleship sized railguns. A drake can out-volly a rokh any day, the sad part being that a drake only has 7 launchers while a rokh has 8 rails.
Don Pellegrino Helljumpers Aeternus.	Posted - 2010.01.21 22:47:00 - [8] I agree that they need some kind of boost, but that will come after they're done with Assault Ships and Rockets. Also, "most players want this" is never a good argument. The game has to be balanced, flaws need to get fixed, no matter if most players want it or not (i.e. There's more Caldari pilots than Gallente pilots, but Caldari won't get boosted because there's more people of that race, only because they might be underpowered).
d3vo Isotope Laboratories	Posted - 2010.01.21 22:49:00 - [9] Railgun's range compromises with its damage. It follow suit with beams and artillery. ch33rs
Myrkala Minmatar Aurora Acclivitous	Posted - 2010.01.21 22:51:00 - [10] According to polls, 80% of players want to paint their ships pink. - Thanks CCP, I knew you had it in you! <3 Long live Naglfar!

Isonkon Serikain Gallente Aliastra	Posted - 2010.01.21 22:59:00 - [12] what a waste of time
Nebuchadnezzar VI	Posted - 2010.01.21 23:00:00 - [13] They are called Hybrids for a reason. Do you want them to have the power of projectile turrets? Or the range of Lasers? If you do then use those. If you want something in between use hybrids. They all have there own purposes but lasers and projectiles have more specific or situational purposes. Hybrids are more of an in between, they don't excel at any one thing and to be quite honest, they aren't suppose to.
Grapez The Greater Goon Clockwork Pineapple	Posted - 2010.01.21 23:14:00 - [14] Originally by: Nebuchadnezzar VI They are called Hybrids for a reason... They are called hybrids for a reason, just not the one you cite. /signed for railgun b00st

Fenris Ulfur Bio Material Inc	Posted - 2010.01.22 11:11:00 - [18] Originally by: Stil Harkonnen Originally by: Nebuchadnezzar VI They are called Hybrids for a reason. Comprehension fail Why not try and shed some light on what you think Hybrid means in this case rather than acting like a 14 year old girl? According to this source the prefix 'Hybrid' can indicate a composite formed by two or more elements. This could mean that when deciding on naming the weapon group 'hybrid weapons' CCP was thinking about: _____ a) The possible long range & low damage VS The possible high damage & short range _____ b) The combination of Shell/plasma core in the ammunition _____ c) The ability of the weapon to deal dual damage types (Heat, Explosive, Electro magnetic, Kinetic) Now take your pick or suggest an alternitive

So what exactly am I killing things with on my gallente alt, if not damage?
Furb Killer Gallente	Posted - 2010.01.22 11:19:00 - [20] Drones most likely.

The accurate range of railguns is very good, but due to technical limitations it cannot use onboard guidance." - Railgun description from in-game. Particle blasters operate on a similar principle as the railgun except they fire a magnetically contained ball of subatomic particles. - Blaster description from in-game.

Yes and according to the names of the in-game railguns they uses both coil-gun and rail-gun technology
Commander Ogir	Posted - 2010.01.22 12:04:00 - [25] Rokh and Railgun is MEH.... Go and use some projectiles. Helps to get a better tank too... that bonus isnt worth the effort.
AterraX Caldari	Posted - 2010.01.22 14:08:00 - [26] Originally by: Mister LEM0NS Originally by: Myrkala According to polls, 80% of players want to paint their ships pink. Would be nice ^^ PINK DRAKES! Even nicer would be: PINK NAVY DRAKES!! Fact of EVE forums: They will always come an anounomys alt-toon and question someones character...only fools buy into anything a forum alt says though... And yes I am an alt :)
Assembly Turkey	Posted - 2010.01.22 14:23:00 - [27] Edited by: Assembly Turkey on 22/01/2010 14:23:26 If CCP Listened to everybody yelling that their current class needed to be buffed, we would all be doing L4 Missions in frigs and whining they don't do enough damage. Gallente runs one of the best mission ships in the game, Dominix, (For like 70mil fitted) able to tank over 1k missions specific dps running dual LAR, 5Ogres or Sentries while using the high slots to tractor and salvage making up for the time you would have to come back in a destroyer. As for Caldari, there is a reason the most popular ships are the ones with the missile bonuses, just like Gallente and drone bonuses. No race can excel at everything, we have enough Caldari pilots as it is.
Parfait Noir	Posted - 2010.01.22 14:27:00 - [28] One thing that also might be mentioned is that rails have the primary drawbacks of both Lasers and Projectiles (needing ther cap of lasers and ammo like projectiles) and seem to be less effective than both (from what i hear, hell im a normal cadari i use missiles)
Sumelar	Posted - 2010.01.22 15:08:00 - [29] Originally by: Furb Killer Drones most likely. Yeah, megathrons are really great drone boats, what with that huge capacity and damage bonus. The thread is about hybrid guns, try not to be an idiot when posting.
Regat Kozovv Caldari Alcothology	Posted - 2010.01.22 15:27:00 - [30] Originally by: Mister LEM0NS Cruiser sized missiles are doing more damage then battleship sized railguns. A drake can out-volly a rokh any day, the sad part being that a drake only has 7 launchers while a rokh has 8 rails. Drake can't throw ordinance 250km.
