Missile Defense

How good are speed tanking and defender missiles when trying to avoid damage from incoming ordinance? The PROMI team takes a scientific look at this problem by shooting missiles and torpedoes at each other.

I want to know. How many missles you fired, or at least the fire rate from your defender missles and the rate of fire from the battlecruiser.

@atommicatgmaildotcom well let me put it this way for you atom. i fly dramiels which is the fastest frig in game. i engaged a small group consisting of a battlecruiser(drake) cruiser (caracal) and a frigate(merlin)

the cruiser and battlecruiser were using missiles the frigate was not it was using blasters or rails i cant remember prolly blasters. i killed the caracal annoyed the bc and had to gtfo because of the frigate. missiles just dont work on frigates using a dual prop system

[Generaltyler1]

try using for other ships instead of a frigate.

how fast were you going? is it good only against torpedoes or al missiles?

[darian1968]

By the looks of it better to use F.O.F at that rate as long as you have no drones. thats my thought fly safe everyone. 0/

I think if CCP makes it so defenders can hit missiles aimed at friendly targets, and if they make a larger size defender for cruise and siege launchers that does 4x damage, people would use defenders. They wouldn't be overpowered, but they could certainly be strategically important.

I bet people were bitching about no missle counters when the game was in beta or upon release, so CCP decided to make the defenders. As a big fuck you. How dare we question the superiority of the Caldari that the great CCP loves so much?!?!
