At a guess, you're probably flying a *SD bonused* ship? Maulus maybe? Without the bonus, SD are still limited in their application. The whole point of the thread is that at frigate level TDs perform a little too well on *unbonused* ships. Also rumor has it that missiles might be affected by TDs some time in future, after current changes "settle down". Which would make them even more powerful. |

You met 4 ships in a row with no tank who relied on e-war to keep them safe. If they had lots of tanks, speed, DPS AND E-war then i;d be worried... but realy they sacrificed everything for speed and e-war.
A few lucky volleys would kill them most of the time, and tracking disruptors are counter-able by good piloting. The old 18km/s crow dieing to a trash-fit taranis is a good example... |

Devs: "We've announced we are going to improve blaster tracking in 6 months. We're nerfing Hyperion grid by 40% today in compensation". Players: "lolwut?"

Funny, it's exactly what they did with drones just now. CCP Ytterbium in November: "Drones are terribly outdated." Retribution hits: "Drones now get shot by everyone and their grandma!" Players: "lolwut?"
Lol that made my day! So true. "Adapt" - means you have to stop using the ship you like and start flying Drake or Tengu like the rest nullbear newbs. |

I for one like the option to fit ewar on ships without bonus. This makes the game more much diverse. Everything else would be a simple gank&tank game. Sounds boring in comparison. The ability to suprise people with uncommon or unexpected tactics is fun.
Ofc if a certain tactic isn't uncommon anymore we have a balancing problem. But I agree with Liang, TDs are manageable. For instance I had great success with a kiting Executioner fitted with beams. In case I got TDed I just switched to Aurora. Result was a nice WTF effect ^^
Fitting additional ewar isn't for free. Shield tanks lose tank, armor tanks lose other utility (cap, ...) or full tackle. |

True it is a Maulus but it is a cheesy ship to run into still, and I lied, its double damped, was thinking of my Fleet setup...for solo its just to SD
But still, nerfing somethings lock range to under 7km is pretty lame lol but i like it |

Damn that ******* that spent years on the forums preaching about TDs effectiveness. Trying to convince people to break away from cookie-cutter fits and ideals of the time.. that TDs were worth using more frequently than they were being used, that they were infact better in a wider range of circumstances/scenarios that people mostly utalized, and were a better option over other ewar/tank options..
That ******* should be given a good talking to.. or at the very least, tipped large sums of money.... |
