I dont know why but I can't seem to hit anything. I am piloting a Thorax and was using 125mm railguns which hit ok at around 10km but frigates will do circles around me and I cant get any hits. I have 5 drones but they cant not seem to hit the frigates either. These are NPC frigates btw. I tried using both rail guns and blasters with the same missing 100% of the time effect. PLEASE HELP!!!
To combat frigates you should be using a Destroyer at the heaviest. I'm assuming these are missions you're running?
People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome. ~River Tam

yeah they are level 2 missions and I am using a cruiser. They are a bunch of other ships as well but I cant take out their damn frigates!!!
I run level 2s in a destroyer. Where are you running these missions at?

I run level 2s in a battlecruiser...I've had similar problems before as I use railguns, but they rarely happen. When I can't hit something, my drones almost always can.
I'd say it's because the frigates are moving too fast. What kind of drones are you using.

they made some changes to the way combat works, ok, being able to hit stuff and the amount of damage dealt, is related to ship size, sig radius, and velocity.
the best way of dealing with frigates if your in a cruiser or a battlecruiser, is to use light combat drones, warrior II's are probably the best for this, but even tech I hobgoblins should do the trick, unless.... mwd's its possible for frigates to have a mwd fitted which can increase their velocity well above 4k m/s in which case, drones have a hard time catching up to them, there are a few ways around this (vigil min tech I frigate with a 1mn mwd and 3 overdrives can hit around 5k m/sec!!) the first is to use a target painter and hit it with missiles - target painters i think also enable you to hit stuff with guns too, webs, if you web the target you can slow them down so much they can't avoid being hit.. and of course there is the trusty weapon upgrade method, if you are using projectiles, tracking enhancers/boosters can definitely help - and increase your range too, but how about the obvious ones, skills, have you trained up your gunnery skills, there are quite a few so its worth checking, the important ones are;
well heres mine anyway :D

and if you can spot the unintentional mistake in my gunnery skills, lol, well when i learned it i thought it was for projectile weapons, doh.....
anyway, if your in a cruiser or a bc or even a bs, your probably going to struggle to hit frigates anyway, unless you use drones
