Ok Ginger, how bout this :

The one thing I heard years ago that I though was crap until I actually got there was like this: got in a head-to head with another Drake, HAM fits on both, but he had BC 5 and a few other L5 skills, and I didn't. I lost. Handily. Asked him what the trick was, and he said "BC 5". Seems simple enough, but people need to realize that just because you can climb into that Drake or Raven, it doesn't mean you can fly it.
Been training up an entry-level Minnie toon to take into FW, and I've approaching 6m SPs with frigate and dessie specialization, and I think I'm almost ready to use this toon. Yes, she's been training for a few months. T2 fits, Nanite skills for repairing, T2 hulls on frigate and dessie (soon to be Cruiser), and I'm almost ready for this toon to start playing. Learn to fly what you're crawling into, and the "nerf" or "buff" screams from the Easy Buttoneers won't matter.
Clearly YOU are an eve authority. Popular ships just get popular in a vacuum. It must be the BEAUTY of it. It couldn't have something to do with a TANK that is better than the other ships in its class. Or the 70km RANGE with more dps than the other BCs at that range (pre-tier 3).
No you are right it's because people are BUTTHURT about dying to drakes. And of course NOONE but drake pilots train BC5. Your anecdote is so illustrative of why people lose fights.
Anyway, all this wringing of hands, gnashing ot teeth, pulling of hair, will not change the situation. Your op BC will no longer be king of the hill. And the Cane got a harsh nerf but nowhere near the amount of whining on the forums as you drake addicts. So adapt to a more even playing field.
When the tier 2s first came out everyone wanted a Myrm. In no time at all it was nerfed heavily from 125m3 bandwidth to 75m3. Then followed 3-4 years of Drake and Cane dominance, and on eve-kill drake was regularly #1 by a multiple of whatever was second place. But, if you turn out to be correct, which I highly doubt, you won't have to wait 3 to 4 years for an adjustment. |
