ortaga	Posted - 2005.07.09 12:00:00 - [1] for all u non missile users please explaine why this is now fair. it took me 78 torps to kill 1 gamma 2 frig. i know ppl are going to say fit small launchers but then how are u supposed to kill battleships with bloodclaws? i fully agree that the missiles were unfair but what ccp has done is turn most of my ships into scrap metal i now think its better to train my skills for gallanti ships but along with the ship skills i know have to train skills for armour tanking. which ever way you look at this caldari pilots have been s*** on. i feel really sorry for anyone that has a navy caracal or raven. you should be reimbursed.

babylonstew	Posted - 2005.07.09 12:04:00 - [5] personally, on my raven i use 8 medium drones and 2 x 250 rails with a webber, works fine for me. and yes im a dedicated caldari pilot flying raven, crow, cerburus, eagle and harpy, im not having much difficulty with these changes myself, and this is the first time i have posted on the subject cos im sick of it (\_/) (O.o) (> <) This is Bunny.

Thanit	Posted - 2005.07.09 12:07:00 - [6] Edited by: Thanit on 09/07/2005 12:08:13 4 siege, 2 assault, 2 megapulse/(dual) heavy pulse. +web or painter. = dead frigs AND dead BS. Lasers dotn need bonuses to be effective either, they just take cap. Raven has tons of cap. Fits easier too.
ortaga	Posted - 2005.07.09 12:08:00 - [7] joshua. not 78 and ur rof is much higher.
infused	Posted - 2005.07.09 12:09:00 - [8] God damm, shut up. A battle ship has to carry large turrents and small turrets to kill frigs. Same for you. Whine Whine Whine Whine Whine [World Domination] [Patch 3366-3538: Mirror Here]

You won't hit an orbitting frig with turrets, ever, at all, not once. You need to web web and web, fit smaller guns, or use drones on any turret ship. Be thankful your weapons actually HIT the little buggers.

Chippie MS	Posted - 2005.07.09 12:17:00 - [12] Originally by: Joshua Calvert How many rounds from a turret would you have to fire when it is orbitting you? The cap on my geddon would run out before i could hit it enough to kill it. Stop moaning about the torps not taking out frigs anymore this is to make you use more than 1 type of weapon. Basically no other race can hit a frig with weapons that do a lot of damage at least you can whack in some standards.....or how about this for a wild, crazy idea...... DRONES ooooooooooooooo if i go out hunting in my poc i either fit a launcher on one of my slots of fill up with drones now stop ***ing cos your torps dont kill a frig in 1 hit nobody else can so why should you? go train the skills and shut the hell up. And before i get the usual "its ok for you, it dont affect you you're obviously a ..... Pilot". Think again numbnuts I fly Cladari, Amarr and Mimattar and ive got caught by every nerf in the last few months but instead of sitting in front of the keyboard in my pants crying about it I train the skills for a few days/weeks/months and its all ok. Now if you had all got your missile skills to levels 4 and 5 (which if your a dedicated Caldari pilot you should have had anyway) there would be no need for all these posts cos by now your missiles would be hitting harder. OOOOOooooooooooooo better still save everyone your constant endless whining by quitting eve, format your hard drive and then go play in traffic This is aimed at every moany raven pilot that feels the need to fill the forums with hundreds of posts all saying the same thing in fact why dont we create a new forum called moaning and then everyone who wants to whine can do it in there and the rest of us can ignore it. ------------------------------------ There's one * in the world, one *** with many faces

F'nog	Posted - 2005.07.09 12:22:00 - [14] It's been said before, but I'll say it again, "DRONES." 4 light drones could kill that frig in on time. I'd guess that anybody worth their salt could use far more drones, and more powerful ones than that if they can fly a BS. Originally by: Morela "hey! I'm gonna go attack the north! Afk till tuesday!"
ortaga	Posted - 2005.07.09 12:34:00 - [15] chippy. numbnuts. wot im saying is that the raven has gone from being not the best to the worst tier 1 bs. you fly amarr caldari and minmatar right. would u take a raven to pvp. no. luckily i have good gunnery so my weapon of choice is going to be a mega, i just think ive wasted a good amount of skills on something i think now is inferior. by the way im posting my opinion. is there really any need to be offensive. if we all keep our gobs shut when something annoys us, where would eve be now?
Bohoba	Posted - 2005.07.09 12:35:00 - [16] Originally by: Joshua Calvert How many rounds from a turret would you have to fire when it is orbitting you? get in a Raven to see this these are not at orbit they are 20-70K away I have Target navigation prediction at lvl 4 traing lvl5 10-40 damage off a torp that is at lvl5 humm not right but Oh well Eve goes on back to mining Get Into the Game it makes it fun for all
Jerusaleman	Posted - 2005.07.09 12:36:00 - [17] well chippie thought you were an all right guy till read your post .......the changes have hit every character i have over multipul accounts leaving eve dead in the water for me foe the time being. when i look at the other weapon systems i can see why the changes but so many so fast i think it could of been done a bit better. regardless of what weapon can do what people were given the missiles and trained them acordingly, got used to them and how they worked they then fitted in to a style of play maybe built up over a year or so. so when your hit with this type of thing, it hits mch harder than it sounds to you. dam, some corp members in kess can only fit 1 launcher wtf. how as a ceo do i keep them interested and willing to participate. we all used to go out as a corp and do missions annd complexes now the younger caldari have no chance they dont come how doess that promote team play some things may work themselfs out with time for training the new skills but in the meantime all hell has broke lose and two have now left my corp friends have left eve lots are considering going that i personally know the skills alone cost me over 12 mill for my self then there was rest of corp to sort. my point is it was all to fast to hard just like the missiles i supose.
Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2005.07.09 12:38:00 - [18] Do NPC's suffer the sig. radius penalty if they use MWD? LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
ortaga	Posted - 2005.07.09 12:40:00 - [19] thanks jurusaleman. u got my point over better than i did. i trained for something, got it to a level i was happy with and all of a sudden im reduced to being a noob bs pilot.
Bohoba	Posted - 2005.07.09 12:41:00 - [20] Originally by: Joshua Calvert Do NPC's suffer the sig. radius penalty if they use MWD? I think it is suppose to but a bug is there from what I hear Get Into the Game it makes it fun for all
Galk	Posted - 2005.07.09 12:42:00 - [21] NPC frigs have rather large hitpoints i think. Well judging by the fact it used to take 4-5 torps to take some of them down.. and the other night.. in some cases they were still resisting a full first blast barage from my top rack of 425's while standing still hitting for 250-300 a shot. Still.... 78 torps.. 1 gamma 2 frig FTW -------- "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." 'A Streetcar Named Desire'

Jerusaleman	Posted - 2005.07.09 12:44:00 - [23] fit a rack of tachyons on an apoc then go try kill frigates guess what? u miss. why should siege/torps be any different? (apart from the fact u actually hit - albeit for low damage...) dajjal maybe because thats what missiles do yer i heard the iraq soldiers sayint the same thing (wtf you wepons are guided thats not fair stop while we train them). hey dont you ever fit them onto amar ships like x2 on apoc no cause not cos you dont belive in them
GlimmerMan	Posted - 2005.07.09 12:50:00 - [24] Drones are the answer to frigates, I've not once hit an orbiting frigate with my mega Pulse two, even with a tracking computer II active. However my 6 wasps chew through frigates quite nicely. 78 Torps? - Take the hint, you're not supposed to use them against frigates at all now. Blowing s**t up since May 2003
Chippie MS	Posted - 2005.07.09 13:00:00 - [25] Edited by: Chippie MS on 09/07/2005 13:00:48 Originally by: Jerusaleman well chippie thought you were an all right guy till read your post I dunno where you got this silly idea from it certanly wasnt from me or my corp ive never been pretended to be alright. For clarification convo anyone in my corp and ask em i guarentee they will all say 1 word 4 letters beginging in C ending in T..... you get the idea Originally by: ortaga thanks jurusaleman. u got my point over better than i did. i trained for something, got it to a level i was happy with and all of a sudden im reduced to being a noob bs pilot. I had the Raven to a level i was happy with and it took me 2 weeks from start to finish. so to train a BS that fast and that easily and be able to do max hits everytime is crap and unbalanced all the other races take months and months and even then you wont be able to hit a frig with large guns so now nobody can so im my eyes thats balanced. It also makes noobs and lower skill players more valuable in npcing get the bs to take out the big ships and a crusier doing the rest, or use drones. Same thing happens everytime they nerf something people have to adapt and people leave. When they nerfed the lasers I went to test em out and ended up dying to a crappy cruiser/inty spawn but did i cry or jump up and down and chuck my dummy out of my pram? no i adapted.... i had no choice and you know what it makes you a better pilot. Ravens where too easy for npc/missions no other ship hits everytime with max damage its not balanced so they change things.... GOOD If your reduced to being a n00b then you obviously didnt train the missile skills up to levels 5. Like i said if your caldari specialised then you should have them all to 5. Ive got em to 4 but im not caldari specialised. Then you need what 12m (if your npc/mission in a raven it takes about 1hr to get this much cash) to buy all the new skills and about 36hrs to get em all to level 3 and you will be better than before so i basically stand by my previous statement. Oh and too hard and fast??? are you stoned??? everyone knew 3 months ago that missiles where gonna get nerfed and T2 where gonna get released so that gave every 3 months to get what 4 skills to level 5...... how is that too hard and fast?? ------------------------------------ There's one *** in the world, one *** with many faces

Actually, there were good points in there. And the Raven is a tier 2 bs. You berate people for their tone and then call them names. Very mature.

Caldari was the only race that could....now it cant deal with it everyone else had to. Dont expect to ever hit a frig and do huge damage with a torp put some drones in your bay or whack in a medium beam in one of your spare highs. ------------------------------------ There's one *** in the world, one *** with many faces

Chippie MS	Posted - 2005.07.09 13:34:00 - [30] Edited by: Chippie MS on 09/07/2005 13:36:05 Originally by: Bohoba Originally by: Chippie MS Yes T2 will better the point of the change was so that huge weapons cant hit tiny ships its all very simple. Caldari was the only race that could....now it cant deal with it everyone else had to. not true you can hit them with good damage at 20-60k now we can't this is my point 10-40 damage while your doing quite a bit more Ok ill modify my statement "dont be expect to be able to hit em with anything worthwhile just like in any other race" Yes you can just use different ammo...... if i want to hit em over 20k ill have to switch crystals so you switch to cruise (they fit in siege still as far as i know) get your skills up and you will prolly need 2 missiles to kill em with beams ill fire 7 shots hit it maybe once and it will take 2-3 hits (I use t2 megas) to kill so going on that rationale with your skills up you should have to use 18 torps to kill one. So its just adapting or whack in drones its all very simple and not as big a problem as most people are making it out to be. If people had read the dev blogs and thought mmmm t2 launchers and a missile nerf are coming...... i fly caldari ships..... what should i train??? i have a couple of cladari pilot corp mates and they are not bothered by the nerf cos they actually prepared for it then they will spend a few weeks and everyone will be all smily again. But im sure people will whine about friegthers and Dreads when they start getting em ------------------------------------ There's one *** in the world, one *** with many faces

But im sure people will whine about friegthers and Dreads when they start getting em :) just wanted to clear that up about orbiting hell If I let em get that close I deserve to die lol still a hard Nerf to swallow but will adapt OH and NO cruise missiles no longer fit in a siege launcher so now also a Trop raven if jammed has no defense no fof's just another gotcha lol but thats with all races so no biggie Get Into the Game it makes it fun for all
BIRDofPREY	Posted - 2005.07.09 13:58:00 - [32] Originally by: Oi Poloi stop whining and start training those skills I've trained the skills to lvl 3/4 and did the math (It's what I do for a living) and from the methods used to determine damage, it will still take a large number of torps/cruise/ heavy missiles to take down a frigate. As it stands now - the frigate is effectively invulnerable to conventional means of attack. I have been experimenting with a Raven to determine the best means of taking out frigates and it appears to be drones. I tried to use projectiles and rails; tech II projectiles don't have the bonus to make them effective on a raven. Small rails are okay, but still leave a great deal to be desired. I tried Heavy missile with the same effect - minimal damage to frigates. So Drones are the only effective means against non elite frigate - against elite there is nothing that will help you. What is very much out of balance is Battleship on cruiser damage. Cruisers have found themselves in a Grey area between combat ineffective (Frigates) and Ubber damage (Battleship). Using both heavy and cruise on Cruisers was almost as bad as frigates. I have decided that CCP came up with a reasonalbe idea for damage on frigates, but didn't implement it properly. They rely on Speed (absolute Velocity) to determine damage when they should have used simple velocity. The difference is that velocity takes into acount direction of travel. Flying into a blast would do considerable damage if direction of travel wast taken into account. This is actually quite simple if you use simple trig' and vector equations; This any Calculus 3 student can attest too. For those not yet to that level of math, Vector math is very simple, once you know the trick. THe way missiles work now is very counter intuitive. But then again, many things in EVE are backwards to the physics of the real world. Your 650mm Artillery Cannon I perfectly strikes Serpentis Guard, wrecking for 340.0 damage

Cruisers have found themselves in a Grey area between combat ineffective (Frigates) and Ubber damage (Battleship). Using both heavy and cruise on Cruisers was almost as bad as frigates. Considering, on missions (where most complaints are emanating from), cruisers make up most of the enemy fleets (most non-DS missions have 10+ cruisers in most spawns) it is a problem. Cruise, Torps AND Heavy Missiles (supposively the Cruiser-weapon) do only about 130 damage per missile to a cruiser. Heavy Missiles useless on a BS, as torps outdamage them and deal greater damage to Battleships. --------------------------- VSX EVE Design
NightmareX	Posted - 2005.07.09 14:09:00 - [34] Edited by: NightmareX on 09/07/2005 14:10:32 Hmmm, i don't have any problem to kill frigs now, since i have most of the new missile skills at level 3. The biggest problem is to kill frigs and small drones that are orbiting you, but i only equip 2x Heavy Pulse Laser I on my raven, instead of 2x Heavy Nos. And then you hit them and kill them fast. And yeah, i'm using 6x Shock limos Siege Launchers, and have no problem at all. Now you will see what kind of damage i do on Frigs, Cruisers, and Battleships And here you can see some hits on frigs: [ 2005.07.09 07:01:17 ] (combat) Your Juggernaut Torpedo I hits Dread Pithi Demolisher, doing 271.5 damage. [ 2005.07.09 06:59:19 ] (combat) Your Juggernaut Torpedo I hits Dread Pithi Destructor, doing 269.0 damage. And i got a damage like this in 65-70% of my hits And here is damages on Cruisers: [ 2005.07.09 08:13:46 ] (combat) Your Juggernaut Torpedo I hits Guristas Mortifier, doing 350.2 damage. [ 2005.07.09 08:13:10 ] (combat) Your Juggernaut Torpedo I hits Guristas Mortifier, doing 346.8 damage. I don't get a damage like this so often on cruisers, but i hit them with damage like this on 40% of my hits And for battleships: [ 2005.07.09 07:50:49 ] (combat) Your Juggernaut Torpedo I hits Dread Pith Usurper, doing 546.1 damage. [ 2005.07.09 07:50:34 ] (combat) Your Juggernaut Torpedo I hits Dread Pith Usurper, doing 545.9 damage. [ 2005.07.09 07:25:00 ] (combat) Your Juggernaut Torpedo I hits Dread Pith Destroyer, doing 547.0 damage. [ 2005.07.09 09:26:15 ] (combat) Your Juggernaut Torpedo I hits Pith Conquistador, doing 548.0 damage. [ 2005.07.08 19:15:33 ] (combat) Your Juggernaut Torpedo I hits Pith Extinguisher, doing 548.5 damage. [ 2005.07.08 19:10:39 ] (combat) Your Juggernaut Torpedo I hits Pith Extinguisher, doing 548.4 damage. And i get damage like this on 99% of my hits, but this is damage on structure. So i still pwn and have no problem at all. And yeah, i love this patch

Talk about persistance you're the king.....or you're something else Faulty testing kept me from delivering the "Logic Editor" earlier. I was using my own post and it kept blanking everything out.

(apart from the fact u actually hit - albeit for low damage...) you kill every frigate with tachyons instantly! exept if they orpbit you. so i want the same advantage with torpedos. if target is away 30k+ i do full damage like with lasers. so stop tellign bull****!

Cylynex	Posted - 2005.07.09 22:44:00 - [42] I hit frigs with my 1400's no problem, at decent range. If they get too close I use my 800 or drones. Is there some reason after a week and about 500 pages of whining that missile user's can't adapt to this situation and use the available weapons, train additional skills, or FFS use a different ship? It's getting really dumb that every day there is another page of new threads whining because the missiles were changed, for the better I might add.
Antic	Posted - 2005.07.09 22:55:00 - [43] Edited by: Antic on 09/07/2005 22:59:02 Switch to cruise launchers and train GNP or have a mixed siege cruise launcher setup and train GNP. Workable after that but you better have decent gunnery skills to fit two turrets in the last slots for additional small target killing power. Wichever you do Guided missile precission(GNP) is now a must. And you will find that it dosnt apply to torpedoes. Also having it at lvl 5 even dosnt give you your former damage glory back to your cruises. Warhead upgrades and the increased RoF with rapid launch helps the DPS back up. Getting GNP to lvl 5 isnt a cakewalk though. Cruise used to be the missile skill wit highest Rank requirement (rank 5 for long training times) but GNP now has the very same training time req. of course the spec skill added now have higher reqs. But the main gripe with all this that you can not adress in any way with all the new and old skills are the size of the missile ammo and its resource cost. You actualy spend more ammo for each target now than before (lower damage per missile) and you launch them faster (higher RoF) but still your ammo capacity is as low as it was before and the ammo is still as expensive although its value per missile was very much reduced. And the missile specialization skills added now dosnt directly add damage but inderectly so by rising ROF, wich again gets impacted by this ammo size/cost problem. Also the speed part of the change has some really wierd calcs going on. even with max TP skill you still wont do full damage to a battleship with torps or cruise if the battleship is using AB or overdrives. MWD you do though cus it adds the sig radious penality. ANd range dosnt matter for this so the damage can be avoided/reduced outside web and painter range as missiles are now long range, especialy if paired with a defender launcher.

At decent range you can kill frigs with your 1400's no problem. Torpedos, cruise missiles, whatever... can't, no matter what the skills. While I don't agree with the original whine, this is something separate and not fair. How can it be fair for you to be able to shoot something travelling in a straight line at you from range yet a torpedo or cruise missile etc.. can't? Either make it the same or stop trying to make missiles a 4th turret type, missiles by their very definition are not turrets and should not operate the same.

Borzoi	Posted - 2005.07.10 01:25:00 - [48] 78 torps to kill a frig ... good, finally a missil change, ADAPT ...
lindie	Posted - 2005.07.10 02:44:00 - [49] when are you going to get it. did not come here to adapt. dont want to sit around while new skills train who wants your advice if its not constructive or helpfull like you we pay to. this patch is the biggest load of bollicks ive come accross in eve spoilt my whole game, every area there there is problems maybe some will work out in the end maybe not. the fact is for a lot of people its crap there was plenty of defences for missiles you seem to have forgoten about, which you did not get with other weapons so why should i have to sit around while months of skills are trained trying to work out what im going to do cos everyting im used to and enjoyed with the game is gone you adapt to small changes diferent senerios not new games that you did not sign up for seems to me theres a lot of people out there that just love to see people not having a good time which just shows how sad you are
ortaga	Posted - 2005.07.10 09:10:00 - [50] well put lindi. i am going to adapt by training my galanti ship skills because with all the extra disadvantages u have now with missiles i think it will be more benificial. the only ship i plan to keep is my harpy. ppl can call u whiners all day long they seem to enjoy the fact that for wotever reason a lot of us are pi***d off. we know that caldari ships had some good advantages with missiles (and some disadvantages) i feel like ive waisted a lot of skill going in a certain direction in the game. the only good thing i can see now is i look forward to using galanti ships, but surely this cant be right, after all, i am caldari.
ATRADE	Posted - 2005.07.10 10:17:00 - [51] Edited by: ATRADE on 10/07/2005 10:18:31 i just dont understand teh supidity of people not learnign caldari bs skill pre patch and took advantage of the ravens ability but prefered whining that raven wa s overpowered. i mean it only cost you so ******* les sp to fly a raven. WHY DIDNT YOU DO SO! and stuck with your less effective but more skill intensive turrets? turrret users point completely does not make any sense to me.
ATRADE	Posted - 2005.07.10 10:18:00 - [52] as well as my own post, but sorry i only have lvl 1 in english.
Lisa Run	Posted - 2005.07.10 10:18:00 - [53] Tried two heavy launchers against fregattes yesterday. They are useless against them, too. Had a spawn with 4 archangel hunters and 1 warlords. I webbed the hunter with a prototype webber, but its shield regeneration rate is as high as the damage of 2 heavy launchers. Useless, so I equipped 6 sieges again. Drones work best, but if you're unlucky and fight a bunch missile cruisers, some of them just switch target as soon as you start your drones and shoot them down. Had that a few times yesterday. The KI has changed I think. My hunting tactics now is to look for easy spawns and then I ignore everything else and kill the battleship(s) first. Have to wait 4 days for missile launcher op. 5 and cruise missiles. I'm not a Caldari pilot and I didn't need cruise missiles so far.
ATRADE	Posted - 2005.07.10 10:23:00 - [54] Edited by: ATRADE on 10/07/2005 10:23:10 also i agree that i dont want to adapt and im also not going to die or quit. i just want my old abilities back and train new skills helping improving my abilities even more. i even want to do more damage with my torpedos. if you have a problem with powerful torpedos just dont engage a raven in a frigate. and simply dont fly a raven. if you want a chalange in doing lvl4's go hop in a mega.
Zaldiri	Posted - 2005.07.10 10:49:00 - [55] Its not as if the missile nerf was a surprise or anything. You could tell it was comming this time last year.

ATRADE	Posted - 2005.07.10 11:02:00 - [57] Originally by: Zaldiri Its not as if the missile nerf was a surprise or anything. You could tell it was comming this time last year. sure but nobody knew how devasting those changes would be. it also was not possible to acurately test those changes on sis.
ATRADE	Posted - 2005.07.10 11:04:00 - [58] anyway i still suggest that you give the top tier caldari bs 2 additional launcher hps so you can fit 2 assault launchers (preferably 2 new ones designet for battle ship) so that you don have to train 2 sets of skill trees.
Lilan Kahn	Posted - 2005.07.10 11:29:00 - [59] try 2 rocket lunchers with rockets in a picnh you can change them to anti missel deffens Originally by: Eris Discordia We break after X amount of threads, then we go wild and then we get our medication.
Citizen Angstrom	Posted - 2005.07.10 11:43:00 - [60] Edited by: Citizen Angstrom on 10/07/2005 11:44:25 Anyone who can say "78 torps to kill a frigate? ...Good." and mean it, is never going to find a fair comment to say about missiles. CCP took a terrible wrong turn, with the philosophy of EVE, back when they introduced Interceptors. That decision set this series of nerfs (and a lot of the other nerfs recently, like the pulse lasers and dual AB) into an inevitable pattern. Simply put, CCP decided to implement the 'Star Wars' combat model, rather than the 'Star Trek' one. I'll explain. In 'Star Wars', what sort of ship do you want to fly? A small one, right. X-Wings can, eventually, and if they are persistent, destroy even an Imperial Death Star. In 'Star Trek', what kind of ship do you want to fly? A Big one, right. Not a warp shuttle. A Borg cube, or a Federation Dreadnaught with warp engines and photon torpedo launchers dripping off it. Small ships go 'pop' if they attack big ships in 'Star Trek'. Now, when CCP went down the 'Star Wars' combat route, they had to remove the possibility of big ships killing little ships in a hurry, or even at all, preferably. Hence all of these nerfs. The next-easiest way to kill small ships with big ships is via drones. Expect a series of drone nerfs to be introduced in parallel with T2 drones. You heard it here first! It's a shame, since I sort of like big ships...
