Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.12 09:59:00 - [1] NightmareX stop already, good god man, you're not doing yourself any favours here. All I mostly use are blasters, and they need a buff. Better tracking and more damage, to bring them back to their close, heavy damage, role. The slight extra damage they have over pulse atm, does not cut the mustard. I am training up Amarr, been awhile since I've flown Amarr, but I see no other route to take. CCP will most likely dance around this problem for a couple of years. Let's face it, it's what we come to expect. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.12 11:52:00 - [2] Originally by: NightmareX Yes sir, boosting Blaster damage and Tracking is so gonna make other things in combat balanced, yeah, you sound very smart about that dude. Boosting Blaster damage and tracking is going to make Autocannons to a piece of junk. Ktnxbai. But fine, boost Blaster damage and tracking or whatever, but then do it to the Autocannons to. Before that happen, i'm not gonna support ANY Boosts to Blasters, EVER. Erm last I looked, this was a thread about blasters, if you want AC's to be boosted, then start another thread. Maybe you should take a chill pill before posting again, you seem to have lost your way a little. Regards Mag's

Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.12 12:12:00 - [4] Originally by: NightmareX Are you ******ed?. Now go and emo cry in a corner instead of crying to me that you sucks with Blasters. Classic. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.12 12:22:00 - [5] Originally by: NightmareX Yeah it's pretty classic that you didn't had anything to say against what i said to you. Out of words to say now?. Or maybe it's because i'm right. If you took the time and looked, you'd find I actually support a boost to AC's. Still, I find your reactions very funny, thanks for that. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.12 21:59:00 - [6] Man I've missed all the fun while at work. I've been doing it wrong all this time!!!!! damn it.

Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.12 23:22:00 - [8] Originally by: NightmareX Originally by: Mag's Very happy. Comedy gold infact. Yeah it's pretty comedy gold that this is actually a solution to the noobs with no capacitor skills. Because they can't use the MWD much before they run out of cap heh. More happy now?. Never stop posting, please. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.14 23:26:00 - [9] Originally by: Ad Valorem Originally by: Goumindong Originally by: Ad Valorem The problems appear to be with tracking since the web nerf but as Marn and others have pointed out there are also range and ammo problems which compound this. AND most people are comparing blasters using the Megathron, a ship with a huge tracking bonus. Except its not true. The web nerf hurt ships with lower tracking more than it hurt ships with higher. Follwed by more rubbish...... Your reply. You'll never get him to take any well made and salient points on board. He's only interested in playing word game and trolling blaster threads. He doesn't even fly blaster boats. His reputation proceeds him. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.16 19:09:00 - [10] Originally by: Electric Universe That's why i say Lasers only have a range advantage. Doesn't a range advantage equate to a damage advantage? Oh and that 16% figure, I just don't see it. (I may have very dark glasses on atm) Lasers track far better at their optimal than Blaster, so that figure doesn't fit. Lasers are hitting for more damage over time than Blasters, unless ofc you're lucky and land right on the target. Even then, the small extra damage just doesn't justify the use of blasters. I still love the 'in your face' attitude of blasters ship, but it's lost it's edge and definition. Regards Mag's

Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.16 19:18:00 - [11] Originally by: Electric Universe Reply. I've kept a track on almost every thread concerning blasters, and even your 30% at web range post doesn't fit with what I've noticed in-game, and see in detailed threads. In fact large blasters only have a very small window, in which they out damage lasers, and it's no where near 30%. Just where did you get 30% from? Just out of interest. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.16 19:45:00 - [12] Originally by: Electric Universe First of all, the Neutrons do 16.7% more DPS than Pulses gun stats wise. And when you look on the resists after one DC II and 2 EANM II's and maybe one ANP II, then you see that the resists to EM and Thermal is pretty high. And when you already know that Neutrons do 16.7% more DPS guns wise before any stats than Pulses does, and when the Megathron or a Tempest or any other ships that use an Omni tank have such high EM and Thermal resist's, then you will understand that the 1k DPS that Lasers have on the guns doesn't do 1k DPS anylonger. And since Blasters does Kinetic and Thermal damage, it means that on top of the 16.7% more DPS Neutrons have over Pulses, then they will still do even more damage on an Armageddon or an Abaddon after the resists. Because the Kinetic and Thermal resists are way lower than the EM resist. This is from another thread, showing the damage with webs fitted to all ships. Originally by: SecHaul Setup: All ships with webs, all close range ammo (Navy +15) Conclusion: Amarr still suffers the most from tracking, however do greater damage from 8 KM. Due to being able to swap crystals almost instantly, compared to 10 secs for other races, the conversion to Scorch (or a mid-range T1 ammo) means Amarr is the most effective DPS race from 8KM and never loses the lead in the scenario provided. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.16 19:48:00 - [13] Another. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.16 20:01:00 - [14] Another. Originally by: SecHaul OK, Goum, I fitted your above Myrm, using 2 EANMs. Stats are: Shield: 4883 (12.5, 30, 47.5. 56.3) Armor: 11110 (75.1, 67.6, 67.6, 55.1) Hull: 5371 (60, 60, 60, 60) Average resists: 66, 61, 63, 57 Compared to Tempest numbers of: 74, 63, 60, 56 When not using Minmatar EM bonuses, and the shift in weighting, the 74 to 66 will increase EM damage by 30%. I.E. we are a lot closer to omni-resists. Here is your graph, including drones, and the above Myrm resists: Doesn't change, Amarr kings from 14km against armor tanks. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.16 23:18:00 - [15] Originally by: Goumindong I don't get it, what is the point of showing graphs that the informed observer will know show how strong blaster ships are? You're right, you don't get it. Even with your graphs, it shows how small the damage gap is and how lasers out perform blasters. It isn't 30% extra damage from blasters, that's for sure. Thanks for proving my point. Regards Mag's

Thanks for proving my point. Yes, its actually much more than 30%. You didn't bother to look at the graphs did you? Quoting for the comedy word play. It's not even close to 30% never mind over that. Troll all you like gormy, you're wrong. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.17 15:54:00 - [17] Originally by: Goumindong Edited by: Goumindong on 17/03/2009 15:01:01 Originally by: Mag's Quoting for the comedy word play. It's not even close to 30% never mind over that. Troll all you like gormy, you're wrong. Now, this might just be me. But when the line that has blaster damage is over 30% higher than the line that has laser damage that would be described as "more than 30% damage increase". wow so at the awesome point of 4.5km it's 30%. Still means next to nothing in a TQ fight. Maralt said it perfectly. Originally by: maralt 30% more dmg at 4.5km is meh when you consider that from 4.5km-10km that 30% is severely reducing down and at 8-10km lasers are matching or doing the most dmg. Pulse > Blasters it's a fact, no matter what word games you play and how you twist the facts. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.17 17:10:00 - [18] Originally by: Electric Universe Originally by: Mag's wow so at the awesome point of 4.5km it's 30%. Still means next to nothing in a TQ fight. This must be the dumbest thing i have readed here. So you're saying that most fights on TQ are at 4.5Km? Who's dumb? Oh and it's 'read' not readed. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.17 17:45:00 - [19] Originally by: Electric Universe Who's dumb?, do you really think a gang of mostly Gallente ships warps into 20 km and start the fight there?. HAHAH, your really trying to look stupid here. OFC the gang with Gallente ships will warp right on top of you ass and pwn the crap out of you dude. And if you jump in to a system that is camped by someone, and land 20-25 km from them, then how long time does it take to MWD 15-17 km in a Mega?, meh, only some few secs. Oh noes, ONLY some few secs. So, you still wanna try to look away from how things are?. Who the hell mentioned a gang of Gallente ships????? Jeez you've lost the plot, maybe you should follow your main and stop posting. Just out of interest, why did you stop posting with your main? Embarrest I guess. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.17 17:53:00 - [20] Originally by: Lord Eremet Electric Universe = NightmareX ? I bet one mil that it his him, no earlier posts made from Electric except in this thread. Or is it a coincidence that he suddenly show up right after that NighmareX probably got forum banned? It is him. Regards Mag's

Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.17 18:18:00 - [21] Originally by: Electric Universe Uhm, we was talking about Blasters, and what kind of ships use Blasters?, yes Gallente ships and some very few Caldari ships. And when we talk about Blasters, then i give explanations on how to use the ships WITH Blasters right. I'm talking about TQ gangs, not made up sisi type stuff, I've never once been in a mainly Gallente gang on TQ, and I was talking about the relation of damage to lasers, I never once mentioned Gallente heavy gangs. Originally by: Electric Universe Also, just to let you guys stop speculating about me. Yes i'm a friend to NightmareX, and this is also my Main character. And also to let you know another thing about NightmareX. He have 10-11 days left of his forum ban. And because his alt is on the same account as NightmareX. Then he can't post with his alt either. It's simple as that. Fatality Killer is his alt. sophisticatedlimabean also got a 2 week ban from the forum, but he have maralt he can post on. Happy now?. Your posting style is very easy to spot, you're NightmareX. I'll show you one of your give aways, in a sentence below. you post like this. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.17 18:21:00 - [22] Originally by: Electric Universe NightmareX only have 1 account. So what, because i'm a friend of him and have almost the same posting style as him doesn't mean i'm his alt, at all. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.17 19:58:00 - [23] I also believe you to be NightmareX, being as you asked. Another of your posting give-aways, is the question mark followed by the full stop. ?. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.18 14:42:00 - [24] Originally by: Electric Universe For me it looks like there are many here that are very very bitter because CCP nerfed your ultimate pwnage machine (aka Megathron) a little some time ago. A Megathron needed that little nerf. Because it was just way to powerfull earlier. This post just shows how clueless you actually are. Just a hint for you, the Mega has been far from 'overpowered' for years, a fact that my good friend Dalman could attest too. As he has started many a thread in the past regarding that fact, with very detailed and informative facts. The last time the Mega was powerful, was pre the damage module stacking nerf, a time when the Geddon ruled with lasers. Fun times. The QR patch finished off a long and slow decline of the blaster boat, a decline that gave us a smudging of the definition and differences of weapon systems. All or most of your PvP experience has taken place on sisi and you've not used blasters on TQ for PvP. Whether posting with you main or this char, if people show you arguments that fit the topic, but don't fit yours, you get personal and call them either ******ed, dumb or stupid. No wonder you had your main banned. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.18 22:10:00 - [25] Originally by: Electric Universe maralt, Mag's and Childstar, no matter what kind of idiotic crying / whining or trolling your doing, it's not gonna prove ANYTHING that Blasters need to be boosted. Back with the personal insults I see, when someone disagrees with you. You've lost all credibility NightmareX. Originally by: Electric Universe I have given like 1000 reasons and have given good examples on why Blasters does NOT need a boost now. And also why such boost to Blasters would make WAAAAAAAY more problems that it fixes. Really? Well if that's true, there have been as many, if not more reasons for a boost. Originally by: Electric Universe Oh by the way. Hepren D'narr. You don't understand how Blasters works, so is it any suprise that you don't see the reasons i have told about basicly everything that have with Blasters to do?. So whine all you can bud. You don't use Blasters on TQ, so it's no surprise you don't understand the issues. I'm not going to reply to any more of your posts, you throw too many personal insults at people. I'm sure you'll throw one at me. Have fun on sisi. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.21 20:03:00 - [26] I see NightmareX the sisi warrior, is still getting personal and abusive. Arguing with people of that nature, is a lesson in futility. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.23 13:55:00 - [27] Originally by: Electric Universe First off, i'm from Norway and NightmareX is from Norway to. And english is not our strongest language to write. The hole NightmareX is in is no where as big as the EFT warrior hole is. That hole is huge. No your not a sisi warrior, but your a forum alt who doesn't have the balls to post with your main, witch means you fail much much more. But as you can see, NightmareX haven't posted here on this forum now for about 7-8 days. He still have 5-6 days left of his forum ban. So how can he post here?. Oh the irony. Not sure which is the saddest.... NightmareX complaining about alt posting Is a sisi warrior, complaining about peoples EFT fits, when he has no clue how to fit a ship himself. Still claiming Electric Universe is not him. The only reason I can think, as to why he still keeps on the pretence, is account sharing. Electric Universe could well be his friends, but NightmareX is using it for forum trolling. Everyone and their dog knows it's NightmareX. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.23 14:29:00 - [28] Originally by: Electric Universe And everyone knows that all you can do is to troll. Ok, from now on i'm gonna accuse you for being an isk seller. You gonna like that?. I have my internet proofs that you are. Maybe you should write about what this topic is about instead of accusing me for being someone i'm not. Being delusional cannot be easy, I feel sorry for you, I really do. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.23 15:11:00 - [29] Originally by: irion felpamy Originally by: Childstar Post... You are assuming they are both firing at eachother, in reality they would both be victimising some poor bastard in a tempest. I have to say that made me laugh IRL. Regards Mag's
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.24 15:11:00 - [30] Originally by: Electric Universe Still, it's 1 year and 2 months since the Amarr boost, and still they are way way behind a Megathron in most used ships. I'm not denying that Amarr BS'es is not going to be more used. All i'm saying is that with the speed of cross training from Gallente to Amarr that is now, it's going to take at least 5 more years before Amarr BS'es will get on top of most used ships. But then, before that time, many things with ships in EVE could have changed alot before that though. Not sure what 1 year 2 months has to do with anything, I decided to start Amarr when they nerfed webs, that wasn't that long ago. It showed up the Tracking issue with Blasters at their optimal. So I finished off some skills and I am now 6 days off Medium Energy Turret 5. I'm sure NightmareX will call me names and stuff now so, fire away. P.S. Great ownage by others here, made me laugh IRL. Regards Mag's

Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.03.24 15:22:00 - [31] Originally by: Electric Universe Surfed for a pic, just for me..... Thanks, you never fail to impress to me and others, what type of person you are. Regards Mag's

LOL, i never though that Norway was Australia. You must be through to there already, crikey you been digging that hole for weeks now. Regards Mag
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.04.07 09:06:00 - [36] OMG ~~Electric Universe~~ NightmareX, just when I think you've posted the funniest thing ever, you come up with another gem. Never stop posting. Regards Mag
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.04.07 11:11:00 - [37] Originally by: NightmareX EDIT: Also Mag's, i think the player that is called Rivur'Tam, that is in the same corp as you are in can pretty much agree with me that the Gallente BS'es and eventually the Kronos is the most awesome RR gang BS'es today. I'm glad you think you know him, but you'll find he spends most of his time in the Devoter. The Kronos is a great blasterboat, the reason is clear, but it's not for regular use. On TQ that is. Never stop posting ~~Electric Universe~~ NightmareX, it's pure entertainment. Regards Mag
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.04.10 11:05:00 - [38] I guess you could stretch the kills to 220 at best, and that's giving you the benefit of the doubt. But none of those are in a Mega, lying and saying 600, is just daft. Mind you, you would have us believe Electric Universe wasn't you, so I guess adding more kills is neither here nor there. Regards Mag
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.04.10 11:42:00 - [39] Edited by: Mag''s on 10/04/2009 11:46:05 We don't use that Killboard, but nice try. I've never gone on about how many kills I have, the issue was about you claiming to have 600, but failing to prove it. You also claim to use the Mega, but failed to prove that too. Find the correct Killboard first, then come back to me. Edit: I use the Mega because I'm spec'd for it, I am training for lasers as I have said many times. Regards Mag
Mag's the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2009.04.10 12:36:00 - [40] Edited by: Mag''s on 10/04/2009 12:40:46 Originally by: NightmareX EDIT. LOL, 278 kills on battleclinic Mag's. the united's killboard, of which you've yet to find, takes all our info from our API. I've been with the united for 2 months give or take, and 3 weeks of that I didn't log on due to 12 hour night shifts. Most of those kills on BC are from the united. It's the most I've played since 2007, if you look at the kills on BC you'll see the dates of kills and the gaps, I hardly logged on in 2008. My kills are not the issue here, although you seem to be desperately clinging on to them. I've never ever posted any kills on Battleclinic, so they must collect and source them from killboards. Now stop ranting and show us proof of your kills and Mega usage. Edit: spelling Regards Mag
