-45 days = 5 days 17h left for your Reset, counting from the time you made your post.

I cant wait to see the AoE weapons.
Really hope that its not just radial damage from explosions.

would like to see stuff like
- reflecting lasers (aka damage chain)
- piercing Railguns (hits others behind the target)
- swarming missiles (multiple missiles per launcher, no target lock necessary)

i may remind you,
that the longer-no-jump then protection-timer is in there because someone complained in beta, that their prey could use the inner teleporters to buy time or to get away.

since we have the "no teleport with pvp-flag" implemented, i dont know why that jump-timer is still in there, and why its longer then the syndicate protection at all.

IMHO , the problem is not "the low risk, high reward" on the alpha islands for anything

its the "high risk, low reward" on the beta island for the majority of the playerbase: single player or small corp, that dont have ownership on an outpost.

Styx's farming example is a bit the extreme.

When i was on beta island, in Joke - i couldn't do anything that i liked during the times i was on. Mining on Beta island cant be done AFK if none of your corpmembers is in TS to tell you intel, your allies kick you from TS because they fear spys, and NPC farming needs either good equipment or at least three player to be fun (2x DPS, 1x active Sequer looting)

Alpha island higher then rank1 spawns, that can be farmed alone with average equip and extensions are pretty rare (and those are camped very often).

Theres that really high wall you have to overcome between lvl1 and lvl2 regarding the difficulty (risk) , but it isn't reflected in your reward.

the guy who made the planner used a OCR software and screenshots to get the data.

You got the short answers already,
here are the detailed ones:

the chance to miss for missiles is independant of the size of the target. The always have 10% "chance to miss" minus 1% per rank in "missile guidance"

given the fact, that without extensions, a medium missile will do only 40% of the damage against an assault, 30% on a small bot and 27% against an EWAR Bot...

... everything else in your post is way off the reality.
not to forget, that a waspish has a range bonus and can shoot its small missiles on longer ranges then a mech can shoot with short range medium missiles.

last but not least, with a little investment in a certain extension, a small missile will always have a 10% damage bonus against mechs (like any other small weapon)

wall of text: give the politic/economic tree more extensions with higher complexity ?

i dont think its cheap to kill small rookie mantis with a kain and a tyrannos at all.

the ammo you shoot there is more worth then the loot you get.

at the same place, my gf was with her full-industrial TM-A agent, in a castel and not a single weapon extension above the starter ones, just two ranks in locking time and 3 in sensor connection - and killing those mantis in two to three salvos.

its hard to guess who worked more money efficient.

write one.

i would have done already long time ago, if had macro-skills in excel or access.

i would say, that medium hcl lasers are sold by infinite orders on ICS alpha marks this as a grand bug...

nope, they are not ignoring the issue, it just takes time, or m2s to find a very unbalanced way to exploit it. (like their Suicide ganking in beta turned the alpha island from only 50% protected police zone to 100% non-pvp syndicate protection zone)
