Sad and happy at the same time.

Rise is officially the anti-solo.

We have CCP pospone the release to the rapid chances, and have them take a real hard look into fixing them. Adding any reload time over 10sec for any weapon system is crazy and a slippery slope. There are other ways, I pointed out a pretty good way to fix the issue, it would need tested and adjusted but it would work, and I'm sure many others have had great ideas also. In a whole new missile luancher needed to be made fine, but I don't believe it does.

Rapid Missile Launcher Issues

The issues rapid launchers have are
1.They have amazing range, with the ability to do what close range guns and missiles and long range guns and missiles do in one.
2.A targets speed doesnGÇÖt affect the damage they do, in EVE every weapon is affected by speed.
3.They are a weapon system designed to work against smaller targets, while they do this; they also work just as well against targets of the same size, and sometimes even larger targets.

How to fix these issues
1.Have rapids use rockets and heavy assault missiles. This would fix the range issue but still on certain ships they would still have 20km to 30km range. This would also add to their explosion radius and take away from their explosion velocity, which is a big issue with them not being affected by speed.
2.They would need to have their rate of fire increased anywhere from 2 to 5 seconds to make sure they arenGÇÖt so effective against ships of the same size or larger.
3.Ships that use them Cruisers, Battlesruisers, and Battleships would need any bonuses they give to explosion radius or velocity not applied to rapid launchers.
4.Also the T2 missiles for rockets and heavy assault missiles will not make them OP like the T2 missiles did for heavy missiles and light missiles. As one is for higher damage at having less range and better explosion radius and the other adds range at less damage.

I believe this would fix a great deal of issues with rapids. It would need to be tested on SiSi, and adjusted as needed, but it would work. So CCP cancel the new rapid changes and hold them a till the next patch, and test out this theory and let's see if it doesn't fix the issues, I'd at least like to try something, anything else then adding to the reload time. Please like this if you rather have rapid changes pushed back to the next patch and looked more into!

With RMLs the m/s of cruisers doesn't affect the damage that the cruier takes, with speed or none RLMs do the same damage per volley. The test I did with RLMs and HAMs showed this, the RML never change the amount of dmage they did no matter the speed of cruiser. Sorry I should have explained that better

It's called cherry picking. Sure there was a lot of disorganized rage posts, but there were also some very well thought out posts by pvp vets saying the change was a bad idea. The bottom line is that Rise is full of ****. Not much more to it than that.

Take this hair-brained scheme elsewhere.
No one wants to use rockets and heavy assault missiles in place of light and heavy missiles, forfeit the training they already have and then require two SP trees for a single weapon system. Stop spamming this thread and the rest of the forums.

CCP Rise - I haven't flown one yet because I'm super cheap and scared to lose money. I actually almost bought a Golem to try RHML the other day but then I saw 1.3b and decided to wait =P

RLML got their tweak, and they might need further tweaking

See my slightly earlier post were he said he doesn't test on the servers, he uses EFT/Pyfa with Fozzie. (He also likes to drop the soap)
