CCP Rise C C P C C P Alliance 544	Posted - 2013.04.16 13:25:00 - [1] - Quote Hello! As you all know, we are rebalancing all of the tech 1 battleships for Odyssey. This means its a very good time to begin looking at large missile systems. This post covers Cruise Missiles specifically. The biggest problem for Cruise missiles is that their main draw is their range (roughly 75k with no skills, 170k with all 5s, and 250km or so with a Raven). Unfortunately, using long-range missiles in most pvp situations is unrealistic, as the flight time for the missiles, which can be up to 20 seconds, allows plenty of opportunity for your target to evade damage. On top of that, in situations where flight time isn't as much of a problem (like small scale engagements), cruise damage is extremely low. The result is a situation where Cruise Missiles have pve applications, but otherwise torpedoes become the only available weapon system for missile focused battleships. We want to change that! We are hoping to improve Cruise from two angles. First we will increase their damage by around 30%. This will happen partly in a change to the base missile damage, and partly in a rate of fire increase for the launchers. Secondly, we are going to increase the base velocity of cruise missiles substantially, making their role as the premiere long range missile at least slightly more realistic. These two improvements will be balanced by an increase in power grid need for the launchers, and a small signature resolution increase for the missiles. Specifically: 5% increased rate of fire for all Cruise Missile Launchers 200 added power grid need for all Cruise Missile launchers 4700m/sec base missile velocity for all Cruise Missiles (up from 3750m/sec) 14 second base flight time for all Cruise Missiles (down from 20 seconds) 25% increase in base damage for all Cruise Missiles 10% increase in signature resolution for all Cruise Missiles Please keep in mind this change is not comprehensive. Following Odyssey, we hope to do more work to improve the missile systems in EVE by potentially adding new modules and/or interactions. Look forward to hearing your feedback, as always Rise

Er, 30 seconds. Oh, it's 30 s with skills, you're talking about without skills, oh well.
Destoya Sniggerdly Pandemic Legion 70	Posted - 2013.04.16 13:30:00 - [3] - Quote Seems like a very big buff and a big step towards making cruises viable weapons outside of L4 miissions
Shpenat Pafos Technologies 36	Posted - 2013.04.16 13:30:00 - [4] - Quote looks good. Finally some sniping with cruise.
violator2k5 RogueRaiders 0	Posted - 2013.04.16 13:31:00 - [5] - Quote raven mission runners will be happy with this change, doubt it'll do much for pvp though, ravens really are not a good choice of ship for pvp in general
Naomi Knight Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 291	Posted - 2013.04.16 13:31:00 - [6] - Quote Finnaly something good for caldari :P Maybe a little more than we hoped for. We will see.

Jonas Sukarala Deep Core Mining Inc. Caldari State 86	Posted - 2013.04.16 13:37:00 - [9] - Quote intriguing changes i think people would be more likely to use them if you made them THE alpha damage platform ROF is less of an issue i think. -increase the missile velocity much more/reduce flight time - improve tracking New modules? .... TD changes at all? 'Tech3 ships need to be put down, like a rabid dog drooling everywhere in the house, they are out of line' CCP Ytterbium Nerf missile range into place..... where is the TD missile change?-á ,...projectiles should use capacitor.

Look forward to hearing your feedback, as always Rise Damage up by 31.6%, volley up by 25%, wow.

Jonas Sukarala Deep Core Mining Inc. Caldari State 86	Posted - 2013.04.16 13:47:00 - [15] - Quote I would suggest on all missiles to reduce there ROF for more damage.... for 2 reasons - reduce server lag - missiles ought to do more alpha than a bullet 'Tech3 ships need to be put down, like a rabid dog drooling everywhere in the house, they are out of line' CCP Ytterbium Nerf missile range into place..... where is the TD missile change?-á ,...projectiles should use capacitor.

The giveaway is the bit where Rise states "First we will increase their damage by around 30%".

Unless of course, when CCP Rise refered to Scan Resolution on the weapons, he meant explosion velocity. I believe he meant explosion radius though, which would mean it would be harder to apply damage to a target. Especially so without painters. All in all though, I think these cangese will be a good start. Can't wait to try them on SiSi. MODULAR DRONES MORE ORE SHIPS

You know about huggin/rapier right ? Oh, and the Raven just got a 7th mid slot.

Btw 1 web or tp should be enough to apply its dmg vs battleships. That's not much.
Anthar Thebess REPUBLIKA ORLA C0VEN 89	Posted - 2013.04.16 14:04:00 - [29] - Quote Increase alpha damage at the cost of rate of fire. Smaller lag - and will have bigger use in PVP - as still missiles have to FLY. This way Raven could be used as some anti capital platform.
