Looks good at first glance although I am a bit worried about the brick nature of the Prophecy. Had expected you to complete the Abaddon line (Punisher/Maller/.../Abaddon) and give it damage/resist .. the proposed layout+bonuses screams 'bricked frigate cleanser' which is a niche as wide as the grand canyon these days.
Regarding active armour tank bonuses: Perhaps staying the complaints until the plan for active tank revisions are put forward is in order. We know it is coming.
Regarding Cyclone: Split weapon system, what?!? It is getting a RoF bonus and has significantly higher launcher count than gun ditto .. "Split weapon .." is roughly equal or equal count with bonuses to both (ie. Typhoon) .. or it used to be and truth be told it is the only defini |

Do your job slave!
Prod them until they release the preliminary idea that you have obviously been advised of .. if it had been done in a timely manner this thread would have gone unnoticed for all but the hard-core as changes are on the whole minimal .. it is that 'on paper' less desirable Gallente bonus that is drawing most of the heat (or seems to be at any rate)...

@Fozzie: Still wondering why you are going drone boat for the Prophecy instead of sticking to the resist/damage formula that has worked wonders for its smaller brethren. Being a brick should be an option not a requirement which I am sad to say is what a 7 slot drone boat with resists will be .. simple no real (read: viable) options beyond bricking.

Nerf off-grid boosts a bit to make on-grid boosting more interesting (even if it's just a slight reduction in effectiveness; something like 25% or 50%. I don't want off grid boosting nerfed. I want all boosting nerfed. And I have something around 25M SP in leadership. -Liang
I keep hearing those SP numbers thrown around, but doing the training multiplier x 256k for all skills (using EveMon) only yields 15M and change .. are there some secret skills I am not aware of or do people include peripheral skills?

Andre Coeurl wrote:So, absolutely....
His description of plans for the tier3's (Attack vs. Combat) made me think just that. The fitting gap between SR/LR weapons should be large enough to give them a tank slightly larger than cruisers with SR while leaving nothing when going LR .. should be possible at any rate as it is frightfully close to that now.
Trick will be to somehow widen the gap so that we don't suddenly drown in fast, tanked snipers. |

Part of why the Incursus works is also because of the cycle time of SAR, amount repaired / second is almost perfect when seen in relation to EHP of the things .. that ratio breaks down completely with MAR or Goddess forbid LAR.
Hopefully all factors will be accounted for when decisions about the future of active armour are made.

It is called target selection, with the max dps drone setup you obviously stay well clear of small/fast targets .. for general hunting using Valks is superior especially if one has neuts/webs available.
Took on an "easy prey" Vexor in my Maller once .. he was full gank fit (including the odd drone mix) and shredded my boat so insanely fast it wasn't even funny .. so it is a matter of what one does with it that can be fail and not the 2.2.1 setup.
Naomi Anthar wrote:Talking about crap bonuses on your ships ? Well what about : 10% less cap usage of hybrid weapons per level ? Yeah ...
Actually been thinking about that most hated bonus, being Amarr only and all. We have some active rep options coming our way and since Amarr has always been the cap race .. why not change the consumption bonus for a recharge bonus? Lets Amarr be the race that uses batteries (will need a slight boost too) while Gallente use injectors. |

Why is it that you think BC's should be able provide gang support without axing something from their 'personal' fits?
When we get to tweaking the CC's then the idea of linking + full fit will have its day, but for T1 .. more grid/CPU will inevitably lead to even more excessive buffer/gank fits with links never entering peoples thoughts, and that is even with links coming on-grid SoonGäó, T1 will/should be backup link platforms to T2/T3 specialized ditto. |

Only because CCP refuse to introduce the missing M/L pulse lasers .. give me Gatlings!!!!
I want the situational hyper-tracking, low-dps option with no fall-off to speak of for all my boats.

So by fitting one version with broken (more than adequately proven several times) modules you were able to defeat a ship fitted with modules just off the balancing table and thus on par with current hull power ratios?
Shield buffers are stupidly effective; easy to fit, great value for money/slot and negligible drawbacks.
TE's are stupidly effective (and synergizes perfectly with above) to the extent where a lot of ships are better off replacing tank/damage/speed/whatever mods with then and still come out ahead.
Just sayin' |
