i can understand the nerf for missiles against smaller ships however the way the nerf has affected missiles against larger targets is absurd.damage has dropped by over 50% against battleships now i wonder if all gun platforms were nerfed by 50% damage how happy would people be?
missile boats are now pointless

How about 400% tracking nerf guns got while in webrange? And yeah, people are not exactly happy. |

You're not the only one ****ed. Blasters got nerfed hard as well as someone else said. Not to mention the fact that if we want something resembling our old, lackluster dps we need to fit a target painter. So glad we have spare mid--.. oh wait. That's our tank |

These threads actually do have a point, and are constructive. It lets CCP know, publicly that someone is very unhappy with their product. Plus, Zulupark said they look at forums for feedback first. |

Oh please do hush it with the complaining about missiles getting nerfed; they needed it, seriously. The only ones complaining are Caldari because their easy killing has ended; yes it may now require some skill for Caldari in this game to kill other players now. And yes, Blasters also took a spanking in this expansion, which is what I rely on; oh well, I'll deal with it. |

Hopefully thins means i wont have to look at as many Achura faces in ambulation, which imo is more of a blessing than i think everyone realises. |

Dunno what your talking about, I finsihed off 4 battleships on a single reload in my drake. The higher end lvl 4 battleships took only 1 reload from my drake. |

probably the most frustrating thing is that when ure faced with a slower bs in a mission or many bs as the case may be to drop the damage by like 60% is a bit overboard in my opinion and as it happens im primarily a gunner rather than missiles and i fly galente and caldari equally so the effect on me is limited... however if i feel something is wrong then i think i should be able to voice my opinion :)
and outta curiousity nova how many cruise or torp launchers do u have on your drake?

The people who are really going to get hurt by this are solo pilots who don't have support ships. The solo battleship has taken a huge hit in usefulness. Small/large gang pvp is actually going to be more interesting as people will have to put some thought into setting up a support fleet. Having the winning balance of dps/ewar/support/webbing/painting/etc will be a greater deciding factor than the number of battleships you can spam the field with. We might even see a use for small and midsize ships (other than just the falcon :p) in large scale battles again. Difficulty is up across the board, so there's not much point complaining, but things will be more interesting! |

the whole thing seems to be benficial to me as i primarily fly AF`s however form a game perspective i think this patches nerfs are a big negative and will be detrimental to the game its like removing lasers as a viable weopen etc

It makes sense to have missiles easily speed-tanked. They are equally effective anywhere in optimal, and have a fairly large optimal range (about equal to must guns + falloff). Guns generally have a very small range of distance where they're effective (too close and tracking fails, too far and you're losing most of the dps to falloff). So you have the choice of very effective only at a single range or half-decent anywhere within maximum range. The reason for choosing one weapon system over another is that it's DIFFERENT rather than BETTER now, which I think is what CCP is going for here. |

Nano is nerfed.
