Originally by: Smoking Mirror In general, missiles > guns. Even in pvp.
No that's wrong. In fleets missiles are completly useless since the called target will be down before your missiles have travelled that far. Therefor you're not contributing anything to achieve victory. You're just increasing lag.

However, they do significantly less damage to things moving fast. When I'm moving at full speed in my taranis, a cruise missile (depending on damage type) does anywhere from 3 to 20 damage, whereas if I were sitting still it would put me into half armor.
True, but by comparison, a gunner won't hit you AT ALL! So a little damage is better than no damage at all.
Well that's not true either. Turrets wont hit targets with high transversals. But they perfectly strike targets going which speed soever if the direction screws transversal.

Yes, that is true, but since the point of going fast is to get a high transversal, the point is somewhat moot.
Well high transversal is useless at 200km. Hm, ok, not entirely useless but you know what i mean. So Speedy Gonzales needs to approach - he prolly wants to do something anyways. While he is approaching he can just hope noone's gonna fire a turret volley up his direction. But he doesn't care at all about any type of missiles coming along. If he can make it into sort of a close orbit he's laughing both at turrets and missiles. Then the only thing that worries him is heavy nos and alike turning of the mwd.
