I'll never understand why people fit 1 or 2 Target Painters on Cruise Missile mission ships with Rigor Rigs... Guided Missile Precision skill ftw...

Because without them, you can't use Fury cruises against cruisers, battlecruisers (and even some battleships) without damage lossą
With GMP IV, you have an explosion radius of 270m with 3 T1 Rigors equipped. With GMP V trained, it drops to 250. That means you're hitting all NPC battleships for full damage, and almost all BCs for full damage potential. This doesn't take into account the lower explosion velocity and higher damage reduction factor.
Are you guys really seeing a significant increase in damage against BC and BS sized rats with painters? Against cruisers--I guess you can potentially hit a bit harder, but I would have guessed drones would work better. I don't mission very much, so I trust you guys have it all dialed in. I just figured you would have hit the point of diminishing returns.

You are basically using that signature increase to effectively reduce their speed, much like how painters can be used to effectively reduce the transversal of ships when you shoot at them with turret weapons. Of course, in terms of the actual maths, that's not really what happens, but the effect is exactly the same, and you can use your overview to gauge the usefulness of your painters.
I'm gonna have to get back into the missile damage formula to see the mechanics of this I guess. I always thought sig and speed operated independently--be good to learn something...

Obviously the Ishtar setup I use does best against Guristas or Serpentis,
Do you mind sharing that Ishtar setup? That got me curious...
Typically its a shield fit with max passive recharge and racial shield resists. Drones do the heavy lifting and the extreme shield tank does the rest.
