As a primarily amarr/ caldari pilot I will comment on the Maller and Moa first, then discuss what I see in the Vexor and Rupture.
Maller.
I'm loving the change to lasers damage and the tank bonus has always been great. The powergrid increase combined with the pwg reduction on medium laser weapons, will make for a very strong fit. I would go on but there is a BIG gaping hole in the ships design, by that I mean its cap. Like the Abaddon this thing is going to drain its cap so fast. I see that you removed a high and only have 3 mids. Originally when using lasers on a Maller you use a nos to help with your cap, because you need a web in order to compete with other ships these days you don't use those mids for cap boosters. The Maller from what I'm seeing is going to be inferior on its own. A solution to this is to give it another mid or high. I'm going to push for another high, because its far more limiting than another mid, and because people will most likely use it for a medium nos it will help limit that massive tank it can have. If the Maller doesn't get the high it could definitely use drones. 20 or 25 bandwidth and dronebay.
I like the direction, but that missing high slot and or drones it is a big crippling point for the ship, almost to the point of uselessness.
Moa
Damage bonus is nice. But the slot layout seems off. 6 4 4. For a shield ship that is too few mids. With blasters as it s primary weapon I would take that extra high, and move it to the mids.
Other than that I like it.
Vexor
Love it. But I think it needs a larger drone bay. Also kinda wish it had some other bonus besides the 5% damage bonus, feels overused. Maybe a hull bonus (joking)....... actually that would be a very novel idea.... would give it more ehp but would limit its armor or shields for reps.... could be a thing.
Rupture
I see one real issue with this ship, its too fast. In eve speed is very powerful and the rupture already boasts a respectable tank, has great dps, has the second largest drone bay out this set, its not cap dependent, and can both armor and shield fit.
It can't have everything.
As a whole I think that this group leaves the most to be desired. The stats for most of these don't support their play style and role. Keep up the good work, I'll be waiting on the updates for this one. |
