Though Caldari, I fly Amarr. Level 5 in all ship types.
Throughout my almost 3 years in eve I have seen lasers go from useful, to useless.
To put it plainly lasers now = underpowered.
Look at it thus;
Relative same dmg to projectiles, give or take some skills on each. They used to be better then rails (I'm so glad Caldari, which I also fly, got that much needed boost to the powerhouse ships they already have) but with the new changes they'll be on par with those as well, give or take a skill or three. They use massive cap, which is always an issue. Weapons using cap? Oh ****zle. No repairing for me. The cap bonus we DO get, to make up for the cripple effect we have, only takes away from having another bonus like all the other races.
I.E No cap to shoot? Here, have a bonus, which will only HELP negate the lack of cap. While the other ships bask in the greatness of 2 awesome bonus's that make them BETTER, not help them recover from polio.
EM and Therm dmg. Okay, I understand the logic of it. Beam of light = Heat/Therm... EM dmg? Okay, I'll roll with that. The other races get to pick and choose dmg? So what, I don't have limited ammo and no reload time. All well and good until I run into an armour tank. It's like watching a mute kitten try to kill a dog by screaming. Stupid. It wasn't so bad before the laser dmg nerf. Now it just rams home the boost the rails are getting.
So now we have the 2 BS's the Amarr started with, basically 2nd to the other races. (except the minnie's pilots who thought they only needed to train projectiles... fools!)
Here's an idea! How about another LASER BS. And not only do the lasers cripple you to start off... but we'll help the disease and smash you in the mouth with a hammer.
Thanks CCP. Next time, use some lube.
Really though, the ship looks awesome, but as a pilot who has flown both Caldari and Amarr for years, and watched Caldari surpass Amarr in almost everything, again and again, I'm saddened by Kali.
The new Caldari ubership is great I'm sure, and I know I'll own some, who would pass up the pwnage? But for EvE's sake, why the fruit did the Caldari (the uber race don't you doubt, look at what the % of players fly) get yet ANOTHER awesome ship to troll around in? While CCP totally screwed the other 3 races. Do any of the Dev's even FLY other races then Caldari? Am I missing a CCP inside joke?
"lol watch deez nubz make der minnie pilots. 15$ cha-ching!"
I feel bad for those who can't fly Caldari and must now choose between the tier 2 BS's, or the +50mil for... some more hps.
Oh, and what is wrong with the Amarr getting a drone BS as good as the Domi? For an extra 100mil it better have the same dronespace. Hell take away 2 or 3 turret hardpoints. I don't care, gimme something to use other then LASER LASER LASER NO CAP NO REP DEAD.
Honestly, I'm sick of spending money on Amarr ships when using Caldari makes more sense. If this isn't changed in a big way, only the diehard loyal fanboys of the other races will remain playing them. The trend is killing the usefulness and fun of ther other races BS's.
Here's to Kali and CCP, may all our ships be even and meet in the halls of Valhalla.
