| Turrets are the most common weapon in EVE, and come in many different flavors. Not that missile launchers are NOT turrets, they work pretty much entirely differently. Different races and pirate factions generally use different turrets, and have their hulls bonused for them. | Turrets are the most common weapon in EVE, and come in many different flavors.

| ===== Chance to Hit and the Tracking Formula ===== | ===== Chance to Hit and the Tracking Formula ===== | ||
| EVE has a lot of maths behind how turrets work, and it basically boils down to a single formula, which determines your chance to hit. Unfortunately CCP just changed things, and the version of the tracking formula everyone has isn't quite correct any more and I'm far too lazy to go and fix stuff. Fortunately there are only a few things we need to worry about with our chance to hit. | EVE has a lot of maths behind how turrets work, and it basically boils down to a single formula, which determines your chance to hit.

| ==== Angular and Transversal velocity ==== | ==== Angular and Transversal velocity ==== | ||
| This is how fast your ship and the enemy ship are moving past eachother, which word you use is based on whose perspective things are from. Basically, angular is how fast another ship is moving around you, transversal is how fast you are moving around another ship. Only perpendicular motion matters here, movement towards or away is ignored. It's hard to explain without pictures and I am very lazy, go read [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/2gv8j2/transversal_vs_angular/ckmtpx9|this reddit post]].

| ==== Distance and Range ==== | ==== Distance and Range ==== | ||
| How far away you are from your target. A far off target is easier to track, since their relative speed seems lower, but you also start to suffer from range penalties beyond your optimal range. From 0m out to your optimal you suffer no penalty due to range, from optimal onward you start to get a reduction to your chance to hit. At optimal + 1*falloff your chance to hit is reduced to 40% of it's previous value, at optimal + 2*falloff your chance to hit is less that 10% it's previous value. This means that beyond optimal + 2*falloff your chance to hit is effectively 0. | How far away you are from your target.

| Signature radius is how "big" a target is. High sig radius means a large target, which means easier to hit. Not a whole lot to be said here. | Signature radius is how "big" a target is. High sig radius means a large target, which means easier to hit. Not a whole lot to be said here. | ||

| ==== Weapon Accuracy Score ==== | ==== Weapon Accuracy Score ==== | ||
| For the vets among you, this is tracking a resolution rolled into a single stat. To anyone else, this is essentially how good your turret is at hitting things. A higher number means it's better at hitting smaller, faster targets. Larger turrets and long range turrets have lower accuracy. | For the vets among you, this is tracking a resolution rolled into a single stat.
