Balance after 5 years in a game should be done with smaller and smaller, cautious steps.

Actually it was tracking boost+(huge)damage boost at same time that made stuff stupid. 5% damage boost+10-15% tracking should be easily doable. Too late now for me to number crunch tho. Thing is: if you want to fix blasters do not touch damage, it screws waaaaay too many things up.

Also on the ACs. 5% damage across the line, slight faloff boost and now... ze tempest:
why not change its bonuses towards damage. 10% damage bonus/level (instead of 5% rof 5% damage) and add another 5/7,5/10% faloff/lvl bonus. Up drone bay to 100-125 at the same time. Effect? Tempest still wont be the best damage dealing platform but: you get more-less same DPS from ACs (loses rof but gains 50% damage at lvl5 and another 5% from AC buff) and at the same time gets huge faloff + some more all round damage from drones.

Result? Better AC boat with 2 spare hislots (for neuts/nosf warfare), better sniper boat (both range boost from faloff and higher alpha from damage instead of ROF).

Just a late night idea tho + i've never flown a pest ;p So i might be totally missing it. What ya think?

EDIT:
actually i think it wouldnt need larger drone bay after all those changes. current pest is 670gun dps (rf emp) 3+20range. After changes it would be around 670dps but at 3+30 range and 3+45 on barrage. Hmmmm.... barrage hitting up to 80km? ;p O well just an idea.

This, except put in optimal instead of falloff bonus. Make it a long range arty platform. Apoc, raven, mega all shoot out to 200km, should the tempest which is also a tier2 bs be different?

It seems to me that a typical setup for a blaster mega is this:

(I got the fit from the TRI KB).

HIGHS
7 x neutron blaster T2.
1 x solace RR.

MIDS.

1 x best named mwd.
1 x t2 point.
1 x t2 best named web.
1 x t2 best named heavy injector.

LOWS.
2 x mfs t2.
2 x anp t2.
1 x dcu t2.
2 x best named plates.

+ 3 x armour rigs.

This gives it 832 turret dps at 4.5km and 118,338 ehp.



While a easily available abaddon fit like this:


HIGHS
7 x mega pulse t2
1 x T2 RR.

MEDS
1 x best named mwd.
1 x best named point.
1 x best named web.
1 x heavy cap injector t2.

LOWS

3 x hs t2.
2 x best named plates.
1 x eanm
1 x dcu.

+ 3 x armour rigs.

This gets 802 turret dps out to 15km (300% more range for only 30dps lost compared to the mega) and 149,678 EHP (31,340 more than the mega) and has better overall resists (no explosive hole).

lol idea for blasters: take actual null, decrease damage to standard AM add web strenght +5% each gun web range -5% each gun with stacking penality on both bonus and malus should come out some decent numbers.

im not really serious but could be a idea

---

I like this, it blends well with my 'fix the t2 ammo' idea. But make it Void, Null is used and has received much praise in this thread.

5% per weapon may be a bit high, but the actual number can be tweaked. Basically, dmg bonus->x% web strength bonus, tracking malus->x% web range malus.
