People actually use the RHML? :P
The problem is that there's no alternative for RLMLs. It's not like HMs or HAMs are any better. The damage application is horrible. How about you address the elephant in the room and have at least 1 decent cruiser sized launcher, instead of 3 different ones that all have issues? We just need a 'good' cruiser sized launcher. |

Because there is no alternative. What a completely useless statistic. Seriously though, what else would you fit on a Caracal? Heavy missiles? That has to be a joke right? They are even worse. You fit HMs you'll get killed by a Tristan.
CCP Fozzie wrote:Obviously the gameplay style associated with Rapid Missile Launchers isn't everyone's cup of tea, but modules don't need to appeal to every player. There are plenty of people for whom the extra damage and precision of rapid launchers is well worth the reload time, for other players there are other launcher options to choose from.
It's almost as if you're completely oblivious to just how bad it is. Do you even play this game? Have you tried roaming in a Caracal with RLML? It is a horribly mechanic. You somehow keep trying to justify it for no good reason. In fact, you're not even acknowledging there's a problem with it.
And NO, there are no other launchers to choose from. Maybe if you hadn't completely broken HMs, we'd have another launcher but as it is, we don't.

We can't. According to Fozzie it's all peachy. |

The Sac gets 25% ROF and 25% dmg from its hull bonus. That is only to heavy missiles though, so not really relevant when discussing RLML.
The CNI gets 25% ROF and 25% Expl Radius; which actually kind of puts it where RLML damage should be (maybe with a 20sec instead of 35sec reload instead. Seriously; half the time I can't even reload during gate to gate warps, 35sec is just too long).
The disturbing thing here is that devs seem to be putting a bunch of different launchers and turrets in EFT or Pyfa and then go "looks balanced to me". Everyone who's actually tried these and said "hang on; have you looked at the actual practical side of this, like at damage application or you know; fun factor" just gets ignored. What is the point of these threads if you're going to completely ignore all feedback given and instead wave around some popularity spreadsheet? |
