The Tengu whiners should note that they have been thrown a very nice bone in the proposed update:

Change the Guided Missile Precision skill, as well as all associated implants and rigs to affect all subcap missiles
This is a huge boost for damage application with HAMs, and since there isn't anything in any mission that can outrun a Tengu that wants to keep outside HAM range I'd say that the Heavy Missile DPS shift to HAMs is quite fair for mission Tengus (and will allow people to mission effectively in PvP fit ships which is part of the stated goals of all this rebalancing). |

Missile users get the HAM buff to go alongside the HM nerf.
Is switching fits really such a tragedy? |

Seems like the "issues being mentioned" were already addressed.
Maybe not to your satisfaction, but someone is always disappointed. |

It also doesn't show how many of those AC kills are supported by dual medium neuts (a specific fit targeted by the 'cane nerf).
Since this set of changes hits the Dual-neut 425 AC 'cane and the HML Drake pretty much equally, I don't think we are looking at any serious bias here. If anything it might make the Cyclone a more popular choice for PvP. |

Small rails are fantastic.
For exactly the same reason that medium rails are failtastic.
It makes perfect sense to trade damage for range, and the amount of tradeoff works perfectly for small rails, but for medium rails the benefit to having *that much* range (especially on rail-bonused hulls) is small enough that the sacrifice of damage is excessive.
In my opinion the only ships where medium rails make sense at all are the ones with damage bonuses that are traditionally considered "blaster boats".
Their slower speed makes the reach of rails more important, and the damage bonus brings the damage up to a barely acceptable level.
Of course, this is completely off topic for this thread, but after almost 300 pages there isn't anything on topic left to say. |

Now I have to start over focusing on a new 'viable ship' and I am ticked off. If I knew heavy missiles were about to be useless I wouldn't have spent all that time training for them and would have worked on other skills.
Like none of the skills you just trained would be transferrable to something else.
Take 3 weeks, get Caldari BS 4 and Cruise Missile or torpedo 4 and do the same thing in a Raven (which is in many ways better for L4 missions than the Drake and shares all the same fitting skill recommendations).
Or maybe get a Caldari Navy Scorpion and get the shield resist bonus and a full 8 midslots for tank! (Is this the only ship with 8 mids?)
Shifting out of the Drake is hardly a big deal and most of the training time you have to put into doing it properly carries over well to other ships. |

Do you people really think the DEVs actually give a **** what we use? Until a DEV actually states you are suppose to do level 4 missions in a BS your arguments are pointless.
And there won't be, ever.
You can use any ship in the game for whatever you want to, though your results may vary.
I can solo L4 missions in a Drake *right now*. I don't do it because there are better ships for the task.
If you have the skills to solo L4 missions in a Drake you have the skills for a better ship.
Plunk down a couple of hundred Misk to fly one of those ships and it will pay for itself in less time than you've spent complaining about the Drake being nerfed (and even the nerfed Drake should be able to run L4's, the technique and fitting will be a bit different is all). |
