Ah, if all our problems were aesthetic

Haha, seeing a Minmitar pilot use the word aesthetic makes me giggle. Half the ships they never got round to removing the scafold from.

Not that they can compare with some of the more 'special' Caldari ships though, like the Moa.

I got to remember to turn on effects next time I see dreads go into siege, and to actualy look at what they are doing, see if the Citadel are worth watching.

I'd like to bring to your attention a major imbalance in missiles, when compared to turrets.
It's quite a serious problem really, but one that seems to have gone unnoticed. Namely, that missiles don't look as cool as turrets when firing.

I recently acquired a G15 keyboards, so I could fire a 'full volley' from a Rokh. And I have to say, it looks really awesome, to see 8 rails (or blasters) firing at once. Try the same thing on a Raven, and what do you get. A big blob, that's slightly brighter than an individual missile, that kind a goes 'pop' when it hits something.

Worse still, the 'missile blob' just kind of emerges from the centre of the hull. No turret firing animation, no 'visible hardpoints' just a little blob ejected into space.

Now, there's one missile which doesn't have all these problems. The torpedo, has an eminently satisfying impact and blast wave. Even when you fire a 'powerball' of missiles, you get multiple rings on different planes, which means it at least looks like they got hit by several shots.

Smaller missiles, however, don't do this.

And don't get me started on the 'annoying yap' which is the explosion of light missiles. I mean, these are INTERNET SPACESHIPS. Where is the majesty of a flash and a yapping puppy explosion.

I would like to suggest the following be implemented forthwith:
Slight sideways vector on missiles when they fire. A full volley of missiles shouldn't be a 'single blob' - they should spread, just a little bit, so you can see that multiple shots have been fired.

Launcher hardpoints - much like turrets, launchers attached to the hull. That animate when they fire. And missiles emerge from the launchers. Maybe even firing 'macross style' in all directions, and turning towards the target.

Explosions: Let them look like explosions please, not metaphorical elavator flatulence. "Big bada boom". Torps are a good start, the rest need to follow.

I think we can all agree, that 'looking awesome' is an area where missiles lose out chronically to turrets, and is an important gameplay factor that needs urgent attention.

Using external programs for an in game advantage is against eula. You are actually using a G15 (an external thing to eve) to gain a particualr advantage over ppl that have to click separately all the fire buttons.

---

Actually G15 is okay according to devs

I imagne is ok then if i create macro with G15 or anotehr keyboard that allow me to mine automatically...

I'd like to note for everyone that when your missiles come out at a random direction, they are going to be spending part of their flight time getting back on target, which will give an indirect nerf to missile range as a result.
