Actually gallente ships are designed by person who thinks that hybrids are powerful.
If hybrids were powerful, then it would be fair that ship carrying them are slow, have HORRIBLE CPU/PG, weird and useless bonuses and so on. this is how balance works (in eve)
Unfortunately Hybrids are not powerful. they are badly underpowerd compared to other weapon systems.
Minmatar ships on the other hand are created keeping in mind that projectiles are bad (maybe they were bad before? not sure) so their ships are versatile, fast, and.. just good.
so change the whole concept about hybrids being good. they are pretty much niche weapons and ship that carry them should be designet acordingly
This is CCP we're talking about. If you were around when Nozh really ****ed up the MS design you'd know how badly I want to go to Iceland and burn their offices down for not caring about Hybrids.
The one problem with Hybrids is their lack of range. Boost their range and you immediately boost their usability.
I have seen many posts defending the lack of range of hybrids but none have explained why Amarr can hit up to 50KM, whilst having the highest tracking, Minmatar can hit almost as far as Amarr and Caldari being able to hit up to 30KM with Torps (Torp Ravens are so rare they're rarer than platinum). An Abaddon can match the DPS of a Mega whilst outclassing it in every scenario and let's not even talk about Autocannons.
The imbalance is ridiculous and infuriating because CCP have been notified of this many a time.
I will vote for anyone who rebalances guns and adds more range to Hybrids. Adding extra damage will not do, as it's pointless. You can have a ship with a trillion DPS but the moment you're webbed or your MWD gets shut off all your DPS is useless and all you can do is wait to flee in your pod, because you're never going to reach your target anyway. The one thing that will help is, somehow, making them faster, but as I don't see it happening I want to see Hubrids being able to hit at up to 40KM. |
