Ray Cald	Posted - 2007.12.12 21:19:00 - [1] Imagen the suprice and i hope this is a bugg when i fire volly after volly with torpedos at a npc raven battleship like the one i have and cant even scratch it even thou the log tells me im scoring hitt after hit and doing 300+ hp damage. Im trying to find out what hapend and find the modul stats change and im now reatching only 24,5 km with my torpedos. If they want to downsice the torpedo i think from 98km that is my target range to less then 25km is not logical and it will mean the end of that weapontype since most battleships keep at a range of 20-50km from u in battle. I suggest they rethink that and make the lunchers more power draing or something so u cant fitt 6 of them if they want to reduse the damage they making. cuse this way u will take them compleetly away since the cruismissil will keep u at atleest 70km away and do 300 - the enemys damage reduktion so maby 200-260hp a missile. Hope the suport get back to me petition bout the this cuse the log is confusing me wit hthe report that im hitting my foe heavy and no damage is taken... /ray c
NoNah	Posted - 2007.12.12 21:21:00 - [2] They did just the opposit. They gave them a huge damage boost, (check out the new Rate of Fire) at the cost of range. Do read the patch notes, you'll find quite a few interesting things in there. Postcount: 524557

Its called EFT Online. dont listen those people.. as they dont have a clue
Ray Cald	Posted - 2007.12.12 21:33:00 - [5] yes i can belive so, but im not a pvp person i just fly missions against npc cuse of my life philosofy and rely hate pv p, this is truly a dark day for mission runners like my self. guess its back to the cruismissiles then. Still it dont explane the whay my log reporting massiv hitts on my foe and nothing happens. /ray

Ray Cald	Posted - 2007.12.12 21:46:00 - [7] Hmm whay didint they do assault Torpedo like with the heavy missils with faster firerate and more damge and shorter range? That would solve things for bouth sides of pvp and non pvp. /ray
NoNah	Posted - 2007.12.12 21:46:00 - [8] Originally by: Joie Mains yeah sorry for that ... loooks like eve truly is what gm say... a pvp game It is, if you consider all competetitive aspects pvp. With a Raven and t2 torps you can still tweak your torps to go pretty hard. Postcount: 758596

Serafeim Odessa Operations Sylph Alliance	Posted - 2007.12.12 21:54:00 - [10] I love the new torp changes, its made my typhoon into an awesome short range ratting ship and pvp ship if needed.

That would solve things for bouth sides of pvp and non pvp. /ray There are two types of missiles. Guided and unguided. Guided: Standard - Frigate Heavy - Cruiser Cruiser - Battleship Unguided: Rocket - Frigate Heavy Assault Missile - Cruiser Torpedo - Battleship The differences betwen guided and unguided are: Guided deal less damage. Guided have longer range. Unguided are harder to fit. Unguided can't use FoF. Postcount: 712484
James Lyrus Lyrus Associates Enuma Elish.	Posted - 2007.12.12 22:00:00 - [12] Oh look. Yet another 'omg wtf torpedos suck now' post, from someone who didn't read the patch notes. Every ship in EVE had a choice to make: Whether to fit long range weapons, or short range. Blasters, Autocannons, Pulse lasers all fit the 'short' range model. Railguns, artilley, beam lasers the long range. The shorter range weapons are all easier to fit, higher damage, better tracking weapons. But they more or less require you to have some mobility in order to use effectively. In the missiles, you a get a slightly different situation. Rockets and HAMs, which are short range, high damage weapon systems. Light missiles and heavy missiles, which are longer range, lower damage. Interestingly, the longer range missiles are also the ones which hit smaller targets more easily. (Fittings is a bit of an oddball - light missiles are harder to fit than rockets, but HAMs are harder than heavy missiles, and torps are MUCH harder than cruise missiles. This model, however, broke down horribly, at the Raven, and to a lesser extent the typhoon, where there was a choice of: A long range, high damage weapon system, or a long range, lower damage weapon system, which also hit smaller target easier, and had easier fittings. Now, they've changed it, so torps/cruise are a short range, high damage weapon system, and a long range, lower damage weapon system. LIKE EVERY OTHER SHIP IN EVE. You _can_ use your close range weapons, in return for damage advantage. However, you can also use the long range option, and not have to have as much mobility. The same choice that any other ship has to make doing PvE - you don't _tend_ to find many autocannon or blaster ships doing PvE. I don't think you actually tend to see pulse lasers either. And now the Raven will be the same - close range, but needing maneuverabilty, or long range. The Raven remains right in the top tier of PVE ships. Cruise missiles are actually not all _that_ much worse than torps at clearing a mission (if they are worse at all) simply because of respective ratios of damage against smaller targets, and the number of them in a level 4. Raven is still right there, at the top of the pile. It's just the gap between it, and all the others has now narrowed, to the point where it might actually be worth putting a different race of battleship through level 4 missions. And incidentally, it made a largely worthless PvP ship, into a very cabable one. So the race that used to be 'rubbish' at PvP, and 'omg wtf easy mode' at PvE, have been balanced, to become worse at the latter, and better at the former. Probably one of the best changes they've made to EVE. And I say that as someone who does fly the Raven, quite a lot, in both PvE and PvP contexts. -- Crane needs more grid 249km locking? GMP and TNP
Ray Cald	Posted - 2007.12.12 22:03:00 - [13] Parden me if i not chare u entusiasm bout PvP. for me this game is to relax and do a mission or 2 and chat with friends since i dont need the adrinalin, I get enuff of that from rl work. To me this is making the game unbalanced, is there any changes like this coming on the cruissmissiles too? just so I know if Im wasting skillpoints or should find a different thing to do on my free time in the future. /ray

That would solve things for bouth sides of pvp and non pvp. /ray There are two types of missiles. Guided and unguided. Guided: Standard - Frigate Heavy - Cruiser Cruiser - Battleship Unguided: Rocket - Frigate Heavy Assault Missile - Cruiser Torpedo - Battleship The differences betwen guided and unguided are: Guided deal less damage. Guided have longer range. Unguided are harder to fit. Unguided can't use FoF. Actually, in terms of fittings, there's a bit of disparity. Rockets are 15 cpu, 4 powergrid Standard launchers are 25 cpu, 8 pg heavy missiles are 50 cpu, 100pg heavy assault missiles are 45cpu, 120pg Cruise missile launchers are 60cpu, 1250 grid Siege missile launchers are 80cpu, 1750 grid. Which is an interesting disparity in the 'pattern' of weapon power, and range. Frigate size ships, it's the short range weapon that's (much) easier to fit. Cruiser sized is arguable, since you trade 20% more grid, for 10% cpu. But I certainly find HAMs a tougher fit on a caracal than heavy missiles. And BS sized, it's the short range weapons that are easier. Not that I'm necessarily suggesting it should be changed or anything, but in the interests of consistancy, it might be worth considering reducing the grid use of HAMs a bit, and possibly even swapping cruise and torp stats around. Then again, the relative utility of 'long range' missiles is somewhat different to that of turrets - given a flight time implicit, longer range on missiles isn't necessarily as much of an advantage as it would be on a turret, compared to the closer range options. -- Crane needs more grid 249km locking?

This is not unbalanced. Try doing a L4 mission in any other battleship, and squaring that up against how fast a torp raven (used) to be able to do it. The raven was SO clearly better, that it was all you EVER saw, in any of the mission hubs. Even those for 'non caldari' mission agents. THAT was imbalance, and this change has fixed it. Fit cruises. They're as good (if not better) for L4ing. Both in terms of fittings, and because they're significantly easier to fit. I have not seen any proposed changes to cruise missiles in my trundling about the forums. -- Crane needs more grid 249km locking? GMP and TNP

The exit is that -> way. This may not be work safe -Capsicum
Ray Cald	Posted - 2007.12.12 22:20:00 - [19] I was happy with it as it was mate, now i have to adapt to this change, just think that if they done like with the heavy missile and assault missil change more ppl would happy in the end. We all have choises to make, this change just making my day harder but i live, I just giving my 2 thouts about the change. C whats hapens and make my chois bout that when i get there but when Rl stinks and the only fun thing make u uncoftebel then its time for a rl change as well. /ray

Care to tell me more about this balance you speak off? What are you balancing it against that renders it unbalanced now? For me the balance i speak of was the npc battleships that keep at a distans from you that never let u come with in 25-50km from them unless you have a ab fitted. Question: do unguided weapons miss it target ever? In sutch case u should be abel to manuver away from the volly of unguided misiles. /ray

But than again, they kill you back. Do you feel bad when you produce something for 100% and than sell it @ 400-500%, because you invested the time and skills for building that particular item? Offcourse not, the customer buys it in a blink of an eye while you spend time making sheets, finding cheap minerals, need to handle competition, invest SP and arent capable of defending yourself because you invested that SP into manufacturing. Just like setting up a camp or roaming around takes time, carefull planning, SP and skilled players. what would else be the point in (fleet) commanders, carefull planning and decent scouting, when a good set of brains got you nowhere. If i die, i got outsmarted. (or i was being risky again) C'mon who gives a damn. Its a game, it are pixels. Yes you invest time in them, but never forget they are pixels. Thats all they are. Else everyone would be sitting with a Isk --> Euro calculator for each Isk they earned. If you want respect and help, dont take things personal... Npc are necesarry, but they are the biggest source off inflation. _________________________________________________ Breetime A killmail!11!1 omgrawr: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

When I'm forced to run missions I do it in a Nighthawk anyway, so I care nothing for your complaints about PvE. New Sig Pending...

Do you feel bad when you play against other people and win in other games as well or is it just Eve? It's like playing chess with someone and then refuse to put their king in check mate, because of fear they might get upset. It's just a game. It's not personal (and if people take it personally, they really shouldn't be playing). One day you win and someone else loses. Another day you lose and they win. Why play a game where the main purpose is blowing up other people's make-believe space ships over the internet (while they try to blow up yours) and then refuse to do it?
