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 explosion radius for all Cruise Missiles

...so you see Cruise Fury will do the same DPS as Torpedos.

CCP Rise, as the owner of 2 Caldari pilots with over 12M SP in missiles on one of them, I like those changes very much as they even go beyond my wildest dreams !

With those changes, I think we'll start seeing more Typhoon/Raven fleet concepts, which is great of course as it brings diversity

Once torps are fixed, I think we can safely say "Large Missiles are fixed".

Personally I'd still like to see missiles that are still in flight when their target is destroyed auto switch to the next target you have locked up. Of course they might not have the range left to make it to that target, but it would mean that a lot of those "wasted" volleys would still do some good... leaving the initial travel time delay as the main drawback to long range missile use.

Obviously this would be a very powerful change and would have to be carefully considered. Especially since it would likely mean that a missile boat could simply leave his missile launchers on during a fight, and as long as he had targets locked (and in the order he wanted them) he would be constantly spewing out effective damage.

I would suggest for Cruises
- nerf the ROF of cruises and increase damage so they do similar damage as arties
-nerf flight time in exchange for more velocity
-nerf range

For torps
- increase explosion velocity
-nerf ROF torps can do plenty of damage just need better tracking is all
-nerf torp range by 2km


P.s nerf rockets and HAMS whilst you're at it they have twice the range they ought too for there size.
TD changes to missiles anytime soon perhaps?

There are 2 things Torps should have buffed: Range via velocity and reduced size so you can load more.

You should have at least 30-40 torps in your launcher. Compared to other short range weapons 20 torps is a very small amount.
ACs have 120 rounds and 3x faster rate of fire, so if you compare the fair sizes it will be 40 projectiles vs 20 torps.
Blasers have 80 rounds and 2x faster rate of fire, again 40.

As for the range, it is obvious Torps need more range since they have enough drawbacks already.

If you buff the dmg torps can out DPS anything if they can hit for 100%.

if you buff range, then its easy to reach 45KM+ [well if you have all range Skills at 5 and Cadari BS at 5, you could reach 60KM maybe?]

And? 45KM is a nice range for Torps. That's what their range should be increased to as far as a Golem is concerned.

[quote]If you buff explosion velocity, it will be "too easy" to apply more DPS.

do you not realise how OP it is if cruises and torps can do as much damage if not more than blasterboats do with their tiny range where is the balance there?

The point of re-balancing them is for pvp use primarily not pve and projectiles are getting nerfed with the TE changes and i expect those hulls will get range nerfed too but thats more to do with their tracking and mobility rather than the damage.
