Missile skills vs gunnery skills

What are you, deficient?

If a skill give me 2% per level, and I go on a mission and I can see what difference it makes to the hits at level one, and then again at level two, then it's not exactly advanced mathematics for me to figure out where it is going to put me at level five.

I don't have to WAIT to get to level five to know what the performance is going to be.

And (surprise for you maybe) I fully support the changes to torpedos against smaller ships. Playing the Raven got REALLY boring, unless you were watching your bank balance. It was a good idea to liven things up a bit.

Now, every time a missile user complains torps aren't hitting for the same damage any more, that's what we get told..."Torps are only good against BS now".

If that's the case, why is it that my torps, which USED to hit for 639.5 points of damage on the hull of an NPC battleship (so NO resistances) now only hit for less than 200 points on the hull of the very same battleships? When I had no skills they hit for 180...now I have them all to level 3, so I've got 20 points back. Wow, training them to level 5 might get me another 20 points. Excuse me while I **** my pants in anticipation.

*Flame On*

I apologise on behalf of all missile users that we have had it so good, for so long. However I didn't program the system that way, I just took advantage of it. You had the same opportunity as the rest of us, to take advantage of that low skill point threshhold you all keep whining about, jump in a Raven and go earn lots of money. How long do we have to wear sackcloth and ashes before one of you will admit that even with the skills fully trained up we are now NEVER going to be on a level footing with turret users, and this nerf, whilst required, has gone considerably too far in the wrong direction?

*Flame Off*
