They need to make it so that missles are really good, but don't auto kill frigates. That's really the problem. You make cruise missles too fast, a frigate dies 1 shot, with no way to defend it self what so ever.
Then again, 1 shot from most large turrets finishes off a frigate too so /shrug.

The main problem is that the biggest missles are the fastest as well. That's like the biggest turrets having the fastest tracking speed, too, it doesn't makes sense. Because of this light and heavy missles are practically never used.
Missle speed relations should be light > heavy > cruise and not cruise > heavy > light.
The catch22 is that without speed, the big missles are useless at long distances, and most battleship fights take place at long distance now.
Turrets fire instantaneously and can usually kill a frigate in 1 shot, so what's the difference?

Allrighty...
On chaos right now as I type this.
Cruise missles now have a volume of 2.5 and torps have a volume of 5.0.
Have to give a thumbs down to this idea  . Now you can carry less missles of either type...120 torps in a Raven's current cargo hold or 3 volleys.
Sorry for the folks who can't fire cruise missles from their frigs but they really are pretty easy to either a) destroy or b) runaway from and c) train up to.
OMFG, what is CCP smoking? This is the dumbest move ever. Missles are hard enough to ferry around and use, now they more than doubled the volume? Come on... I mean I know Kestrels using cruise is kind of cheesey but is it worth ruining caldari battleships over? This is such a stupid move on CCPs part, I hope they realize this..

It's not just battleships that get screwed over, but cruisers as well. Enjoy reloading each of th H-50's after every 2 cruises or 1 torpedo...
'Heavy' missile launcher, indeed. :s
This totally SCREWS missle users over, COMPLETELY. Raven is effected the most though, 6 launchers, and now it can only carry what? 270 cruise missles or a measily 120 torps? WTF? You can carry like what? Thousands of rounds of large ammo now? How is this fair? Man I can't tell you how angry I am that CCP is yet again screwing over missles and caldari ships, man I know it sucks for all people that use missles, but caldari are totally hosed now.
Excuse me while I go train Mimnatar battleship and projectiles so I can be one of the cool kids, thanks CCP.

BTW. Methinks would really work better to just decrease the capacity of M-12 launcher to 0.9 m3, set the size of heavy missile to 0.3 m3 and scale the smaller missiles further accordingly, so that it's no longer possible for the M-12 to hold cruise missiles but they can still store nice load of smaller ones...
No, that would be the sane, logical thing to do. Better to totally gimp missles entirely, i guess..

Bad news if frigates can't launch cruiser missile...
Worse news if battleships can't even use cruise missles effectively. Which is now the case on Chaos.
