Since ships can be locked to a specific missile damage type buff it makes sense that there would be rigs to increase a specific missile damage type.
Shield rigs have damage specific resists, why not give us missile rigs that are damage specific?
This has probably already been addressed. I searched and didn’t see. Possibly posting in the wrong place.
No, you’re not getting a damage rig that bypasses stacking penalties. 
Insipid.
Insipid? It was interesting enough for you to open, read, and reply to.
So the bypass of stacking is why. Thanks for the info.
Well I don’t know about the rig, but, if you’re using missiles in PvP you’ve already lost.
Stacking penalties are applied to individual properties, so it can’t be bypassed.
Regarding the suggestion: Why?
Except for some ships that have bonuses to some damage types (ex. Drake), you have the flexibility to change damage type with a simple reload of the launchers and have equal DPS. That’s very useful for PvP.
For PvE, increasing significantly one damage type that deals with mission/local rats in one specific region of space creates a significant increase in destroyed ships per hour. Sure, you’ll get a bit more ISK, but everyone else will, which creates inflation (your ISK will be worth less).
Incorrect. See, e.g., damage controls, reactive hardeners, and normal armor hardeners. All modify the same properties.
DCs and reactive hardeners both have the “Armor (type) Damage Resistance” attribute, while something like an energized membrane, active hardener, or armor resistance rig has the “(type) Damage Resistance Bonus” attribute.
Damage controls and reactive hardeners are stacking penalized with each other, but neither are stacking penalized with standard armor hardeners (which are all penalized against each other).
The penalty is applied per unique attribute. If it were simply by property, everything would always be stacking penalized, including against things like hull bonuses modifying the same property.
A “+x% kinetic missile damage bonus” attribute would be a different attribute than the “missile damage bonus” found on a BCS or calefaction catalyst.
I was thinking of it making the kinetic locked ships more useful in min/amarr space.
But that does give a reason to fly a variety of ships!
Why not simply use a general damage rig and enjoy the boost to all damage types? They already exist.
Is why.
With that the kinetic locked ship still does less damage with the other damage types. I have a Drake and I like flying it.
If I could sacrifice a rig slot to up the damage of a Nova missile and get similar DPS as I’m getting from the kinetic I might do so and fly it in min space.
Drake Navy Issue solves your problem.
except rockets, rockets are great for pvp. you have to outrun rockets for them to do no damage, which is difficult in brawling range.
Features and Ideas section of the forum.
Why not have four separate rigs and one multi type of damage boosts.?
Because people would abuse it.
For this idea to work, the single-damage-type rig would obviously need to be stronger than the allround-damage rig. Else nobody would prefer the single-type over the general one.
Now what people would do is simply use the kinetic-rig on the Drake, combining the damagemods in the lowslots with the already strong ship bonus plus the rig-bonus that exceeds the power of the usual damage rig that is stacking-penalized with the the damagemods. Focusing on Kinetic wouldn’t be a problem for the Drake as it is fighting with that damage type anyway and another unpenalized at least 20% raw damage increase on top of it is simply crazy strong.
As is the case for 99% of the ideas that players present on this forum…
This sounds great, until it’s applied at the high end.
I have max missile support skills, Cruise Missile Spec 5, and Marauders 5. When I run level 4 missions with a Golem, it vaporizes everything not a battleship with a single volley.
I also fly Cerberus, because the 25% bonus to kinetic missile damage is already high enough that it doesn’t matter if it’s your resist hole or not, it’s gonna still do a lot of damage. I already do almost 800 dps with Scourge Rage HAMs, but sure, let me kick that up to 1000 dps, I see no issues there.
