Slightly back off topic... Why do missiles get hard to hit with when you use the short-ranged, high dps version? Guns you get better tracking when you use blasters vs rails, or AC vs arties. But torps vs cruise or HAM vs HML? Nope, you either get long range low dps that has better "tracking" or short range high dps but the "tracking" sucks.
If this same mechanic was applied to guns people would be rage quitting the game. Why are missiles like this?

I would be happy with the current missiles but with non-rig slot modules added to boost explosion velocity, sig radius, flight time, and flight velocity...

That would create massive balancing issues and would force CCP to nerf base stats a bit in order to allow for upgrades to not get silly. Not sure we'd want to open that can of worms, besides; there's painters and since explosion radius is more important than velocity it works fine.
Not really. If they made them low slot mods we lose damage/armor tank
If they made them med slots we lose ewar/shield tank.
Its balanced just like TE/TC are.
They can balance the %s of the bonus on the modules far easier than re-balancing missiles.
Besides we have rigs that do the same thing. So it isn't adding any thing we can't already do. It is just adding more options.
Besides, guns have webs. So maybe we should remove TC/TEs?

In case you haven't used missiles recently, they have already been pre-nerfed pretty adequately.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.
Looking at stats in EFT, then actually USING the missile system in the game are two different things.
Missiles are laughably easy to speed tank. Even a sieged Nag with Arties (worse tracking in the game!) could hit a 10,000m/s inty if the pilot was dumb enough to fly in a straight line away from the nag. No missile system in the game could even put a scratch on that same inty.

And their base sig radius were increased to compensate. It is still lower than it was, but isn't 25% like you claim.

No missile system in the game could even put a scratch on that same inty. I have seen a Golem rip apart frigates in 3-4 vollies with torps. It has impressed me enough to start experimenting with the raven hulls and missiles in the same way I do with my Megathrons and I am liking the results.
Sounds impressive till you realise that a gun ship in the same situation could have done it in 1 volley.
