Quite a lot of people trained for missile skills for the very reason that they were without a shadow of a doubt the best weapon in the game, hell most pilots train missiles whether they are Caldari or not, I bet nearly half the players out there trained missiles as as their primary weapon of chocie.
Now they have been reduced slightly, and they are upset... I use missiles too, but I'm not going to cry about it... I'm glad they have actually given you a reason to think before deciding which weapons to train.
Missiles still, given an equal amount of training to guns, do more damage per shot to their intended size targets, can hit at range and close up with no reduction in damage or change to the chance of hitting, they have the best range of all the weapons, they are still. So it now does f'all damage to small targets now... oh... dear. Seriously try hitting a small target at close range with artillery, or any target at long range with autos then complain that missiles have been nerfed too much.
The range reduction only affects some missile types as well...
 Quote:
Light, heavy and cruise precision missiles will now do more damage to smaller targets and will have a penalty of -50% range.
Rocket, assault missile and torpedo javelin missiles will now do -10% less damage but range has been increased by 50%.
Rage rocket, assault missiles and torpedoes and Fury light, heavy and cruise missiles will do less damage to their own ship class but will do more damage to a larger ship class. They will also have a -10% range reduction.
Only precision missiles have been drastically reduced in range.
Did you notice cruis missiles now do more damage to targets above their size group? or the range increase to assault missiles? |

... Cruise missles shoot only larger itemsłas they were intedned to ...
People keep saying this, but CM Expl. Vel. is far lower than BS base speeds. So CMs don't fully hit larger ships.
Cruise missile expl. vel = 500
Average BS speed = 100-150
And yes skills can make speeds faster... but they can also increase expl. vel.
Even with a good AB these ships are slower than the expl. vel. of cruise missiles... |

And compared to turrets now, its a fricking joke. Large turrets can hit anything at long range, full power. Speed doesn't matter and size has little relevance at those ranges. But yet missles got nerfed SO damn much compared to those turrets, missles will be thrown out the window and turrets will become the norm for just about all ship.
Seriously...why would I use a cruise missle to shoot a BS at say, 80km, where it will do maybe 60% of its dmg when I can use a large turret that won't be affected by its speed and do full dmg and possibl crits? It's really a no brainer.
Missles just got fu*ked, hard-core!
This needs to be re-adjusted very soon CCP.
Seriously, do you use turrets ever? They do NOT do full damage at long range... they get far more glancing and light hits. Not to mention missiles in general do more damage per shot anyway. Oh and adding of course that a turret is either good at long or short range, whereas the missile remains just as effective from 0m to its max range..

Wrong.
Cruise Missile Expl. vel = 69 m/s.
Forgot to check a fact or two before typing?
No was at work and assumed CCP had updated their website item index... should have known better
500 down to 69 ... are you sure? seems unlikely, but I'll wait till I can check it myself.
