2) The missile formula has not been released. Without exact numbers, how are we supposed to comment on if the balance changes are correct or not?
I actually lolled . Talk about self-confidence. Merin, take off the Napoleon hat, go to test and TEST the results as a consumer (and not as a dev). Because you are a consumer and not a dev. No blue bars, see?
Alternatively - write to Microsoft and ask them for Windows source code to assess the quality of the recent Vista patches. ------------------------------------------ All nerfs are meant to hurt you personally. They will be nerfing you directly next.

Originally by: Cpt Branko Which is why we've got all the other formulas in game (like tracking, current missile damage calculator, etc)?
There is a subtle difference between A) CCP giving players the formula B) players inventing the formula themselves.
Situation B) goes like 1) Some guy spends several days experimenting. 2) He come up with a formula, saying the effect A=aX+bY 3) He announces it on the forums. 4) 40 other forum warriors praise him for effort. 5) CCP makes stealth change to the formula, because they think messing with the @allknowing@ forum warriors is fun (now the formula is A=aX+bY+C) 6) Forum warriors believe in false formula, and make theories on that. 7) The majority of players DOES NOT CARE.
Yes, a facepalm icon would be most welcome. ------------------------------------------ All nerfs are meant to hurt you personally. They will be nerfing you directly next.

Originally by: CCP Fendahl The attribute should be visible on the missiles after the reboot we're doing now.
That's what I call perfect timing. We have an inter-alliance event planned on Sisi in 40 minutes. Something like 200 people involved. Hope the Sisi would not go down in the middle of it - on the other hand it would allow us to practise the node crash tactics... (yes, I am an optimist) ------------------------------------------ All nerfs are meant to hurt you personally. They will be nerfing you directly next.

1) Missile damage is already pre-nerfed to account for lack of tracking.
Then what obscure advantage of missiles is the reason for them to have delayed damage?
And to all mentioning BE - they did not use Raven as a fleet ship, they used it as an over-sized stealth bomber. Actual DPS of a fleet-Raven is so small it's ridiculous - you lose full volley worth of damage when a) you warp off, b) when your target warps off, c) when your target dies, d) when you die, e) when you lose lock(get ECMed, dampened) Oh, and missile travel time influences actual DPS.
Cruise-Raven is an anti-support ship ONLY. If it would only deal full DPS to BS - it be even more worthless than it is now. (not an easy task, I tell you) ------------------------------------------ All nerfs are meant to hurt you personally. They will be nerfing you directly next.

Quote: 3) Missile ships are long-range ships. Most missile ships are designed to fight from long range,
torps, hams, rockets?
Rocket Crow Optimal - 15km (faction) - 40km (long range ammo) HAM Cerb optimal - 45 km (faction) - 186km (long range ammo) Torp Raven optimal - 30 km (faction) - (45 km long range ammo)
Compare to turrets for epic lulz. BS-sized Pulses are overpowered though.

However, I've learned that since I'm a LoSec dweller, not a 0sec dweller, my playstyle doesn't matter
<humour> Of course, it doesn't! Luckly for you, my corpmate uses HAM-cerb for 0.0 gangs and is having a blast with it, so you still have a chance of playing The Game Right! </humour>

Oh. And I fit defenders on my Eagle. I suppose that's a bad idea as well.
Heretic! Fit salvager instead! :)
On a serious note: HAM-cerb is 80% of blaster-Deimos DPS with no tracking issues and applicable anywhere within 40km radius shpere. If this does not fall under your definition of awesome, you're obviously doing it wrong.
The issue with HM-cerb is that it is simply just another kind of awesome.
And AML-cerb is half-awesome at what it does too (its' niche is a bit too small though)
Yes, that's right! Caldari get 2.5 awesome ships in 1! ------------------------------------------ All nerfs are meant to hurt you personally. They will be nerfing you directly next.

Oh, and after finally finishing reading the whole thread
You have WAY too much time on your hands :) AND probably you take internet spaceships too seriously. I don't, that's why you think I am trolling :) ------------------------------------------ All nerfs are meant to hurt you personally. They will be nerfing you directly next.
