its an issue on a caracal yes.

but a kestrel is a different story. kestrel vs corm, the kestrel has far better lock range.

a kestrel vs harpy, the kestrel has better range. a kestrel can hit targets at 97km just using rigs.

ive got a kessy right now thats cap stable with a lock range at 126km, a top speed of 2815m/s, and a missile range of 97km.

these new computers will increase my range even further.

They really put CCP's best and brightest on this one.

LOL, so small minded.

Not to complain, but the new missile modules make me a little sad. Missiles and turrets are becoming more and more similar and bland. With the new modules, the only substantial difference between missiles and projectiles will be flight time.

Well that, and the fact turrets are viable.

Different game mechanic than missile stats.

No item that adds raw HP or a percentage of HP is stacking penalized.

Every item that modifies weapon performance except missile rigs is stacking penalized. The missile rigs becoming stacking penalized is a necessary, albeit horribly ill-timed, step to maintain consistency with core game mechanics. I see it as a bug fix more than anything. To those who are saying that the lack of penalty made up for poor performance, I say that the problem is with missiles, not the rigs. Letting one set of rigs stay bugged for years to compensate for poor missile performance says a lot about how bad off missiles really are overall.

Then maybe they could fix the issue while fixing the rigs instead of giving us a sub-par mod as an excuse to be touching missile and fix the stacking irregularity.

Which is not missile specific. What don't you get?

Now we need only some effective EWAR that works on missiles.

Even Bombers don't use Torps.

Eh...

I started with Caldari. For PvE, Caldari ships are pretty awesome. In fact, they're still pretty awesome.
However, when I want to PvP, I almost never pick Caldari for obvious reasons. With these new changes to missile modules, I'm contemplating spamming someone at CCP with requests for a SP refund.

These new modules aren't fixing the problem. Furthermore, I don't expect to see a return of Heavy Missiles either. Since their damage wasn't exactly the main problem anyway.
Lastly, what hulls use Torpedoes? I'm honestly curious. I can't remember the last time I've seen anyone use Torps in PvP. Even Bombers don't use Torps.

uhh, yeah they do.

smart bombs

I don't think I've posted today, so I figure I'll have a little fun.
When rise announced, earlier in the year, that missiles were going to get some attention I was a bit excited and decided to start some missile-specific cross-training. As it stands now, I think I'll probably wind up dumping missiles for turrets if this trend continues. I already have trouble applying missile damage without dedicated support and this is another step in a long line of "nerfs" to missiles that really serve to push turret skills further up my skill queue.
/rant Since I am nearly positive that no one at CCP has bothered to dirty their hands with this "feedback thread" for at least a week.

Can't remember the last time I was flying in Null and thought to myself "Better watch out for those bomber torps!"
