Hi guys
just thought about something crazy...i love long range combat, with my missiles...not that missiles are that useful, but just for the fun part :P...i took a look at the new rigs, and thougt about something nice :)...
lets say you got Caldari Battleship on lvl 4, missile bombardment on lvl 5 and missile projection on lvl 4-5...that gives a awesome boost to your missiles allowing you to shoot at ranges of 200 km ;)...im talking about cruise missiles, right now...
and now for the fun part :P...took a look at the rigs...how about fitting some velocity and flight time rigs on the raven...with those rigs you should be able to get a optimal range of up to 300 km :O...that is a insane range...
don't know if i have calculated it right, but i ended up on 311 km...tough i took 1 rig to much...and i didnt took the maxed skills in my calculation...my skills are Caldari bs lvl 3, missile bombardment lvl 3 and missile projection lvl 4...so at the end you should be able to shoot at ranges of 300km+....i know the targeting range is below that, but im only building a fun raven, so im gonna fit 3-4 sensor boosters :)
so now tell me what you think about my crazy plan? :)...any thoughts?

hmm why is the max locking range on 250 km??...if you got 260 km on your ship, you cant shoot that long, or what? :)...
hmm yea, its pretty expensive...but would be awesome to have a ship like that...popping enemys at insane ranges...

Hehe well he might just fit some FOF missiles and try to catch a very fast ship beyond the 250 km

Yup, it's not possible to lock a target beyond 250 km

CCP hard-capped the max sensor lock range at 250km. Presumably to stop ultra long-range gate camping from beyond sentry gun range and battleship fleets slugging it out at 300km. They want folks to mix it up in close quarters... except Caldari it seems (although the long range ammo does pathetic damage I guess it stacks up if you have 20+ BS focus-firing).
Longest range ship atm is the Rokh with 425mm T2 railguns, pilot with battleship 5 skill gets 50% range bonus. Add sensor boosters and tracking computers to that and hitting 250km is no problem.

Missiles can reach pretty far, altho they take weeks to arrive at their target. other then that the rohk outranges them all :)

just done the calcutlations...dunno if they are correct, but they should be...took the standard settings of the cruise missile...added 5 skills to the flight time number...and 9 skills (5 for projection and 4 for caldari BS) for the velocity number...
Well if im correct, i got a optimal range FAR better then the Rokh...my range is about
284.812,375179 m or 284,813 km
Flight time: 32.2102 sec.
Velocity: 8842.303841 m/s
that is pretty good :P...any thoughts about my calculations??
