CCP does not want missile boats in fleet PvP.
incorrect.
Correct. It's pretty obvious they don't want missiles prevalent in pvp, or Caldari in general. In before the, but you have ECM! dev alts and fan boys. Cald ECM isnt Op, fit ECCM foo, the others just suck horribly.
They nerfed Cruise into general uselessness. No one uses Cruise Ravens for pvp, barring boring ass pos shoots maybe. There is simply no pvp niche for it to fit into that can't be totally wtfpwned by another weapon system. Anything requiring range + tracking + DPS = Amarr BS, or just range = Rokh (lol dps).
The expl velocity/radius missile nerf forced torp Ravens to fit painters and webs thus creating a super weak tank. Everyone primaries these first, asuming any are on the field in pvp, there arent mostly now, but you might see one at a gate camp , maybe.
Better off in an Amarr BS with great tracking, similar range and no need for 2 painters and triple webbing on the target.
The slotting for these ships was created WAY before the massive change the missile nerf brought. It hasnt been fixed, or ever will be. I know this, most pvp'ers know all this, CCP must know this, so it must be what they want.
And now they are talking nerfing the Drake, the only decent and inexpensive solo/small gang ship which is no more op than any other top/popular ship of it's respective shipclass; Hell, Chronitis even admitted this.
How long has the Drake been like this? Years! And suddenly they are Op? LOL!
So to sumarize: Cald got the ECM nerf, the Falcon nerf, the missile nerf which reduced applied dps across the board and took from needed midslots of multiple ships not to mention ruined Cruise for pvp, Raven is meh now, the various shield regen nerfs, rails still suck terribad in all ways except the most useless, and you want to nerf the Drake? Rofl *facepalm*
If it's a matter of tank or gank, you already boned us with the missile nerf once Chronitis. Want to do something constructive? Improve rail dps and/or tracking and look at blasters.
