qwijJibow Caldari The Unpodable Supermen	Posted - 2011.02.14 20:26:00 - [31] Originally by: Koniss comparing HAC meant to snipe and close range HAC (like the deimos) is also a bad thing. so you would prefer i look at the ishtar instead? it only has 3 gun slots... but if fit like the discription one would use sentries at long range... want me also to bring up that data? and then comment on the short commings of drones? you cant even talk about alpha when it comes to drones cuss they dont fire at the same time... but hell lets try this one out... one bouncer II with max skills on a ishtar does 50*6.3= 315 alpha now lets add 4 more sentries and you get an impresive 1575 alpha and about 394 dps lets just say for some reason you want to put on 250's with 3 mag stabs... that gives you 396 alpha and 113 dps... now lets add it all together and you get 1971 aplha and a total of 506 dps... dont get me wrong this looks all nice on paper... but remember the sentries dont move... so you have to stay in one position the entire time you are shooting... when you are in a fleet you are constantly moving around and having to align so using sentries is not as usefull as one might think... When we compare the turret based hacs it becomes clear how bad hybrids really are... even on paper they dont seem to be that great... they are even worse in in game testing... Remember you hell is someone elses heaven...
qwijJibow Caldari The Unpodable Supermen	Posted - 2011.02.14 20:33:00 - [32] Originally by: Koniss again you are comparing tachs to 425 rails and that is wrong. still rails do more dps than arty even if the ship hull have a weaker bonus rof vs dmg(and that is more of a ship problen rather than the weapon). if you fit AC on ship with damage bonus for hybrid no wonder you have problem at this game cause you are just doing it wrong since you probably dont realize that 152dps (852-700 =/= 122) over the 700 of the mael its a good 20% more damage and the blaster hype outdamage the AC meal up to 20km wich is plenty of range for a blaster boat if anything its wrong is that scorch is terribly OP compared to both AC and blasters why is comparing the largest of each weapon type wrong? the 20% extra damage that the hype gets over the mael does not make up for the fact that the closer you get the more tracking you need and that the hype is restricted to only two damage types... something the mael is not... try doing the calculations using tracking mods and see how much better the meal is then the hype... its just plain silly... though we do agree on one point... scorch is way op.... Remember you hell is someone elses heaven...

Remember you hell is someone elses heaven...

U THINK WE CAN'T EFT WARRIOR STATS TOO?

(something is wrong here) hint: blaster benefit from TE/TC as well as ACS (shield hype) edit: as i said in other post im not again a hybrid boost but what you are asking in your first post is totally nosense. blasters could use a dps boost but only if they get also a range reduction because they already outdamage AC to ranges that meake them well worth the choice. rails yes they could use a dps boost but no big things.
freshspree	Posted - 2011.02.14 20:55:00 - [37] Originally by: Koniss Edited by: Koniss on 14/02/2011 20:26:51 Originally by: qwijJibow Originally by: Koniss the ships have different bonus no wonder the tempest with 2 damage bonus do more damage than a ship with 1 single damage bonus. point stay rail per se do more dps than arty. also who use sniper BS anymore? just use blaster sigh... ok lets look at the mael vrs abby, vrs hype... a rail might do more dps then an arty on a ship that does not get any bonuses to guns... Just use blasters?!?!?!?! atm i put autos on my ships instead of blasters... but just for Sh@ts lets look at these ships... hell i will even chuck in a rokh just to be nice... and switch over to close range ammo... 1. abbadon tachion close: 753 dps 5180 alpha 33 optiaml 25 falloff 0.0174 tracking 2. abbadon mega pulse with scorch: 730 dps 3165 alpha 45 optimal 10 falloff 0.03164 tracking 3. mael arty close: 593 dps 9828 alpha 30 optimal 44 falloff 0.01125 tracking 4. mael auto with barrage: 700 dps 2275 alpha 6 optimal 36 falloff 0.0405 tracking 5. hype rail close: 601 dps (you are correct a whole 8 more dps makes up for it right?) 3165 alpha 36 optimal 30 falloff 0.01203 tracking 6. hype blaster null: 852 dps 3693 alpha 11 optimal 16 falloff 0.04059 (i am sure that the 0.00009 extra tracking and 122 dps makes up for the complete lack of optimal/falloff right?) 7. rokh rail close: 481 dps 2532 alpha 54 optimal 30 falloff 0.01203 tracking 8. rokh blaster null: 681 dps 2954 alpha 17 optimal 16 falloff 0.04059 tracking now lets see a myrm with one rail one beam and one arty and compare... one rail no mag stabs... does 27 dps 125 alpha one beam no heat sinks... does 32 dps 137 alpha one arty no gyros... does 25 dps 363 alpha... so you are correct a rail does a impressive 2 more dps wich means around 7.5% more dps then arties but does that make up for the 65% bonus that beams get over rails? or how about the fact that beams do 16% more dps and 9% more alpha then rails... does the small range bonus that rails get really make up for all the shortcommings that rails suffer from? imo no... not even close... but really when we compare guns we have to look not just at the weapons themselves but also the ships we are placing them on... to get a fair comparison... again you are comparing tachs to 425 rails and that is wrong. still rails do more dps than arty even if the ship hull have a weaker bonus rof vs dmg(and that is more of a ship problen rather than the weapon). if you fit AC on ship with damage bonus for hybrid no wonder you have problem at this game cause you are just doing it wrong since you probably dont realize that 152dps (852-700 =/= 122) over the 700 of the mael its a good 20% more damage and the blaster hype outdamage the AC meal up to 20km wich is plenty of range for a blaster boat if anything its wrong is that scorch is terribly OP compared to both AC and blasters They consume more cap than any other weapon. You think of that?

(something is wrong here) hint: blaster benefit from TE/TC as well as ACS (shield hype) so because tachions have a crazy fittings they are not in the same level as 425's and 1400's? 1400's still kill them in alpha.... so not tha convincing of an argument.... infact you prove that rails suck in comparion the falloff boost that you get from autos when using a te is much better then you get when using blasters... i was using the tech II ammo to try to get blasters out as far as possible and even then they are still rather close range... but even still a mael can switch its ammo to any damage type it wants... a hype cant do that... Ever tried getting close in a armor tanked hype with a mwd and full rack of nuetrons? the ship is slow as hell is manouvers like a whale... pretty much the mael will have the ability to keep range and will kill the hype... if blasters are supposed to perform awesome at 20km and less then increase thier tracking to a level that will allow them to opertate at this range... Remember you hell is someone elses heaven...

You think of that? cap boosters? actually only on the abbadon does lazors take more cap... on the geddon and apox lazors ruffly use the same cap as hybrids... but yeah cap boosters help...

EnslaverOfMinmatar Amarr Viziam	Posted - 2011.02.14 22:13:00 - [41] Originally by: Skex Relbore Originally by: knobber Jobbler Originally by: EnslaverOfMinmatar Hybrids are balanced out by drones. You're wrong and a bad troll. You don't fly Gallente or Caldari ships by the sounds of it, or haven't even looked at them. Drone boats have drone bonuses or stats to reflect that they are drone boats i.e. larger drone bay. No drone boat has hybrid bonuses and vice versa. Some of the Caldari line up are hybrid ships but have the smallest drone bays possible for there ship class. Hybrids as a weapon system need a revision. Overall they are the worst system when actually used in the field. Its not just they are bad, in some circumstances they are utterly outclassed when they should be pretty good. Even though the person you are replying to is an idiot, You are wrong about no drone boat having weapon bonus's. In fact the only Gallente drone platform that doesn't have a weapon bonus is the Myrmidon. That said Hybrids do need some love. Personally I'd like to see an increase to tracking, A reduction in ammo loading time and some adjustments to the ammo choices themselves so there was a reason to load something other than anti-mater.

freshspree	Posted - 2011.02.14 22:37:00 - [42] Same to you Oh and if someone is going to 'fix' Caldari hybrid ships, don't forget to remove shield resistances so that they won't accidentally get a 3rd/5th bonus ERR... what planet did you come from? It's the optimal range bonus to hybrids that need to be changed for a dmg bonus as far as caldari ships are concerned. The shield resist bonus is just as good as a repair amount bonus.

Otto Schultzky Gallente	Posted - 2011.02.15 01:21:00 - [44] The problem is that straight buff to hybrid system makes it to much like other turret weapon systems. The only 2 hybrid turrets that are completely useless in my opinion are the dual 150mm and dual 250mm variants, for obvious reasons. Every thing else is juts weak and sub-standard from range/damage standpoint The more sensible option was proposed a wile back, at Assembly Hall topic by one of the CSM members. By giving more variety to hybrid ammo instead of being a ammo based derivative of a laser crystals. Basics of the proposal were giving a Rate of Fire and changing cap usage modifier of all hybrid ammo that way the DPS and Alpha damage could be varied depending on ammo type. Along with size reduction of charges, splitting ammo in 3 range groups and other tweaks to hybrid weapons. The range split would balance Gallente/Caldari(damage/range) bonus. Problem is that by monkeying with hybrids would affect a rather large number of ships and that might cause other people to cry foul too. I am not expecting miracles from ___.
Altaica Amur Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters Important Internet Spaceship League	Posted - 2011.02.15 06:15:00 - [45] Quote: again you are comparing tachs to 425 rails and that is wrong. still rails do more dps than arty even if the ship hull have a weaker bonus rof vs dmg(and that is more of a ship problen rather than the weapon). if you fit AC on ship with damage bonus for hybrid no wonder you have problem at this game cause you are just doing it wrong since you probably dont realize that 152dps (852-700 =/= 122) over the 700 of the mael its a good 20% more damage and the blaster hype outdamage the AC meal up to 20km wich is plenty of range for a blaster boat if anything its wrong is that scorch is terribly OP compared to both AC and blasters 1. Comparing things to Tachs isn't wrong, they're in the game, they can be fit, they can be kept capped up for a reasonable amoutn of time, it's difficult but not impossible and often easily worth it for the damage and range advantage they confer, if it's so unfair to compare anything to tachs then perhaps they should be removed from the game, until then people can and will make the comparison and be right in doing so. 2. How nice of you to act like a 1.3% advantage in damage makes up for 310% advantage arty has in alpha these do not make up for one and other as one is a signifigant and exploitable advantage which you can configure a fleet doctrine around ( see alphafleet ) the other is a marginal at best advantage that's outdone by a 3rd weapon's platform anyways ( lasers ). 3. Blasters, nice up close but you have to get there, we all know this and we all know the issues with getting primarily armor tanked ships up that close. While you're correct in asserting a 20% damage advantage over the auto-mael the auto-mael pays little for this ( no cap ) and gets 50% more range out of it's weapon. This says nothing of issues with blasters against laser boats which will most often be able to do enough damage to the blaster boat that by the time the blasters gain the damage advantage the fight is already decided against them. Quote: the sniper ishtar have only 1 downside that might lose its drones. but it totally smashes the crap out of the zealot in the dps department. if you compare turrets HAC what comes out its not that hybrid are bad but the fact there isn a ship designed to fight @100km with hybrids because the eagle its meant for extra long range sniping (not that ueful) and gallente dont have a turret sniping HAC While what you say is true that the hacs don't speak particularily well to issues with rails due to the horrible mismatch of ships designed for rails vs the munin and zealot rails do remain quite horrible. For HACs though the fact that the eagle isn't competitive amount sniper-hacs speaks volumes about issues with t2 ammo leaving massive unfilled voids between their close range types and long range types that leave the entire caldari railship line sucking a lot of wind. Quote: tachyon are a oversized weapon (see fittings) so the dont compare fairly to standard weapons, they are a niche only amarr have and maybe you wanna whine about that. the fact that blaster have shorter range where tracking matters more dosent change the things that in the range of blaster nothing can outdamage them, because if blaster have tracking problem in the 0-20km the other weapons system will have even more problems you speaking about null an barrage then you come out with damage selection? (something is wrong here) hint: blaster benefit from TE/TC as well as ACS (shield hype) Then join us in supporting a proposal to introduce new oversized rails and arty to the game that do more dps and more alpha but have rough fittings. If not stop whining that people are comparing their best weapon system to your best, as bad as tachs are to fit plenty of people still manage.
