Spoon Thumb Khanid Aerospace Group Khanid Provincial Authority	Posted - 2007.03.02 14:09:00 - [1] Heat sinks are low slots and tracking computers mid slots So missile users have BCS for increasing DPS and offensive capability in low but no mid slot module to affect same attributes or similar?

smallgreenblur Minmatar Wreckless Abandon The UnAssociated	Posted - 2007.03.02 14:11:00 - [2] Yeah, missiles really need a mid slot item to improve their tracking and optimal range... At the limit, I guess you could have one to improve explosion radius and missile velocity. Overpowered tho. sgb

Disco Flint Caldari	Posted - 2007.03.02 14:21:00 - [5] Originally by: Marcus Alkhaar Target Painters qft they also get a nifty gfx in space unlike those dull tracking comps.
smallgreenblur Minmatar Wreckless Abandon The UnAssociated	Posted - 2007.03.02 14:35:00 - [6] Target painters work for guns too. The OP is after a module to mimic tracking computers, which affect optimal range and tracking on guns. The comparable (ish) stats on missiles are velocity or flight time and explosion radius. sgb
Grey Area Caldari	Posted - 2007.03.02 14:43:00 - [7] Actually, comparable stats would be explosion velocity and explosion radius. I don't see how these modules are "overpowered" and tracking computers are not... --- I don't mind you disagreeing with me. Just don't say I don't have the SKILLS to comment.
Kagura Nikon Minmatar MASS HOMICIDE FREGE Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.02 14:52:00 - [8] Missiles do not have and do not need the modules because their skills are much more effective than the guns skills. Just look how much you can increase your guns range with skills and how much on missiles... If brute force doesn't solve your problem.. then you are not using enough!!

Try using guns for a couple of weeks. Then come back to us about it. And by using them I mean, use them in all kinds of crazy situations.

Elain Reverse Caldari Shokei	Posted - 2007.03.02 15:50:00 - [14] Originally by: Kagura Nikon Missiles do not have and do not need the modules because their skills are much more effective than the guns skills. Just look how much you can increase your guns range with skills and how much on missiles... Gues what, guns have plenty of diferent ammo to change dmg or range and have more choices to change range from closerange to sniping range. There is also defenders missiles signature radius and explosion velocity penalty for dmg. Guns have tracking problems on short ranges. Guns also dealth more DPS then missiles. And no, more mods to midle slots ? We already have problems with fitting PVP mods like ECM webbers etc. Caldari need as many midleslots as possible for shieldtank.

Greater range ? Did you tryed Heavy assaults? And how about DPS from missiles compared to turrets? Yes, missiles are great for PVE, but not as much for PVP, at least not without small fleet engaging from range.

Yes, missiles are great for PVE, but not as much for PVP, at least not without small fleet engaging from range. Heavy assualts? please try not to use the second shortest ranged missile (only above rockets) when talking about range. that'd be like me complaining about megapulse lasers and multi crystals and not hitting far out. and what she says is true Missiles on standard have a longer range than guns. Firing 1200s with dep. Uranium can't make it to the range my cruise missiles do. (I have 7.5 mil points in gunnery and 700k in missiles)
Tsanse Kinske WeMeanYouKnowHarm	Posted - 2007.03.02 17:15:00 - [18] Personally, I'd have no problem if Tracking Computers were changed so that they also affect missile tracking and optimal. Hell, give double the bonuses to missiles. Everybody wins! Seriously though, missile's should probably only get a midslot enhancer when there's an equivalent midslot missile disruptor. Or possibly a legitimate Defender system. * * * In the beginning the Universe was created.

Yes, missiles are great for PVE, but not as much for PVP, at least not without small fleet engaging from range. Yeah, I use heavy assaults. Tell me a comparable medium turret (i.e. close range weapon) that does full damage throughout its entire range and can even reach out to 15km. Pulse? Nope. Blaster? Nope. Autocannon? Nope. Thank you and come again. @OP: Target painters. Infinitely more effective for missile than for turrets. --- Hey hey let's go kenka suru! Taisetsuna mono protect my balls!

Nir The Doldrums	Posted - 2007.03.02 17:57:00 - [21] Sure, as soon as we have missile variants of tracking disruptors.
Siakel	Posted - 2007.03.02 18:01:00 - [22] The equivalent stats for missiles would be Velocity or Flight Time and Explosion Velocity. One to increase range, one to make you do more damage to fast targets. I don't know why anyone thinks it should effect explosion radius, as Tracking Computers don't affect a similar stat. All that aside, however, you can't have Guidance-computers 'til the rest of EVE has Guidance-disruptors. All this would do in EVE as-is would be making Missiles tear small targets to pieces again, with nobody able to counter it because there's no anti-missile EW. Tracking Computers/Enhancers are countered by Tracking Disruptors.

Spoon Thumb Khanid Aerospace Group Khanid Provincial Authority	Posted - 2007.03.02 18:58:00 - [25] The thought actually came from using a scorp for running complexes thinking "ah, cheapo BS can't be that bad" I found that despite the 8 mid slots (for all those ECM's) my DSP sucked balls with 4 launchers and no gunnery skills. My standard tank for raven uses 6 mids, so what could i put in mids like tracking computer to increase my DPS considering I had 2 slots to play with -- Target painter makes sense now since the stuff I was shooting with cruise was actually just swarming frigs and nothing "meaty" to sink my fangs into.

Hoshi Blackguard Brigade	Posted - 2007.03.02 19:22:00 - [26] Originally by: Kagura Nikon Missiles do not have and do not need the modules because their skills are much more effective than the guns skills. Just look how much you can increase your guns range with skills and how much on missiles... Yes missile range skills give more bonus than gun range skills. On the other hand gun dps skills (damage/rof) give more bonus than missile dps skills so by your own reasoning we should remove damage mods for guns... ---------------------------------------- A Guide to Scan Probing in Revelations

LiBraga	Posted - 2007.03.02 20:09:00 - [28] I get all the range I need out of my T2 Heavy Assults..... about 70km last time I checked (yes T2 Ammo). Anyways I'm afraid to say your request for a mid missile upgrade is majorly flawed. As is the post about turrets being able to change range with ammo. Want to extend your range, use javlin missiles. Want to improve the damage, use a target painter (can make a major difference). Then you also have extended missile skills to max out. T2 Heavy Assults are (almost) a OMGBBQSauce weapon with mediocre skills. How about a Cerb spamming out heavy assults at a rate of 1 every 0.4s (roughly) and getting max hits every time, unlike the turret users. Seems like someone wants to improve without skilling for it. Missiles need NO-MORE improvements or mods. Leave it at that. Yes I'm Caldari, Yes I luv my Missiles, The Only Thing I Want Is A Close Range Ship for Caldari that has enough mids to fit a Scram and tank..... so take out 2 lows and put them on the mid!!!!!
Karma Coma	Posted - 2007.03.02 20:10:00 - [29] Why are you people even trying to compare missiles and turrets? They are two completely different systems in game. and as to the person complaining about missile damage... when i can use one ammo to hit anywhere from 0-200km you can do my damage hows about that? until then quite your whining for the sake of whining. Bottom line is missiles have TPs and yes they do work on turrets but they were made for missiles. dont like it? train for turrets.
Tsanse Kinske WeMeanYouKnowHarm	Posted - 2007.03.02 21:30:00 - [30] Edited by: Tsanse Kinske on 02/03/2007 21:26:41 Originally by: Grey Area Originally by: Tsanse Kinske Seriously though, missile's should probably only get a midslot enhancer when there's an equivalent midslot missile disruptor. Or possibly a legitimate Defender system. If you think that puts me off, it doesn't...I fully accept that. Nah, I know where you stand on this, as it's not the first time we've been down this road. I just point it out to for all the people thinking that module parity with guns would be a 100% great thing for missile users. Another thing Caldari missile lovers should be aware of is that a midslot tracker may not help you as much as it will other missile ships, notably Khanid mkII, assuming that happens. Quote: And I'm really glad to see you said "OR a defender system"...a lot of people seem to think they should have both. Yeah, I really think that working Defenders is the better way to go, although it has it's problems. (Limited missile slots and possibly server load considerations being the main ones, I think.) I'd like to keep missiles and guns feeling very different in practice...even though it inevitably leads to circular threads like this one. * * * In the beginning the Universe was created.
