I'm changing the racial damage bonus to all damage types.
Thats from the stickied drone thread in this forum.
Tux was quick to change the racial damage bonus for drone ships to a general one after complaints. When will we see the same willingness by Tux and TomB to listen to us who have said the very same thing about the caldari ships Kinetic missile only damage bonus to most of the caldari missile ships, for example the cerebrus? No the raven has nothing to do with this so leave it out of it.
The situations are similar so why should gallente be given a perk such as this and caldari not?

Why shouldn't I compare the bonus on my Dominix with the bonus on my Raven

You misunderstand me. I say people should not compare the raven to other missile ships. As they usualy do when they claim missile ships do not need general damage bonuses.
Firstly ravens do not have a damage bonus, it has a RoF bonus. And secondly it is not the only missile ship. All others suffers from a Kinetic missile only damage bonus.

Jesus, shut your whining.
At least your battleships have USABLE bonuses, and not the Typhoon junk bonus/junk slot/junk everything setup we get.
As someone recently mentioned, Minmatar are far far behind the
other races in most every way. But you dont hear us hanging on every word, every sentence, and every semantic possiblity.
Work with what you got until the fix comes around. We've been doing it for ages.

In fact, I've just changed my mind.
I support Caldari changes, and missile un-nerfs, etc. If only to get it out of the way so we can have some constructive posts back on the forums.

Id hardly call the tempest junk. It outperforms my raven any day. Just ask Wayreth for comparisons.
So take your flame bait and topic hijacks elswhere. This is about the damage bonus to missiles and that problem has been around for quite a while. kk thanks.

Looking around myself, the only caldari ship I was able to find that has a kinetic missile bonus and doesn't have a counterpart in the other races is the caracel (and its elite version the cerberus of course), good thing you used that one for the example  .
Could be wrong but I think I remember Tuxford mentioning somewhere in the first mk 2 ships thread that he was considering making the damage bonus half to all missiles damage and half to kinetic (Note : Thermal Drones are already the most damaging, I gather they want to keep at least a little edge in kinetic damage in the missiles) Anyhow, for now I would reccomend the new Mk2 ships thread as the avenue you pursue as regards that issue (if the caracel gets the change he was considering, the cerberus likely would too after all)

It's not as if the Gallente are getting a boosted beyond what they currently have with regards to damage, in essence the genral damage bonus will keep the damage with all types of drones as they are now. The thermal damage bonus was only on the table as a possibility not an absolute. So really the Gallente aren't getting boosted or nerfed in regards to their damage if the general damage bonus sticks rather than a thermal one ...which would actually be a nerf to the damage of all none thermal drones.
There is little point in moaning about what the Gallente do or don't have or will or wont have, especially as the changes haven't even been put on the test sever yet, to my knowledge at least.
As far as drone damage goes the status quo looks set to continue for the Gallente, so this isn't really about drones is it? ...it's just more ranting on about missiles, which we all know are having problems currently and we really don't need reminding every 10th thread.

It means what it reads: racial bonuses get changed to all damage bonuses, which applies to all races for ships that only have one damage type bonus.
So yes it applies to missiles.
@disgruntled Minmatarr pilots: stop your whining and start your own threads with your own concerns about your ships instead of hijacking others' threads. Don't be surprized if some (not necessarily Caldari) prove you wrong about how your ships suck though.

The thing is the changed their mind about racial damage for drone ships to global damage bonus. Why then don't they do the same for missile ships (not only caldari ones, but also breacher and inquisitor). Anyway I don't fly them, but right now it doesn't make sense for me.

Well, Caldari ships with kinetic missile damage bonus would be: Heron, post-Mk2 Condor, Kestrel, Crow, Raptor, Manticore, Caracal and Cerberus ... while the missile ships of other races get their damage-specific boosts as well, it doesn't make the basic concept any less silly and inconvenient ^^;;

Agreed. Lets change all damage bonuses to non-racial ones. Racial damage is pointless IMO.

You dont really believe that do you????  the only ship you can take solo to 0.0 (if any)other than ceptors is a Vagabond lol. What is that Caldari??? The best sniper in game for solo AND fleet action is Tempy. What is that? Gallente?

I do not own caldari ships, nor am able to fly them, nor am willing to fly them.
Its simply ...... weird. Why should they excel only in kinetics?
gice them their 5% damage/level like the other dreads already.

Because for missiles it was a bonus. For the drones, it is just keeping them up to par with the damage that they do now. In effect, the +1 drone per level and the 10% extra damage per level is the same bonus. Now close the thread.

My Cerberus sucks even when using kinetic missiles against a target that is vulnerable to that damage type. If assault/heavy missile launcher would do enought damage, we wouldnt need to have that discussion about damage types. Kinetic isnt that bad at all ...

I actually agree with this. One of the great things about missiles is they can be used (theoretically) for any damage type. Giving a bonus to only one damage type seems to be uneccesarily restrictive, and, well, not a really great bonus tbh. Kinetic is not a particularly great damage type either.
BTW I am a Gally and can fly tech 1 Caldari ships; I never do though (6.2 mill gunnery 4tw).

Unfortunately not. This quote has to be read in its context, eg. the drone thread. I really doubt it meant that he would change missile bonii too (as he didn't say anything about this in the MK2 thread).

[size=4]This is why drones gets all damage types[/size]
Caldari launchers only get kinetic bonus damage for their launchers, a heavily tanked damage type. They lost the all damage types bonus, but they still kept their fixed number of launcher slots.
Gallente drone carriesr however, lost TEN drones. The racial ship bonus of 5 drones was to be made up with the thermal damage bonus, a heavily tanked damage type.
So whereas caldari missle boats still have their 3,4,5,6,7,8 launchers; gallente do not have their 8 or 15 drones, they just had a lame damage bonus.

Yes I totally agree we need to scrap Racial Damage entirely.
Furthermore as Ive moaned about it in other threads I might aswell continue it here. Will we see any type of EWAR Missiles. I mean Christ why should Drone users be the only ones to be able to sacrfice their Damage Output for EWAR abilities. The ones which would benefit most are the Blackbird and Scorpian, Which have very poor damage as is.If they could have missiles which worked as ECM Projectors,Webbers and all the other new abilities drones are getting it would increase the usfulness of the ships greatly.
Not only that but ships like the Cerberus which have to dedicate nearly all of its Mid slots to a poor tank would find giving up a single launcher slot to disrupt the targets Turrets or Web its target a massive help to the ship.

I'm Gallente and I support giving the Caldari an all around damage bonus.
For those ships that will be recieving two damage bonii, you can have the kinetic changed to all around, and one changed to ROF.

Fine. I take it that the 10% bonus is being changed to 5%, Tux?
Versatility means you must do lower overall damage. Period. Same goes for missiles. You get all damage types, you get half the bonus.

Not really. With the 10% bonus the drones do exactely the dmg they did before the changes (correct me if I'm wrong. think I read that somewhere in this thread). Why should the damage be lowered? I don't think drones are subject of 'nerfage' in terms of damage.

If it sticks at 10% the Dominix will do the same DPS as it does today. Regardless of drones used (as long as the comparison is new vs old with same setup)
Drone A doesn't do the same damage as Drone B as long as Drone A and Drone B isn't the same drone. I.e. if Berserker does 100 damage, the Ogre does 125 damage.
How's that for "less damage if more versetile"?
Oh, and stop griefing one weapon type just because you feel your own is inadequate.
To get missiles to a point of equality to drones, there needs to be more done than just blanket missiles for +5% to all damage. Although I am not against Gallente assault ships getting +40% resistance to all, though, instead of their current resistances...
Right. So now we need to balance missiles so they, too, can get a +5% bonus to all without removing racial dmg |
