To have a convincing argument you need more than screaming for more damage.

---

lol?! The claims of the OP are IMHO totaly valid and his suggestions reasonable.

But: You lack some convincing arguements.

---

I don't need arguments, the OP has a point to make, not me. His argument is MORE DAMAGE! I ask for some substance.

I don't understand how you don't follow the logic train at play here. Missile using cruisers and battlecruisers rely entirely on a frigate class weapon system to deal even modest amounts of damage to nano cruisers. Using a proper medium missile will generally result in negligable amounts of damage to the average non-pimped nano cruiser.

Gun users have more options available for engaging a nano ship. Using their own MWD to cut the angular velocity, painting the target, using tracking enhancers and computers and so forth. Missile users have one option: use precison lights or wait to die while watching your missiles follow a target until they burn out.

I have personally seen this discrepency in my own play time. When armed with HML's my Cerb manages to deliver an astounding 0 - ~10 damage per missile to the nano ships I've seen (specifically a Vagabond who ignored me and a Sac who murdered me). Since that day I've generally armed my Cerb with Assault Launchers because they are simply a better weapon system for the situations I find my Cerb in.

So, while the OP is indeed asking for more damage, I don't think it's unreasonable to want a cruiser class missile that can actually hit the average modern cruiser.

Holy crap, it's Jim Raynor!!!!!

Now there's an old face I haven't seen around in a while. I remember us arguing for fixes to missiles waaaaaay back in the MOO days (when they were across the board terrible).

As far as Ruciza goes, there's a class of folks that thinks because missiles are widely used in PvE, they should really suck in PvP, and he falls into this category. Such trolls not really worth arguing with, as they refuse to accept basic assumptions of the need for balance. When shown that one weapon system or ship is manifestly inferior to its competitors and doesn't do the job it is supposed to, their typical response is "Yeah, and?"
