With all the proposals to nerf minmatar ships, I thought i'd offer some out of the box thinking and ask for one of them to be buffed.
As it stands right now, there is very little reason to use a Muninn (if im wrong, please educate me) because the hurricane outshines it in every way at short range, and the Zealot outshines it in most every way at long range.
My proposal is to: 1. drop the drone bay and a launcher slot for an extra turret slot and 175 extra power grid 2. change the 5% ROF and 5% damage bonuses to a 10% damage bonus.
This does nothing for it's short range capability (in fact it slightly lowers DPS and versatility) but at long range, it is the alpha strike king. It still has less EHP and DPS than the zealot @ 100 km but it does three times as much volley damage.

What assault cruiser is worth buying? You may as well fly a BC or save for a T3.
They all need a damage buff imo...

Muninn is a sniper HAC, a role in which it excels. No changes needed.

Clueless. The only worthless HACs are the Diemos and the Eagle, for two very different reasons.

It must take a special kind of thinking to look at the three sniper HACs and decide that the one that needs boosting is the Muninn.

can I have the use for the muninn explained to me? Im looking at it, and see that @ 100 km (a snipers usual role now that on grid probes are so OP) it has less EHP and less DPS than a zealot . . . doesnt that make the zealot better in every way that matters?
I know that the muninn has some defenses against tackle, but IMHO if you got your sniper fleet tackled, youre already fail.

Black Legion with their alpha-strike muninns would argue with you. Look at their KB first.

See that number under DPS in EFT? That's volley damage, and that's why people use artillery guns. Do you honestly know the first thing about PVP? Because it doesn't seem like it.

Alpha, damage type selection, balanced resist profile, stronger practical cap and two utility highs as advantages over the Zealot.
Moderate range advantage over the Hurricane, balanced resist profile, faster, tracking bonus, etc.

not sure about the Muninn needing a boost... What is a concern are these cries to nerf the Minnie ships as a whole?why? Minmatar ships are the hardest in game to fly well..given the vast range of skills needed..ergo..they should be good or better than most other races ships just for the sake of balance.. i.e if something takes longer to do and do well...then it stands to reason it should be better..and yet..we appear to trail in the wake of the Geddon and Abbadon BS fleets..are behind the drake fleets..have crap dreadnoughts etc. Not asking for a boost but at the very least..Minnie ships should be kept the same..either that..or make all races equally have to cross train to be effective in their ships.

Quote: Minmatar ships are the hardest in game to fly well..given the vast range of skills needed
This is a myth. Tanking skills are easy to train up and the only ships Minmatar really need missile skills for is the Typhoon and Hound (the former not even having missiles as compulsary.) Minmatar as a race can function very well with just gunnery and shield skills. Obviously drones as well, but all races need those.
Quote: i.e if something takes longer to do and do well...then it stands to reason it should be better
Pure idiocy. I suppose you also think that price should equal effectiveness as well?
Edit: oh and for your information, Caldari are actually more skill intensive than Minmatar if you want to make full use of their lineup. Minmatar can get by with the vast majority of their ships with just gunnery and shields or armour - Caldari are neatly split down the middle into guns and missiles with EWAR on the side. If you ignore gunnery or missiles, you lock yourself out of half the race.
If Minmatar ignore missiles, they lock themselves out of... two ships. Wow. In fact not even that - they lock themselves out of one ship and one setup for another. |

Fortunately, EVE is not a game where that logic is employed. Bigger (in whichever way you choose to measure it) is not better. Instead, the longer something takes to do and do well, the more specialised it will be at that one very narrow thingà and it will suck in every other respect.
àand the myth about minny being hard to train is, as explained above, just that: a myth. |

Yes, see, had you read my proposal, you would know that I was trying to improve, the one thing that the matari are good at.
Originally by: Feligast "Alright, we're going up against Alphafleet, which has an explosive hole, so all Zealots switch to explosive ammo.......oh wait"

You do realize that the muninn has the same problem right? switching to anything besides Tremor, even domination carbonized lead means a 25% cut in damage, both volley and DPS which, unless they have a >25% hole, negates the bonus you'd get by switching to their weakness.
I understand the value of an alpha strike fleet which is why I was trying to buff that aspect of the ship, but what I dont see is this use for the muninns you all claim to have.
In the dozens of PvP videos ive seen, and in my own experience, ive seen plenty of videos featuring the Zealot, in fact ive seen videos centered around the zealot, but ive seen only a handful of Muninns.

Ok sure, 3 ships - one of which has missiles as optional and one is a capital.

So basically, you want to fix what isn't broken. Yeah you still seem like an idiot to me.

Oh look, someone else who's utterly clueless about HACs. The Caldari ones are both useless for sniping for two different reasons, and the Gallente don't have a viable sniper. (Diemos being lolterrible and the Ishtar having issues with drone abandonment.)

Well... the Gallente don't really have a sniper HAC. Sure you have the Sentry-Ishtar and the Rail-Deimos... but the former has to sit still lest it abandon its [only] weapons... and the latter can't fit the long range weapons without horribly gimping the ship with CPU/Powergrid mods and cannot hit out very far without further gimping the ship.
So yeah... there are only 3 "sniper HACs" (4 if you must include the Cerberus).
As far as the Muninn... it does its job well. It's a mobile, long range, sniper platform designed the fire off a massive volley and GTFO. The drones the Munnin has gives it a degree of flexibility that is trademark of the Minmitar race as a whole (even if it is a T2 ship). I see no need to change it. _______________________

I agree with the thought that many minne ships don't need nerfs. The main issue is lackluster gallente and caldari, and fail-guns either race uses.

Well, I'm not going to argue the technicalities since it's not too important, but I agree that as sniper ships, the Caldari are bad, and the Ishtar isn't good, but imo all three can work.
In any case, I agree, Muninn is lolpwn as is, needs no buffs. -
