Hi,

I currently have the navy scorpion, I have 6 heavy missile launchers on it (which is the max)

My dps atm is pretty low and although lvl 2's are easy, they take a long time for me because of my low damage.

I really like my missiles and was wondering how to get more dps? I have trained som skill levels at heavy missiles and such and I have 2 missiles rigs, more damage and "cooldown"

Currently, I can't see any way for me to get more dps without training for many weeks in skills, anybody know any other ways?

My missile launcher has a dps of 18 with faction missiles and a range of 43. Should I use any other launcher for me dps?

PS. I dont want to lose alot of range.

I appreciate any answer, thx.

Skills, lots of skills - if your dps is 18 for a faction missile every relevant skill level will make a difference (look at the certificate planner for good missile skills)

Keep flying that Navy Scorp if you want to lose it.

What do you mean I will lose it? :P

A caracal is probably better but i feel pretty safe in a navy scorpion :)

Fitting HML's to a navy scorp is a warcrime in some constellations. Somebody may put your ship out of its misery.


Get a drake. Drakes are brick walls.

:S

What launchers are best on a drake? Does every ship have some launchers or turrets they are best with?

May I ask what a scorpion will be good for, since apparently doing lvl 2's with it is not a good idea.

A Navy Scorp when properly fit is a wreck factory in pvp.

I suggest you learn a bit more about the game before dropping plex for expensive ships.

For L2 missions, with missile skills, use a Caracal, Corax, Talwar or Bellicose. The destroyers (Talwar, Corax) will be best suited to the role, use light missiles and afterburner or MWD to maintain range, but you will need good shield support skills and navigation skills to reliably complete missions with the ship intact (shield operation, shield management to 4), and use a shield booster with 1 hardener, no expanders.

The caracal or drake are the best heavy missile platforms: heavy missiles are good for blowing up frigates. The Navy Scorpion is a cruise missile or torpedo platform: neither missile type is suited to blowing up frigates.

With decent missile, shield and navigation skills and a decent meta-3 Corax you will be blowing up L2 mission frigates with one or two light missiles, L2 mission cruisers in a couple of salvos. I still use the Corax in L3 missions, but only because I am a masochist.

My typical missile boat fit involves overdrive injector(s), ballistic controls, MWD, and a full rack of the best launchers I can get my hands on. For mission running, I sometimes spend more on the launchers and ballistic controls than the hull is worth (i.e: T2 launchers and ballistic control on a Corax).

I find the Corax more entertaining to fly than the Caracal. But I am a masochist, so coming home from a mission with hull damage means I had a few heart-in-my-mouth moments, which is what I find entertaining. With the Caracal you are setting yourself up for RSI: target stuff as quickly as you can, press the individual missile launcher buttons as fast as you can, get back to base as fast as you can, accept the next mission as fast as you can GǪ wash, rinse, repeat.

The Caracal becomes entertaining in L3 missions. The Drake is a reliable performer for L2-4 missions.

The Navy Scorpion becomes useful for fleets where you have web and painter support, and you have the right missile system fitted, and you have excellent missile skills. It is useful for Incursion fleets, for example.

caracal with rapid light for lvl2 missions
drake with heavy or heavy assault for lvl3 missions
