Quote: Unlike most Gallente ship manufacturers, Roden Shipyards tend to favor missiles over drones and their ships generaly possess stronger armor. Their electronics capacity, however, tends to be weaker than ships from their competitors.
Manufactures of:
Enyo Eris Ares Lachesis
Personnaly, I think the concept is great, providing the alternative, but its so rarely appricated by gallente pilots mainly due to the unrelated skills needed to pilot these ships.
But this isn't my gripe. Far from it, I see tremendos potencial in this manufacturer if several of there defining features where enhanced universally throughout there range of ships.
Re-gig the Grid Restore balance to the power grids, as currently, they have 10% less grid than there counterparts.
Having to fit a reactor control unit, or MAPC just to have the right amount of grid to fit the correct modules (eg missiles on the ares +guns or nos) and thus negating the potencial for a tank is counter productive.
Lachesis???Consistancy? For some reason, the Arazu and Lachesis seem to have the slot layouts mixed up... whatever...
Speed instead of Tank? Right now, every Roden ship is on average 5% faster than there gallente counterpart. But strangely slightly heavier, than both gallente and racial counterparts. I assume that this is due to an modest increase to armour hp. I say, remove the improved armour infavor of ships being 5% lighter than it's gallente counterparts. Faster and lighter blaster Enyo, a better interdictor, and in the Ares, something along with the next point, could actually stand up to the Crow.
Missile Bonues The Ares and Eris both depend on missiles for it's main soruce of offensive ablities. I do not want to see more missile slots on either or any roden ship. however, having missile bonuses that hold a candle to those given by caldari ships would be an excelent idea. 10% instead of 5% bonus to thermal missile damage per level on all Roden ships. AND 5% increase to missile maximum velocity per level for all roden ships. With increased, speed ship speed, increased missile range, with the correct damage bonus, the Ares and (and possibly Eris) would actually be a viaible option in todays current PvP enviroment suitign a combat style which would in effect suit the lack of tackling ablities built into these ships.
Rocket Bonuses? They would be useful, adding to the flexiblity of these ships, however, having hese in place of any existing bonuses would be counter productive.
