Pokey Dravon OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 5906	Posted - 2015.04.17 23:21:00 - [1] - Quote It's that time of the week again for another guide over at Biomassed.net Again this week is another guide more directed towards new players, but may also serve as a good reference tool for veterans as well. A Fundamental Guide to Weapon Ranges Your feedback is appreciated as always. Expect at least one new guide every week, at the very least I'll be publishing one every Friday. Thanks for reading!

Scheneighnay McBob And the ButtPirates 6076	Posted - 2015.04.18 00:00:00 - [3] - Quote The mass drivers' sights should be looked at: what range every mark is for. I believe the bottom-most mark is for 50m, but I'm not entirely sure. Some details can be ignored

Shamarskii Simon The Hundred Acre Hood Rise Of Legion. 334	Posted - 2015.04.18 00:22:00 - [5] - Quote I know small rails have damage fall-off, I'm unsure for large rails. The ADS tourney! Join today!
Vell0cet OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 2962	Posted - 2015.04.18 00:26:00 - [6] - Quote This was a lot of work. Thanks for putting it together. It's really nice having a single, up-to-date reference. Are you sure about flaylocks and mass drivers having infinite range? They appear to detonate in the air if you try to fire them too far away (not even that far really). I'm not an expert but I think this could be inaccurate. One idea for another article (that should be much less work) is explaining the math behind stacking penalties. I see a lot of players get confused by this. Best PvE idea ever!

Correct: MD and Flayock rounds do detonate mid-air after a certain distance. Same with Plasma Cannon rounds. Purifier. First Class.

I will update to clarify however. "That little s**t Pokey..." --CCP Rattati, Biomassed Episode 032 Dust514 // Podcast & Blog www.biomassed.net

Megaman Trigger Ready to Play 280	Posted - 2015.04.18 00:37:00 - [10] - Quote Also; I believe the Forge has a 300m range, the same as Large Rail Turrets. Purifier. First Class.

Fat fingered that one, it's supposed to say 300. "That little s**t Pokey..." --CCP Rattati, Biomassed Episode 032 Dust514 // Podcast & Blog www.biomassed.net
Vell0cet OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 2965	Posted - 2015.04.18 01:22:00 - [12] - Quote So what are the ranges of the flaylock and the mass driver? I don't think it's more than 100m (but I certainly could be wrong). Is it different for different tiers or variants (i.e. assault/breach)? I don't think I've ever seen those numbers before. The plasma cannon has a much longer range I believe. Best PvE idea ever!

The plasma cannon has a much longer range I believe. Tough to say, when I checked the database their absolute range is listed as -1 which is CCP talk for "there is no absolute range" yet the behavior you described is indeed true. Chances are there is a hard limit on projectile range that isn't tied to the actual weapon, in cases where there is no absolute range to override it.

Yeah, I think that number in the database indicates that it does full damage (or splash) at all ranges that it hits for, but is completely unrelated to the max travel distance of the projectile. Best PvE idea ever!

Yeah. I mean it doesn't really matter because the weapons isn't operationally viable at those ranges anyways. Typically you're going to be using those weapons well within that max travel distance.
