This is getting old now. I mean c'mon, how long will you keep Minnie HACs below sea level of usefulness is beyond me. In most cases now, pilots just flat out give up on using Minnie HACs in favor of the either the Deimos/Sacrilege/Ishtar for brawling and Ishtar/Zealot/Eagle/Cerberus for sniping.
Is that a coincidence? I don't think so. Why? Well for one they don't have wasted utility highs like the Minnie HACs do. So for starters I purpose that you get rid of the wasted utility high-slot on the Minnie HACs and give them an additional mid-slot.

Move one of the vagabonds low to a mid. Done.
Muninn needs about 20% more grid at least and the utility high moved to a mid. |

For you to even have to ask for a reason why they need additional mid-slots means you don't fly HACs. Those that fly HACs are already full aware that these poor Vagabonds that CCP left behind needs some immediate attention. And the reasons why have already been mention in many posts before this one but still the problems have not gotten resolved. So this post is more of a reminder to CCP that they need to address the pitiful state that the Minnie HACs are in atm.

Setting that aside and moving back to the question at hand since the HAC's as a group have had their balance pass the obvious answer, even though you do not want to hear it, is that these ships are in the place that CCP wants them to be.

Let's be fair here, either Med Proj or minnie HAC need some serious love.
Pick one, but don't try and deny there are issues, that's a bit like saying the earth is flat in 2016... |

The Muninn is just awful. Like pre-buff Deimos awful. You can't fit anything to it, it has a rubbish tank and it has wet noodle DPS.
You're unironically better off in a rupture, it's basically the same and if you die people won't laugh at you for flying a Muninn. |

So in other words you saying don't fly Minnie HACs and fly something else? That happens to be what I and everyone else is doing anyway since Minnie HACs are a joke.
I'm not asking for them to be given Uberness (Deimos) like buff, just a small adjustment. They don't need the utility highs and goes unused most of the time anyways so why not give them a mid slot instead.
Mid Arties have ridiculous PWG requirements and should also be address. That or give ships like the Munnin enough PWG to be able to fit them properly. |

I'm not going to claim to be any sort of expert, but I once put forth an idea that could help resolve the fitting issues. If a Minn ship is designed for artillery, one of the ship bonuses should be a percentage less powergrid needed to fit medium projectile turrets. If the ship is tier-2, allowing for four bonuses, then another bonus should go to medium projectile damage (not rate of fire). That would hopefully resolve the fitting issues and make dedicated artillery platforms perform very well in their intended role.

The complaint with that is that weapons should be designed to fit on the ships they are intended to be used. Medium sized ships shouldn't need bonuses to fit medium sized guns, they should just have stats that allow medium sized ships to fit them.
It seems like CCP have over the last several years resorted to gimping ships on fitting as a blunt instrument way of "balancing" them. If you can't actually put a reasonable combination of modules on a ship it's impossible for it to be overpowered even if it turns out that its bonuses or base stats are too powerful.
And it's crap. I can find a use for a ship with bad bonuses and adequate fitting, I can't do anything with a ship that I can't even put guns or a full tank on even it it has amazing bonuses.
Also Zealots are really godawful too. |

I meant to speak in general terms, not just medium-sized, so my bad on that.
People complain about Amarr ships and laser cap use bonus being a "wasted" bonus, but I can see potential in that. It helps prevent other non-racial ships from using the weapon system, then you just have to make sure the weapon system is WORTH using despite the "wasted" bonus. I think that's where CCP is failing with weapons right now. Hybrids are good all-around, and as soon as they announced changes that one Amarr frigate, everyone spoke up about how they were going to fit blasters or AC's to it, because lasers aren't really worth it. That's the problem.
Artillery can also be made to be quite potent, and made to only really fit well on Minn ships through a racial PG trait. It'd be a "wasted" bonus, but if artillery is potent within it's role, and you don't want the system ending up on dozens of unintended ships (like blasters or AC's), then you can make it hard to fit and give Minn shps that trait to make it work. Yes, this means both lasers and artillery might need some slight buffs, just enough to strike that balance of "I'd use it despite the wasted bonus, because it is good and competitive when I can use it with that trait". What those buffs might look like, to what extent, or at all, might make for good discussion. But I do think there's potential there.

While this approach may make Hybrids best fit on Gal and Cal hulls, Lasers on Amarr and Projectiles on Minnie hulls. This is ultimately a poor balance approach. "blank" ships like the Gnosis should be the metric for determining if weapon systems are balanced.
If a cruiser sized Gnosis with average to average-good stats all round was created and release for balancing purposes on Sisi, one should expect it to be seen with all potential weapon types. Currently the very last thing you would EVER see someone fit it with would be Arties. Followed very sadly by Beams, Heavies, hams, Pulse, Autos, Rails, Blasters, and probably most commonly Rapid lights.
Why?
Arties require a horrendous amount of grid, and don't provide dps, alpha, or range that seems to compensate for it in the eyes of players. The problem is not with the Muninn, it is a great artillery ship with great artillery bonus's. Arties are just bad until you get to ships with LOLWUT grid and amazing arty bonus's like canes and fleet canes.
Fit a 650 arty stabber, then fit a 200 rail stabber. Cry. because the 200 rail stabber gets better stats, better t2 ammo, and only misses out on the cap that the rails use. |

So in other words, you're saying that even if CCP gave the Minnie HACs the extra mid slots that they would still suck? Would it help if they're fit with a TC II with tracking speed scripts (this is one of the reasons I wanted them to have extra mid slots)?

His point is that you start up a topic calling for change, yet fail to incorporate any direction from the start in what needs to be done. All you effectively did was "Mmmkay.... Minmatar HAC is bad, 'kay? Now /discuss".
Personally I'd love to see the Muninn to gain a few small adjustments that allow it to be fairly competitive without making it oppressive. How this can be done I am not 100% certain, as I am just one pilot of many. But I'd love to see one low-slot be swapped to a midslot. Keep the utility high, they are actually useful. As a brawler myself, I'd love to see some love to auto-cannons in terms of range on the ship, but I am not sure how strong it'd make artillery fits. Perhaps change the optimal range bonus to a 15% fall off bonus per level?
All my posts are on my personal title and should not be confused as me speaking for anyone else.

Before I start on some specific answers it seems I have not made myself and my thoughts clear to the rest of you, apologies for that. I simply do not care what happens to the minnie HAC's since I never have and never will fly them, not because they were or are bad, simply because as a drones pilot they do not offer what I want.

The TRUTH is in front of us all you have to do is look and you will see it. As a class the HAC's got their balance pass and since then the Ishtar has been adjusted on what 3 separate occasions and still the minnie ships have not been touched. From this evidence there are only 4 conclusion that can be drawn. 1. CCP believes these ships fit nicely into the niche they created for them so no adjustments are needed. 2. They are to busy with other more pressing issues to have the time for these ships, personally I doubt that since they have made adjustments to other ships along the way. 3. CCP has painted themselves into a corner with these ships and everything the try in their in house testing has proven to be worse for the game as a whole than what we have. 4. CCP is simply blind and stupid and cannot see that which you claim to be obvious. I will leave it to each of you to decide which of these may apply.

In case you have not noticed CCP is in the midst of giving all ships a more specialized role or niche in the game, perhaps the changes (or the lack of changes) to the minnie HAC"s was done on purpose so they better fit the role that CCP has envisioned for them, whether that role is what you want it to be is not relevant.

[quote=Segraina Skyblazer]IMid Arties have ridiculous PWG requirements and should also be address. That or give ships like the Munnin enough PWG to be able to fit them properly. The first thought that comes to mind is that the low PG indicates the use of auto canon instead of arties, going back to the role that CCP is creating for ships perhaps this is the role CCP wants for this ship.
While lowering the PG requirements for medium arties may help this ship, what does it do to the balance of all of the other ships in the game that can fit medium arties aince PG is always one of the factors used when balancing a ships.
If you increase the PG on this ship what potential does that open up for a creative OP fit of the month? |

Not at all. the Vagabond needs a low moved to a mid, and the Muninn needs a high moved to a mid. This would wholesale fix both ships. End of story.
However amazingly popular that would make the vagabond, the Muninn would still languish because its hull bonus's strongly imply Arty fits with the bonus to optimal. And the problem with arties is not the ships. Its the arties. The muninn can't be fixed with a slot movement like the vagabond can. Arties need their grid cost dropped down to a few PG more than 250 rails. Rather than bucket loads more. |

I'm unsure how the muninn is bad, if you buffer fit them they're half decent for mid size skirmishes albeit speed can be a problem
The vaga on the other hand, if it loses a low it would lose dps or manoeuvrability, the muninn losing a high for a mid could bring in the possibility of shield tanking. |

My natural instinct with everything is to buffer fit it. But when I did that with a muninn the result was I basically just had a rupture that cost ten times as much.

The tracking bonus and the optimal range bonus are both very good bonuses for the Muninn, but the ship desperately needs another mid slot instead of that utility high slot. Why? Well for one, Minnie has excellent T2 Shield resist profile and like you said, it opens the option for shield tank fits. Armor tankers needs the extra mid for prop, tackling, and cap boosting mods since the ship is practically a spacebrick when armor tanked.

Part of the problem is not with the HAC's but with the medium AC's/Arty. Though the Optimal bonus should be Optimal+Falloff to work on all weapons. But the alpha on arty is not sufficient relative to the EHP of the targets to make up for the lack of range & consistent DPS, and AC's in general have issues (Ammo should affect fall off also for example, and then give them all a bit more optimal to balance so that ammo choice actually matters on AC's). |

Well I fly dual passive shield tanked arty Lokis because it's the best option for what I'm doing. But If that Muninn had a 4th mid slot and a bit more PWG then I could save 800 mill easy and fly it instead of these expensive Lokis. |

The Vagabond was formerly THE premier kiting heavy tackle and frig/dessie killer.
I am not advocating returning it to OP speed status of yore; however, make it a skilled pilots ship of choice again. Aside from speed....perhaps think outside the box and give it the option to fit missiles up top? Something different?
As far as the Muninn goes perhaps a painter bonus and the PG to fit arty without a sham tank?
I find it sad that both ships remain non-realistic options for serious pilots in 2016. |

Given how long CCP let grossly underpowered things languish, history tells us that it's fairly obviously #2 & #4, in that order.
You did forget a possible option though - the CCP think they'll be fine when they whack the "overpowered" stuff into line. I am inclined to disagree though. Medium projectiles are suffering from the same fate as heavy missiles are - they were too good once, so they must pay for those sins through a number of years of being abysmal. People have been saying for 3 years that the HML nerf was too much and it took until the BC rebalance (I think) for them to even throw them (the wrong) bone. |

Yeah this seems like the correct area to ask, so on that Vaga thing...what happened with that? I've been toying with one on SiSi, and everything about the ship, from the bonuses to the race, scream "5 mids!" like Patrick Stewart might, if you interrogated him long enough in a Cardassian prison.
Where is this thing's 5th mid? I see a lot of potential in this ship but I can't see how a shield ship from a shield race ended up with more lows than mids. Four mids is unreasaonble, it's laughable, it's a Cardinal Sin on this ship. How did this seem right to deploy in the first place, and what's stopped the fixing of this thus far?
A shield race that supposedly has versatility as a design philosophy putting out a HAC with super-tight four mids just doesn't make sense. But hey I've never been accused of knowing this game too well, so maybe someone here could explain to me the thought process behind the four mids? I'm assuming it made sense to someone at the time.
Let's discuss overhauling the way we get intel in EvE.

With the new release schedule and an admission from CCP that they have been remiss in addressing in game situations in a timely manor we really need to look at more recent events as our indicator of what we can expect. The Ishtar, Gila, T3 dessies and jump fatigue changes are all examples of the more timely changes that have come out of this.
However you are correct in that I did forget an important possibility, perhaps they are not changing these ships because they are working on a yet to be announced change that will bring these ships into line, or possibly they want to wait until after this possible change and then adjust them if needed. |

Start by making arty/auto-cannon fittings requirement more in line with pairs of other gun type. The PWG requirement is just stupid. Auto-cannon boat are completely locked into using them because nothing at all will fit if you put arty on and arty designed ship become space oddity with large amount of PWG free if you fit autos for potential over-propping or over tanking. |
