Why do the Gal and Amarr hulls have 1 less fitting point then Cal or Mimmy.

how come the drone damage amps now use the same cpu?

Not really sure why the Gallente hull has hybrid optimal rather than falloff?



also this

Isn't the caldari one just going to kill any frigate instantly within 60km?

I don't really like these. A destroyer with 2 bonuses to its 4 turrets? Drone damage projection is actually really really bad if the target isn't webbed and/or scrambled. They do no damage and they get instapopped.

your incorrect

No, Light missiles are getting a boost to explosive velocity already this patch, and then this ship gets an added boost to hitting small fast targets

And i was wrong, it hits up to 260 dps at 57km w/o rigs/TCs

Ironically, this thing post changes is going to come awfully close to the drake in both dps and range with far less training time

Wait so why do the rest of the destros get two damage bonuses, but the amarr one gets a neut bonus? How does it not completely just replace the crucifier?

Except the drone boats, obv.

No, I've used them constantly, and then they get left at gates, or blown up, or the spend 90% of the fight chasing a frigate that is barely moving but won't drop out of their MWD orbit so they can actually track/shoot the stupid thing.

If drones could produce reliable, delayed DPS like missiles do, they would be much more viable, as is, they are ridiculous.

incorrect all the T2 damage mods use less cpu than the meta 4's which are the only meaningful option as the rest are just crap
but the damage mods are all a mess anyway like 10 different dmg mods and the only useful ones are the T2's

The new minmatar ship is going to be a better missile boat than the caldari one.

CCP removes the single damage bonus on one ship, just to grant it on another ship!
Why not just give that damange bonus for all damage types, like you do it for the minmatar one.

edit: I just compared those two ships together, not all four

I've seen it mentioned several times that Destroyer by definition have to be anti-Frigate vessels and I do have to ask, why?

I mean I'm aware that was the original naval definition of such a vessel, but we're flying now, not sailing. Not to mention that most of EvE's ship classes don't fully match their naval counterparts, only the tier 3 BCs are real battlecruisers in the naval sense. The others would likely be classed as armoured cruisers.

If both Destroyers have exactly the same role, fragile frigate killers, then chances are pretty damn high that of each race one hull will be considered superior and the other will hardly ever be used. They both fill the same role and as such will be measured by the same qualities.

The prime consideration when designing these ships and their role should be the EvE universe, not irrelevant definitions of an entirely different form of warfare.

I don't think you properly understand what's going on here. The Caldari destroyer will have the alpha of a 280mm Arty Thrasher. It will literally volley completely through a quad ASB Merlin's shields every single volley. It will literally volley any attack frigate, every single volley.

It's called FW and minor plexes in lowsec. The current ship restrictions on minor, medium, and to lesser extent major plexes. It gives worth to tech I frigs and destroyers, and tech I cruisers. It's a blast really.

I checked the DPS for Mymridon with maximum skills and no damage/control mods, no implants, using Hammerhead IIs and Heavy Neutron Blaster II with Antimatter charges using EFT.
On paper, the total DPS is 490.6. Blasters contribute 253 of that, Drones 237.6.
I do concede that the only way that total DPS can be achieved is if the Myrm is hugging its target at same time as its drones orbiting said target.

Switching to 250mm Railgun II in order to homogenize the engagement range as the Drone control range require Iridium charges and contribute 95.5 DPS for a total DPS of 333.1

That would up the damage to 314.82 DPS using Gallente drones, making it about 25% more damage from drones vs guns.

No I'm talking about a t1 module fit. With low pilot skills. Not that t2 rockets require more powergrid

What bothers me the most is that CCP is onboard with having 8 instant hitting turrets on as many hulls as possible, and yet acts as if 8 launcher hardpoints would be the equivalent of killing babies for sport. Nerf the bonus if you must, but keep the 8th launcher.
