Look like some good changes. No complaints here.
(cept for the slot differences maybe, but on a vindi it wouldn't matter cause you need 8 guns. Mach gets that extra utility high...kind of annoying that it gets the extra slot) |

To state more clearly, can we expect the damage bonus on the RS to also apply when firing thermal and kinetic missiles from RHML and RLML? Yes, the damage bonus will apply to RHML and RLML. I'm not sure if it helps settle anything but from my perspective the angel ships aren't necessarily meant to be armor or shield. They are capable of both and even though the ISIS says shields we are very happy with the versatility that Angel ships are capable of. Speaking of Angel ships, I looked into making the Mach turrets symmetrical and unfortunately it isn't going to happen. It would be almost impossible to avoid having a significant impact on balance for the ship and we don't feel that an aesthetic concern like this justifies making a change. Sorry
how weird cos i pointed out that the ISIS had the armour icon on the angel ships and Ytterbium said that it wasn't supposed to be there and that he would remove it which he duly did.... Tech 3's need to be multi role ships not cruiser hulls with battleship tank and insane resists ABC's are clearly T2 in all but name.. remove drone assist mechanic. Nerf web strength ..... module tiercide FTW role based instead of tiers please. |

Could always make whatever is in its last high slot show up as a different turret (yes, I mean making a model for neuts or something along those lines.) |

NM looks good.
Bhaalgorn a bit to strong, then again solo BS is dead anyway.
Vindicator could use a bit more cap for free roaming with active tank.
Rattlesnake should have a extra spare high slot and 2 turret slots, it is one of the main features I miss compared to my fleet phoon. Give it a bit more speed(105-110 base at least), if you want to see it in pvp(and yes it got potential). Also same as on the gila a 2. lower bonus for light drones, for frig defence. 5 light drones with out a bonus are just embarrassing on a drone BS.
Mach, leave the scan resolution alone, it needs quick lock for alpha setups and kitting to get rid of tacklers. A bit more cap would be also nice as well as a extra 500-700 power grid would be most welcome for artillery fittings.

It's not unsolvable or something, it's just a lot of things that need to be accounted for and we don't think it's worth it in this case. Oh come on, live a little. What's a balance change without one slightly OP ship? Besides, you nerfed it a little and it's new role bonus is only moderately useful. Let it live a little with 6 turrets, adjusted damage bonus to the same DPS, 2 utilities and call it a day. If one OP slightly OP ship is not a problem then one slightly UP one won't be either right? Just cut one turret and only compensate for 80% of the dmg lost to also cover for lower ammo usage and lower fitting cost. Little OP, little UP, whats the difference right?
Sure, slightly UP is fine too.
But if I'm going to pick one, I'd go with OP. :)
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all. |

Cut a turret/high, add role bonus of 17 percent damage? Rof stays the same, volley stays the same. You save a tiny amount of ammo and a few mil on a gun. |

No man. If you are afraid of small/medium enemies and you are clever you put RLMLs or RHMLs on the Rattlesnake. You will find that with 7.5 effective launchers, the Rattlesnake will be one of the most powerful platforms (DPSwise) in the game for LIGHT MISSILES with a resistance bonussed battleship tank (omgwtflol?!?). So you get like ~500 DPS from your drones vs. big targets while absolutely shredding the smaller ones at the same time. I think both mission runners and PvPers alike will just love this unique design.
Oh and instead of a drone link augmentor think of a RR module. Should be manageable to keep your +275% HP Ogres alive in a brawl.

And change fittings since you freed a **** ton of PWG/CPU by not having to install a 7th gun.
Or you can leave it at 7 turrets because it just works... |

We aren't even mad. Honestly if the rest of the BS line didn't all look so solid I would never have brought it up. Like I said elsewhere in the thread, you have enough to deal with these Rattlesnake people to give people like me a little symmetry just for kicks and giggles. -áFear The Tribes |

I agree there are lots of fitting choices, yes rhml, will fit, but really, a rattlesnake is not the ideal vehicle for the role you suggest. If you give up a high, you give up the bonus, you give up the gains, you put missiles in the highs, you lose the drone abilities.
Yes I am all for choices, but however you mix this up, you are not getting the buff this ship desperately needs at the moment to match the other pirate cruisers, yes any ship can be made into an Omg frig/dessie destructor, but what then? Just another comedy killmail.

+1
And no offense intended to others, but too many people are too orthodox and uncreative to see the massive new possibilities the Guristas ships have Like Edward Olmops can.
Like for instance in null sec I'm thinking I'm going to try a Rattlesnake with it's new tougher drones, a couple cheap small deadspace remote reps (1 for each drone) with 4 large faction smartbombs for anoms/ratting.
Because now I can sit on top of my drones and lightly rep them while i sit on the spawn point of a forsaken hub or pirate gate haven and let the isks roll in lol. And the smart bombs help tank because they pop npc missiles. Will probably throw in a Cetus (best named) ECM burst in a mid to hold aggro on the ship instead of the drones (which i will be smart bombing so extra aggro = bad lol).
If i were brave (and rich) I'd anchor a small bubble slightly behind my ship in the direction of the gate so that any interceptors that warp in land on me and thus my smartbombs and ECM burst LOL (and the WTFs in local would be epic till the next smart bomb cycle pods him). I could always just MJD out if too many came in at once.
Thinking outside the box is fun. Some of you guys should try it. |

The ideas are fun if flawed, yes there will be lots of new and exciting ways to use these ships, i approve of that entirely, I have praised CCP rise for the courage to adopt the concept of super drones, it is an excellent direction, we need to keep the ships useful though outside of these niche examples though, encourage them yes, but not let a ship like the rattlesnake be dependant on them.

I don't want my previous reply sound like a criticism of new ideas, yes I agree there are new roles possible here to make an awesome ship using rapid launchers or even very close range torpedoes. My current concern is that the rattlesnake has been passed over by players as it does not have enough "special" about it currently to match other, better ships.
The bonus to missiles, lifts it into the next level where it is an equal if different ship to the other pirate vessels.
However, there is an issue here, where the loss of the 25km drone range and loss of 2.5 effective light and medium drones , drops it back down again.
The light and medium drone issue, simply is only an annoyance, if the effective drone range is restored.
So very simply I applaud the options made possible by the new rattlesnake, but losing 25km of the drone range makes it effectively no better than the current rattlesnake, just different. There is one EvE. Many people. Many lifestyles. WE are EvE |

They are capable of both and even though the ISIS says shields we are very happy with the versatility that Angel ships are capable of. Speaking of Angel ships, I looked into making the Mach turrets symmetrical and unfortunately it isn't going to happen. It would be almost impossible to avoid having a significant impact on balance for the ship and we don't feel that an aesthetic concern like this justifies making a change. Sorry
the problem with this versatility .. is it thats what minnie are meant to be .. its a huge overlap .. and all the other pirate races have a more distinguished trait or many differences from the other main races...
Blood - neut/nos and web range Sansha - are only shield laser race plus AB bonus serpentis - have massively OP web .. a little too similar as gallente blaster boats mind Gurista - drones/missiles massive shield tank
then angels - omni tank, falloff and speed ... oh wait same as minnie .. the warp bonus isn't that useful Tech 3's need to be multi role ships not cruiser hulls with battleship tank and insane resists ABC's are clearly T2 in all but name.. remove drone assist mechanic.

Quite correct, and then the rattlesnake goes from a ship that holds it's own with the other pirate vessels to where it is now, passed over and not really special at anything. There is one EvE. Many people. Many lifestyles. WE are EvE |

It will still be good at dealing nearly 1150 dps at 105km.
Or you can deal 1300 dps at 80km.
Its about consequences of your fitting choices. Do you want damage, or range? No ship should be able to fit for everything with one fit.
The ship with 5 launchers will deal 800-900 dps at lock range with fury cruise missiles. It can then switch on the fly between 700dps drones at ~40km or 500dps drones at 80km. If you want to focus more on drone dps past 80km, you will have to lose a bit of missile dps.
Ninja Edit: Best case this ship will be dealing ~1400 dps sub 40km with 5x cruise furys. Worst case it will be dealing 1100 dps at 105km with 4x cruise furies and 2xDLA.
Hell if you're that upset over it bring a dang Mobile depot and switch out your 5th launcher and 2nd DLA whenever you need to. Vacuums suck. |

Exactly.
You can also drone control rig it.

Taking your figures as accurate, but it seems like all your lows and rigs must be fitted for damage, This might have been the case in a world where micro jump drives did not exist but it accomplishes nothing apart from making it either a pain in the ass to fly, or fit for missiles and drones are a freebie when the rats get in close.
It does not make the rattlesnake comparable to the other pirate frigates, just like now.
Damage choices should be on how you fit your damage mods here, the choice is to fit for missile or drone damage, t1 or t2 weapons. Selecting your sentry drones.
Losing the drone range means one must ALWAYS fit for max missile damage and launchers. That is not enabling choice. There is one EvE. Many people. Many lifestyles. WE are EvE |

It would be a heavier importance placed on a required skill, changes to fitting balance, changes in ammo consumption, change in fitting cost, potential effects on damage output and/or alpha. It's not unsolvable or something, it's just a lot of things that need to be accounted for and we don't think it's worth it in this case.
Make the seventh turret invisible on the mach or reallocate the seventh turret to a more visually appealing area :P problem solved :) |

Ok now we have a ship with no shield rigs, all other rigs and lows used for damage mods,no tank, and the mids used for getting this amazing damage to apply.
Seems balanced..............
Or one can add 25km drone control range to the ship, and give it the Buff CCP rise suggested it was gaining to make it equal amongst the other pirate battleships.
Which makes more sense? There is one EvE. Many people. Many lifestyles. WE are EvE |

In my opinion RS should have the same 275% bonus to all drones not just heavy and sentry drones Gila should have the same 500% bonus not just to medium but to light drones as well
