Originally by: Obsidian Hawk OP you dont read the forums much do you?
Go to the test server feedback forum and read the threads of navy and pirate ship changes.
then you will see why pirate ships cost so much.
/thread
But thats against n00b forum thread creation etiquette. You always make a thread before you are well informed on the subject hoping to get other people to do your work for you.
edit: meh

Originally by: Nifter Telfo That's exactly the reason I'm posting this actually. I'm curious whether people consider these ships worthy of their price tag and additional training costs in some cases.
After testing out pretty much every newly redone faction ship I can tell you that yes they will mostly be worth the money if you have the money to spend. In the case of the new navy faction ships well those can be had for only a few mil over the base t1 hull if you know how to get them. Pirate ships are a bit more problematic to get on your own but its still doable if you have some cunning and determination. As far as worth the price that will be asked for in contracts on Dominion day then probably not for the average player but give it a few months for the price to stabilize and they should settle down to a decent price point for moderatly wealthy players to use at will or as a nice station spinner/mission runner for the less than wealthy or plex buyer.

Originally by: Bo Bojangles Hopefully after the update, all the faction variants will provide viable, attractive alternatives to their T2 counterparts.
I'd say that the pirate ships are slighty better than t2 and the new navy bs and frigs are near or on par with t2 depending on the ship.

Originally by: Nifter Telfo Definitely not the AN Slicer, man did we get the short end of the stick on that ship's model.
Too bad then as it will be one of the best frigates after the changes. 60km beams with 150 dps or 30km pulse with 300dps rolling along at 4000ms is gonna be rather nice.

I would hope this isn't a troll (cus those numbers would be awesome!) but I fail to see how a 50% optimal range boost is good for anything with only 2 medium slots. If you put an AB you're just going to get webbed and stuck in the opponent's optimal, which will probably be either ACs or blasters at <1000m.
If you're going MWD, you will barely have enough cap to run the disruptor, MWD and lasers for 30 seconds. I suppose if you have someone else web and scram, you could provide glass cannon dps from range.
Anyway, for the life of me, I can't figure out how you are getting the values you posted. Are you talking about the frigate Slicer or some kind of cruiser?
As a buffed Punisher I suppose it's decent, but I still don't see the point of extra optimal.
Try them out on the test server or even easier look at the new stats that are posted in the test server forum section? But to save you the couple of clicks the new imperial slicer gets the maruader damage bonus in addition to the optimal bonus only it is in level by level fashion instead of all at once. Add in inty agility and speed with af fittings and hp and you will have one helluva ship.
