So let me see if I can put your posts together into a coherent whole. When facing highly tracking enhanced medium guns, the 100mn Talos I was flying mitigates at worst 66% of the damage as compared to a similar 10mn MWD Talos. Both up close and at range it takes very little damage. A typical "nano range" BC would apply at best 33% of its DPS. This is from each medium gun damage source.
So when facing only a single damage source, I could reasonably expect to have the equivalent of a 40k EHP tank: 13k/.33 = 40k. Additionally, it's able to return damage to pretty much anyone on the battlefield. Tell me again how my fit sucks?

I find this part of the thread funny as hell. I think it's a damn shame we're discussing 100mn Talos fits but I think everyone with a brain has already drawn the correct conclusion: the problem isn't that the Talos (or Tier 3s) obsolete the Vagabond because it doesn't compete for the same role. The problem is that people don't value the things that a Vagabond does.
Is that to say that the Talos isn't a powerful ship? Well, no. It's a very powerful ship. But it's not competing with the Vagabond any more than the Megathron does.

Told you already why it dont think it neccessery to post it! Also the unlinked fit (what this is about, as a force multipled 10mn talos is way better then an unlinked vaga so IF we start from your point of view your entire argumentation that the vaga is fine makes no sense (as the talos then obsoletes it), but then we can conclude that a fully force multiplied 100mn talos is better or at least equal to a 10mn one (IF the 100mn one has links/snakes)) only miagtes at best (vs an unmoving or aproaching target) 33%, while in most situations it migates way less!
Also no you cant return damage to anyone on the battlefield, your damageprojection isnt better then a 10mn talos (depends on the fit tho).
My point was that a non force multiplied "truesolo" 100mn talos is inferior to the 10mn one, and that it doesnt migate much damage from medium guns (which even tho you saw the graphs, you fail to acknoledge)!
(Also a armor cane with dual webs puts out around 700dps vs your talos if its linked/snaked and heating at 2000m at a 90-¦ angle!) |

Nah, it's not that I'm not the only person that's right in Eve. It's that he's specifically wrong about virtually everything he's said about the way my fit works. It's that he spent 8 pages talking **** about a fit he never understood in the first place. It's that he doesn't even understand the relevant core mechanics of the game - which is, I think, an important thing when you're demanding nerfs. Which is why he refuses to post the graph - because he knows it illustrates just how ignorant he is about this game.
Honestly, I'm not terribly interested in talking about the 100mn fit and you might notice that I only answer questions and correct misperceptions - I didn't ever bring it up. But I do find it funny as hell how it catches EFT warriors off guard. ;-)

W0lf, I never said the fit was a TrueSolo(tm) fit. I said it worked well, had great damage projection, and great damage mitigation. It's a fit that's specifically designed to deal with the large amounts of damage and ranged damage that float around a modern battlefield and be able to return non-trivial damage to anyone on the battlefield - from frigate to battleship. You are the one that's brought this ship and fit up, and you are the one that refuses to drop it.
You asked a question ("How does it mitigate damage?"), and eventually I even made you answer it yourself: quite well indeed.

I think it does the things the vagabond is generally popular for more effectively (which is tough to disagree with) - nano faging from 30km with a few friends against slower targets or a larger force generally being why i'll fly a vaga. In-fact the 2 things a talos doesn't do better than a vagabond is raw speed and tracking against smaller targets (since higher dps of the talos with lower falloff still equates to similar dps across a variety of ranges). This is made up for by the Talos ability to use a 100MN AB and still be effective, this kills the vagabonds terrible fitting when trying 100mn fits.
Long story short: You have diluted this argument down to the pointless statements such as:
"But it's not competing with the Vagabond any more than the Megathron does."
Which is pretty much stupid and you damn well know it. The fact both ships have the same weapon bonuses doesn't put them in the same category and you cant honestly argue it does.
Apply some gang links to a talos and it reaches speeds that are acceptable in a nano-kiting scenario versus less mobile force. Agaisnt another nano-gang it may not be as fast, but every ship is limited by the range of warp disruption (which means straight line speed is pointless when both ships are hitting each other for similar damage at the engagement range) and if an MWD talos decides to straight-line any non mwd fit (read non 100mn-ab fit) it will catch it and it has terrifying dps for a ship with that kind of speed. It's EHP is comparable to a vagabond, which rules out that aspect and what are you left with?
A ship that has the same effect DPS ranges, EHP but lower speed and massively better DPS than a vagabond.
i think that is the point. If i was going to do anything other than killing frigs, i'd take a nado or talos. And even then, i've had pretty solid results smashing frigs with the nado. And again, if the point is killing frigs you wouldn't take a vagabond anyway - there are much better ships like the huginn.
and do address your point: " but I think everyone with a brain has already drawn the correct conclusion: the problem isn't that the Talos (or Tier 3s) obsolete the Vagabond because it doesn't compete for the same role."
No, i disagree. Everyone with a brain has stopped replying due to being drop-kicked by walls of texts from a few immovable objects. Their opinion makes no difference and they realised that. That being said, its 2am and i have lost my common sense and decided to post.
P.s. what is this role you think the vagabond plays that the talos doesn't even come close to? I cba reading 59pages of trash to re-find it. |

And no the one who brought up that 100mn taloi are better then 10mn ones was you, i never would have argued with you fi you claimed that a linked/(snaked) 100mn talos is better than a true solo 10mn one, yet you forgot to mention the force multipliers so your statement was wrong!
So far i have come to four conclusions,
1. we cant agree if a 10mn unlinked/unsnaked talos obsoletes the vaga (this may or may not come from the fact that you never leave amamake)
2. A unlinked and implantless 100mn talos is worse than a unlinked/unsnaked 10mn one 3. A Snakes/linked 100mn talos is better or at least equal to a 10mn one 4. A Snaked/linked 10mn talos makes a true solo (and to some extent even the linked ones at at one point more speed isnt helpfulll in the actual combat as you need to stay in range) vagabond/cynabal obsolete!

God damn, parsing the grammar in this was painful. Yes, like I said many times: I see the argument for the 100mn Talos obsoleting the Vagabond. I don't really agree because it's still quite vulnerable to frigates, which exceedingly common. The Vagabond is superior at killing small fry and has much better agility. When 100mn fit (it can be done with the same kinds of general trade offs), the Vaga has much better damage mitigation and a similar sized raw tank.
Quote: Long story short: You have diluted this argument down to the pointless statements such as:
"But it's not competing with the Vagabond any more than the Megathron does."
Which is pretty much stupid and you damn well know it. The fact both ships have the same weapon bonuses doesn't put them in the same category and you cant honestly argue it does.
See, the source of this assertion is that the Tuskers guys keep claiming that the only requisite for obsoleting the Vagabond is the ability to go 1200-1600 m/s and project a lot of damage from range. The Mega's able to fulfill both of those requirements and maintain a similar/superior sized raw HP tank. So is it a stupid thing to say? Yes. Am I saying it for a reason? Yes, because it's relevant to the argument we're having and has been specifically acknowledged as a Vagabond-obsoleter.

And again, if the point is killing frigs you wouldn't take a vagabond anyway - there are much better ships like the huginn.
The biggest thing that's wrong with this (IMO) is the assertion that the 10mn Talos will catch up to and kill the 100mn fit. I've repeatedly seen people try to do this but they consistently fail to do it. It's not that they can't catch me - they can - it's that they can't actually apply any damage while I apply it perfectly to their moon sized sig radius.
Again, I'm not saying that the Talos and Tier 3s in general aren't fantastic for nano fagging about I'm saying that they don't obsolete the Vagabond because they're quite a bit slower and have glaring weaknesses to the most common and easily obtained ships in the game. They're great DPS machines with a light tank, and they're fun as hell to fly and lose. But you're gonna lose them way more often than you'll lose a Vaga.

The talos really doesnt have a problem with most frigates, as long as its force multiplied, its faster then afs so it can just drag transversal to 0 and blap them, t1 frigates are even easier due to their sig bloom. The only frigs a competent talos pilot will fear are good ceptor pilots, that said good ceptor pilots will kill a vaga quite easily aswell!
And you somehow try to deny that the ac cane/arty cane/shield harby/podla drake are viable kting ships, all with a base speed of around 1300m/s! |

No, W0lf, I did not bring up the 100mn Talos fit. You did, in post #75. You did again just a couple of pages ago when you decided to **** up this forum with your blathering idiocy. Additionally, nobody is saying that cruisers dont 100mn well, but there's some problems with them (namely capacitor and agility).
With regards to your numbered assertions: 1. No, it doesn't obsolete the Vagabond. Simply slapping a MWD and a couple of TEs on something doesn't make it "nano". 2. Yes, that's true. Don't do that. 3. You don't need the snakes. But yes, it is definitely better than a 10mn Talos for the blob engagements I aim for. 4. No, it really doesn't. It's too vulnerable to the most common ships in the game. It's also not very fast and very very easily catchable.
Thank you for the admission in #3. I would have preferred a "Heretics are better than Tuskers" though. ;-)

I never said they did, i just said that 1600m/s is fast enough to kite (where you said that that indeed is impossible) so i brought up the cane/drake to which you replyed that you cant kite with 1300m/s! Thats all!
Also what does the vaga that the talos cant do aswell (besied killing frigates where the vaga is a bit better), the talos is a bigger, slower vaga that can draw off and kill frigates but can do the same thing to cruisers/bcs! SO you basicly fly a vaga with a bigger target pool!
Also i never ever said that force multiplied tier3s are bad, and i knew that they could do some fun stuff before ever visting this thread! So yes if there a competent pilot int he pod they can be quite good, they just arent very great true solo! |

If another talos direct line approaches you they will get in range. You are assuming that your "fly at an angle" strategy is unbeatable. I really don't understand why you are making this pointless argument. Both ships have the same combat ranges - by fitting a 100mn you are almost certainly having to down grade from neutrons, which means a 10mn talos doesnt even NEED to approach you, he has better effective range with neutrons anyway... He can sit stationary and he will have identical tracking to you (perhaps a little different since ion's would track better marginally). In the end that scenario comes down to tank, not mobility... or maybe lucky ec-300 jams.
Either way a 1v1 talos situation as you describe wouldn't happen unless you where against a rookie pilot who couldnt recognise a 100mn fit when he saw one. I'd hate to meet a neutron talos in an ion-100mn fit, cause the MWD talos can bail out of disruptor range if he thinks for a second hes going to loose, and you can do nothing about it. He KNOWS you can't out-dps him, so he wont bother approaching you or trying to get under your guns.. he'll just smash you until you realise your loosing and try to bail out... then straight line speed starts to matter.
Again, i dont want to get dragged into this argument and re-ignite it, but personal vendettas aside - the vagabond is NOT designed to kill frigates, so you will not fly one if that's what you want to do. Neither will you fly a talos for this.
If you want to sit at range and pick peoples HP apart without risking scram/web the vagabond can do this, but the talos can do it better but will NOT have the straight line speed of the vagabond.
That matters little though because anything that CAN catch it CAN'T out DPS it. |

Yes i brought the fit up ,as a response to your claimthat the 10mn talos was garbage and noone should fly it,
How is that an admission, my neighbors run 100mn tier3 gangs quite often so im well used to them and i know what they can do (well before this threash was even created), your neglect of mentioning that you were using it linked et to the impression that you were saying that point 2 is untrue (which can be proven as multiple post talk about your talos beeing 100m/s faster then the mwd one which is only the case when both are unlinked).
To point one i already sadi that we cant agree with it!
Also what ships is a 10mn force multiplied talos vulnuarble to that a vaga isnt? And its faster then a normal vaga by a bit! |

Also i never ever said that force multiplied tier3s are bad, and i knew that they could do some fun stuff before ever visting this thread! So yes if there a competent pilot int he pod they can be quite good, they just arent very great true solo!
I think we're going to have to agree to disagree about 1200 m/s being an acceptable kiting speed. You can do it but damn near everything in the game is faster than you now. It's not even hard to push battleships up that high. And in context of the thread - how these kinds of ships make the Vagabond obsolete - I'm just going to have to say: LOL.

How is that an admission, my neighbors run 100mn tier3 gangs quite often so im well used to them and i know what they can do (well before this threash was even created), your neglect of mentioning that you were using it linked et to the impression that you were saying that point 2 is untrue (which can be proven as multiple post talk about your talos beeing 100m/s faster then the mwd one which is only the case when both are unlinked).
To point one i already sadi that we cant agree with it!
Also what ships is a 10mn force multiplied talos vulnuarble to that a vaga isnt? And its faster then a normal vaga by a bit!
W0lf, I think you were reading things into my posts that weren't really there. I didn't say anything about a "10mn Talos" or "the 10mn Talos" or anything like that. I said [that[/i] Talos fit, specifically, was not something that obsoleted the Vagabond and was (IMO) a terrible fit. You proceeded to talk and talk and talk about something that was never part of the discussion.
With regards to me being wrong "on technicalities"... I wouldn't really agree. We were discussing nano snaked linked 10mn Taloses and how they made Vagabonds obsolete, and I freely admitted that I had links with my 100mn Talos. I never denied it and explicitly acknowledged it. I'm not sure how that constitutes misleading you. But whatever makes you feel better bro.
Quote:Also what ships is a 10mn force multiplied talos vulnuarble to that a vaga isnt? And its faster then a normal vaga by a bit!
Assuming that we have equal links on both sides, this statement is ... not correct. Unless I'm missing something about your Vaga fit?

God damn you and your ****** formatting. I'd say that anyone claiming 1300 m/s on a kiting ship is fast enough to obsolete the Vagabond is out of their ******* mind.

No im talking about unliked vaga vs linked talos! (as once you reach a certain point of speed it doesnt really ehlp, you dont tank more and once your faster than normal frigates your done, it doesnt hurt but its no big plus anymore so even a linked vaga isnt better then a linked talos)!
"that" fit was one og the standard 10mn talos fits so it pretty ok to generalize it imo! |

I never claimed that any ship going 1300m/s is making the vagabond obsolete!
In fact i only claimed that they were viable kiting ships thats all! |

I really don't understand why you are making this pointless argument. Both ships have the same combat ranges - by fitting a 100mn you are almost certainly having to down grade from neutrons, which means a 10mn talos doesnt even NEED to approach you, he has better effective range with neutrons anyway... He can sit stationary and he will have identical tracking to you (perhaps a little different since ion's would track better marginally). In the end that scenario comes down to tank, not mobility... or maybe lucky ec-300 jams.
Either way a 1v1 talos situation as you describe wouldn't happen unless you where against a rookie pilot who couldnt recognise a 100mn fit when he saw one. I'd hate to meet a neutron talos in an ion-100mn fit, cause the MWD talos can bail out of disruptor range if he thinks for a second hes going to loose, and you can do nothing about it. He KNOWS you can't out-dps him, so he wont bother approaching you or trying to get under your guns.. he'll just smash you until you realise your loosing and try to bail out... then straight line speed starts to matter.
Last time I looked at the numbers a 3 TE / Ion Talos has about the same range and way better tracking than a Neutron Talos. I guess I could be wrong though. I mean, it's not like I've repeatedly and specifically said I built the fit around damage mitigation and tracking. It's almost like someone put together a ship to force a certain kind of engagement..... ?
Quote: Again, i dont want to get dragged into this argument and re-ignite it, but personal vendettas aside - the vagabond is NOT designed to kill frigates, so you will not fly one if that's what you want to do. Neither will you fly a talos for this.
If you want to sit at range and pick peoples HP apart without risking scram/web the vagabond can do this, but the talos can do it better but will NOT have the straight line speed of the vagabond.
That matters little though because anything that CAN catch it CAN'T out DPS it.
The Vagabond has never really been great at killing anything. It should not be news that there's a ship out there that's better at killing things. What the Vagabond has always been best at is engaging on its own terms. Which it's still better at doing than the Talos.

Ok, cool... a linked ship is faster than an unlinked ship. Exciting news at 11.

There was absolutely no reason to generalize it to speaking about 10mn fits vs 100mn fits. You read that into my argument, and even still it has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.

You claimed it via this line of reasoning: - The Talos goes 1600 m/s and does better damage than the Vagabond. It obsoletes the Vagabond. - All Kiting ships that put out better damage than the Vagabond obsolete the Vagabond. - Ranged DPS ships that go faster than 1200 m/s are good kiting ships.
=> Ranged DPS ships that go faster than 1200 m/s and put out better damage than the Vagabond obsolete the Vagabond.
In context of the discussion - whether a ship obsoletes the Vagabond - I have only this to say: LOL.

You claimed it was better (under the pretext that it waa truesolo) which it isnt!
Yes its faster and no that nothing new, it just means that with force multipliers the talos is better then the vaga due to high enough speed, extreme dps, good range! We obviously cant decide about the true solo 10n talos!
It is faster than a truesolo vaga which emans it can engage at its own terms as much as it wants, but its better at most of the other stuff aswell (frigs beeing the exception)!
(seeing as it makes no difference if the vaga is snaked/linked or not, its fast enough either way so the linked/snaked 10mn talos obsoletes the vaga) |

I never claimed that all kiting ships that put out better damage obsolete the vaga, your reading to much into this! I said that tier3s do (well mainly the talos) but thats it!
My point was 1600m/s base mwd speed is fast enough to kite, as is 1300m/s! Beeing able to kite doesnt mean by default that they obsolete the vaga! |
