Well I see you fools complaining don't really fly Blasterships much.


More tracking or a minor agility buff would be nice, beyond that they are fine. I think people see their short range in EFT and go like "WTF I Won't Fly That!?" or they try it once with half a**'d skills, do it wrong, and die a stupid flaming death.


Then they post here... an people think they have a clue.

For the deimos/thorax change the stupid mwd cap bonus to an mwd speed bonus. If the deimos could move at the same speed as a vaga it would be a lot more powerful without other changes. In fact it would probably be feared, as opposed to laughed at

I won't even talk about torps since a torp raven > blasterthron, in every way

ok ok... I exagerated.

megathron is sexier than the raven.

on the rest tho, torp ravens fill up the lows with dmg mods, a tank in the mids and do over 900dps from torps alone. More if you put rage torps in the equation.

in more realistic fits (3 dmg mods), the raven will have 850dps at up to 30km, while the megathron will deal 40dps more, at only 4.5km range (neutrons + faction AM) and you will only have 4 lowslots + rigslots for tank.

raven has 5 medslots (discounting obligatory mwd) + 2 lowslots (DCU + pdu for extra shields) plus the rigslots to give out tank, and it has 2 utility slots on top of it.

mobility-wise the raven is slower, yet that is quite easily countered by the fact that a) faction/stock torps hit up to 30km range, and b) you swap for javs and you all of the sudden can deal 670dps up to 45km range. even more if you add missile speed rigs, AND the bonus where you can pick your damage.

bthrons can only deal drone damage at those ranges.


conclusion: torp ravens, like pulse geddons (I won't even say anything about pulse apocs90km pulses?), and AC tempests/maelstroms, have a freakishly huge operability range (300%+), where they just deal marginally less damage than blaster ships (like 10-15% less damage).


In my view, this situation of being outreached by pretty much every weapon is not the problem.
