Battleships seem in an ok place right now? Jesus you must have never tried to run a MWD on a battleship then. Why is the cap use so massive in comparison to other classes |

Why is the cap use so massive in comparison to other classes gun boat battleships generally have really really bad capacitor problems to the point they must run heavy capacitor boosters with 800's or be useless within a minute or less the abaddon is the perfect example of this, large lasers use an incredible amount of cap to fire, if you add anything to an abaddon that uses cap, tracking computers, active hardeners or anything it becomes extremely hard to fly, thats not even counting a microwarp drive, afterburner is always a bad choice on heavy ships like that and its not just the abaddon, the abaddon is just the worst offender, the hyperion and other cap hungry ships are the same but its funny because the Rohk doesn't have this problem really, the megathron and hyperion do.
Try running a standard Shield tempest with a cap booster, and its capless guns. Its absolute trash. Its supposed to be a faster, more agile kitey battleship.
Can we discuss the effects of the Tracking Enhancer nerf here too? Seriously. Projectiles + TE nerf (apparently to sort out the lol falloff on the mach and talos, instead of just nerfing the mach and talos) make most minnie ships poor for their class.

Geddon seems totally balanced yo. How about you put 800's in your cap booster instead of 25s unless you are tying to make it missleading. after looking at that fit further I have no idea what you are trying to get across with that? No skills either being used. Its a ship that with 6 days of training you can get in. Its a noble idea by my alliance to get newbies into something useful for cap fights almost instantly. The fit gets fed cap by carriers, but you can put 800s in the cap booster too. Its supposed to be a no skill fit Look how ridiculously useful it is in comparison to any other 6 day old battleship fit you care to work
My point was more "CCP Rise is terrible at balance" as that is his baby right there. A bit cryptic im sorry |

Ugly Eric wrote:The ishtar is still going to be way OP. As mister Vee couple of posts above stated, that you could remove 2 sentries of it and it still would be used is a good point. Especially with the lowslot drone tracking enchancer coming. Whitch will effectively just neglate the nerf on shield ishtars.
Make all the cruiser size droneboats have medium drone bonuses. Not heavy nor sentry. Like Gila, but with 5 drones. Having BS sized weapon bonuses to aply BS damage and range to a cruiser just makes no sence whatsoever.
Gila was a good example of how the medium drones are actually good now. So take the experience of this and imply to Ishtars and navy vexors. Then the Domi would be OP fleetship again over everything else, but I feel you aint got what it takes to change sentries alltogether.
Leave the tempest alone! Is currently iirc the only BS with 2 utility highs. 8-5-6 Is a good slot layout. Just tune the bonuses a bit.
Also with the TE nerf you nerfed the entire minmatar boatline. So pls fix this, so projectiles get useful again.
Pretty sure the lowslot TE for drones is out already, or i fit something hideous to my ishtar yesterday |

also, arent these adjustments database tweaks? Why do we have to wait a month for them to come into effect. Literally change something at DT tomorrow. See how it goes. Adjust again in a weeks time. Add "Agile development" to your CV.
All this fannying about to change database values is remedial |

I find the best way to get out good points is to obfuscate them with insults, trolling and mild derailment, CCP Rise. Sorry, its just my method. For what its worth, i don't actually think you are really really terrible at balance Much appreciated for looking into BS MWD cap use. I really think this is the major issue with the tempest, rather than slot layout. |
