Right. ISP, please excuse the rantish tone of this next little bit, I just honestly feel it needs to be said.
Such a lovely bunch of cry bables. "Oh, no the fit I've always used and am comfortable with is just going to be so fail with all these changes!" Christ, people, if the game doesn't evolve, it'll just stagnate! Even life is about change! Instead of crying over spilt milk, why not... *rephrases a thought* take a step outside the box, and start giving some thought to all the things you can do with the options and possibilities presented by these new BC changes!
Ok, done with the rant, now, on to my comments about this!
As someone who started out in this game as an Amarr pilot (first though upon initial reading about the game went along the lines of "Hmm... spaceships, the future... Oh! Lasers, woot!" lol)
Prophecy: I think that there's abit more that [could be done with it but overall I like it... and extra low slot means it will have an easier time with taking advantage of a drone damage aug, all those lovely high slots that don't beg to be weapon purposed means you have plenty of room to work with for warfare link mods as well... I wouldn't have minded seeing it with slightly lower drone capacity to pick up abit more bandwidth, but what is presented is most definately workable.
Harbinger: This was the first ship I bothered to fly once I finally admitted I couldn't solo an L3 Gurista's Extravaganza with a Navy Slicer (though damned if I didn't have fun trying!), and, overall, I like it. Only thing I'd prefer different (though it's definately NOT a bad thing as it is currently presented) is that I wouldn't have minded not getting that extra 25 to drone bay if it had meant not losing the armor ehp, otherwise, I love what I see... though I do agree that nerfing both it's ehp AND it's maneuverability is rather extreme... it makes it both even more hittable on top of losing out on it's ability to take the punishment, and as someone else mentioned, it never really had much of a tank to begin with (boo hoo, it's got abit less PG and CPU, get your fitting skills done already!), I am very excited about it's better dps potential and easier cap management!
Ferox: *shrugs* it's good it finally got that 7th turret slot, and, hey, it's abit tankier now... as for that second, hell, it's a Cald boat, what else SHOULD happen here?
Drake: Lulz to everyone who both constantly bashes the ship (of which I myself am delightfully guilty :P) and to those back in the day who used to cry it's tank and all made it too OP and it just had to be nerfed! Side Note: Can't wait to see this boat after you guys get around to putting through those oh so briefly mentioned tracking mod changes!
Brutix: This boat whether in fleet or solo pvp has never had any use for armor rep, and in pve the bonus isn't really that significant when you can just set yourself up a proper tank to begin with (6 lows is PLENTY to work with on that, after all) so I find myself overall in some small agreement to the tears over that... the flip side being, hmm.... just what COULD I do with it?
Myrmidon: always was the triple rep threat to be feared, especially solo, and, wow, guess what? Now it's potentially viable to handle that same crap with 2 reps? wow... that'd be nasty, essentially an extra low slot to work with!
Cyclone: Not much to say for this one, I'm afraid, just no real personal experience with it (but, golly, Sliepners are SOOOO sexy!)
Hurricane: after having seen this ship used as it currently stands to some rather uber effect, I find myself agreeing with the changes proposed to it completely (and look forward to using the new version myself as well).
In short, CCP, Devs, ISP, GMs... I may disagree with you (especially the GMs when I petition a ship loss, lmao) but overall, the real problem I've seen in this thread isn't these changes... it's the players (I honestly had to stop reading the player posts after page 8, repitition gets so tiring, and only skimmed over them in case someone official had something to say... needless to say, my expectations of not seeing such b/c all the material posted was SSDD turned out to be well founded) being unwilling to take a walk on the Wild Side! |
