Only really true for turrets, because in missiles the second coefficient term has an exponent. x5^n/x5 is not strictly proportional change to x5/x5

In any case... I don't see why a Jackdaw losing to a Caracal is a cause for alarm.

Haven't T3Ds made enough ship classes obsolete yet? Whether Jackdaw deserves the same praise or not. It's more alarming that people go on about how they can't kite in this.
Just keep on snowballing EVE into a Dot Versus Dot simulator, right? If I may be hyperbolic, how soon can we expect small ships to project damage from one edge of the grid to another? And have enough speed to cover the distance for the last, heroic, "well deserved" 80km tackle.

So what is the verdict? Is it even worth chasing down?

I see someone lost a 8 bill Jackdaw. Wonder how he feels about it.

I don't know what people mean by it being slow, it's faster than every t1 destroyer in the game

It's also slower than my hurricane out of prop mode (and that 'cane has hyperspatials so it warps faster too)....so...yeaaaaaaah.

Looking at the current bonus scheme, I would actually suggest adding the Caldari 5% kinetic damage. It would help level this ship out against the Svipul (which is currently crushing it on the KBs).

Otherwise it seems to be doing a reasonable job so far.

1mn ab 11pg - 10mn ab 55pg? Wut? 100mn ab 650pg??

Jeebus that 10mn is just messed. Should be like 100pg.

My suggestion about the Jackdaw is more of a graphical nature..

I fly it alot last few days, i love what you did to it, its the best small missile boat currently out there. The only problem with it is..
Where is the Bridge?
I have no feeling for the ship beeing a ship, i feel like im flying a piece of metal with launchers.. All the other caldari ships have the bridge somewhere, but Jackdaw has it nowhere to be found..
Im sure this will be dismissed easily but if possible this graphic tweak would mean alot to im sure alot of people and not just me once they notice it : )

And that's what prop mode is for. Only a duo-nano/OIS cane is faster than it out of prop mode, and with a OSI and a engine housing a jackdaw is faster than that fit overheated.

I also doubt your cane aligns faster than an interceptor (which I find bizarre).

I like the jackdaw for small gang/brawling potential. Anything bigger than that, and its pretty much useless. Especially as LML configuration.
Forget kiting big fleets with this hull. At least with the confessor you can make that work. And if your stuck with any kind of tidi, you'll be so much more happy that you stuck with confessor. You will at least have instant damage application with your lazors. And from what I could tell, much more consistent damage application.

Jackdaw burns through rockets like crazy...
Got a 8.4km rage range and it fires the second volley before the first even hits...

I'm going to be spending a lot on ammo for this thing.... assuming it survives that long.

It does burn through them, but therein lies the other reason for going rockets instead of LML, rate of fire. I can see a lot of situations when brawling when the quick rate of fire is going to make all the difference between wrecking or getting wrekt. Especially when you are fighting small ships, you don't want to explode because your quarry survived the first volley and popped you before your second volley even goes off.

Once again another reason to love the confessor.

I consider my fit to be reasonably sound, able to fight off linked garmurs at a pinch as well as some unlucky chap found out today. Getting pointed at 45km away makes me upset.

It can hit to 70 km, it has flight time of 7.5 and a cycle of 6, you aren't wasting shots.

My preferred fit has managed to get LML, a T2 MSE, and combat probes. The people complaining about tight fits don't use nongank destroyers and the other D3 set a bad bar.

Damps are suddenly your friend when that happens.
