So where does this leave the Phantasm, the Navy Exequoror, and the Vigilant? One might be slightly less terrible, one is still awful, untouched forgotten, and one doesn't even have a 4th mid as a feature for its hull, only the web bonus, when it is already the most expensive pirate cruiser (why IDK).
I hope that arty fitting buff is because the cane's getting an out-of-step PG nerf. Because AFAIK projectiles don't need any buffing. |

https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1936476#post1936476Quote:I'll start off with the orphan announcement. In the Attack Cruiser thread we also announced changes to medium gun fittings. We're going to be changing the hurricane at the same time but I wanted that thread to stay dedicated to the specific cruiser balance instead of getting derailed so we're moving that here. Since we planning to reduce the powergrid needs of all medium artillery by 10% across the board, we are also planning to subtract 225 PG from the Hurricane, leaving it with a base powergrid of 1125. The upshot is that fitting a full rack of 720s with a MWD and LSE and full mids and lows will require a RCUII and either an ACR or PG implant. Also fitting a standard shield autocane with neuts and LSE will require dropping a few guns down to 220mm. The hurricane will likely receive significantly more changes when we get to battlecruisers in the balance pass, but this is designed as a compensation for the drop in Arty PG and to help alleviate the problem of Arty ships having so much free PG when they use autocannons. Hopefully first & last cross-mentioning of this then as per Fozzie's desire. |

All you will see on that omen is ecm-300s and sniperish high dps ship While I agree with the concern about drones everywhere, you imply ec-300s & ECM will survive winter. |

Everything looks good here except for this fascination CCP seems to have with giving gallente ships more structure. Sure it's "racial," but nobody gives a **** about structure tanking because there really is no such thing outside of comedy fits. If you want to change the defense on the ship, just remove more of the structure and leave the shields/armor. Seriously, these things are already very thin as it is, so reducing the shields and armor like you have here just does not make sense. I imagine it's to deter people from fitting nanos vs overdrives (think 'ranis) and also to give you some more EHP/time to cycle reps without buffing buffer tanks. |

Because, let's face it, none of these ships are going to armor tank with the exception of the Omen. Er you forgot to put an actual shield tank on your shield-tanked ship. |
