Shots that actually miss. Picture.

troll/shop'd?

This feature is still in its early stages, and has a few limitations:

• It's only visible for your own turret shots, or those being aimed at you. Fleet battles otherwise look much like TQ.
• The first shot when you start cycling your weapons will always look like it hits, sorry.
• There are definitely bugs with the Singularity version which have been fixed already.

But that aside, please do provide feedback!

Look what I found in Test Server Feedback sub-forum:




I LOVE YOU CCP

Now I need a new signature!

Confirming guns that "miss" will visually render a "miss" if you are the shooter. If you are being shot at they will be rendered visually as misses. If two other players are shooting at each other misses will only be rendered on their screens, not yours. This has at least been my observation thus far.

This is clearly a first run at this and I'd expect things to be more ironed out once patch progresses and we get closer to winter expansion.

Reads signature...

I have to agree youll need a new one now.

I doubt it's going to show everyones hit/miss animations, as that would be extremely lag inducing. Probably at some point what will happen is that ships within a certain range will have the hit/miss animation, and out of like say a 40km range of the camra, it will show the standard animation, since you can't tell whether it's hitting or missing at that range. Besides, in small gang fights, your only going to be focusing on either yourself or your target anyways, right? And in larger fleet fights, all the animations shall be turned off.

Unfortunately, this won't make the alliance tournament any more epic.

Missile trails. When missile misses, it loops back and continues to search for target. (for a short period of time) (when time expires it explodes)

That would be sweet :D

Now if they could make missiles, torpedoes to miss/shoot by. and drones miss. I haven't checked either of this on sisi but I don't think it does.

There would be less torpedo explosion spam on the screen for a plus too.

missiles? missing?

Technically missiles dont miss.
They just run out of fuel

I don't know why we made this feature since you guys never miss anything

More info about this forthcoming in a video blog, hopefully today.

why not if i execute high speed maneuvers?

Yeah bad idea.

I'm really glad to see this happen. It looks especially awesome for some weapons.

CCP, for some extra polish, you should find a way to stop turret animations tracking inappropriately. For example, if shoot at a ship that's orbiting me at high speed with artillery, the path of the firing animation will track the target in a way that just doesn't make sense. The only weapons that it makes sense for are lasers.

It also looks a bit odd when lasers miss their target, for the entire duration of each laser beam 'burst' to be fixed relative to the target. What would look infinitely more awesome would be for the beams to strafe around the target, as if they were trying to find their bead. For blasters, rails, ACs and artillery, shots should just continue in the direction they were fired in for the duration of the animation.

Of course, I'm being finickity and what you've done is fantastic. But there's always room for improvement...

I have a question,

Say I miss my target, and there is a ship directly behind, inline with the trajectory of my missed shot, will it hit the second target?

Almost certainly not, that'd require a major rewrite of the physics engine.

And it would make Concord so busy correcting accidental spree shooters in hi-sec.

Those who've been with us from the start probably remember all the surprise fun caused by torpedo splash damage before we removed it. Cross-fire, splash damage and random factors in general are really cool...but they sometimes have downsides :)

Very impressive!

Now, if only we could stop flying through planets.

IDEA:
client allready have data from server is it missed, perfect shot, light shot, scratch...
why not use that... perfect shots shot where it shot now (in middle of the ship) all other have some offset by the data given.. so it hits a little up/down/left/right from center... that way we visually have few groups of offsets and not all shots hit in perfect middle of the ship when it hits...

Best. Winter. Ever.

^^ Look at this idea please.

a lot of these recent features concerning the eve winter expansion have been hit and miss

but this feature is a definite hit
