Long range missiles are the reason I post so much on this forum. |

Make a build that flies fast enough to keep up with your missiles, so that by the time they all get to your target you have 5 volleys hitting at once.
That would definitely not be boring. It would be born of awesome.
p.s. I don't like missiles much either. That's why I trained guns, eh. |

Use short range missiles and get close to your target. |

I've made a change of plan. I'm going to turn my SNI into a cap stable uber-tank with mediocre DPS to supplement my alt in a Thrasher. Running 2 clients should make things a bit more exciting and hopefully more efficient too. I think having a Thrasher will work well because I can use it to loot wrecks too. |

use your freetime for something useful like fapping to MFC camgirls, instead of posting worthless threads like this |

I thought that had to do with being able to get ludicrous ranges with Torps, align towards the enemy, fire off a volley, warp to the enemy, and have your second volley fire and hit at the same time as the first.
Either way, Torp Cavalry ftw EvE: Everyone vs Everyone

In the golden days it was done by stacking multiple MWDs. Obviously that hasn't been possible since.... Cold War? Something like that. |

Hint: you can actually do some pretty creative stuff with Bombers (distance, frigate-speed, torps, bombs).

I for one enjoy long range missiles a lot. Very sci-fi, especially with the new missile effects. BSG anyone? |

They'd probably be more interesting if they required some manual input for guidance or something. |

Are you talking about PvP or PvE?
In PvP a lot manual piloting is involved when you fly solo or very small gang. Not because of missiles. It's because of combat tactics as a whole. Getting into scram range if you fly a brawling ship. Staying out of scram range if you're kiting. Keeping transversal high to turret ships. Staying out of range in case snipers are involved. Kiting of drones while keeping tackle on a drone ship...and so on. It becomes more complex if you fight outnumbered. Separating groups to make them manageable for a lone pilot alone involves a lot of manual, smart piloting.
If you talk about PvE...then yeah. It becomes stale over time. But from my experience with every weapon type. I used missiles, drones, lasers, rails and projectile guns when I did missions. Tbh I enjoyed missiles most in PvE because of the micromanagement involved. Destroying NPCs with the last volley while the next is underway to the next target already. Navigating manually to control aggro - important in harder PvE environments. But with time all this gets boring because you do the same thing over and over. You cannot blame missiles for it. That's the difference to PvP imho. In PvP you never know what will happen the moment you undock.
If you like PvE but want some more excitement...I'd suggest to add a PvP component in your PvE. Do complexes in low or null sec. More reward + more risk = more excitement. |

I don't really want to get my expensive mission ships blown up by gankers but I do PvP in cheaper ships. The trouble is that short range missiles aren't really viable on a battleship because they are so slow. If I use a Drake again, I'll definitely make it a HAM Drake. HM Drakes are so boring. They're probably even more boring than mining barges. |
