i as an caldari flyer love to use missiles. but i find that the DPS is way to low at missiles.
missiles must travel, got a slow fire rate, and their damage isn't even that high in comparison, missiles also got the bad effects of explosion velocity and explosion radius.
while turrets ammo doesn't travel,got alot of different ammo that can hit just as far as missiles, got a high fire rate and their DPS is way higher and only got tracking speed.
missiles are underpowerd in my eyes cuz of that all 
maybe i forgot a few things but these are the only things i can think of
can there maybe come something so that missiles are less underpowerd?

but missiles as a conceptual weapon type work fine currently.
yes it works fine but it got more cons than pros in comparison to turrets in ways of DPS/fire rate and travel time. they do great damage per volley but the DPS is always 100+ lower if both ships are fitted. and that just sucks, since in the time that you wait till you can fire again the enemy can have his shield/armor up again for a bit or totally
but i hate to use turrets as i love the effects missile have and i love shield tanking which is caldari and they use mostly missiles

Mine does about 400 missile dps. This is very high factoring in the fact they hit consistently. Ever seen the stats on current rocket-using ships? DPS figures on those are relatively low. Know why that is? Because it's made up for by the fact they hit more consistently than turrets can even dream of.
than what ship are you using? and whatkind of missiles?

BTW, treat your 70km range as a luxury, not a necessity. I very rarely have to shoot that far, but it's a nice option if I need it. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it, like most turrets don't.
i am happy bout the range, but the traveltime is sometimes just to long in comparison that some turrets can do that in 0.01 second

Translation: I'm a 3 week old char that rushed into a Drake because I heard it's the pwnsauce.
its not 3 weeks old -_- and like it matters if i rush into a BC if i PvE? i train skills while im flying the ship. yep and now you all can go blabla you shouldn't do that blabla

Edit: Also, if you're doing something like bringing your Drake a long with a gang of snipers, your problem is improper choice of ship.
im not PVPing, im very happy with the PvE so far, don'see the point of going into pvp if i like pve

Because this is how you lose expensive things and then QQ and ragequit over how "hard" the game is.
maybe you are a quitter but i never quit a game cuz i lose something, i get angry,buy the ship again and get some iskies together so i can lose it another time ^^
but now somewhat more OT: im doing PvE so no chance near hell that the enemy can break my tank even not in the beginning when i was flying it, i never warped out or anything and my shields never died.
and maybe you PVP or something which will make you lose it if you didn't train them and make you lose em even if you did train em but just slower. but again i DON"T pvp!

As such you have no place in a balance discussion. Goodbye!
(By the way, please work out how to use quote tags properly sometime. Thanks.)
sorry for the quotes if i did em wrong...
and i don't need to PVP to see the difference in firepower, i can very well see that in PvE agains NPC's
