I just read in one of the other forum posts that the thorax is going to be changed in one of the next patches. I had not read this anywhere except for the one allusion to it. Has anyone heard something definitive on this or is this merely idle speculation. If you have heard or read something definitive please post a link here or elaborate.
Please no "nerf the thorax" posts here. There are enough of those as it is on other posts.
I am curious what is known about the changes occuring if they indeed are in the works. Inquiring minds want to know.

Deimos has resists that rax does not. so its not really a cheap version of the deimos. you still lose slots to hardeners.

It's only a great ship if you're the one flying it.

Personally I'm looking forward to being able to fit medium guns and use the bonus.
As for the drone bay, would you go with 4 heavies or 10 meds now?

i would go with meds.
4 x 22 = 88 10 x 9 = 90
not sure how to calculate the heavy drone skill on it but the meds are faster and harder to hit. of course not everybody has interfacing 5 so its more like 9 med drones. 9 x 9 = 81

The Thorax was too overpowered. You shouldn't be able to solo BSs and even HACs with a tech1 cruiser. I think ccp did a good job with the Thorax. They boosted the other cruisers a bit, then dragged the Thorax down to that level. If they had followed the requests of all the "Thorax-lovers" we would have all the cruisers boosted to the Thorax current level, then a BS would have had no chance in hell vs two cruisers.
And yes, I do fly Thorax. And I'm seeing forward to the changes.

10 meds personally. meds are underated and quite useful.

MK2 'rax kicks ass, you just need to use those ubar skills and actually fit M guns on it.
10 meds + Ion IIs hurt. a lot. ------------- Axe the Thorax's drone bay.

In some situations, yes. But not as before. You'll get a sick dmg output, but you loose all the hitpoints. And your guns will use a lot of cap. But you're totaly right, mk2 Thorax is a really, really good ship. I'm seeing forward to flying it. ---
