Well if you need a medium or large smartbomb to take out heavy missiles. Then that's one less use for smartbombs. Guy uses zero cap to launch a missile at you, takes you 125 cap to blow up said missile. I don't think so.
Micro smartbombs should take out light missiles.
Small smartbombs should take out large missiles.
Medium and Large smartbombs are only practical on battleships or maybe on a cruiser for some smartbomb enthusiast.
So basically if CCP nerfs smartbombs or hikes missile health. Then they will successfully fug up the game balance once more and I will basically toss the smartbombs, freeing up another high slot.

Any Calderi ship is capable of firing more missiles than your average smartbomb refire rate can keep up with..
What your asking for is the ability to totally make micro and small smartbombs obsolete against missiles.
I equip one small smartbomb.. This is not enough to take out the whole volley of missiles a Calderi ship can produce. But that's not good enough for you? You wont be satisfied until smartbombs are unable to take out even one missile. What would Micro/Small Smartbomb be good for then?
You want me to equip a medium or large smartbomb on a lvl3 cruiser??? How practical is that going to be? Right now my Thorax load out has one small smartbomb. If I tried to put a medium smartbomb on there. I would have to ace important modules to do so. My ship is totally balanced right now. A Thorax does not have any other way to defend it's self from missiles other than smartbombs. And a Thorax can not hold a medium or large smartbomb practically.
Cruisers are made to only equip one small smartbomb efficiently. They is not made to hold medium and large smartbombs. And one small smartbomb is no match for a Calderi cruiser loaded with missiles launchers already. So drop it. I mean no offence, but damn. Your asking for more nerfing here.

You guys fail to realize that one missile launcher fires faster than your average smartbomb. So if you time your missile volley correctly. You will already prevail over a smartbomb defence. But because you lack the basic know-how when it comes to timing. You want CCP to completely make cruiser size smartbombs obsolete.
I'm pointing out facts.

I'm simply trying to defend cruiser size smartbombs while the rest of you think they should become obsolete.
You are basically saying that only a battleship should be able to defend from missile volleys.

True true.. Besides, if I was wrong. Then 45dmg smartbombs wouldn't take out 70hp missiles. Maybe this isn't a bug, maybe it's balance.

How are missiles not affective?
Smartbombs aren't 100% affective against missiles because they have a rate of refire. But what makes missiles ineffective? Do you mean they are just ineffective against smartbombs? If so how? We already know that a smartbomb can blow up one missile.. But how does that make missiles ineffective?

Maybe they should nerf shield boosters as well.. Because one or two shield boosters will keep missiles from ever penetrating the hull. Maybe CCP needs to do alittle more Shield Booster nerfing as well. Yeah that's it.
I don't care what you say.. If it takes a medium smartbomb to take out one heavy missile. Then I will either have to make a cruiser specializing in smartbomb defense with no good turrets, or add another shield booster to counteract missile damage.
Well atleast Small and Micro Smartbombs will still be good for warding off drones.
I just find it really hard to believe that a Calderi cruiser loaded with missiles can't get one shot in edge-wise against another cruiser with only one Small Smartbomb defending it from missile attacks. Just sounds like a bunch of whining saying that one Small Smartbomb stops all missiles or even 70% of them.
NPC pirates get a missile off on my ass here and there especially at close range. They are stupid and still manage to score with Heavy Missiles. So what's your problem?
Dunno don't care.. this is really aimed at CCP the Smartbomb nerfers.. Not you and your silly bug report.

I said I do not care what gets nerfed. I will simply change my tactics. So.. When Smartbombs become useless against missiles. I will stop equipping Smartbombs and focus on another means of defense against missiles. Because i'm sorry but a Medium Smartbomb is just impractical on a cruiser. It's like sacrificing a 250mm 'guass' for a little missile defense. Sorry.. No.
What's the problem now?
