I was really hoping for a Fap worthy rocket tristan with a armour rep bonus.
Dreams shattered. Though this drone Tristan is not bad at all. Would love to see the tracking bonus dropped for something else, admittly 5% hybrid damage per level would be a little bit OP with the drones and an armour rep bonus would make it silly for pve.
Still. Good job CCP. Also that breacher, I might have to give that a whirl. I lied :o

What about the Inquisitor? It's getting a new role, to be unveiled along with the last set of frigs.
I'm not following the paradigm here, are all the races getting 2 combat frigates? If so, why on earth is the mining frigate becoming a combat frig, and a combat frig becoming something else?
Inquisitor should be in this group as far as I can tell from the information we have already. Would much rather the Tormentor became the new non-combat ship. |

We didn't like giving Gallente a missile bonused t1 frigate and then leaving them with a stealth bomber (for which skills in rockets and light missiles actually have 0 impact) as the only possible upgrade.
So what's the point of having a Gallente T2 stealth bomber at all?
Seriously, you've now laid out that there isn't a single Gallente frigate that requires any missile skills. The whole "racial" combat platform of drones + blasters sounds good in your head maybe, but doesn't make sense from a gameplay standpoint. Blaster boats have to be point blank and are armor tanked, so are slow to get into range and do their damage. Drone - focused boats aren't practical in PvP unless you are a suicide PVP player, because of drone recall times in GTFO situations. You've taken one of the most offensive ships in the Gallente frigate fleet and crippled it.
In addition, you've now set up a good number of Gallente T2 frigates to be suboptimal straight off of the T1 frigates. due to a lack of any missile boats. Gallente have always had a harder time due to mixed platform training for weapons (drones, guns, missiles) and now you take away one of the useful cross-train paths. Seriously, think about it.[/quote] +1 CCP. Reduce number of mixed weapons systems; reduce mixed platform training; get rid of missiles on Gallente hulls. Fire that missile loving traitor Jacques Roden!
Seriously, the only decent missile boat (besides the stealth bomber which stands apart like the Tier 3 BC) the Gallente have is the Lachesis - and it only uses three of the five high slots for missiles (which is fail btw). So there's no real progression for missiles anyways. No, the Celestis doesn't count - nobody puts missiles on them.
Finally, the only solution for GTFO situations is that the player has to accept the fact that he's going to be purchasing alot of drones. It's the cost of doing business as a Gallente pilot - along with higher hull prices across the board.

It looks more like the Vexor and Dominix than the Exequror. Since the Gallente get shafted at everything how about making its logistics frigates and combat/logistics frigate? Rep bonus + drone damage bonus? If you do that to the Navitas that would be hot!

Not only purchasing lots of drones but going back to resupply quite often because he can't recall them fast enough. The lack of drone bay is a serious design flaw. |

Let me make sure I understand this change. You're replacing the 10% kinetic damage bonus with a 10% missile velocity bonus and giving it an extra mid. I'd say that chances are the new Kestrel is inferior to the old one despite the extra mid and fittings. What do you say to a 5% ROF bonus over that 5% Damage bonus?
Also, please don't ruin the "Cyno Kessie". I don't have any particular love of the Kestrel for cynoing since I have cyno 5 on all my alts, but it's... history. And I'm sentimental. :)

You know, I really expected the Navitas to be the drone boat. I'm really glad that we're getting a reasonable drone frigate, because it's totally different than the Atron and Incursus. However, this particular incarnation doesn't feel very compelling for some reason. Maybe it's the 40m^3 drone bay? Maybe it's my skepticism of the drone tracking bonus?
Comfort my fears: Have you tested whether this drone tracking speed bonus makes a difference with fast drones shooting fast ships with small hitboxes? What practical DPS difference can I expect when shooting an AB Slasher with a set of Warriors?

This... is interesting. I admit that I was hoping to see all active tank bonuses go to that 10%/level the Incursus got, but I guess shields get the hilariously overpowered ASB and I shouldn't complain. I'm not sure which way I'd leap when presented with the speed of a Condor or a bonused medium ASB. I feel like the sig radius will tip me in favor of an ASB Condor though.
I expect that the two drones is actually makes for a DPS advantage over the Condor, but I think I'd still prefer to see them moved into a high + launcher.
But hell, I should just be glad you're buffing frigs. And even if they go live as you put here, I'm still enjoying the hell out of the Executioner. I'm sure I'll find a reason to like these guys. :)

hhhmmmmm,
I always thought a Destroyer hull would make a better light logistics ship. Firgates don't have enough slots and a far too flimsy with weak sensor strengths and poor tageting range to fill this role. A destroyer hull would fill it better and we need more destroyer huls with roles!
I think you're missing a trick by not giving Gallente a T1 Missile frigate and making the Navitas a drone boat..
The way I imagined the T1 frigate line up accross all races was something like this:
A Kite Missile boat **Bombardment** (Inquisitor / Kestral / Tristan / Breacher) An EWAR boat (Crucifier / Griffin / Maulus / Vigil) An Interceptor (Executioner / Condor / Atron / Slasher) An Explorer or Scout (Magnate / Heron / Imicus / Probe)
Two Combat boats (High DPS and Tank) with racial flare Punisher - Lasers Tormentor - Lasers + Drones Merlin - Hybrids Bantam - Missiles Navitas - Drones Incursus - Hybrids Rifter - Projectiles Burst - Jack of all trades (Projectiles and Missiles with some Drones)

I would very much like an answer to this as well. I seem to remember either CCP Ytterbium or someone else saying ship rebalance will be done in small steps using small groups to keep things reasonable. Now it looks like it'll be a 4-month break with no changes, and one huge mega-dump (albeit tested on SiSi) in Winter, including frigates, destroyers and possibly even come cruisers?
What changed between last iteration and now?
Quote:To be fair, it doesn't take months to come up with the changes currently suggested. With this pace it's gonna take until 2020 before all ships have been looked at.
This too. Most of us expected drastic, sweeping changes. But so far, it's just weaking same old paradigms. And while adding things like frigate and destroyer size drone boats is very welcome, it shouldn't take all that long. It's not like new modules or new hulls are being added - it's same old mush with different numbers.
Also nothing major is being changed. I had hoped for a major drone boat overhaul, for example. Abandoning the tired and broken (ever since subcaps got a 5-drone limit) mechanics of split weapon systems (hybrids and drones in roughly 50/50 ratio). But it seems all we're getting is a mini-Vexor, which is really nothing new, it just has to be scaled down.

To even touch this ship now you have to train a month of missile skills that have no bearing whatsoever to any other gallente frigate.
actually "gallente training" for subcapital t1 is "rather" easy with blaster(hybrids)/ drones and armor tank. imagine training a minmatar character; you need projectiles, missiles, drones, armor & shield tank. i do not see anything wrong when the combat philosophy of a race gets a bit more pronounced. this way you stop making every race the same. just because there is one t1 gallente frig which uses light missiles and maybe rockets, why should you train every missile related skill? i like the philosophy of having the gallente frigs more hybrid and drone focusses and less using "foreign" weapons. this way you see, whats this race is all about and when moving past t1 and start specialising into t2 or broadening into other races you always can start training for the other toys. it may be a contestable opinion, but when specialising for a t2 ship, i find it acceptable to train for a "specialised" weapon type.
the main idea behind the bombers was not making them torpedo spitting missile boats, but have a platform for deploying bombs, which do not have much in common with missiles. it would be rather cool if only the caldari bomber would use torps and the other bombers would use large lasers/projectiles/ blasters.. heavily modified to make them only viable when shooting larger targets. like a penalty on signature radius.

It's about nostalgia and history, not about having an effective cyno frigate.

The funny thing about that is that the current bombers are modified in favor of having BETTER damage application (but not raw DPS) than battleships. And you're suggesting making the turret ones significantly worse? Heh.

The ships are already borderline OP with a laser cap bonus. I think giving them other bonuses might just push them all the way over. But yeah - let's see what the devs say.

But I'm sure you'll be telling me that statistics don't mean anything while your opinion and anecdotes do.

So five tristans walked into a minor... And each dropped a sentry. That would be comedy gold to do at least one time. |
