Hi

I noticed some frustrating things about missiles when it comes to faster unagile targets, or targets with long range and good stealth.

The missiles wil loose target or never catch up, making killing of the likes of Hawk's a chalange.

Could different missile stats be added to different augmenters, not just Gunner class augmenters, but also for class unspecific augs?

The biggest problem is missile speed, tracking and radar. The base stats are good on all missiles, but should be modifiable with augmenters for more effective mid and high level setups.

Even though I do not play, I agree. Every class in the game can be customized with augmenters, and every setup therefore has its owner's individual flavor. It acts in a slightly different way from user to user, that is what makes MMOs fun, giving everyone the same options and seeing the different choices they use them to make.

Missiles are completely stagnant though, they do not change, and are not customizable in any way from user to user. Things like higher turning, thrust, radar, and speed that you can gain at the expense of another stat would go extremely far in making gunner more fun, and versatile to play. I also understand that gunners are apparently obscenely powerful at the moment, but this would not be something to outright increase their strength, just something to allow people to modify missile behavior within their setups to account for different challenges.

Missiles are unscaled and OP because of it.

Any t20 player can use Large MIRVs. I use them on my FC, ShMs use them for free dps. It's like a good 40-50k mining damage on NON-gunners. Like why.

Hey fuckstick, if they changed missiles to be affected by augs, I bet they'd reduce missile base damage.

Nerf missiles, add gunner augs that give +missile stats so they are like Engi drones maybe?

This is actually useful input. If other classes are using missiles just for a large free DPS boost then they definitely need be looked at. A direct nerf to missiles and a survey of the augmenters most commonly used by Gunners (to ensure that you don't nuke people's existing setups) to determine which augmenters should receive missile bonuses, would go a long way toward both balancing missiles and their usage in a way that does not promote spamming them off of all classes for a large low-investment DPS gain.

Gunners who want to do actual DPS use the same augs that a Sniper or Zerker would. You can't add random missile stats on augs like that, because the balance sheets would require other stats to be taken away :/. Just like Fighters, Missiles cannot really be scaled with augs. And Fighters are generally useless in PvP and PvAI, Missiles are too OP for any class, much less Gunner.

Gunner is now the Go-To solo-every-uber class, just like Sniper was when Analysis was first added and you could kill any t20 uber with just a PSS and 10 minutes of afk time.

I don't see what's wrong with other classes using missiles.

I don't either. I just feel like the high end ones should be Gunner locked, so the free unscaled damage is locked to the class.

I dont see anything wrong with all missiles being open to all classes, gunners are the only ones that get bonus to missile damage, and thats fine.

My problem is that missiles wont hit sertain types of ai, as i hope was clairly described in my OP.

Thats why i propose mainly range, radar, tracking and speed to be effected by augmenters. Launch energy required is also something that comes to mind as a stat on augmenters.

There is no problem with every class using missiles. Its actully pretty cool, however MIRVs and some other missiles are hitting ridiculously hard for non gunner classes and even gunner class actually.

Any missile does more damage then any weapon at the tech level. If you cannot get dps augs, you can use missiles to out dps your shit weapons.
