Don't know what to say ... I usually use only Caldari ships (roleplaying a bit), but I trained Gallente BS to 5 for the only purpose to be able to use the Moros as a drone ship. Trained heavy drones to 5 as well for this (Caldari BS don't use heavy drones). In 6 days the skill Gallente Dreadnought will be at 5 ... but now it's all wasted.
It's nothing new that the Moros has all that anti-subcapital abilities, why didn't they change it 3 years ago ? Instead now they upset all that people that trained for the Moros because of it's drone role ... no more fun at stations, that's just sad. _____________________________________________________ My skills // Faction Standings: Serpentis +8.02 / Angel Cartel +9.24 / Gallente Federation -10.00 |

Dreads primary function is to destroy structures and other capitals, the change has absolutely no effect on this.
What it does affect is pirate/station Moros used to kill sub-capitals while itself being untouchable due to hitpoints. In essense a low-sec Moros nerf. Bumping is hard as hell and on some stations down right impossible to not an option.
A long overdue change as far as I am concerned.
What was taken is given. Triage cycle being halved will be an enormous boost to low-sec gate fights. Enough time to make a difference but short enough to avoid most unplanned (or they scheduled these days ) hotdrops

Well, it only took 10 pages to drag out of the dev that there are more issues with dreads that they want to look at than removing the main reason to fly the Moros. There may be hope yet! ----

This nerf has been a long time comin', and it is most deserved. Moros will still be best (and very efficient) against smaller ships, which it really doesn't deserve to be because that is not the dreadnoughts' role and no other dread can do it, now it just needs to be in siege. I'm sure the station games were fun for those of you who weren't prepared to risk something to gain something, but alas balancing has finally caught up. ----------------------

I don't see how this is a problem.
the moros will still have the advantage over other dreads of killing smaller ships (from frigates to bs) quickly with a neigh over-powered drone bonus, now it just has to commit to the fight before doing so. That it can do so in siege is however acceptable imo

I feel that this change to the moros is sort of unfair, would be better to buff the performance of the other dreads vs small targets than handicap it like this.
At least give it the 10% per level that all drone boats have.

If they want to be "fair" then they should remove the unseiged bonuses from all the other Dreads too...
It makes absolutely no sense just to single out Gallente removing half their bonuses unseiged while other races still have their 2 bonuses.
Its a nerf for the sake of nerfing, since how many people actually whine about the unseiged 50% drone damage bonus? I've never seen any. Just plain daft.

Originally by: CCP, think of me before you break my sploithammer! If you lose your ship to Ogre II's you are an idiot. Heavy drones are rediculously slow. Why would you be at 0 on a moros anyway..
I'm sure you can think of/have been in situations where target was at 0 and died before he could say:

The other dreads' bonuses apply to their CAPITAL weapons which are USELESS out of siege. So all those bonuses are indeed USELESS out of siege. The Moros' drone bonus was the only one that wasn't.
And since when is the number of people whining about any given subject any indication of actual game imbalance? To argue that Moros was fine on the basis of personally witnessed whining frequency is about as weak an argument as it gets.

Seriously who thought CCP would release a patch without the traditional Gallente nerf?
What was the last expansion where Gallente didn't get a nerf? 1980?

The problem — in fact, the only problem with this change — is that in siege, it will take roughly 93 years (give or take) for a Moros to lock onto a subcap… ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |

Originally by: Tippia it will take roughly 93 years
plus the limitations on number of locked targets in siege. Considering the tower is target #1, if you're in a small ship that is locked by a moros in siege just warp on grid. You'd have to be nearly afk to get locked and shot at.

In my opinion the reaction to this nerf is more of a psychological nature.
The loss of drone bonus out of siege hasn't affected Moros's performance as a fleet dread in any significant way. and this performace isn't stellar: it has less tank and DPS than both Naglfar and Revelation.
But having huge drone damage bonus outside siege gave the Moros a niche, a place where it was best, even if it was just for fun and/or pretty situational. (had my fair share of cap fights and can't remember any occurence when something important was achieved by unsieged Moroses shooting support).
With that gone, people are a lot more prone to notice the shortcomings that were always there.
My alt can fly a Thanny and was training for the Moros, so I can only hope they will look more carefully at balancing the Moros vs. the other dreads when it comes to DPS in siege.
Just my 2 cents.

fear not, they are ( maybe ) lowering the time in and out of siege for dreads....
so yes, u it will make moros on stations easier to kill if they siege, but on the flip side they will still be able to wreck absolute havoc if they are used smartly.
its a decent balance

Ok, the only two things…
…and anyway, the target limitation wouldn't be that much of a limitation if the locking time was lower, so it's still only 1+ a problem at most. ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |

Lock ship. Sic drones. Go into siege. Drones keep shooting when you lose your lock. You'll be putting your trust in the drones rather ****ty AI to pick the next target though...

Moros needs bonus to drone control range, and drone optimal would be nice. No room for drone mods, drone damage is a huge chunk of its dps, and it cannot do that beyond 60km.

Ships get nerfed all the time. EVE is about risk. If you are unhappy with a sieged dread that tanks 10000 dps and deals 1000 dps to sub caps for low sec station games... welll.. too freaking bad.
You didn't read the post, did you?
I did read the post. You obviously didnt read mine. A dread has an insane tank, especially sieged. There must be some risk involved. Currently, a Moros can play station games with literally near zero risk because nothing can kill it before it can dock. At least with the new system a fleet of 100 bs or 20 dreads could kill it before it could end its siege cycle and dock. That seems.... fair.. doesnt it?
The one problem is that a sieged dread has crap lock times, so I would support giving the Moros a boost of some sort in its ability to lock sub caps (? possible ?).
But honestly, dreads are not meant to for this crap, they are meant for cap warefare.
Get a carrier.
PPS. The Phoenix sucks 110% against sub caps and really sucks (very long missile flight time) in large cap wars (the real PURPOSE of Dreads), so until that is fixed, who cares about the moros.

Dreads are not carriers, though, and aren't meant to be all that useful against subcaps. ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |

Boost the crappy xl railguns and be done with it imo.
In my opinion "out of siege" should not be a role for a dreadnought at all especially not the killing of smaller craft.
If the railguns are up to par there is no problem.
And for what its worth they mentioned looking into all xl closerange guns to see if anything can be done about it. If close range guns would be more viable on dreads - that could also alleviate the problem. I don't know how exactly this could be done though. --

You're arguing Jin, I'm just saying how disappointing it is...
Its sad that CCPs idea of balancing is to take something that is the only advantage of one certain ship compared to all others in its class, and then nerf it so that ship does nothing as well as any of the other races ships of that class.
Since the original "nerfbat Gallente" comment made by Abathur though they'd said they are looking at XL Blasters (and all short range XL weapons), so perhaps they will compensate the Moros for what its losing anyway. Here's hoping.

1 carrier and dread roles are different 2 way to ignore the rest of my post incld the comments about the phoenix 3 50% drone dmg gave Moros a broken superpower with no analogy for other races or even carriers 4 don't like it, crosstrain

Edited by: Ulstan on 16/09/2009 19:20:51 The station hugging moros swatting sub capitals aside as an abomination. This change was long overdue.
Also, I don't know where you get the idea that the consensus is all dreads are equal.
The Moros and Rev are (or were) head and shoulders above the Phoenix and Nalf.
Originally by: iudex It's nothing new that the Moros has all that anti-subcapital abilities, why didn't they change it 3 years ago ? Instead now they upset all that people that trained for the Moros because of it's drone role ... no more fun at stations, that's just sad.
I think the tears of the people who can no longer pull off that particular bit of inanity is one of the best parts of this change. It should never have had that capability in the first place.
Training for the FOTM has its risks, as always.

Originally by: Geminimixer Am training for Gallente capitals. Not happy with Moros change...Now it will be just the same as all the dreads.
I think this tells you all you need to know about the mentality of gallente pilots. Anything that brings their ship into line with the other races ships of the same class is a horrible horrible nerf!
Anyway, you're still better than the phoenix (worst dread) and arguably better than the nalfgar. You're not as good as the revelation, but that's an issue with the reveleation, not the moros.

And they still are. Dread can't use logistics effectively nor field fighters.
Originally by: xxxak

domi/ishtar have respectable drone bonuses. Carriers can field more than 5 drones versus outright drone bonus. So the analog did exist and the Moros was no superpower.

I already have cross trained for the rev, the new fotm.
