Slinkus Gallentus Gallente Infinite Order	Posted - 2008.11.20 15:48:00 - [1] Yes, CCP went much too far. If the missile says it will do 500dmg (unresisted), then it should do 500dmg (unresisted) regardless of how fast the missile or target are moving relative to each other. What CCP need to clarify is how much damage is done by the explosion of the warhead and how much damage is done by the impact of the warhead. These are two entirely different things. As it stands the explosion damage is being nerfed by the relative velocity and this does not happen IRL. Sure, this is a space game but it should reflect reality in some places and explosions are one thing that I feel should be reflected accurately. cheers "Life is not one big joke.

Slinkus Gallentus Gallente Infinite Order	Posted - 2008.11.20 16:10:00 - [3] Originally by: Furb Killer Sure when my guns do the damage they say they do, then your missiles can do the damage they say they do. I can assure you dreadnaughts will become much more popular with that change... I agree. It should be the same for hybrids and projectiles also. I'm Gallente. Missiles are hardly my thing either but my point still stands.
Slinkus Gallentus Gallente Infinite Order	Posted - 2008.11.20 16:32:00 - [4] Originally by: Josef Odinssen the key to this is DEVELOPING. they arent NERFING MISSILES in order to fit NEXT GENERATION RAIL GUNS. get the point? Actually I think it is you that doesn't understand this is a game my friend. IRL there is an arms race. In Eve there is an arms balance. If we had continuous development in this game as in real life then new stuff would have to come out with every patch. ie. ships would have to have better armor/shields/propulsion/ewar defence to compensate for the increased damage from weapons. This holds for mods too, with a new armor hardener with better hardening, or new shield resist with better resistance. Soon, these would both be reaching 99.9% hardening/resistance, and then 99.99%, and the 99.9999% etc etc. It makes far more sense to nerf than to increase.

Sure, this is a space game but it should reflect reality in some places and explosions are one thing that I feel should be reflected accurately. Go back to your basic physics class. Any explosion travels outward from the source at a set speed. Travelling faster than that speed will out-run it. This is the principle of speed tanking. RL: A jet travelling faster than the speed of sound (read: interceptor) can outrun the blast of a nuclear bomb since the shockwave travels at the speed of sound. Well, not exactly no. If a missile hits a plane the explosion travels through the plane from the point of impact. It doesn't matter what speed the plane is going. If what you were saying were accurate then a plane would be able to fly away from the impact without damage if it is traveling supersonically. This clearly isn't true as any downed interceptor pilot will tell you. Your point about nothing impacting in Eve seems wrong also. If there was no actual impact there would be no kinetic damage. No contact means no transference of momentum ie. no kinetic energy can be transferred to the impacted item.

No **** sherlock. cheers "Life is not one big joke. Life is 40,000 little jokes all lined up"
Slinkus Gallentus Gallente Infinite Order	Posted - 2008.11.21 04:05:00 - [7] Why is the word N a z i being censored? It's a legitimate word that can be used in non-derogatory terms. Are you going to censor black and white too? cheers "Life is not one big joke. Life is 40,000 little jokes all lined up"

Yeah and we have them with Vikings, Normans and Romans. They gonna ban those too? cheers "Life is not one big joke. Life is 40,000 little jokes all lined up"
