3min (BURST DAMAGE) quick check on Sisi, without comments:

RLML Cerberus

Sounds like Caracals and AFs are fairly well balanced then.

PS did the analysis include drone damage?

LOL I'm am truely surprised by how many people are so butthurt that they will no longer be able WTFBBPWN frig gangs with a single RLML cruiser....


Aw go cry a river somewhere else. Name another frig killing cruiser that uses turrets that are as effective as RLML ones? There aren't simple as that. Medium sized turrets have majore drawback when attacking small ship classes. The new RLML will still have good damage application to smaller ship but now you will have to think tactically rather than just pushing keep at range and F1.

Adapt or die!

Actually no don't adapt and die lots more

Yeah like a cynabal has never been killed by an AB frig before. Duh! have you lot only been playing for a year?!

Hell THE counter to fast mwd cruisers were AB/SCRAM/WEB frigs for years!

Oh boy!

Do you really think that what you do on grid affects the fight more than what you do off grid BEFORE you engage?! Hmmm you might need to think on that one a bit I reckon.

Ok, I did some tests with HAM dps and here are my results.
... ...
PS : I can't wait to see what naysayers will say now. :-)

PAF! I have chased load of omens out of fw plexing in my rifters FFS! Cos the target thought 'I'm an omen I'll murder a rifter!' Then suddenly they can't hit me worth a dam and his drones are dead. Then I usually burn out a module or two that makes it a draw and we warp off. RLM cruiser however is a completely different setup and the only other cruiser setup apart from bonused drone boat that I am wary of engaging in a frigate.

And no I'm not an omen hater, I actually really like the ship but really people need to stop overstating how good these cruisers are at taking out small/fast frigs. It is the player who know what he is doing that can do that not the ship itself apart from RLML ships. Currently they just press F1 and watch the frig explode. and then they go and do the same thing to crusiers as they apply 100% of their damage in 99.99% of cases to a cruiser regardless of what the cruiser tries to do.

The new version will still see a RLML murder the typical frig but won't be able to scale the results up to a target the weapons were NOT designed to take on. And HAM Caracal is one of the best RLML carcal killers out there. Seen it many mnay times in FW.

Of course, they could always simply alter the "Change Ammo" mechanic... which is what they have already said they are going to do..

The HVM and HAM work fine for killing cruisers. .

To be perfectly frank it's not that high a priority. It needs to be done, but the way these encounters usually play out is you don't switch missiles types in the middle of combat. Most pilots would rather take longer to kill the target with not - so - ideal ammo types than stop firing altogether and swap to a better ammo..

I refuse to believe you two are serious. Have fun trolling.

Hi!

As you guys know, we're introducing Rapid Heavy Missile Launchers in Rubicon for battleships that will echo the Rapid Light Launchers in design. Well, now that the current design has been out and available for discussion for awhile, we've taken on a lot of feedback and we don't feel completely satisfied with them.

T2 Rapid Light Launchers can carry roughly 18 charges
T2 Rapid Heavy Launchers can carry roughly 23 charges

Let me know what you think and keep in mind that numbers may be adjusted slightly as we continue to test.
Thanks

Are you sure? According to EFT you can do it in scram / web range using INM crystals (0.1 tracking) and somewhere between 9 and 10 km your applied damage should be about 80%. EFT aside, I remember doing it while testing things on numerous occasions but at the moment I cannot confirm EFT numbers with certainty.

EDIT: If you overheat your web and with flying to negate transversal at 11 km (where INM optimal ends) you could be able to do near full damage to afterburner fitted Merlin. Sadly, I'm unable to repeat the same fighting simulation these days so I can't tell what correct numbers are.
