I would appreciate it if somebody could clarify the following line in the recently released patch notes, under "fixes", "weapons & ammunition":
"Turrets will only do damage when within the maximum allowed optimal and falloff range."
a corp mate of mine thought this meant that, as an example, a turret that had an optimal of 150km would no longer be able to hit a stationary target at ranges closer than 150km... like say 50km.
I believe he was wrong in assuming this, but wanted to confirm
thanks |

"within" range = at or below maximum range. your buddy misunderstood
whether or not you can track at that range is another story altogether...

Nooooo! this is serious, the fall off range is just the point where your dps drops by 50% due to misses. You could always take a DPS hit and go for longer range shots, at the cost of wasting more ammo. The falloff range is just a scale, not a sharp cutoff!
Wow, this is a *major* change. Why? Can the Devs please give a list of reasons for this fundamental change to falloff???
stunned if this is true. Hopefully a typo.

Does this mean that all weapons are like missiles now and are limited to a concrete maximum number?

As things stand now, you can currently score Wrecking hits (3x damage, 1% chance per shot) when your chance to hit has been reduced to zero due to range. This let you do damage, albeit very limited damage, at ranges well beyond Optimal + 2x Falloff if you're patient enough.
From what I understand, this has been fixed although I'm fuzzy as to the specifics other than you shouldn't be scoring Wrecking Hits well beyond Optimal + 2x Falloff. All normal hits will still function as before.

I've tested it, they just didn't write it correctly. Gun range is still optimal+2x falloff.

Knowing CCP they'll break it and you won't be able to shoot further than your tracking speed... now think a bit, there you go *click* it doesn't make sense and it's not supposed to. Why? Cause it's CCP. But seriously there's balance and diversity this kills diversity balance as well probably but whatever.

Thank goodness! I guess the patch notes are living up to high accuracy standards like last time. Thanks Cpt B. for checking this.
