WHY?.

Wouldn't you honestly prefer modules added of buffed to help catch and combat it instead of just removing it as a option?.

As i remember there was told something aboyt serverside problems. And that they wasn't able to boost Drones and Missiles (to make faster drones and faster missiles). But I need interceptor that would be really good for blockade running. (Like now i have no problem while flying through camps in 0.0 secs on my Crusader) (Flying on Covert Ops is slower and not so funny)

Why it is impossible to make speed of drones and missiles about 10-20 km/s?

I was not referring to increasing missiles and tracking to the point where all you need do is throw out dps to pop stuff without the need to tackle it.

PVP is not PVE and trying to make it so all you need do is hop in your ratting drake or raven (or gunnery equivalent) and throw out a certain amount of missiles/ammo towards a hostile ship until it goes boom without the need to tackle it is not a skill.

What the pvpers are saying is that the addition of longer ranged webs that fit only on BS or even scripted webs that sacrifice str for range and visa versa along with the mwd killing scram and a slight alteration to nuets (so they kill cap at the start of their cycle instead of the end if they do not already) is of considerably more player skill orientated and would lead to much better pvp fighting than just swinging the nerf bat blindly at speed and turning gang fighting into slug fest f1-f1 crap.

But why there is no such types of missiles and drones that would be able to hit interceptor (with not really big DPS though) Boosting of webs also good idea, but why not make extra light and very fast drones, and why ships are able to fly faster then any missile. Very expensive missiles with MWD (special edition for missiles) inside why not?

---

Because ppl would only fly and fit those missiles and not bother to tackle plus its not just about missiles its about gunnery as well.

The real issue is team work, if you need to tackle to kill you need to defend your tacklers so you need to bring ewar and logistics to do so and work as a skilled and well organized team.

If all you need do is hit f1-f8 and throw out dps to kill summat all you will bring are dps ships and the only team work needed is to lock and fire on the same target (so no real team work or skill at all).

I saw a lot of talk about reducing speed and augmenting tackling, but one thing i didnt see much is instead of reducing the speed of ships, why not boost the speed of missiles, drones and tracking ?

If we look at today's planes, even if they are very fast, missiles are fast enough to shoot them down and tracking on automated guns is even fast enough to shoot down missiles !

So i would say keep the speed like it is right now, but boost all types of weapons so that shooting down a Nanoed ship is possible, if skilled and equiped properly.
