I didn't think it was possible, but... Eve forum users actually are this dumb.
Has anyone even read Petrus's signature since this thread started? |

You have signatures on?

Ed: Also, I very rarely actually see them anymore. Last I heard they moved to null sec (or at least out of the FW area). Who knows how Baddy McBads they've become since then.

Yet you persist. I had no idea the real Liang Nuren posted.
So, why yes, yes I would.

Is it me, or is this just 10 pages of "welp, so much for the PODLA drake" discourse?
I do think it's a shame that ship is hardly even viable anymore. I think the tactic is still possible though. Maybe look at the Cyclone as your new HML skirmisher. I don't know, I think it's cool that Fozzie seems to be giving us some choices, but I would have rather seen the other BC brought up to Retribution 1.0 BCs in light of how good the new cruisers are. Just my opinion. Quality Assurance

The Rebel Alliance Doctrine has been revised and updated for the new era, and will feature A-wings and B-wings as well as X-wings.
edit: I will say, that particular fight drove me to the discovery that thanks to the wonders of 125mm ACs, an armor slasher can dual-prop with requiring a fitting mod. |

So the Cane and the Drake are replaced by the Cyclone and the Brutix. Same vicious cycle, over and again. The Cane will probably survive, but this will probably spell obsolesence for the Drake. Oh, it can still tank, but what little DPS it had has been nerfed, so it might as well be shelved. What's funny is that people hated it's tank, not it's damage dealing potential, which was barely adequate anyways after the missile nerf.
CCP can't even break their own stuff correctly. *shrugs*
Long live the Cyclone and Brutix. While you only co-opt the darkness for your petty purposes, I was borne of the darkness. |

Long live the Cyclone and Brutix. I know, right? It just seems like some CCP dude lost too many ships to Drakes and decided they were OP, so nerfed them into the ground. Disappointing.

Sounds like a few guys, maybe an entire corporation, just hit their level cap and their End Game isn't what they like.
Some of us have been pushing our End Game every expansion...every patch even.
I would say "Adapt" but of course you already knew that. Good luck out there. Karash Amerius Operative, Sutoka |

hmm , just a thought .
IF flying X makes you a better person/pilot/eve player /skillful because it is harder ( see OP)
And Y just got Nerfed, if you fly Y ( which is now harder) doesn't that make you a better person/pilot/eve player/skillful ?
So the gain for you if you fly your drake, is you now should ( at least in your mind) look like a better person |

You obviously haven't flown the hilariously pathetic Cyclone.

I too think that a mistake was made by nerfing the drake, but not for the reason that most people give. Yes the drake was overpowered a bit for it's class, but when many people start out, they can easily get into it, and then use it for a long time and engage in all kinds of small scale warfare; it was very useful and versatile in this role.
But it did something else which was important. It made everyone that wanted to fly it have to learn to use all kinds of shield technologies. And to ever move on to large scale warfare, all of these players had to eventually move on to armor technologies, to compete successfully.
So yes it warped somewhat the career paths of so many pilots, but it got all of us to at least try and experiment with things. Now with the drake nerfed, if I was a new pilot starting now, I would read the forums and never bother to get very good with shields, I would just go straight to armor tanking and skip a lot of stuff. Ditto for skipping missile technologies. In the larger combat battles, missiles and shields were never as good as blasters and armor tanking, so now CCP has made all of those things even more irrelevant.
In real life everything is not perfectly balanced, and in eve I thought they had a nice balance to the imbalances. Now I think we shall miss that. Now as I read one poster say, everything will be much more cookie-cutter, and I have to agree 100%. Previously we knew we were making a bad long term decision to get a good fit into the drake, but we lived with it for the immediate utility. |
