i love how lasers got nearly the same boost and less tracking nerf , while they already had the best tracking and little nerf on that is not realy a loss then nerf the rails already bad tracking by a huge amount :I
The other hilarious thing? CCP says in the beginning of the thread here that medium rails will still track ~17% better than battleship neutron blasters. Are you JOKING? That kind of tracking, on a ship that moves WAY FASTER, against TARGETS that move way faster? Literally the ONLY way you'll be able to hit ANY target is if you're at some obscene 70-120km optimal. That's it. Massive pigeonholing into a stupid engagement envelope nobody uses. Battleships can get away with poor tracking guns because they're slow, and their main target is slow. Cruisers and battlecruisers cannot.
Worse is the fact that, to show the talos tracking worse in their example, they used ammunition with a tracking penalty. So the rails DON'T actually track better. |

The damage and fitting could stay tiered, but having the range so harshly tiered makes the smaller guns within the groups almost worthless. Especially since the range is so bad, and even with the better tracking of these lowest tier guns in comparison to higher tiers, they get outperformed by the largest tier short ranged medium guns of each type.
Alternately, could leave the stats the same on dual 150s and quad lights, and give them a signature resolution of 40. It always seemed like they should track like frigate class weapons if they were claiming to be double/quad frigate weapons. :) |

He's done this a few times in the HAC thread, too. I suppose he's decided the player base cannot be pleased, and he'll just put down what changes he feels like. =P |

And, once again, he used ammunition that gives a tracking penalty to the talos to show that the medium rails track better. :/ |

Mournful Conciousness wrote:In this case I agree - rapid light missile launchers are too OP. They need to be nerfed.
Alternatively, consider that the "dual" or "quad" style turret weapons may be underpowered. Tiericide seems to be a thing even among weapons now, so perhaps make the dual and quad weapons fire at frigate size. They already have worse tracking than their light variants in addition to the signature size. I think it would be neat to see a strong reason for taking the light weaponry of a class, as there currently exists in missiles.
That said, HMLs need to get some damage back. Damage shouldn't be quite that close to the low end of the class. :/ |
