Edited by: Ching Ling on 21/10/2006 18:38:44 Hello, I have a couple Q's for missile range...
1. Is missile range = missile velocity x missile flight time? 2. AFAIK the skills Missile Bombardment and Missile Projection boost the above, and there are implants for the above too. But there are no mods for boosting these? 3. So what is the range of a cruise missile? Assuming I have bombardment 4, projection 4, and flying a Raven? 4. In Lvl 4 missions can you outrange the rats? Or is it possible to avoid most damage with cruise missile range? 5. If (4) is possible, is it advisable to do it in missions? Would you fit an AB and sacrifice a mid slot and cap for a shield hardener?
Thanks.

hey hey
1. yes 2. yep no mods that i know of 3. load the missiles whilst in a station and click on the fitting screen. Right click the missiles whilst they are in the launcher and show info. it should show you the loaded missile stats 4. yes. but it depends on the rat and your skill/speed level 5. yes. its a pretty much standard L4 tactic. warp and kill instant agro. then move out to range ans shoot while aligned and on the run. 5a. best named AB for better speed. but fittings are personal choice and i dont fly a raven to comment on Cap, tank, gheyness etc. i never used an ab on my sniper L4 tempest and i pretty much went with active hardeners. theres alot of personal choice involved :)
Gl, Fly safe.

1. Yes, approximately, calculate 10% off to be sure they hit.
2. No mods, but ship bonus. On raven 10% / caldari bs lvl.
3. With both range skills at 3, bs skill at 5 and no implants i have something ~170km. But the problem is the ship targeting range (at 86 atm, with long range targeting skill at 3). So you will have to fit 1 or 2 sensor boosters.
4. Ye in some missions where the rats are far away from the gate you can kill em before they approach. Works fine for sanshas as they don't do much dmg on distance and are death before they even come close. As far as ai know missile npcs will hit you at big distances so you can't outrange them.
5. I think that would take a lot of time to bring a raven in big ranges, you have killed most of them in that time, so no need. Maybe in some particular missions it might make sense, like enemies abound 5/5. In some missions they use mwd in deathspace or are quite close or attack right after you warped in thru acceleration gate .. so in general i can't advice this tactics. But not sure, maybe it can be a nice idea, try it

Looks like the Raven bonus is more relevant for Torpedoes than Cruise missiles.
100km+ definitely can outrange the rats.
But the problem is for most missions you cannot choose your engage distance, and moving a Raven is way too slow.
Also you have to fit sensor booster and AB so that gimps the tank a bit. ---------- EvE Ship Classes now in poster format |

Originally by: Ching Ling 4. In Lvl 4 missions can you outrange the rats? Or is it possible to avoid most damage with cruise missile range?
Npcs have all the skills maxed + they cheat. Meaning you will not be able to awoid damage from cruise missiles if firing cruise missiles yourself, unless you are constantly running away so your missiles has to fly a shorter time.
Npc torps fly about 150kmish so you will be able to awoid them and keep making damage, but you will need at least one sensor booster (propably 2 or booster+ amp). Keep in mind also that the longer your missiles fly, the better chance the defenders have hitting your missiles.
Lastly mission npcs will only be visible to you if you warp within 100km of them. So you will always have to fly the remaining distance to keep away from the torps.
Hope this helps

1. yes
2. nope
3. load cruise missiles into lauchers and do info on the missiles in the fitting screene... then you the formula on point 1.
4. yes
5. i would never ever fit enything else than tank in mids if im doing missions solo. in a raven you really dont need to out run enything... if u cant tank it... out running it wount help abit.... they will go faster than you enyways... even whit you on AB. just aligne(SP) to some station/planet/gate and if the dmg gets too big (hardly does whit decent gear(dont mean whit faction stuff)) just warp out and come back again
