Unless this comes out paired with an active, scripted mid-slot module, I am against any kind of missile specific TD's.
Why?
Because Caldari ships do not typically have enough low slots to fit these in addition to Ballistic Controls which means that fitting one of these will inherently come at the expense of damage and missile speed. Allowing TD's to effect missiles on the basis of missiles FINALLY getting a specialized application mod would be a huge blunder and, I believe, a masked nerf to missile ships.
In addition to losing damage and missile speed to fit one of these modules, missiles would still be vulnerable to firewalls as well as firing into a pre-repped ship due to flight time.
For these reasons I am currently against TD's affecting missiles. Who's with me?
Also, hopefully this will come with missile tweaks that will fix some of the more... glorious of missile... features(?). *fingers crossed* |

Also, hopefully this will come with missile tweaks that will fix some of the more... glorious of missile... features(?). *fingers crossed* consider that, as you said low slot would force pilot to make decision between raw dps or application dps. I am fine with this choice. however, if they add mid-slot module as you ask. They will need to nerf missile to balance on fact every missile BS will immediate replace their TP with said module (Golem may be exception).
Just a point, I did not ask for a mid-slot module. I only stated that, without a low and mid-slot module, I am against missile-specific EWAR or TD's affecting missiles.
Also, the module would not have to infringe upon the TP, it might compliment the TP or work separately since CCP has free rein with how they would incorporate and design such a module, IF they design such a module. It is likely though that they will aim another Phoenix sized nerf bat at missiles if they do. In which case, I think I would like some time with this single module first, before my missiles once again gather dust in a hangar. |

What I'm interested in is whether battleship missile boats can finally be free of the Tyranny that is Rigor/Flare rigs, thus opening up those rig slots for more interesting fits.
How dare you expect to be able to use your rigs for something else than application?
Wait.... I thought missile ships wouldn't allow you to fit anything except Anti-EM and Rigors/Flares. I think I tried that once and got an error message saying that if I wanted variety in fits I should fly one of Fozzie's favorite ships instead... |

Unless there's a general buff to missiles, the nerf that will accompany these mods will only further the CCP goal of reducing Caldari ships to the craphole. Requiring a mid-slot to achieve the current level of meh will wreck most workable fits. Hopefully there's more going on behind the scenes.... |
