Make it so TDs work on missiles.
Drone-ships are underpowered yeah? Need more incentive to fly drone ships as an adversary to neuting TD ships as opposed to flying virtually anything else. Like AC/blaster/laser and the soon to be TDd missile ships. |

-The missile tracking disruption is tacked on to tracking disruptor. Result: tracking disruptor becomes a really lucrative if not a must-have defensive module and missile ships lose tank/utility/dps to the MGE or MCE if they want to keep the current level of effectiveness. True for gunboats too in a part as the tracking disruptor becomes more common in fits.
Staple fits will include tackle, TD and drones for damage.
Hence no missile TD. Anything that these module will bring can be countered by damps. |

Nerf rockets during the missile balance package.
They project further than small ACs, have same paper DPS but apply damage better, and apply full damage to a single webbed target. ACs on the other hand deal roughly 80% of their DPS at half fall-off. Outside of 50% falloff bonused hulls, this range is usually at around 5-6km. |

I think proper balancing of missiles cannot avoid doing a full analytical breakdown. Following the dumbfire "Ishtar treatment" where you do small changes every update won't cut it.
The reality is that missiles have few real-time, reactive counters. That is burning away from the missiles and exploit their malleable effective range. That and ABs were the only real counters to missiles.
Missiles in general are not weak - the apply damage always and at ranges reaching as far as railguns. You definitely cannot apply previous turret principles to balance missiles.
Hence as the above post states, these upgrades are just a knee jerk reaction to the cries of "turrets have these modules - missiles should too" which is not a wise action. |

You just shoot drones apparently. Assuming you stand still so they can't exploit their dumb tracking bollocks and land 3 wreckings shots after the first 2 high quality hits.
Make drones missiles and exclude them from the 150% - 300% random damage! |

10 mil Lock range 72km. Whats the lock range with 3 sensor disruptors on (celestis)? Point of argument is people saying no ewar currently counters missiles.
Does it matter?
Your enemy is kiting you at 100km, edge of their lock range. You damp with one damp and they lose almost half of their lock range.
I mean, outside of cruise missiles that reach 200km, what else is there? LMLs reach 100km on select hulls, but outside of that, would it really matter? |
