Edited by: Larla Rosethorn on 10/07/2011 21:06:10 archon: can fit local rep + 4 remote and sustain either while having over 72% armor resists thanatos: same with 70% resist nidhoggur: can not fit 4 remote + local armor with comparable resists or cap. cannot fit more than 2 remote + local shield
basically nid is equivalent to missing a slot in an armor fleet, completely useless in a shield fleet and even with rep bonus it is worse than either one of the other caps. Either the remote rep bonus needs to go up to 7.5% or it needs a 15% PG boost to be anywhere near on par with other carriers.

If you're using PDU's on a niddy, you're doing it wrong. Should be using CPR's instead (for triage atleast). In any case I do agree it's a bit short on PG. None of the carriers can perma-run more than 2 reps and the niddy is no exception. In fact it's really not that different all things considered once you factor in cap recharge/slot layout. But it should have the option of fitting a 3rd rep for burst usage (or splitting with 2x armor and 1 shield or whatever) like the other carriers have.
CPU is another problem but that comes up with any shield tanked carrier. The niddy, thanny and chimera cannot fit a typical style shield tank with 2-3x shield xfers. Either all three need a major CPU increase or the CPU requirements on shield xfers and capital shield boosters need to be greatly reduced. Probably a combination of the two, invulns really eat into CPU as do shield boost amps.

hate to tell you this broski but the chimera has CPU issues as well...wait a min, don't they have something in common? oh yeah! they both shield tank!
last time i checked most active shield tanks do have cpu problems. but i do agree, the minmatar caps do need a little love. until then? train for a archon

Minmatar carriers are too weak and cannot properly use their bonuses without suicide fittings. Archon is better triage repper for gawds sake which is just retarted.

so what?? Matars carrier is not that good. SO?? Except that minmatar are the best for everything else right in the moment they are FOTM, so please stop complaining just because they arent the best IN EVERYTHING!

Stop eating mushrooms. Racial balance is irrelevant. Only thing that matters is balance within category and weapon type balance.

Its a shield boat made to rep an armor fleet. Its better then the other armor armor boats because you can tank more with shields and you have all the extra power grid for more Armor RR. I don't know where your having issues fitting more then 2 reps. I have a fit fitting with more then that. ----------- Born Amarr, Raised Minmatar.

That actually sums up my experience with it, the most effective way to remote armor rep is if you're shield tanked and you're better off with an armor tank to rep shields. But that poses all sorts of problems if you have multiple carriers or are trying to use ganglinks. It is a little broken. Not as broken as the chimera but it still needs some fittings love.
As for variety is good, I agree. The archon has 25% more local tank while the niddy RR's 25% better. Or at least that's how it *should* be. In reality that's not really the case since the niddy has to make a lot of fitting sacrifices due to its poor fitting resources and weaker capacitor (less of an issue imho). Ships should be balanced on a class by class basis, not overall by race. I agree that minmatar is a bit FoTM right now but I don't think any of the ships are actually overpowered. It's current player tactics that have made the speed thing appealing. And no, you can't effectively nano a niddy these days. I tried it not too long ago.

Edited by: Larla Rosethorn on 12/07/2011 01:55:25 I think so far the consensus is that Nighoggur sucks quite a bit compared to other carriers and it's not that important that other minmatar ships are FoTM but its more important to have racial balance per ship class. I agree with the latter because once people invested skill points into minmatar they should be able to have a niche they fill in the fleet rather than after training for months and investing significant cash into racial books (360m isk for minnie carrier)they are faced with a rude awakening that their ship is simply inferior to other races and there's nothing they can do about it and there's no way they can be as useful in the fleet as other carriers.
I'd fly an archon but I refuse because it looks atrociously ugly (just my personal opinion). I guess it's time to sink another month and 360m and retrain to Gallente.
P.S. does CCP pay any attention to these threads?

Very large fraction of the community?? You mean some minmatar dudes here in this thread argueing their carrier isnt FOTM like their other ships? Whatever, since when does CCP care about whats going on in this forum? There was much more crying about the anomaly nerf, anything happened? No.

This argument has nothing to do with minmatar being FOTM. They've actually been FOTY for about 2 years.
The case is this:
Gal: drone/fighter/fb damage Amarr: armor tank Caldari: shield tank Minmatar: some f**ked up broke-di** tank options and a supposed repping role.
Both the nid and hel fail in their roles. The hel is crippled, and laughed at as being "half a supercarrier".
The nidhoggur might be great for a burst suicide triage alt, but that's about it. Maybe a remote-energy-x-ferred pos repper?
The hel is my biggest complaint. We've got a supercap nerf ("finished" and awaiting CSM approval/tweaks), but i guaranf**king-tee you there will be no simple attribute changes to the hel. After years, CCP finally gave the mighty naglfar a token boost, but the hel remains as laughable as ever.
It's time to take a fresh look at minmatar carriers, what do they bring to the table and what should be done to increase their usefulness or at least fulfill their specified role properly.
There must, and always will be, a ship in any group that is the worst at x. But it should be effective in at least one respect. Changing a simple variable or line of code could completely revive the use of min caps in warfare; with all this balancing going on, NOW is the time to do it.

Racial balance is irrelevant because it is included automatically if ship types are balanced between themselves. Absolutely no heed should be paid to that nonsense.

Edited by: Wu Phat on 19/07/2011 10:13:30 I have to say Sr. you fail at fitting ships. You do not Shield tank a Nid. If you can't triage in a Nid don't get in one becasue that is what it brings to the table. Awesome reping ability armor or shield. To balance it out because it's rep bonus carry's over to triage mode it has a capacitor recharge & powergride flaw. But it has the most Cap capacity of all 4 carriers.

You want to fly a carrier. Minmatar carrier is not better in any situation than other carriers. You will never train to fly a minmatar carrier. Why is Nidhoggur in the game?

The other option for the nid is to simply increase its rep bonus then PG is unimportant and it could make for some interesting fits with very little tank but a huge amount of reps.
Bonus could be lifted to 7.5% to start and if that wasn't enough up to 10%. I am a big believer making small changes see what happens then make another.
Most ship balancing can be done that way with less load on Dev's and QA, as all it is is changing one number in a spread sheet and let us players try and abuse it. :) Then all they have to do is see if it was too much or to little, but if they are small changes the effect will not have the power to completely disrupt the balance in eve.

I fly both an archon and a niddy. As I've already said, the niddy is workable and I actually like it better as a triage carrier in the small cap fights I usually participate in. But it still needs some adjustments to PG/CPU/cap. Just because I've found a way to make it work doesn't mean it doesn't need a small buff. Really all I ask for is enough CPU to fit 3x shield xfers (instead of 0) while shield tanked and enough PG to fit a 3rd remote armor rep if armor tanked. That's really not asking much. The thanny and chimera also need a CPU buff for the same reason.

Ditto. Also shield tanking is currently completely and utterly nerfed into total obvlivion for caps due to fitting restrictions, slaves, a bunch of other missing implants and rigs.

"nidhoggur: can not fit 4 remote + local armor with comparable resist"
then get a Archon and don't compare two totally different ships. I stopped reading beyond this point so flame on.

What's Nidhoggur good for, genius? The bonus implies it's supposed to be a good triage repper. It's worse than all other carriers at that.
So what is it good at? Enlighten me.

As a nidhoggur pilot I'm all for a boost. I mean already my ship is arguably one of the best remote rep ships in the game, and an all round solid carrier (A++ would train minmatar again) But please do feel free to boost it more

Sorry to disappoint but you picked the worst possible carrier. It's like saying omg my girlfriend is so hot. Then you put her on hotornot.com and she's going to get 4.5. But if you are happy with her more power to you I guess.

minmatar have the best sub-cap t1 ship line there is, they have the best PVP and PVE ships if you don't include the tengu, drake, and golem, they have the dramel, daredevil, mach, hurricane (double damage bonus with two spare highs), have the ability to deal damage as well as or better than anyone else (alpha fleets), they have capless weapons, can do all damage types, their long range ammo gets a tracking bonus, have better tracking than everyone else, a majority of their sub-cap ships have double damage bonuses, sig tank and DPS tank everything else in PVP and you are complaining that the mimatar carrier needs to be even with everyone else when clearly minmatar and faction related sub-caps are OP. minmatar shine with everything sub-cap, stop complaining about minmatar carriers not being OP
