GÇóDrake:
once again, blame the modules, not the hull GÇô while missiles are being looked into by CCP Fozzie, shield tanking is the root of the problem here.
The tank on this thing of course is not going to be affected by the HML change.... question is should CCP nerf the Drakes tank or buff all the other BC tanks
I perfer BUFFs over NERFS every day TBH
Honestly i dont get why they are trying to nerf any of the T1 BCs, Drakes, myrms, Harbs, hurricanes are all relatively balanced to begin with, Maybe the drake has too much shield tanking ability with it being capable to run lvl 4s missions but its DPS horribly sucks in compairison to other BC's which should make up for its buff on tank. All of the base line battlecrusers massively suck except the cyclone which suprisingly is doing alot better. If anything they should be the target of the rebalancing and targeting T3 crusers with there ability to everything better than anything. Base line battlecrusers should be tough as hell while the Tier 2 battlecrusers should be the primary grunt pvp ship while Tier 3s are the speed tanked dps boats.... this slot number change is also very disturbing, why take away fromt the slot count? that nerfs all of them riddiculously and takes away from versitility... plus anyone who thinks they should shield tank a harb for solo pvp is a moron i can see the lack of tank being kinda disturbing going in a shield fleet but its an amarr ship and thats the price you pay to go all gank. i agree with giving a buff instead of nerf, like quoted above but if anything buff the hell outta command ships while leaving the standard battlecrusers for the most part alone except minor tweaks... my opinon of course but pretty sure there is alot of people who get conforable flying a certain way then CCP comes out completely wrecks hell on it... The nerfs are getting old, instead of limiting our options why not expand them with more ships modules or maybe go into making T3 battlecrusers or more T2 battlecruser instead of messing with something that isnt broken.
i disagre about the drake DPS.
it as a bit too much tank, taht's right.
it's DPS is slightly less on paper, BUT it can apply it more efficiently.
this, combined to the HM and HAM upgrade incoming will solve the DPS side of the equation.
only it's tank shall then be balanced to align it to the others BC (wether it's tank is nerfed or the other BC tank is buffed doesn't matter to me, just balance it).
also, fix the drones.
why shall my dps die to sentrys? either make the sentry ignore drones, or make them also damage the weapons of other ships, balance it, drone boat are almost of no use in lowsec because of this stupid game mechanic
