I agree. What would you think making defender missiles work for a change? .
Okay, from a previous few posts I have condensed my thoughts on a valid point defense system as an alternative to GÇ£Tracking DisruptorsGÇ¥ for missiles.
Why don't we have functioning, smart, point defense systems? A point defense system that can shoot down drones and missiles? It would actually make far more sense than a "Missile Tracking Disruptor"
The module would be a simple high slot module, not a launcher or turret. This allows it to be fitted in any high slot. The module could either be sized or could have a very unique fitting attribute in that it uses a percentage of the ships CPU and PG meaning it can be fitted to any sized ship. This style of fitting attribute would reflect in the number of point defense batteryGÇÖs fitted to a ship dependant on the overall size of the ship.
The racial Point Defense System (PDS) would then have three different ammo types: Anti Missile Anti Drone Anti Bomb
These ammo types would all deal a "special" type of damage. For arguments sake, we'll call it "Snowflake". Snowflake is a special damage type that is "invisible" to the player. You will never see snowflake damage or resists in any GÇ£Show InfoGÇ¥ window. All items other than missiles, drones and bombs have a 100% resistance to it.
This will prevent PDS being used as an offensive weapon.
Now, the PDS is activated on a target ship, just like defender missiles work now. If you are using anti missile ammo, that ship will require to be launching missiles for it to activate. Same goes for drones. The PDS will then shoot down missiles or drones that the targeted ship GÇ£ownsGÇ¥ effectively.
If Anti Bomb ammo is loaded, it will work exactly how FoF/Auto Targeting missiles work now with the caveat that their only valid target are bombs. This will allow the ship to effectively defend against bombers without having to target the bombs/bombers themselves.
Guess what else all of this would fix? !!Bombers!!
Ammo reload takes 30 seconds which can give windows of opportunity.
It could even be racial!
Amarr point defense lasers would be best vs missiles - instant damage, good range but poor tracking vs drones at short range.
Caldari point defense missiles would be the "all rounder". Okay vs drones and missiles due to not requiring tracking but travel time
Galente Point Defense Blasters would be best vs drones - poor range but excellent application and damage
Minmatar Point Defense Guns would be another all rounder but lower projection with higher RoF.
I can't tell you how much I would love a Destroyer hull fitted out with point defense flying amongst the fleet performing the "Screening" role. You could even have a T2 version!
Yes, a fleet of battleships protected by a squadron of point defense Destroyers would be immune to bombers.
Also, Destroyers are squishy so it wouldn't be difficult to clear the field of enemy Point Defense.
It would actually create a lot of new game play that is extremely newbro friendly as any fleet commander will want some screening destroyers in his/her fleet.
Que fleet commanders screaming "POINT DEFENSE! POINT DEFENSE!" when they see bombers decloaking and the newbros flying Defense Destroyers (GÇ£DDGÇ¥GÇÖs or GÇ£Dee DeeGÇÖsGÇ¥) screening the fleet hit their PDS modules that were pre loaded with anti bomb ammo.
If you're the newbro who saves the fleet of battleships from the bombing run you will be sat there with a massive erection smile.

I like the idea of keeping these as separate modules which are strong, but I feel that the current numbers aren't very strong for the missile disruptors. Turret disruptors are much stronger and more of your targets will be turret ships. If anything, the missile disruptors should be equally strong. Having such a powerful disruption module is okay because it doesn't work on every target. That's the big balancing factor with racial ECM jammers. Sensor dampeners and target painters are weaker because they work on pretty much every target.

A module (multispectrum ecm) that is 50% less effective than racial jams, is not balanced if a Tracking Disruptor is able to fit missile scripts.
Eve is about fitting choices not 1 module fits all.

Not to mention that the "tics" the server uses to calculate such things would innately cause them to basically fail over 30% of the time. |

Yes, he said. I read it differently.
My concerns about unbonused still stand though.

Yes. The only way would be a ship with bonuses to smart bombs to make a more effective firewall. Reduce cycle time/cap/etc.
However I would contend with these mods coming, fire walling should go completely anyway. |

BiaB would probably make this a non issue.
Thing is we already have this in game (defender missiles). It's just not effective.
Also, [AFAIK] grouped missiles don't work as a group of multiple missiles. They look like they are but they are not. They are a "Super Missile" with a a cumulative HP pool and damage value that is the sum of all the missiles. You can then lower this damage value by lowering the HP pool with SB's or defender missiles. The client also renders this visually by showing you number of missiles left in the super missile.
The other side of the coin is also that the server needs to do all these calculations constantly for missiles in flight. If you destroy those missiles the calculations no longer need to be carried out so the problem of server load would self medicate.
I also wonder how missile disruption modules would effect missiles already in flight and then when falloff range begins to make the effectiveness of said modules sporadic, would the server then not be forced to "re-calculate" on and off causing more load? |

i think introducing this new mods without a missile rebalance is a mistake; wasn't the missile lowish dps a trade for the "they always hit" memo?
also CCP just increased missile hp some time ago to make them less vulnerable to smartbombs: now decreasing velocity will make them even more vulnerable to smartbombs... and since citadel weapons will be aoe missiles and smartbombs i don't think missiles ships will be in a good spot...
if CCP want to make missiles ships pve only, well they can do it ofc, i just don't think it will be very good for the game; but again, what do i know...

That is part of why I'm so skeptical.
read back on the last Balance round, it got a great announcement on the o7 show, a thread on this forum, with a first days feedback. that they would be nerfed.
-Testers had to find out that stacking penalties where introduce to the point people had to point out it wasn't in the original patch notes, that got a reaction.
-The guidance modules came out as quick and cheap copy paste of turret guidance modules, even the bpo's where build around turret guidance modules, hilarious data cores needed or production. I believe they have still the same fitting costs (which are high on CPU, the same thing that is high on launchers and shields)
- scripts weren't available
when it finally did work it was quite clear the modules did preform not very well, aside from a few niche fits.
and although asked, no feedback what so ever?
and here 3 months later comes and answer, we're going to put extra anti missile modules in. and to compensate we're going to buff our new module a bit.
The current missiles ships weren't designed around this new system, which means they need to drop other things to compensate, further lowering their DPS and or Tank.

balance pages yes, good changes... not really just look at overall usage, except for 2-3 ships with very strong bonuses there are no room for missile doctrines; they have a spot on small solo pvp using rockets/light missiles, and that's where this distruptors will do most of they're dmg; one more thing, guns have optimal and faloff, usually one much larger than the other; so a 200mm autocanon will be hurt in his fallof, yes, but no one will care about 50m reduction into his optimal, while missiles having only optimal will take double hit |

BIAB wont make servers calculate faster. All BIAB is free up server load/read times to allow MORE things to happen and to prevent latency from causing an issue in larger fights or higher population systems. Think about BIAB as a high efficiency two sided compression system. It just ensures that for one event(transferring) is done with far less active load than before. Once you are loaded BIAB doesn't really do much.
Yes each individual ship compresses all its missiles into one "group" to the server(fozzi correct if I'm in error here please) However, You are only thinking of the calculations from one side. If you have a PD/defender ship vs a fleet of cerbs you have limited options. You either space magic damage away with a flat reduction(this is bad. Space magic is bad). You have the module be completely ineffective because it only targets one enemy ships missiles at a time... Finally you do the most effective system which is having the defensive system target ALL incoming hostile targets for interdiction much the same way an actual missile defense system(like PHALANX CIWS) works. Trouble is to actually do this you need specialized systems to calculate best fire rates and target priorities.. in EVE or really any game thats an absurd thing to ask for. It's one of the main reasons you rarely, if ever, see real point defense in any video game.
This problem exists with smartbombs as well. Every time you fire one off it has to interact with everything it hits. If i had to guess smartbombs are a problem to the devs when performance is discussed. I think they get away with it by simply doing one volume calculation and then applying an effect to everything inside that volume. |

Yup...so...y'know...with these mods let's just get rid of the lot.
Now we have solid anti-missile ewar, let's drop the crappy, lag inducing edge case stuff that we had to make do with previously.

Once you make this then you have to make a drone tracking disruptor.
drones will be the only offensive system that is completely immune to ewar at all.
there needs to be a td that effects the main ship and stops sending the attack message to the drones. or just makes them predict trajectories incorrectly and miss their shots.

A scene during a fight, let's jump into the Missile ship:
Hello Missiles, I'm a Missile (tracking) Disruptor.
Missiles: Hello MD
MD: I'm just telling you're capsuler you got Missiledisruppted.
Missiles: What does that mean?
MD: Well, regardless of your speed and the amount of fuel you're filled with, I say you're slower and you have less Traveltime. So you won't reach the same Distance.
Missiles: How can that work? Our Speed is given by our casing (burner) and the flight time by the amount of fuel we have. How shall that even be possible that we can't fly the same distance anymore.
MD: Don't ask me, I'm just the Module brought into this mechanics to have something similar to TDs.
Missiles: OK lets believe there's some magic way you can Influence our flighttime or speed. Is that all you can do?
MD: Nope, Scripted the right way I can make your explosions bigger.
Missiles: .......................
Here we better jump out again, before the missiles get really angry and blow up in the launcher.
Just exyplain me how that should be possible at all. And all only because of the RLML on Orthruses. Just nerf them if everybody whines about them?
How many Missile ships get flown? And about how many are the people complaining they're to strong. I just can think of Mordus Legion ships. With rockets and Lights (not RLML) seems everything ok. All other missiles are called crap. Only the RHML seems to be used sometimes, but even then People say it's ok,t not great. You needed to buff HMs short ago and they still don't get used. So tell me where is the reason for MD?????
Ok I'm a Rookie, I still have to learn a lot in this game but I'm allowed to have an opinion. I started the game and fell in Love with Missiles. so I wanted to only learn Missiles and Missile ships. Maybe thats why am that much pissed off.
Ok at least I can stop my Missileskills in the Queue and Replace them with Turret skills. Please forgive my bad english. |

I think its alittle stupid to apply ewar to drones, except in certain scenarios like you outnumber your opponent, so you jam his drones for lulz. But in a 1v1 there is no ship that will be fit with 5 TDs or 5 damps, or 5 ECM mods. 1 TD on a turret ship = RIP turret tracking or optimal, for all the guns on that ship. 1 MD on a missile ship = RIP all your missiles. 1 TD on 1 out of 5 drones = Oh lol, lemme rescoop and relaunch while you are still being plinked away by 4 other drones.
So what.. maybe a 20% dmg loss if you never rescoop as opposed to a 100% damage loss to missiles if they never hit the target. Saying you can ewar drones and that somehow means they shouldnt have their own ewar against them is silly.

Hello Missiles, I'm a Missile (tracking) Disruptor.
Missiles: Hello MD
MD: I'm just telling you're capsuler you got Missiledisruppted.
Missiles: What does that mean?
MD: Well, regardless of your speed and the amount of fuel you're filled with, I say you're slower and you have less Traveltime. So you won't reach the same Distance.
Missiles: How can that work? Our Speed is given by our casing (burner) and the flight time by the amount of fuel we have. How shall that even be possible that we can't fly the same distance anymore.
MD: Don't ask me, I'm just the Module brought into this mechanics to have something similar to TDs.
Missiles: OK lets believe there's some magic way you can Influence our flighttime or speed. Is that all you can do?
MD: Nope, Scripted the right way I can make your explosions bigger.
Missiles: .......................
Here we better jump out again, before the missiles get really angry and blow up in the launcher.
