It's a completely neutral change with respect to PvE. In fact if you're smart about how you do your volleying and co-ordinate with drones, etc, using time spent warping between rooms to reload and so forth, you should be able to parley this change into a useful advantage. |

Cap stable logi have no real resource for depletion. RR should have ammo and long reload timers. This adds additional decisionmaking to fleet fights, where a side that can properly stagger reps gets a big advantage over an unorganized fleet that just spams all their reps at once. |

I'm not a huge fan of the idea, but I understand the theory behind it. However I would propose that rather than making the change to Rapid Light, as well as the new soon-to-be Rapid Heavy, you JUST do it to the Rapid Heavy.
Call it a trial period.. see how it works, and how gameplay will adapt out of it, while leaving the existing Rapid Lights in their current roll.
Now my objections are, the comparison to ASB's.. ASB's can do what they do because they are so overpowered. They are.. Add to that the fact that most ships fit an ASB about their class (my Moa has an XL ASB.. that's two above it's hull class, likewise my Cyclone..) just increases the issue. It NEEDS the long reeload to make up for how silly OP it is when it is running. These changes don't have that. I don't see in the stats you making Rapid Lights/Heavies silly OP during their active time, to justify the fact that in the reload time they will easily rep back to full health while continuing to apply DPS to you. |

Eh, I'm not sure that the RMLs will be useful for ganking even after this change. It will take longer than 30s (which is the maximum CONCORD response time IIRC) to empty them, and even then, they'll still do less damage than the HAMsTorps you could fit instead. |

So a brief bit of intense excitement while you pour out the damage followed by a long period of boredom while you wait for the reload. It's a microcosm of PvP in EVE. How poetic. |

The #ships you kill before reload depends on clipsize not dps. the clipsize is smaller therefore youll kill less before reload. I think you missed the point in my response. You'll only need a few volleys (at most) to kill most ship types in an L2, which means with a 35% improvement to rate of fire you can more quickly dispense any ships aggro'ing you. With maximum skills, a minimum of 3 ballistic controllers and +3/+5 damage/rate-of-fire implants I think you'll be looking at under 2 seconds per volley with Caldari Navy faction RLMLs (since it's about 3-seconds for me now). Faction launchers hold a bit more ammunition (my guestimate would be about 25 rounds). That translates into roughly 50 seconds of rapid firing before reload. Justin Einstein wrote:Exactly. Even if it only takes a couple of volleys to kill each ship, there are a lot of ships in missions, and 18 capacity is a lot less than 30 or whatever it is now and 10 sec is a lot less than 40 sec. Capacity is ninety (90) with Caldari Navy RLMLs. Points to ponder: GÇó If the 40-second reload is fine, perhaps the 75% reduction in ammunition supply is to steep (perhaps 50%) GÇó If the new ammunition level is fine, perhaps the rate of fire increase should be 50% (instead of 35%)
Do note that someone doing L2's will not have anything close to maximum skills Also you're talking about a 75% magazine reduction on rapid lights. |

Err...looks like to me sustained DPS is going down considerably so no it is not a neutral change. If I'm wrong please show me the math. |

so there are two ideas i am really digging here
1. rapid cruise missile launchers. (lets make the pheonix usefull)
2. all RR will work like ASB or AAR
what i would do is still make both use cap to activate but without charges (cap booster for shield nanite for Armor)
they run at 75% effectivness but with charge in they get a 225% boost (make it so there is max 5 cycles before reload and make reload one min)
if you did this RR would finally be balanced with internal reps. |

You can continuously do dps in the new model as easily as you can in the current model. When your first group of launchers are empty and start reloading you are using another group of launchers, and when group 2 is empty group 1 has already reloaded!. This means you are doing dps all the time, there is no stop in damage application. You can always shoot. |

*time warp to two weeks from now with this change to rlml's in*
A small gang fight somewhere in the Great Wildlands.
We're on Calamitous-Intent comms, while [7-2]'s nano knights are doing glorious battle with several times as many brawling cruisers accompanied by lots of hero tackle.
Corpie 1: "Couple new tacklers on dscan" Corpie 1: "On grid now" Corpie 2: "Crow X is coming in on for my Vagabond, can't track him" Corpie 2: "F*** I'm scrammed by X" Corpie 2: "You awake Kaeda? Kill this bloody Crow already, stop sucking" Kaeda:
Answer A: "Sorry I'm still reloading for 25 seconds from killing the previous tacklers" Answer B: "Sorry my Heavies aren't doing any damage to him" Answer C: "Sorry can't hit him with my HAMS/Sorry my HAMS aren't doing any damage to him"
Corpie 2 (shortly after the death of his Vagabond): "Bring a bloody useful ship next time Kaeda f***ing missiles lol you bad"
And that night my missile cruisers went back to being hangar ornaments again and did not pass start or live happily ever after. |

While I agree with this in concept, in application a high alpha-strike to dps ratio doesn't work unless you have enough alpha damage to actually remove the target either in one shot, or perhaps 2 in the case of insufficient reps.
In this case, your not talking about alpha-strike, but just extraordinarily high dps over a short period of time. All the time you are firing he may be repping. Then your dps stops for 40 seconds, during which time he will still be repping. I don't know about you, but I've never seen a pvp local tank that isn't completely repped up in 40 seconds, especially in the day of ancillary armor/shield reppers.
If you can't break his tank in the first cycle, you probably never will. But just as 40 seconds is a long time in pvp, so is 50 seconds. I'm willing to try a RLML Sacrilege. Could be interesting.

Funny point imo:
No cruiser that flies solo will have a flat 20k ehp. They are either AAR+800 plate, AAR+MAR, LSE-tanked, single XL-ASB(moa) or buffergank without real damage or HP. Aside from the scenario against a pure buffer fit, peaking at a higher dps-output is always better - being able to apply the same amount of damage in half the time is all but a drawback, even if you got to reload for 40secs (which is nothing compared to the advantages given)
Or else, the average T1 cruiser with exile (guessing that if solo, you'd either do a nanofit or something ancillary armor) tanks less than 300/500 dps/sec, so unlike before you can now even overcome his active tanking and let him bleed structure already while his reps are still 100% up, so he'll bleed structure once and maybe survive - but certainly die during his second reload. Atm any active armorcruiser can tank a single caracal NP. Cannot see how this is anything but a huge buff to rapids. |

I think what could make the RML, and the RHML much more interesting and fun would be to add a reload time per missile rather than as a whole. For example if you have 20 missiles and a reload time of 40 seconds instead of waiting the full 40 seconds to reload why not just reload an individual missile every 2 seconds. This would still create the same reload time at the end of the day but give the user the option to reload 5 missiles in 10 seconds and than fire them all off for the reload again. Anyways just a thought this could possibly be a fix that would make the 40 second reload times less painful |

The problem with the is the "EFT effect". It can look great on paper, but being sans firepower for 40 seconds sucks in a real game situation. I fear that these new Rapid launchers will go the way of the dodo, or target lock breaker that next to no one uses.
