Kelgen Thann SUBLIME L.L.C. Prime Orbital Systems	Posted - 2006.09.17 02:19:00 - [1] Ok. Hearing people whine about how these missles can hit at all distances is getting annoying. If you die to a long range Torp Raven you need to watch Austin powers. Specifically the scene where the guy gets rolled over by the Steamroller.

Kelgen Thann SUBLIME L.L.C. Prime Orbital Systems	Posted - 2006.09.17 02:38:00 - [5] Quote: sniper raven Problem right there. No one will fight in a raven at more than 60km. You end up firing scores of missles that gently drift off into space after your target warped away.

Long-range turrets are low damage. They both hit at the same range. Torps shouldnt even have the ability to hit that far at all, they should be 30km or so MAXIMUM. Javelins are sickly overpowered.

I fly Turret ships in PvP and Raven in PvE. I've been hit with huge alphas from some ships, or have rapid rof. Each weapon type has it's advantage. Atm Torps arn't used in fleet Vs Fleet ops. In gate camps yes, T2 Cruise and T2 torps are used, but that's under 30km.

Long-range turrets are low damage I've been insta poped by a handful of sniping Turret BS. That doesn't happen with missles. The most powerful tactic fleets have is insta-poping. It eliminates Primary targets... well instantly.
Wizie Minmatar Euphoria Released Euphoria Unleashed	Posted - 2006.09.17 02:56:00 - [11] I have a very reasonable solution for this. Torps do 5 dmg at 0Km, 100dmg at 5KM, 200 dmg at 10KM, 400dmg at 20Km and max dmg at 30K+ Now stfu and stop whining about the whiners. ----------------- Sig removed by some noob
Zosimos Sabina Amarr Loot	Posted - 2006.09.17 02:58:00 - [12] If torp range is so useless, you wouldn't mind if we capped torp range with skills at 30km?

Under 1km only missles on both sides hit. I'm going to argue that turrets are overpowered, cause they do instant damage. I mean wow turret users can fire off 10 rounds before my missles get there, take me to armour, and I don't have a rep and then warp away. Nerf T2 long range ammo! I was hit instantly at 200km by a BS for each shot at 200 damage even with resistances. 8 turrets *10 volleys, that isn't fair. the enemy ship just took 1 round of torps then ran.

Nerf it by all means to 50km for T1 and 80km for T2 Javs. that's where any Torp user will use Torps, any further You'r wasting ammo on the stars and space dust I also never said I was against not changing the range. read more carefully

I've been hit by T2 turrets for 200+ damage at long ranges all the time while running tanks, T2 ammo does that, and if 2 large fleets meet you'll notice that it's all turret users. I've been playing for longer than most, and Yes missles used to be overpowered. I also use turrets. I have = skill points in both 4 mil and 4 mil. I'm interchangeable. Fleet I'd be a dumb ass to use torps at range. I'd waste ammo, not hit my targets. and miss every primary target announcement cause the turret users have poped him in 10 seconds.

Prime Orbital Systems	Posted - 2006.09.17 03:06:00 - [18] Edited by: Kelgen Thann on 17/09/2006 03:07:00 and from your statments about how missles are great at range I'd say you are one of them. I choose every day between torps or turrets for PvP. An FC calls a primary the turrets pop the primary LONG before missles make it half way. This is the case eery time. We even get asked to bring turret ships and not missle boats so we can increase the chances of Insta-poping using turrets. Insta-popping is the most overpowered tactic by far and it's a turret exclusive club.

ROFL It lets me use one turret type at Tech 2. Turrets is not a weapon type, Hybrids are one, Projectile are one, lasers 1 and Missles 1. and yes I repet myself. Cause you are too, and to a larger extent. Turrets are overpowered cause of Insta-poping (strongest strategy for fleets in the game). I gladly take part in insta-poping as a turret user. Missles can hit at all ranges, and I take part in that too. Two overpowered stratagies using opposite weapon categories. That my little friend sounds balanced. Two Gigantic swords in two very different hands.
Kelgen Thann SUBLIME L.L.C. Prime Orbital Systems	Posted - 2006.09.17 03:18:00 - [21] Only thing is there is no counter to insta-poping at all. Zero. Impossible to defend agaisnt. Missles at sniper ranges... Log off or warp away. Hence why Insta-poping is the ultimate fleet weapon. HELL you can insta pop a capital ship with turret users. I've seen it.

I've seen it. I take it the only style of PvP in Eve is a giant BS fleet with turrets then? Because the last time my Tempest instapopped something at 200K.... LOL If your definition of PvP is a fleet fight where you just lock and shoot what your FC calls... then maybe missiles suck. However, if you like the majority of Eve players dont do fleet pvp on an hourly basis.. you might reconsider your blinded opinion. There is no way a missile should do max dmg at a sniping BS range, and then do the same dmg at 0K. Either force the missiles to do 50% of there dmg up close, or force them to have a max range of some 40-50K. This in reference to Torps.. and tech II included. ----------------- Sig removed by some noob

Sansha Tyrants operate at 49km, and some other angels are pretty high too. 80km for both and that's ok. Enough for all cases. Since I'd never use torps at range I lose nothing, cause to be hit by a torp at 150km would make me even get embarrased that I got hit by it. If I say to someone I fired a bullet at your position. It will arrive as you can see in about 10 seconds... Don't move please..

LOL The only time a solo player will engage at 200km is a pirate with a tackler at scram range. Get 5 turret users at sniping distance doing 200-400 damage per turret and you get yourself an insta pop of targets caught in a bubble/dictor shpere. Get 5 torp ravens and the guy gets to speed off and then warp away.

You seem to have enough numbers to instapop everything smaller than the Sun. I'm sure you can muster enough numbers to bring out 2 interceptors to tackle? Sanshas operate at 49K, has no relevance to this discussion. Blasters only shoot upto 20K with tech II ammo. I dont see ppl complaining about there inability to kill the 49K range sansha. ----------------- Sig removed by some noob

It's the most powerful tactic in the game, and that's impossible to argue. It is the death of a player who can't do anything at all using any kind of game mechanic or strategy to prevent this. Lock fast and fire. Target goes poof before the target could select what to warp to or mash the keyboard to fire back.
Krulla Minmatar Queens of the Stone Age Chimaera Pact	Posted - 2006.09.17 03:36:00 - [30] Edited by: Krulla on 17/09/2006 03:38:26 Both sides of this argument are pretty silly tbh. At short to medium range combat, torps are god. They can do good damage to just about everything, while using no cap, and leaving the midslots for a tank and the lows for damage mods. For large group large combat, however, the balance swings to turrets - instant damage is here way more important than the versatility missiles offer. Like said, a missile ship is a waste in large group long range combat. A missile user will simply watch his missiles drift off into the void, wasted, after the target has either warped out or been destroyed. At extreme short ranges, blasters and autocannons, however, rule the field. Here, the torps do not do enough damage to outdamage the DPS of the blasterships, and are outclassed, most of the time. Both have their uses, both are equally powerful in their own right. The only problem I see is that torpedoes (specificially javelin torps, which are a bit silly) offer by far the greatest bang for the buck at medium ranges (20km-50km) - Here, ranges are short enough that travel times aren't a huge factor, but long enough so that the short range turret BS aren't effective. Wether this is broken or not is in fact arguable, and this really isn't such a huge factor (Javelin rail megas, for instance, are also quite formidable at this range, although the penalities for Javelin charges are a lot worse than for Javelin Torpedoes). The only problem with BS sized missiles atm are Javelin torps - It's quite silly to have Torpedoes with the speed and precision of cruise missiles, while the penality (speed) is in most cases rather negliable. This is the one and only problem with missiles as I see it. Torpedoes are fine, Javelin torpedoes are not.
