Vilserx	Posted - 2005.07.08 21:14:00 - [1] Good post. What you said makes sense from a RP-perspective. Why would the other 3 non-Caldari races not try and make a defence against missiles? I'm sure the Amarrs would find a Laser that cut through missiles, or the Gallente would invent drones that could take down missiles in mid-air - for example. One of the problems pre-patch was the lack of defence for frigs/inties against missiles. See a Raven and you're as good as dead. Defenders didn't cut it (and missiles travel too quickly now to make them much use). --------------------------- VSX EVE Design
Vilserx	Posted - 2005.07.08 22:26:00 - [2] That must be broken. Either that or there's a hidden part of the missile changes/formula that CCP hasn't decided to tell us about... --------------------------- VSX EVE Design

Vilserx	Posted - 2005.07.10 18:07:00 - [4] Originally by: Blind Fear Missiles do damage (and good damage) to cruisers at every range with no defense, and do enough damage to drive off or kill frigates in short order. Is it a 1-volley kill? No. Deal with it. It takes us approximately 5 volleys of cruise, torpedo or heavy missiles (supposively the 'cruiser' weapon) to kill a mission cruiser (100k). This is at any range, even with painters. It's even more for frigates (unless you decide to fit light missiles and lose any chance of breaking a BS tank). Drones? They get destroyed very very quickly with the new NPC targetting. Webs? Painters? Webs are close-range modules...isn't the Raven, with these new cruise missile changes and all, supposed to be a long-range ship? Painters make so little difference they're worthless. Small guns? They don't do nearly enough damage vs. the elite frigates you fight in missions. Missiles are useful as secondary weapons on an Apoc (for example), but guns aren't as good on a Raven. --------------------------- VSX EVE Design
