Think Precision missiles need a velocity increase. Too many ship can out run this missile which is suppose to be designed to kill frigs. Considering the flight path AI is not optimal, a ship coming toward you at a slight angle still gets missed by the missile then go into chase mode, ofcourse it never catches up.

No they dont.. they are preety fast as they are.. Lets talk about light precisions.. Speed almost 7K on flycatcher.. fast enough.. And they have like 3000m/s explosion velocity which is best around there.. (rockets should have more explosion velocity,since they have lower speed and flight time=range) light precisions are Faster than 75% of the intys out there.. And they have like 50km range.. (on velocity bonus ships) What they need is speed penalty reduced from 7.5% to 5% for both T2long range rockets and T2 precision light missiles.. caldari are slow as hell already.. and since Heretic and crow need to get closr to operate they dont need that speed be reduced from rockets that much..
BTW. Long range rockets need explosion velocity bumped to from 500 to 2500m/s.. to be somewhat effective.. WTF.. they currently they have 2x lower explosion velocity dmg than their high dmg counterparts.. whilez long range assault missiles have 3x bigger explosion velocity than hggh dmg ones..

I can't agree with these statement for the following reasons...
1. 7k on flycatcher is not enough. This is a ship which is suppose to excel at killing inty yet with a missile velocity of 7k and a flight time of about 10 sec with skill and ship bonus, it won't catch a inty orbiting at 20km with a speed of 5k+. Most inty moves at above 7k which means the missile will never catch them.
2. Light precision is not faster then 75% of the inty out there. It is closer to 50% on a specilized ship like the flycather on a regular missile boat, max skill = 6k.
3. If you look at the different missile class all going at the same speed. Doesn't make sense. Precision light missile should have faster velocity the Precision Cruise.
As it stands now, any decent inty pilot will tell you.. If they get pop by missiles, they've messed up.

Agreed. Precision ammo is worthless unless the target is a complete moron.

I would bump all missile speeds :p
Explosion velocity and radius reduce missile damage enough already (and its way way too easy to outrun missiles). --- Get rid of those *bleep*ing secure containers. *bleep*! |

The speed boost, that comes from rigs, has meant that it's pretty hard to get a missile of the right size to connect with a ship of that size class, if it's 'nanoed'.
Even if we are talking 'precision' missiles. Compare light/heavy/cruise precision missiles, with nanoship velocity, and almost all of them outrun it by a useful margin - unless they're a caldari ship of course, which can't really 'nano'.
(Although, it's not really nanos any more, is it? Polycarbons and ODs... *shrug*)

/signed.
Its not just the precision light, but precision heavies. Any crow pilots probably know this already but, crow vs. crow duels tend to be hideously boring these days due to the fact that neither one will be able to do any damages worth a damn to one another. --- Izanagi Alliance |
