Maxsim Goratiev Gallente Imperial Tau Syndicate	Posted - 2010.01.30 10:48:00 - [1] 15% damage would make rails the ultimate long range weapon. That is stupid. However i do fail to understand why do tachyons have so much grater tracking speed. Sure, they use more cap, but a 2x tracking difference? So, there are 2 ways to go about this: slight buff to the ships to make them balance out, more lock range, maybe powergrid, whatever is appropriate. Reducing tachyon tracking somewhat to make rails and projectiles more competitive. I don't want to give rails simple damage buff, as that would break them. giving them slightly more tracking would be acceptable. Giving them more range so although they don't have much damage and eat cap they outrange everyone, and outdamage at mid-ranges due to using showter range ammo? maybe. BUt as hershel pointed out problem is in somewhat underpowered ships. Small buff to rails would be OK, about 5-7%, but not 15. This coming from a rail-user.

Maxsim Goratiev Gallente Imperial Tau Syndicate	Posted - 2010.01.31 10:16:00 - [2] Quote: Eagle uses T1 ammo by default, because it is designed to do so. If you are using Spike with Eagle , I can't say anything to make you see the truth. You do realise, that maybe different Hac's where designed on different optimal ranges? it's like comparing dps from blasters and puces at 30km, with blaster using iron. That's a flawed comparison. Is eagle does not have a damage mod, ofcource it will have lower damage output but grater optimal.

Maxsim Goratiev Gallente Imperial Tau Syndicate	Posted - 2010.02.03 12:31:00 - [3] Originally by: Naomi Knight Originally by: FlameGlow with ~150km optimal and 2 damage mods(rokh gets 3 cause it's shieldtank) as the general guideline for sniping BS Rokh(8425) spike to lock range 180+km(224+39), 306 DPS, 1688 alpha navy iridium 149+39km, 308 DPS, 1699 alpha Mega(7425) spike only 3 magstab 149+39km, 335 DPS, 1847 alpha 2 magstab + TE 168+49km, 299 DPS, 1747 alpha Apoc(7tach) aurora 188+32km, 312 DPS, 2287 alpha navy microwave 146+32km, 269 DPS, 1972 alpha Apoc(8mbeam) aurora 171+26km, 331 DPS, 1742 alpha navy radio 152+26km, 238 DPS, 1252 alpha Tempest(6*1400) tremor 140+72km, 320 DPS, 5811 alpha From those I'd say aurora is too good for its range and rails are at least 5% weak in damage. Hmm your stats are bad because sniper fits have 3 dmg mods and aimed for 180-190km range not 150km. Also nobody realy tanks now as dd is the past. Does not amke a difference, you can just as well compare ships with no magstabs, since they increase dps of all ships by the same amount.

Maxsim Goratiev Gallente Imperial Tau Syndicate	Posted - 2010.03.17 22:26:00 - [4] Hyperion is a blaster shhip, so i would expect it to be inferior at sniping somewhat. IN ym opinion problem is in the ship's capabilities, not the guns. the fitting parameters on both rokh and hype make me cry.
Maxsim Goratiev Gallente Imperial Tau Syndicate Sodalitas XX	Posted - 2010.05.16 10:22:00 - [5] make rails load up only one bullet at a time, and have them able to swap out shells instantly. One problem solved. Improve rail optimal by 10-12%. Decrease range bonus on caldary ships to 7.5%, that of an apoc.

One problem solved. Improve rail optimal by 10-12%. Decrease range bonus on caldary ships to 7.5%, that of an apoc. Omg. one bullet only? so I would have to reactivate guns every 10 sec or what? Also nice try with placebo boost... try harder You are either an idiot or a troll. Of your own benefit, i honestly hope that it's a troll. If you switch ammo instantly, to switch ammot oyu need to reload your gun.. Hm.. Could that mean that you reload instantly?? NO way..
