This has almost literally nothing to do with the Nighthawk. It might be relevant if we were talking about the Vulture, but I don't have any real fitting issues with it so w/e.

The Nighthawk has no such option. The problem with the Nighthawk is that just throwing grid at it to improve it for pvp is not so simple as the above observation with the Sleipnir shows, and could further imbalance it in pve. The Sleip is indeed lacking on grid when you slap 720s on it, but being as such a ship is pve it is just the usual bother to use some fitting mods or implants to get the ab and shield booster on. And for pvp it certainly does not need more grid. Conversely more grid on a NH for pvp but the NH does not need more grid for pve.
At present for another character I have I fit my nighthawk for level 4s with 2 LSE, Y-S8 ab, and 7 HML II, and all the other mods taking 1pg each bring me right in at 887/887.5. Its tank is a total snooze in pve. If I take that same fit and swap the purgers for extenders and 2 SPR for 2 PDS II, I can fit a Y- overcharged mwd inplace of the ab and permarun that mwd with 141k ehp before fleet bonuses and missile only dps of 470 (with 2 BCU) at 70km. Not bad really. Sure you are not getting the same raw dps as a sleip or abso, and you are a pure ranged damage dealer with no point, but you are getting range flexibility that those other two ships won't have.
Is one to give it more grid to fit and run a large or x-large shield booster for PVE? Aside from the fact that the level 5 capable pve tank has to be cap independant (and in this department it outshines other ships in class), I don't see what the ship gains from active tanking. Anyway, what would be the strength of such a tank with the resist bonus plus active tanking with an x-large shield booster?
As to the ganglink on these fits I think it is a misplaced argument. If you are in any kind of decent fleet you will have a Vulture or Tengu providing your shield links (similar boosters on other fleets, damnation or Legion). That last high is almos irrelevant. Liang says as much in deflecting the comment about on-grid boosting. I am a supporter of on-grid boosting but not for the reason of fitting a link on a NH or Abso etc, more for the reason of not having T3 boosters sitting at a pos or ss outperforming commands.
That we don't see NHs so often in fights is this probably more to do with the cheapness of the Drake, and the deficit of HMs in mixed fleets (people want to be applying that damage instantly to get the top damage dealer)? If HAM fits onNHs are what we are talking about with giving it +20% or more grid I would like to see that people have thought through the implications for other situations in the game that that grid would not harm.
I think Greyscale was saying these thinks in his quote. The problems with NHs in pvp may not so much be grid but much cheaper competition (the ubiquitous drake) and delayed damage (missile flight). I like his next quote, because he is displaying some concern with the strength of passive shield tanking in general. It appears that any major grid overhaul would likely coincide with some nerfing of passive shield in general.
tl:dr The NH is almost op for pve. If you strengthen grid for HAMs in pvp what effect could this have on pve? Fitting a link is sorta irrelevant. |

The point is, Tengu has a much better powergrid yet it's said to be equally (im)balanced for both PvP and PvE. The same will go for NH.
omg, a wonderful XL booster at PvE NH. So what? How is that imbalanced? 2008, CCP Zulu(park): "command ships are fine as is" 2011, CCP Greyscale: "is the Nighthawk actually underpowered?" Nice progress, guys. |

PVE may seem irrelevant if you only look at the game for pvp. CCP cares about pve, and it would not be as good a game as it is if they didn't care about pve. It's all well and good to play the tough guy who only cares about pvp, but it is not the sole basis upon which to construct a good game. For instance, pve can fund pvp PVE can determine where value lies in races and regions. Potentially to imbalance that is not irrelevant.
The OP wanted a ganglink. What do you want extra grid for? HAMs? How much grid is appropriate and will avoid unintended consequences? Can you examine your wants in relation to the rest of the game? That's what I'm asking. |

Oh great forum ate my post.
Well since longer ranged missiles are easier to fit as opposed to turrets I think it's ok if one could fit 6 HML II+ LSE + Ganglink + MWD with a single fitting mod.
I'm not even sure if I would fly such a Nighthawk over my Ferox. No direct bonus to links on both ships. Usually people first shoot my buddies in their shiny Sleipnirs.
Only plus would be the better damage output and the Kaalakiota paintjob. |

6HMLs+MWD+med cap booster+large SB
that's all I ask for. And atm NH needs a techII RCU + PG implant to fit that (or some cosmos stuff).
So - as I said - add 17...20% grid and NH will be ok grid-wise. 2008, CCP Zulu(park): "command ships are fine as is" 2011, CCP Greyscale: "is the Nighthawk actually underpowered?" Nice progress, guys. |

The bigger issue here is that CCP has always kept missile users at bay. There has been a myriad of small nerfs and tweaks to limit missile users more or less directed toward PVP. The two big ones I have noticed is:
1) Faction ships - look at them. Not a single one that is part caldari has a single missile damage (RoF included) bonus to it. The one that you would think would be a great candidate for a missile damage bonus would be the guristas ships, they are modeled after the caldari ships, but alas, have bonuses to drones, which need I remind you can be destroyed and thus severely weakening the ship during a fight.
2) The Naga - I know that it never hit TQ so was never 'officially' nerfed, but you can see the Devs thought process in its evolution to what the Naga will be once Crucible hits TQ. When it was first on Sisi, it had missiles and hybrids but no damage mods for missiles... Then they removed missiles altogether. We had a fairly large outcry on the forums to bring missiles back. However, look at the Naga now and see what its using.**
So, as you can see, CCP tries to keep missile users (mainly pvp users) down. Some say its because of lag or missiles are easy mode.. whatever. Its blatantly obvious its happening.
**I agree with the changes to the naga however. I would love to have the Naga a missile ship, but giving the application these ships are being designed for, hybrids just make sense. |

I'm sorry - I'm totally in favor of buffs to certain missile ships but this post seems to be made of tinfoil to me. There are plenty of viable missile PVP ships and the fact that they're introducing missile ships in the first place (even unbonused) would seem to argue against your point of view.

FIX THIS CCP The nerfs to supercaps will cause more super pilots to join the largest alliances who can properly "support" their deployment, further concentrating firepower/wealth in EVE. The end result will be fewer "fun" fights, and will hurt EVE in the long run. |

Why don't you start your own thread then? Too complicated for you I suppose. |

Im not saying their isnt viable missile PVP ships, their are plenty of viable if not great missile based ships that do well in pvp, the drake and tengu come to the top of the list in my opinon... what I was pointing out is that it seems CCP is pushing people to not use missiles in PVP. For the reasons I stated above.
You said they are introducing missile ships... they just introduced 4 new ships and not one of them are missile ships so I dont really understand that part of your comment. |

Exactly. Look, everyone and their pet dog knows that the Nighthawk has stupidly low grid ("can't fit normal weapons and a gang link" illustrates the problem perfectly). I'm not sure why fixing it is in any way a contested issue, other than that CCP isn't aware of the issue?

Just for the record: You can downsize- to assault launchers. They are bonused weapons on a Nighthawk.
