Core | Turret Mechanics

Thanks so much for your patience as I develop new content in my very busy schedule. I very much appreciate your continued attention and eager commentary. Thank you, all.
This is a bit of a long-awaited video, and for the sake of brevity I had to cut some of the material short (the video is already over one hour long, sorry). As such, I didn't get a chance in the video to talk about how damage is modified based on chance. Please see below the maths for calculating damage with hit chance - and the part which decides whether what you deal is a grazing shot or a wrecking blow.

Special thanks to EVE University for the use of materials from the UNI Wiki. This is still the best resource for new players wanting to learn anything at all about EVE.

I am a week old player and these videos are ridiculously helpful. I have learned so much from watching you, thank you very much. I just subscribed just for you:) o7 Please do more videos!

[@JuriusDoctor]

I definitely will. If there's some you want to see me develop, let me know. Also, check out the CORE videos in my channel.

[@TimsMissions]

I wish you still did Eve vids. Still #1 New Eden guide on KZbin! Game has got alot better! Slide back in. Your faction needs you!

[@JuriusDoctor]

Soon™ ... Never was a Faction Warfare fan, but maybe with the changes.

[@heavydawn6053]

I've been playing for a few months now and I'm still finding that I'm learning which is great, thank you.

[@JuriusDoctor]

That's the right attitude to have. Keep at it.

[@Kendro311]

Been playing EVE for 12 years, still found this helpful in clarifying grey areas for me. Great vid, thanks!

[@GnoneckOG]

You need more spotlight. Great content can be found here. Outlining where you can find more information on very critical information. Doesn't use acronyms that a moderately seasoned player needs to understand. Articulate. Could use a bit of voice work, but hell I love this. o7

[@JuriusDoctor]

Thank you for your very kind words. Very appreciated.

I used to tutor physics 101 at my uni, and I've gotta say, that pizza analogy for transverse motion was pretty wild. :D

I know this video Is pretty old so hopefully you see this. For skills of "turret damage or rate of fire" does that apply to missile launchers or only actual bullet or laser turrets

[@JuriusDoctor]

Missile launcher skills are separate. Anything specifically referring to turrets is a gunnery skill. Missiles and Gunnery skills are separated into their own groups in the skills window of your character sheet (Alt+A)

If eve online has a god, he send you. I am sure of it. Thank you so much for your videos! :-)

So nice of you

[@DancingWhiteBuffalo]

Mr. Jurius Doctor, In game, when moussing over my guns I see what is basically a double set of red rings. One red shaded area appears to be between my ship and the optimal range distance. The other red shaded area appears to be just inside of the falloff range. Any chance of doing an explanation of these two red shaded areas and what they really mean? If you can't tell by the question I am very new to eve.

[@primal2k7]

One must be lock range and the other is optimal range. I can be wrong..

[@FuaConsternation]

30:00 to cut to the chase about transveral and tracking

[@thecruelfairy]

Been a subscriber for a while and was wondering if you stream?

[@JuriusDoctor]

I have been streaming gameplay of Destiny 2 and Apex Legends, mostly because those tend to hold streamer attention better than EVE, but I do stream. I am in the middle of a move right now, though, so no streaming for at least the next 2 weeks.

[@thecruelfairy]

great help thx

[@vincentfeildescallar6793]

Very Informative.

[@sir_slimestone3797]

"but don't get excited cause there is math" Math can be fun if the topic is interesting, and shooting people better is interesting

[@yourfavoritejojo5235]

Can you reexplain how to use the turret calculator it was kinda confusing where the values came from

[@mylosovich24]

@51:10 Whewt!!!! Go Canada bud!!!

Don't you pull a Jonny pew on us. You are Videos are almost as good as his. I don't even remember what his videos were like... Why did he have to delete them all 😭😭😭

[@JuriusDoctor]

He's back, and uploading some of his old DED content. That said, I have no intention of going anywhere. I'm here to stay.

[@FliskerX]

These are great vids, I would just like to ask, can the angular speed be compared to the tracking speed of turrets or is there any way to compare it ? I mean, if turret says 0.15689 tracking or something, can I then look at object in space that is doing like 0.123658... and think "ok, I can track this perfectly since it's within capability of my turret tracking speed" ? I'm playing eve on and off since end of 2004 and I still don't know this, I just "wing it", usually use angular in format x.xxx and have kinda sense what is too much, but I don't think these two are directly comparable right ? The tracking speed and angular speed. Or there is something more to it than just "if turret tracking speed is less then angular velocity and you are in optimal range and got proper gun vs sig radius of the ship you 100% hit it". Any responses to this topic would be amazing :) edit: Finished the video, need no extra information ;)

Hubble doesn't take pictures. It produces images from data.

[@JuriusDoctor]

This is the most inane thing I've read since Trump left office. The data it transmits is optical in nature, ten Terabytes a year, in fact, which is actually significantly less than your average professional sports photographer, but the images are taken at such a ridiculously high quality that scientists are able to isolate and expand portions to a ludicrous degree. Its primary mirror is more than seven feet across. www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/story/index.html

[@JuriusDoctor]

That it is capturing more than the visible light spectrum doesn't invalidate the fact that it is, quite literally, a very large off-world camera. Any more than the FLIR systems are called Forward-Looking Infrared CAMERAS.

[@Prometheus4096]

Dude, if you shoot 10% faster, you do 10% more damage, on average...

[@JuriusDoctor]

If all your shots are landing. I.e. Tracking, falloff, or some other variable doesn't deplete your accuracy/effectiveness

[@Prometheus4096]

@@JuriusDoctor Are you saying that some RNG modifications do apply to the base value but not to the percentage?

[@JuriusDoctor]

@@Prometheus4096 I'm not a dev, and I don't see the code, so anything I remark would be an assumption and kindly likely to be wrong. That said, if it's an RNG on percentile or RNG on chance to hit, whether you're in falloff or not, and how good your tracking is, either way it comes out as a wash. Unless your target is sitting dead still and you're moving without prop at speed, your unlikely to do max damage potential every shot.

[@Prometheus4096]

@@JuriusDoctor So you have never heard of the law of large numbers?
