Fidelium Mortis wrote:Any thoughts of providing the Maller with a HAM bonus or straight missile bonus? When using the Maller into a brawl, it would be kind of nice to have a cap independent weapon, which also let's you lay down the consistent damage of missiles, and also would lend its self better to optional active tanking builds. Essentially, it would be a lot of fun to have a cheaper version of the Sacrilege. Turret DPS from lasers could be regulated to the Omen.
I think it's great that Amarr ships in general are better at active tanking than Gallente ships (the supposed active armor tanking race).
Any thoughts from CCP of applying a straight armor buffer bonus to Amarr ships instead of an armor resistance bonus?

So how much tank should a 661+ dps T1 cruiser (overheated) have? More than 36k EHP (overheated)? That's the Moa. Quit complaining.  |

You guys are freaking crazy. The Coercer is already "win" and will be "omgwtfpwn" when the new patch hits.
Anyways, back to your discussions.... |

If CCP isn't going to fix that issue then they should stop pretending and give all the ships Shield Layouts.
The proposed Gallente hulls have more midslots but have terrible baseline shield stats. |

Hull has been increased by quite a bit - even though the Hull Tanking Certificate says only fools hull tank. |

Thorax does about a hundred more raw DPS than the Moa using the same class of guns (Heavy Ion Blaster II). Thorax is also faster than the Moa and can, as pointed out, field more than three drones, and can carry a full flight of ECM ones if it wants. So if a Moa pilot wants to be less squishy they have to forego a web. Which then means that they can't web a Thorax back when it comes in to attack them. Instead, the Moa, with it's lack of medslots and comparatively poor DPS due to not having as many drones, gets locked down and likely destroyed in almost any solo fight against Thorax, Vexor and Rupture (and perhaps Maller as well). I'm not even going to get into Moa vs. Attack Cruisers, because they're all even faster than the other combat cruisers (except the Rupture), so a Moa without a web doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell against them in a 1v1 I don't think due to the kite factor.
Without that fifth med slot, the Moa cannot compete with any of the combat cruisers, nor the attack cruisers. Even if you build it as a rail platform, which it looks like CCP is trying to typecast the Moa into being. Which is an awful idea, because that makes it the most overspecialized T1 cruiser, and very comparable to a panda whose bamboo forest just got torched by someone wanting to build a mini-mall.
Moa has same damage bonus as Thorax, so it's going to put out AT LEAST the same amount of damage. Being a shield tank, it will also have 40-45% more EHP than the Thorax. Moa: dps*EHP. Thorax dps + speed.

It's going to be interesting to see if the massive ehp*dps characteristics that make the Merlin semi-OP will translate directly to the Moa since it now has a fifth midslot.

Armor boats being faster is a good idea to balance them, however, they shouldn't be faster than shield boats.
They shouldn't be faster than shield boats IF THEY ARE ADEQUATELY ARMOR TANKED. A "hull tanked" Gallente ship should be FASTER than any Minmatar ship. |

not without a big speed boost it won't
but with advantage of EHP + buffed remote reps (resists bonuses to Moa) it will. so there. |

We'll see where they land. I have a feeling they will land in the OP category just like the Merlin simply because the Caldari pilot testing them out for CCP probably isn't very good (and the Caldari pilots on the test server are under reporting how awesome it really is). |

lol at 50k EHP overheated plus 592 dps (with only two mag stabs). Speed: 210/190 = 10% = 1 overdrive injector, or properly timed mwd overheat. Just sayin'.... I hope the CCP devs take a hard look at the Moa and gets a good pilot to test it out. |

"if they start at 0" ..... Therefore, don't start a fight with a Thorax at zero. Balance achieved. My work here is done. |
