I'm still lost as to how this statement doesn't contradict itself on 2 or 3 levels



Gallente are for raw firepower, has less DPS/applicable dps than Catalyst/others.

Drone projection remains stable at far ranges, uses shortest effective range guns. (50% to small hybrids puts it out to what, 4km instead of 1?)

Gallente race specializes in drones, worse dronebay and same bandwidth as Amarr ship.

I thought that neut/nos bonus was restricted to T2 Amarr ships, it doesn't fit and with how good neuts are now, most probably OP.

Edit: Ooh just noticed the PG on these ships though? 8 light missile launchers and you've used up all the base powergrid? o_O

-Decrease all Light Missile Launcher fitting requirements by 2pg and 4cpu

I'm a new player... I want to like Amarr ships, I really do. But, they're always so indecisive in their design. Here we have 2 secondary weapon systems being thrown at the player again: missiles and drones. Can we pick one please, so that if I roll an Amarr alt, I'll know which to train?

Destroyers are supposed to be the second class of ship the player gets into, correct? Why the wishy-washy design in the weapon slots then? This reminds me of the Arbitrator: is it an ewar ship? a drone boat? And, what am I supposed to do with those highs if I trained lasers? The Vexor, being similar and better doesn't have this ambiguity, it's a drone boat with hybrids as it's secondary weapon; that is easy to see and work with.

Now look at the bonuses, and like the guy said a few posts back, "here we are with projectiles on an Amarr ship again." Also, neuts? With drones and missiles? And, possibly artillery because nothing else would match up... My god, do you even see the schizophrenia in this design? It looks like an ugly ducking you should pick ANY other destroyer over until you have 20 million SP and can equip something useful in every slot.

How about 6H, 5T and a laser cap bonus or something? Want to keep the ewar? Then have a laser OR ewar bonus kick in depending on how many of -type- are equipped in the high slots. Please give it a focus of some kind, I don't care what, as long as it has one.

Note: When you redesigned the Tormentor I was able to understand that ship instantly. 4H, 3T, 2 Drones with good speed and a fairly long targeting range for a frigate. It's a kiting ship, drones + link augmenter and beams.

Then how about this
15% drone damage and HP
10% hybrid tracking
4 turret hard points
Drones 25/60
Role bonus 25% drone mwd speed

It would be a decent compromise

That is like saying to balance ship, take the nerf bat to all minmatar ships. Bad idea.
I'm am not so prideful as to not admit defeat, and I admit that.
This was an interesting debate, and it brought up a lot of points that hopefully will be taken into consideration IF ccp ever decides to give drones and a whole a nice overhaul

Obvious sarcasm is obvious- thank you. FW = awfulbroken

So the drones work good against MWDing ships then? Cause that was/is the problem with drones right? Overshooting, stopping, catching up. Does the MWD speed increase of the drones help make up for how drones work currently?

[quote=Alaster Burleson]Edit: Although it will still be out-classed by the expensive specialized frigates like the Vengeance or Hawk. It seems pretty well-rounded to me but we'll see

And it has to be able to deal with heavy capacitor warfare (we're talking about 3 energy neuts here) and the secondary weapons system, either turrets or launchers.

There's plenty of fast **** that could kill it, but they're all expensive faction or T2 frigates and lots of them will die horribly to it; it might lose to some 100 million ISK frigates, but that doesn't matter you see. The same way it doesn't matter for the current destroyers. It's because of Destroyers' low cost and high performance.

The Amarr dessie is gonna be an efficient killing machine
