AstroPhobic Divine Retribution	Posted - 2009.08.07 00:56:00 - [1] Are you referring to the dev(s) or the players giving input?

Projectiles need work and the tempest itself needs a role. It's posts like the above "claiming" that people who support a buff want 2004 alpha instapopping tempests back that just irk me. No, I'm not ****ed cause the ship I spent months training for is useless now. Rather, I'd like to see things balanced. I haven't so much as considered a Minnie bs (sides a torp/neut phoon) since training amarr bs 5. This is bad.

AstroPhobic Divine Retribution	Posted - 2009.08.07 17:58:00 - [4] I disagree entirely. The domi and mega have obviously different roles. The abaddon and geddon are admittedly similar, but their speed/agility, price, and armor/mid differences are enough to acceptably seperate them. Now. The phoon makes a better plate ship and the maelstrom makes a better shield tanker. So no, the pest isn't better at either of those. The phoon is also a better small ship killer. Faster, ability to fit 4 bonuses cruise and heavy neut support and or rr. Once capped out, 5 heavies and 4 cruise will make short work of any support. The pest isn't as fast and must rely on two neuts and subpar performance of ACs. As for the utility mids (it's obvious the phoon is better with utility highs - it can fit 4(!) and is still able to pump out 1k dps) - they're not that great. The phoon makes better use of it's 8-4-7 slots than the tempest can it's 8-5-6. Next time the fc asks you why you're using a pest instead of a phoon and you say two utility mids - don't expect anything short of a constant stream of laughter.
AstroPhobic Divine Retribution	Posted - 2009.08.07 21:52:00 - [5] The mael actually makes a better fleet sniper than the tempest, mostly due to EHP. An interesting thought that would never fly is switching the slots to 6/6/7. Man, that would be a monster. Talk about versatility!

I wouldn't cry... too much. Erm. It'll be faster and more agile right? It might be ok then you know just because that's what I've been miss- ing since the days of the ol- d nano phoon.
