i hope they arent getting nerfed i just started this game and going down the missile path......

Missiles always hit as long as the ship isn't faster than the missiles, no falloff, no tracking, no capacitor usage, and you can pick your damage type. The raven even has a damage bonus that applies to all missile damage types. Missiles are easy.

IDK about this thread too much tbh but you do realise that you are giving a new player self-contradictory advice in these few lines I hope...

Which is why we have to worry about Signature radius, explosion radius, explosion velocity, the enemies velocity.
I can make turrets sound easy, stay in optimal range and fire right? No turrets aren't easy, but neither are missiles.

In a thread, posting.

Mr. Defender Missile likes to disagree.

Also, hitting for next to no damage is, for all practical purposes, identical to missing.

Lets be honost, nobody uses that ****.

NATO is building more and more anti missile bases all over the world so yes, missiles are getting nerfed.

Really? -and what ammo do those use?

Honestly I'm surprised there isn't alreay some form of EWAR module to counter missile.

Granted, defender missiles might need looking into (I've never used them, so no personal experience there). You can also destroy missiles with smart bombs.

Large missiles also so terrible damage to small targets, even if they're not moving quickly. This is unlike a larger turret, which can still pop a frigate as long as said frigate can be tracked effectively.

Lets be honost, nobody uses that ****.

The other way to look at it would be a nerf to the Drake and the Tengu as they are the two main guided missile boats everyone wants "rebalanced".

Right and blanket nerfing missiles to get at the drake/tengu is about as intelligent as blanket nerfing turrets to do the same to the fotm angel ships.

Ham-fisted attempts to make everything relevant in the current balance status quo are going to re-enforce the winners and losers. If missiles take one on the chin, the tengu is still the best missle ship in the game.

The problem is usually the hulls, not the mods.
