Because CCP hates armor, so they had to make a sidearm that one-two shots us with splash radius.
The splash radius seems a bit overkill considering we're slow like heavies.

I am simply comparing this handheld weapon, that can easily kill, to a missile turret that struggles to kill with splash damage.

Core flaylock pistol.
If my shields are gone (which are only 1/5th of my eHP), I am dead in two shots.

This is the same boat I am in. How a sidearm out performs the mass driver is beyond me.

Sloth I am using proto maxed missiles with 3 damage mods and infantry just may get hit with one missile while more missiles with splash damage do a little damage and they can still run away. Let me guess you use the cfp?

I am not saying the flaylock needs to be nerfed. I am asking why it is better than a missile from a turret.

Dude simply is a user of the cfp. As much as he defends it. When what was in question is the missile turret.

I have 10 million sp into my tanks. Not all into weapons but a lot into weapons and enforcer tank. Which gives a boost to missile damage, which is still ****. If you said missile turrets would OP I would fall out from laughter and ask you what game you were playing. Should I not complaint that a handheld weapon that took according to you a fraction of the sp i have spent to get where i am and im useless to kill infantry and your not?

If all four missiles actually hit where I was aiming I wouldn't be here having this conversation bud

Because Missile Turrets are underpowered.

The weapon is probably the best weapon in the game.

I don't use noob weapons I'm good

The problem is that the difference in splash and direct damage of the Flalock is 11% and for the large missiles its 80%. Whats worse is that the splash damage of the STANDARD flaylock is 195 and the prototype accelerated missile is 104 could someone please explain how that makes sense.

Hey man.... at least there not guided mini missiles like the devs hinted at before it was released, if they were i'd probably die of high blood pressure.....

No they haven't seen them because people haven't realised their MASSIVE dmg potential and haven't started using them in larger numbers for people to declare them OP, yet.

Also the core flaylock has a 2.5m radius which is 8.2ft

246.675 splash damage

The Core Flaylock's is broken because
1) 2.5m splash radius

2) 11% difference between direct and splash

3) Ability to carry 2 allowing for 6 shots before reloading

4) 643.5 base splash damage for 3 shots is enough to kill most dropsuits

5) It only takes 45 CPU and 2 PG to equip
