I hope you realize this is essentially guaranteeing that no gallente battleship will ever be used a mainline fleet BS (boot dominixes don't count - they're hybrids). With this change their options are now either a badly bonused ship, or one with crappyy slot layouts. As opposed to before when they had one almost decent ship, and one with crappy slot layouts and bad bonuses.
So basically you've taken one really bad ship, one decent ship, and made two bad ships. Congratulations!
Oh, I expect you'll see some more station game megathrons. Possibly even a lot more Fed Navy Megas, if the changes carry over, but as a fleet BS race, gallente is completely dead. |

This is my main beef. Gallente drone boats get the bandwidth to field heavier drones, but not the capacity to field adequate spares. As a result you end up playing the recall, re-deploy game constantly since drones are still wicked easy to kill. |

I think the drone changes to the geddon and domi are potentially very good - don't forget that as the domi is no longer hybrid weapon focused you can use a high slot better to extent drone control range, etc. I think the main problem is they don't seem to have sat down and looked at the geddon and domi side by side in isolation post change. I think a little further work on those 2 could make for some new and exciting changes coming from it (and less of a clash).
Almost tempted to suggest dropping one high on the domi and giving it an extra mid or low to futher boost its ability to use drones.
There are going to be some upset people I'd imagine tho who use RR domis for certain WH class PVE but with a bit of rejigging I think they can probably still work effectively there if not better with the sentry drone changes.
Megathron changes tho are just a big NO from me. |

Pretty sure all of these proposed Gallente BS changes should be deleted and re-worked by other members that ACTUALLY play their game rather than rely on metrics that have almost no real world applications. I'm also pretty sure that Kil2 is not up for the task of taking the lead on balancing anything at this point. Not trying to be mean or anything bro, but damn, you've managed to fail pretty hard pretty damn fast.

Awesome! Love the idea of turning the Dominix fully into a pure drone boat. I wish the same had been done to the Vexor in the cruiser pass!
For someone who has always wanted to keep neuts or reps in my highs, but felt gimped because of the blaster bonus, this is a welcome change. |

I am struggling to find any good points in what you have done here... I really am. Point by point:
Hyperion: 8/4/7 does at least give it an extra low. However, since you didn't add any powergrid or to it, you are still going to be struggling to actually fit an active tank to it. Then too, it now can't use the dual cap booster setup without someone else around to tackle for you... and if you have more than about 2 people in fleet you would be better off having someone in a logi to rep you anyways, due to how horribad active armor tanking is on large ships. Active shield tanking works because you can use oversized reps on undersized hulls - see XLASB cyclone if you need an example. Until you can manage something equivalent to that with armor tanking, it isn't going to make a comeback, no matter how hard you try.
Additionally, blasters have short enough range that you aren't going to see buffer blaster hyperions like you do pulse abaddons because they don't have enough range - and the only environment that you might see them (WH's) won't use them due to mass restrictions anyways. As for rail fits... they will be less mobile than rohks, and the rohks range bonus means that they can use antimatter out to more effective ranges anyways. And there is a reason why "sniping" nowadays is done by attack battlecruisers, not battleships.
Go back to the drawing board, and try to come up with actual, viable uses for this ship that are more than just fringe cases.
Megathron: You just swapped the slot layout with the hyperion. You are an idiot. One of the big reasons why the hyperion was so bad was BECAUSE OF ITS SLOT LAYOUT! You seem to be under the assumption that a 5/6 slot layout will work for armor tanking. Let me inform you - it won't. The only way that this will see use is as a shield tanked ship... not as armor tanked. If you want armor tanking to actually be viable on it, drop that "utility highslot", which it doesn't have the pg to fit anything in anyways for a midslot, instead of taking away one of its lowslots. A 7/5/7 slot layout megathron may actually see some use. Also... why the hell did you take away 25mbit bandwith? That just seems rather arbitrary... and this is the damn drone race too. Give it the phoons bay - 125 bandwith/175 capacity. What exactly you expect people to do with only 100mbit bandwith is beyond me - aside from just being capricious.
Domi: Well... the domi needed some love anyways. At the moment though I'm struggling to see any use for this instead of the new geddon. The geddon gets missiles, can use neuts more effectively, can armor tank just as well, and they both do the same drone damage with the same drone bay. Also... give both of those ships their missing slot back. Despite what seems to be going through your heads, having extra drone bay is NOT worth loosing an extra slot - unless of course you are revamping drones to not be ******** pieces of junk with a UI out of the 90's that is.
Sorry if this seems a little hostile, but, seriously - these changes will NOT see gallente battleships used more.

Even less useful than the hype in that config tho which is kinda lol - granted doesn't suffer quite as bad armor wise in some ways an interesting change but as a replacement for the mega... its a joke.

Seriously first take a gallente bs out and get some fights with them and then try to write a half decent change proposal. I dunno who came up with those changes, but he needs either to be sent to drug rehab or asylum, because this is beyond terrible.
Why can't you look at each ship individually and not as a part of a blob? People still fly small gang/solo and I for one don't care how your sniper domi/shield mega/?hype fit into your grand 0.0 blob design.
Furthermore what I hate the most is constant dumbification of EVE, what's next not being able to undock if not fitted to CCP standard or buying fitted ships from market?
Lose the tier concept all together, ballance ships individually, stop assigning new terrible roles to classic battleships. fire the people responsible, leave EVE the sandbox it is.

Hyperion was never pretty, it's got a 4 leaf clover engine thingy attached to a giant double sided butt plug. Take a look at some of the "modded" concept art that people have put out for the hyperion over the last couple years.

Like many others, I am disappointed with the proposed Domi changes. The advantage of the Domi was always versatility. It was never the best at anything, but it could do almost anything - brawl, gank, tank, logi, neut, etc. It was a fantastic jack-of-all-trades ship.
Removing the damage option reduces it's versatility. It can't gank, and it's brawling ability is reduced. Which seems like a damn odd choice for a ship designated as "Combat BS". Furthermore, it's vastly over-shadowed as a neut boat by the incredibly awesome Geddon. So it's effectively lost that versatility as well.
So it's pretty much just gonna be left with what? Sentry Sniper, Kessah Domi, and 2007 RR Domi? Not alot of options there.
And now it is completely reliant on a destroyable dps source. Which is a terrible terrible choice.
EDIT - Maybe keep the hybrid bonus, increase the damage bonus slightly, reduce the number of turrets, and move a hi-slot (or two) to the mids/lows so that people can make it into the sentry boat you envision via modules? |

Indeed. However I think that setup would change in a fleet with logistics. In fact you do not need to use a ASB and you'll be very fast and have the EHP of 2 Talos v0v. Less damage though. Unless a neut counts for anything? Still it is an option

You've hit the nail on the head there for something I couldn't quite put my finger on - I've always hated cookie cutter fits and games where if your not playing using 1-2 specific fits your irrelevant - one of the things that drew me to eve was that you could mix things up a bit and people were constantly coming up with out the box fleet doctrines that worked. The reason why many of the changes/proposed changes recently (and there have been some great changes don't get me wrong) is that some of these changes are going down the road towards very stock fits and doctrines, closing the gap towards the middle and towards that point where you might as well just buy a prefitted standard ship off the market. (I'm still not putting it very well but still). |

That math is wrong, CCP. 50% faster ROF does not double times fired in a period of time, a 100% ROF bonus would do that. 50% isn't doubling something (2x), it's a 1.5x multiplier. Thus, the argument of "lel twice as many shots in same time!" is actually 1.5 times as many shots in given unit of time, and, obviously, not twice the damage. Your explanation is completely flawed. I thought you guys were programmers?? |
