It's kinda simple
These new *bc's* need to be nerfed and brought into line with the old bc's, it is rediculous that a bc can take down a full t2 fitted bs, or a hac, or a recon ship
Drakes and Hurricanes in particular.
They need to be nerfed

Anything can kill anything. It's been a "fact of life" in this game for the past eight years.
It depends on how well you pilot your ship. -----

So a drake, should be able to, your saying
Take on a curse/harbinger/crow/blackbird and a zeolot and still walk away smiling?
You think thats fair? The fact it can tank itself so stupid that it can actually fit gank mods and kill u before u break the STUPIDLY hard tank on a BATTLE CRUISER?

This is very true 6 month players can kill 7 year old players - crazy but true...its not about skillpoints it really is about what ship you got and what you are up against.
But yeah everyone knows drakes are so overpowered thats why they are the most popular ship, but they still die quickly if a gang hits you. More people whine CCP will eventually nerf it, like the pilgrim, like the vaga, like nano ships
Then as normal it will be tossed on the useless heap never to be seen again, like so many before it...
Personally i think the whole skills/competency/what you can fly should be looked at..
I think it should be tied in with your certificates...I dont think i 3 month noob should be able to fly say a T3 ship. Buts thats me..

We have a breaking news story, Capsuleer "Kitty Cantblock" appears to have lost something shiney to a battlecruiser, and is extremely butthurt, expecting CCP to change the game to her own whims. No one from CCP was around to comment on this development, but if they were, we are sure they would be laughing at the newb. Back to you in the studio Ron.

No, we saying that you are one of the pilots in the gang of curse/harbinger/crow/blackbird and zeolot who lost his ship to an BC and did not manage to kill it and now come the forum and whine because your gang was incompetent.

Long:
We don't skill up Levels. We skill the Ability to use Game Mechanics.
Being able to easily kill a lvl32 as a lvl85 doesn't automagically mean that a t2 fitted BattleShip will kill a battlecruiser, or even a frigate.
Also, you're ignoring the following:
.) You probably had a bad fit for the situation at hand. .) He knows how to fit and has a fit for the particular situation at hand. .) He knows your weaknesses and the damage-potential you've got. .) He knows you're a noob.
People who know the game better than you ... ... simply always _will_ outsmart you.
It's not about the ship, it's about the pilot.
TL;DR ... for the mentally challenged -> YOU CAN'T FLY ****, STFU !!11

well lets start that the blackbird will jam the drake the majority of the time, that isnt really a good start. Now the crow wont add that much, and the curse in a short battle only drone dps, but considering a harbinger and a drake arent that far apart for 1v1 fight + the drake is jammed the majority of the time there is no way the drake can win.

beacuse they are all faster than the drake, all do dps at range, have ecm support and 30 secs into the fight the drake will no longer be able to scramble anything or run hardeners/mwd thanks to neuting. Best chance the drake has is to deagress and escape or try to take the bb with him between jam cycles.
Of course if the gang are idiots and the drake pilot a pro things will be different, but thats not because the drake is op. Any other bc could kill them in those circumstances.
The drake is only so popular because its very hard to fly badly (no tracking, no active tank, no cap management, no range issues, massive buffer) and very easy to skill for.

If the harbinger was using (5) arties and had a cloak/drone aug fitted and no damage mods (along with dual reps and 800mm plate) and the curse had only 2 neuts so it could fit launchers and the bb had no tank whatsoever, then yeah it would go badly (couldn't find any crow/zealot losses by ops corp so don't know how they fit them). It would be especially bad if they didn't actually all fight the drake at the same time.

I believe it wasn't about a fleet anyway.
I believe the list of ships was meant for solo-fights.
Also ... BlackBird won't like a FoF-fitted Drake ... ... but i'm not into missiles anyway.
Seriously, ppl ... it always depends on the pilot and the situations he chooses to experience ... ... or gets chosen to experience.
Playing the game includes equipping for the task at hand !
Argueing about "this owns that" and "which owns what" is nonsense.
Just like the Drake isn't OP, the Dramiel isn't OP and whatever else isn't OP just because ppl can't counter them.

All the BCs besides the Drake are fine. They are supposed to be miniature battleships. Their niche is to hit hard and tank well but still have a decent speed.
The Drake is a bit overpowered though. Almost every scenario you can name, the drake will be the best for. The drake is also too easy to train for. You can get a decent fit for a drake in 14 days. To get a decent fit for the other BCs you have to train more.
But if you have to train more wouldn't the other BCs be superior? Nope! Drake has the best tank , It his cap stable and with missiles you will will hit your target no matter what. It also has the ability to hit at nearly 100km making things start to get ridiculous.

The fact is also that if it has that kind of "stupidly hard tank", it is trivial to escape from, and it won't actually kill anything.

None of that is ridiculous unless you're working on some kind of "bigger is better" assumption (where "bigger" might be replaced by "more advanced" or "more expensive"). EVE doesn't work that way.

Yeah the OP is right in that the Drake is overdue for a hit with the nerfbat. It will come - far too many peeps flying them atm.
Yeah the OP is wrong in that of course a well fitted and flown PvP fitted BC can out-gun and out-tank a (for example) PvE fitted BS.
That's just how it is. Scissors, paper, stone...

You think they're bad right now? Try looking back to when they were first introduced.
The Myrmidon had 125 m/bit drone bandwidth. The Hurricane had 7 turret slots. The Harbinger had 8 turret slots. The Drake had even more passive shield regen that it does now (I think it's currently HALF of what it used to be). _______________________

I suspect what happened here is you had an poor blackbird pilot and a harbinger that wasn't tanked fitted. You guys thought you could gank it but were surprised when its large buffer/passive tank lasted long enough for it to kill either the zealot or the harbinger. With one of two DPS ships down you didn't have the DPS to kill its tank and the remaining DPS ship didn't have that much of a tank either. So it simply took the rest of you down one by one.

OP presented his argument very poorly, but his basic point is on the money -- the Drake is overpowered, and has been for some time. It has absurd range and tank and is still quite fast because its tank does not slow it down, and it has enough damage that it will kill other BC's before they can come close to chewing through its massive tank.
There will obviously be tons of people frothing at the mouth about how the Drake is balanced, but its the most flown combat ship for a reason.

Draw, as in the pathetic DPS of the Drake can't break the decent tank of the others, and the nice DPS of the others can't break the amazing tank of the Drake.
Accept the Blackbird. It likely wouldn't win if the Drake was for some odd reason fitted with FOF.

They were new a while ago. If anything, the old BCs should be made more like the new; the Ferox looks too cool to be so apparently bad.
Did a hurricane kill your Cerberus or something?
Because the Cerberus is unable to fit anything remotely resembling a tank if you want any DPS coming out of it.

These new *bc's* need to be nerfed and brought into line with the old bc's, it is rediculous that a bc can take down a full t2 fitted bs, or a hac, or a recon ship
Drakes and Hurricanes in particular.
They need to be nerfed

Care in posting your fits for a good laugh?

Originally by: Hermann Fegelein All the BCs besides the Drake are fine. They are supposed to be miniature battleships. Their niche is to hit hard and tank well but still have a decent speed.
The Drake is a bit overpowered though. Almost every scenario you can name, the drake will be the best for. The drake is also too easy to train for. You can get a decent fit for a drake in 14 days. To get a decent fit for the other BCs you have to train more.
But if you have to train more wouldn't the other BCs be superior? Nope! Drake has the best tank , It his cap stable and with missiles you will will hit your target no matter what. It also has the ability to hit at nearly 100km making things start to get ridiculous.
I solo lvl4 Missions easy in a drake, kinda makes me wonder, PVP I'd rather solo a Drake than a Cane tho, nomatter what I'm flying.

One can't nerf the Drake.
It's the easy-mode "I AM INVINCIBLE!!!!11" testosterone-producing ship for noobs.
Even if CCP nerfed it, they'd need a replacement then.
It has hell of a tank, which is easy to handle. It can use only missiles, which are pretty easy to handle. It impresses even noobier noobs, "wow you can tank THAT???? O_O".
Whole ship screams Testosterone. I AM GREAT !!!!111111111 It's the "GODMODE"-ship for those who need to be breastfed (ingame).
They'll learn it better, but the feeling usually comes back ... You all know, what i'm talking about.
Your first mining barge ... your first t2 fitting ... ... first pirate frigate ... your first battlecruiser (^^) ... ... your first t2 ship ... your first battleship ...
... etc.
Some, maybe even many (no. lol), maybe even finally realized bigger ain't better.
Drake is a ****ing noobship, helping noobs do plenty of **** they couldn't do otherwise because they don't have a clue.
One can't nerf the drake.
Remove it from the game altogether !
Also ... Troll. (5/10, tbh) Should have noticed earlier.

Confirming that simply being in a tech 2 ship should mean you win any fight simply because the other party is flying a Drake or Hurricane, regardless of player skills and fitting.

there is nothing special about the drake, the reason it seems OP is the passive shield tank. that should be nerfed.
imho: make all modules used in passive shield tank properly stacking penalized and reduce passive shield regen rate ...

I rather think the drake and cane are fine.
It's just that there is too many lacklustre or downright useless ships that need a *buff* instead.

I think there is an Eve card game where a no talent BS would probably beat out a BC, maybe try that game out?

This isn't WoW, there is no level XXX, there is no sword of a thousand truths.
The drake is not the most popular ship for the record. . Adapt and overcome or become a monkey on an evolution poster.

I have a better suggestion.
Nerf idiots, it'll also fix the Drake imbalance and most other ships imbalances as well.

Lmfao man. The drake isn't overpowered, you guys just suck. You guys are a massive carebear alliance that got decced and is mad cause you fought back with superior ships, and have absolutely no clue how to use them, so you died. |

I personally hate Drakes - if I never fly one again then it will be too soon. Still, claiming they are OP is plain silly. A standard 2x LSE 3x BCU Drake will get ****d by a Hurricane hands down (at least if the Drake is closer then 20-30km which should be the case because otherwise he or the Hurricane can simply warp off).
Drakes are too slow to be able to chase anything fast, the tank is too weak to last against any "real" ship with a tank, the damage is pretty low and 99% extremely predictable damage type (kin) and a Drake will have a hard time to kill tacklers fast enough due to missiles and extreme lack of tackle (and/or bad tank if you do opt for tackle).
Bottom line: it's just a crappy t1 BC with all the limitations. The only reason why it's flown so much is because 95% of all alliances opt for large numbers and not for good quality/skill. For that kind of mentality Drakes are perfect... but as soon as a decent alliance turns up your silly Drake blobs will die in a fire real quick.
Basically if you think a Drake is OP then you're a scrub.

By god, we should nerf them so that cost again directly correlates to power.
Which, if you're completely thick, means my opinion is: 1. A T2 fitted BS whose pilot died to a BC deserved it for being an idiot. 2. A HAC that died to a BC probably wasn't well-fit or well-flown. 3. Recon ships aren't fighting ships, and shouldn't win against a BC anyway.
