Everything is viable if you like doing so, Mach is a pain in the ass to me and thinking of selling mine off but to many people it is perfect.
We are talking PVE of course. Guns are great my second highest skill set but they take experience and knowledge and work. No button pushing monkey there.
In PVE I will take missiles over guns any day. They talk about insta hitting but with missiles after the first hit they are insta hitting. Every 3.52 seconds.
If you like to get into battles and play with guns enjoy it. Have fun with it. There is a reason Caldari excel at PVE called missiles. However you are not locked down to missiles only just buy some books. |

Cross training is fantastic, I can fly 3 different Srat Cruisers, I can use guns or missiles it doesn't reeally matter or drones. I just don't use drone boats because they are slow compared to missile boats which most have drones. Now Gun boat captains will say Guns are better but really? Missiles, no not really after the first volley hits they are just like guns only faster and more damage. Everyone talks of insta hits but after the travel of the first volley all are insta hits. Every hit after the first is whatever rate of fire you have be it 2 seconds or 7 seconds.
In my noob day (Flying Harpy full out) the Ishtar was the magical kingdom, I remember taking on one with 5 people and we failed. Things change world changes adapt or die. That is the eve world. |

If you don't undestand missiles let me explain.
The first volley takes 8 seconds to hit yet the next volley will take whatever your rate of fire takes.
First volley takes 8 seconds the next volley is 3 seconds behind or whatever your ROF is. Yes there is a delay but very little and more damage compared to guns. |

Neither of which are any big deal it is second nature to me, gun ships are not better than Missiles in PVE missions period. They are more work and you miss a good deal you never miss with missiles. It is all over in the wash guns are fun but missiles are better.
If you can't keep up with volley or the number needed to kill the rats you are fighting then I suggest you start getting more experience. |

Having flown both gun and missile boats in missions, I disagree. Except for the guns requiring more a bit work. That part is true. Well, except when juggling 3-5 TPs on the Golem.
LOL 3 to 5 is hard to manage! Especially with their slow count down. The only point I am making is that after the first volley it is all just like guns only they always hit for max damage. 8 seconds (8 seconds is saying they are like 100km off say Assault and you will not hit them with a gun but I can hit them with a missile) for first volley to hit and then everything after that hits with the same amount of time as guns it is a wash considering all the glancing and scratching shots for 400 to 600 on BS's. So yeah you lose a little amount of time. Now if you read the news while you are firing missiles yeah it is not very good for the pocket book, which I don't because if it is a bounty mission like say The Assault then I need to kill everything quick like to make cash.
But then I make my own T2 missiles which makes them far cheaper. I pay 400 a unit maybe sometimes more I guess I have never done the math with making my own. It is far cheaper and can be done in Highsec fairly reasonably. Takes about a week to set up your own production of T2 Fury missiles but after that it is all down hill just use a Noctis to salavage and loot a few drone missions and turn that into minerals and poof you have your own T2 production. Of coure I stil buy those gravity things and some other parts. However still far cheaper and with PI takes a couple of runs in a Crane or Badger. |
