So now that we're up to battlecruisers do we have an ETA on when faction cruisers stop being worse than their t1 variants?
Oh and the pirate cruisers.
The Phantasm is in a cruel state -- it ALMOST works but not quite, just enough to get us to waste lots of time tyring to find a way. It could be the coolest cruiser in game IMHO however it can't do anything productive except be bait. And bad bait that dies fast. It needs a massive powergrid increase so it can actually manage a good fit without dropping a bil on faction and deadspace modules. Not to mention a spaceship could do with a capacitor bigger than the 470uF the likes of which are used to filter DC on small electronics. What would make it awesome: a bonus to active tanking that let it tank 400dps or so without unreasonable pimping, enough cap that it could do with a single cap booster, room for a med neut with heavy lasers and SPEED. You know I read somewhere that shield ships were supposed to be fast but there's one that's slower than an armor battlecruiser so maybe look over the original design file -- the Nightmare can fit the biggest of everything and still have 2 or 3k pg left it makes me believe somebody might've missed a comma when they transcribed the phantasm specs into the game.
The Ashimmu is worse than useless. It doesn't need to be fast I suppose but you know being able to get cruiser-level dps AND tank wouldn't hurt. As it stands it has no dps to speak of and no tank which don't let it do anything with its neuts because it just dies so quickly or can't kill the enemy fast enough before help arrives. Given the curse and rapier are obviously so much better individually the only thing the ashimmu can possibly do is serve the solo player so PLEASE ungimp this beautiful ship. Another low slot (or two even) and decent pg to be able to fit a tank and heat sinks at the same time.
Vigilant needs 20% or so more dps to keep up the edge on the thorax. It's a 400m cruiser for crying out loud it should hurt like 4 pedestrian cruisers all at once.
Come to think of if since you already did frigs such a long time ago take a look at the succubus as well. It's in such a sad state I don't even know where to begin.
It feels wrong to me that new ships keep getting added while there are so many cool ones that have been broken for such a long time. OK the T3 bcs were awesome, the mining frig also for people who like that, but 4 new t1 destroyers? Seriously? I couldn't even learn their names yet. Furthermore they're cheap pedestrian crap on a game with, I don't know, 50 or so different ships costing 1M or less I seriously doubt 10 people outside of CCP know the names of all the T1 frigates. Where's the proverbial "end game" of subcapital combat left when a 20M frigate is worse than a 2M one and a 200M cruiser can manage less of a proper fit than a 10M one?
Please Lord give us our pimped ships and let we fly onto combat to defend Your name one-to-ten against infidels in equal footing and let we defend Your honour because You giveth us our deadspace glory and let us be enourmous targets among men to draw the good fights upon us so that we may die and consume isk for You and have mercy upon our sensors and keep the jamming devils away, amen.
