Right.
So lets stop with the personal attacks, bad slippery slope arguments, and sarcastic responses. I created this thread for collecting constructive ideas on fixing missiles. If you don't have anything constructive to say, then don't bother posting.
Nevyn Auscent - Ali Aras (CSM) picked up part of my question in the CSM Town Hall last month, and said she would talk to CCP Rise about Missile SP:
Ransu Asanari wrote:With regards to the Gunnery Tiericide change coming in Rubicon which removes the prerequisite of requiring one size gun to be fully trained before training the next, the Dev Blog states CSM approval was given for this change. In the discussions around this change, was it considered how removing the training requirement would cause an imbalance in SP investment compared to missile users? It costs more SP to train missiles to an equal weapon size compared to gunnery, but because it could be done without training the previous size fully, it allowed missile users to specialize faster. Now that this difference is being removed in Rubicon, can the CSM bring up a proposal on unifying Missile and Gunnery SP training times to address this imbalance?" Answer: I didnGÇÖt get to this one, although itGÇÖs a little GÇ£can you make ccpGÇ¥. That said, you did ask *us*. This is something IGÇÖll look into and talk to Rise about. Frankly, I think missiles need a whole rebalance once we see how RHMLs and new RLMLs work out, and a skill change would fit there.
Malcanis if you could answer that first part of the question, I think that would be helpful, as I asked about it earlier in the thread, and I still haven't seen an answer. Would information on the discussion around decoupling the Gunnery skill prerequisites be in the CSM minutes, or are they not available/NDA?
You are right that Cruise Missiles got a significant buff in Odyssey, and I've seen a few Raven/Typhoon doctrines flown by Darkness of Despair and Pandemic Legion, but infrequently or as tests. I haven't flown Battleship sized weapons yet so I can't really comment on how effective they are.
I posted some other concerns that might be good to look into when planning a refocus for missiles in this thread. I'll try to edit my original posts to add some more detail and references when I have a chance. |
