"Even if the Caldari have not engaged in war for many decades, they still strive to be at the cutting edge of military technology and their vessels, weapons and fighting methods are inferior to none but the enigmatic Jove." -EVElopedia

All missile turrets in the current iteration of the game are Caldari. Ergo, according to lore, Caldari missiles are better than Minmatar missles. But for the sake of balance they're really not.

I think all missiles need is to be able to aim straight, or at least not fire in random directions.

i'd be in favor of reducing damage a lot in place of increasing splash by a lot.

I also want to suggest giving missiles lock on abilities with reduced tracking than swarms against vehicles and small flight correction on dumbfire to hit infantry easier, as currently my salvos fly directly past their suits at close to medium range so I either have to resort to splash damage (which is terrible, unless buffed!) or try aiming slightly off-target to hit my target.

These current missiles are almost liking giving us a Javelin missile, except you tell us to fire it like an RPG because it can't actually lock targets and its guidance system is broken so there won't be any flight correction towards its target.

Either rename missile turrets to rocket turrets and bring in real missile turrets, or let me bring a Javelin into Dust! Because it sure as hell beats Dust's 'missiles'.

Edit: Here's another suggestion. Allow missiles to detonate at certain ranges, such that if the dropsuit your reticle is on is 15m away, instead of having the missiles fly past his head, they detonate 15m into their flight (which is where your target is at as well) and deal their splash damage. That would solve a major issue which missiles currently have against infantry.

As a large missile turret user, I would like to see an increase in splash radius, such that they have 5m splash radius with the fragmented missiles spreading further out to a 7.5m splash radius.

Also, give them more range! I remember back when I could fire my missiles over the mountains, switch to the map overview, and watch them fly off the map. If not 'infinite'-range, then give them range comparable to railguns. Railguns will always have more accuracy at range than missiles, as well as near instant dealing of damage. I hate firing at enemies that appear in range but then having my missiles explode in the air in front of them.

Their ships get better bonuses to missiles, and I think caldari navy and guristas are the best faction.

So they are in a way, game-play wise the tech edge is reflected.

Limited tracking on vehicles is ok. Tracking on infantry on the other hand would make missile turrets OP. Unless missile turrets took a huge damage nerf; but that would make them pointless against vehicles.

ok. who do we yell at?
