Edited by: Winter II on 19/03/2007 11:17:08 I am sure somone already have mention this and many many have already whined about it probalby.
I wonder... Is the Interceptor the ship type that is based on its speed? That is how i understod it. A interceptor is nice to have fast lock a target and it can orbit at a greate speed and speed tank until rest of gang can lock and start killing for real.
But with the things today that can make a huge ship (like a battleship) go at the same speed as a interceptor and speed tank insteed of the interceptor... wow is all i can say. How can something that big get a speed like that,
So the speed is now gone for the interceptor, what does it have? Fast lock time?

Edited by: Heelay Ashrum on 19/03/2007 11:22:43 1) things are going to be nerfed, so BS will not be soo fast as they are now ( check the next patch details).
2) full speed BS need fult faction setup and faction implants, so the cost to reach the "same speed of an inty" is not exacply the same.
3) IMHO the inties have a role and they are very usefull and versatile, at least much more than some af's ....

theres BATTLEships competing with 100% mining ships
oh and battleships moving as fast as a interceptor
battleships that can deal with frigates.. sure/ or cruisers BCs, destroyers..
they can tank.. having them support someone with remote stuff would work sufficient enough aswell
they might aswell drop any other ship, because its only advantage is its size
making a BS faster is one thing.. making it go several KM/s is seriously.. unlogical and if not that, atleast it takes away flavour of other ships
making a BS mine as fast as a mining barge you have to train for a month or 2 (while you could probebly also be in a BS by then) is also something that.. bothers me to no end
leaving options open to the player might add alot of flavor to the game, but it also makes people like me feel i should really just get into a BS and do ANYTHING better, oh and i can still equip a gun to it and be a offensive weapon aswell.
ok im a nub so i know alot, but i do know this has bothered me from the start :p

Pfft. It isn't unlogical at all seeing you are using -MICROWARP- equipment. Sure I agree, this new patch will be pretty sweet but ya must know, that if a BS still uses a MWD it will go faster. Stop complaining about those bloody speed tank. EQUIP ******* WEBS EKejhipehppehje, x2 x3 :( ------------------------------

i dont mind having big ships going fast and speed tanking what i mind is the interceptor role and speed advantage is outrunned by other bigger ships that are not build to only go fast. interceptor have no tank etc bs have tank interceptor should go way faster than any faction uber fitted BS. lets suppose that a faction uber ultra super fitted bs has a max speed of 5000 m/s the interceptor should easily go faster than that with a t1 fitting. both ships can speed tank but the interceptor will still have hes role as a speed ship

Now that is unlogical. As some of you may know, in space there is no force slowing down ships (in the form of air resistance etc). So, if we want to go into realism, as many of you imply by saying that it is unrealistic for big ships ships to reach high speeds (let's say 7 Km/s). Well, it's not. Since there is no negative force (ignore gravity) the ships would accelerate constantly, giving them a top speed just under 3 * 10^8 (Light). That is the whole point of Eve, it's versatility. A BS with a speed of 7 Km/s is vulnerable if you web it to 70 m/s (which should be no prob if you fit like.. 3 webs). Nothing is ultimate, everything's got it's strength and weakness. This answer came up after a conversation with a very good friend of mine; Read it through and learn those of you who say that speed tanking should be nerfed!!!!

interceptors won't get nerfed with the upcoming patch .. it's more like they get a "boost"
instead of BS that fly like interceptors - the interceptors are again the speed-kings of EVE.
maybe some of the interceptor setups will go slower with the upcoming patch ... but then again - i fly closerange setups - so i don't bother that much what bonuses are now on nanofibers and i-stabs since i won't/can't/didn't use them anyway. ___________________

No matter how fast you make a BS travel, its still a really really big target, and if you cant hit it when its in range then you probably shouldnt have guns fitted to your ship, let alone be in combat in the first place.
interceptors on the other hand are rediculously fast rediculously small rediculously hard hitting little ships.
it's easy enough to break 1km/s on a BS, but its not so simple to maintain. where a interceptor can run at insane speed constantly. and even if you have a BS traveling at 1-2km/s it's still a f***in whale and can still be hit by just about anything.
its not about the top speed, its about the size and manuverability with inty's
