I like the looks of the new prophecy. The Harb did get hit harder then I expected.
I was hoping that between the Myrm and Brutix one would get rid of the armor rep bonus. Sigh. 100m^3 is a weird bandwidth for the Myrm too. 4 heavies? 3 heavies an two medium to not make full use of it? It's nice but sort of offends my OCD.
The Drake is unoriginal. Caldari hybrid boat get shield and a hybrid bonus. Caldari missile boats get range and damage. The Ferox got upgraded to 7 turrets. I approve.
Minmatar - saw it coming. Looks fine. |

Why not 6 launchers? I thought you were going away from the split weapon layout. Now it just seems like you swapped it around for the cyclone. Also, many of the former tier2 ones seem to lose their utility high. I had hoped to see t1 BCs being used more with a link or two for small fleets with the upcomming change to links, but the loss of the utility high will just mean that ppl will be less likely to fit one with a link.
Isn't a turret high on a missile bonus ship the ultimate utility high?

Yes, I meant all incoming reps, that includes remote reps. And even then a resist bonus will outperform a rep bonus since buffer tanks (plate and extenders) won't gain anything from a rep bonus while a resist bonus benefits both active and passive tanking. |

Overall, this doesn't rustle my jimmies.
However, the Harbinger does look a wee bit outgunned. You're now reducing its fitting, reducing base HP, removing a high (for consistency) but also removing a turret hardpoint, in addition to making it SLOWER.
Combined with the inherit weakness that is laser damage output & tracking, this simply doesnt seem like a good deal. At the very least, I'd say reduce the high slots and all that, but let it keep the 7 turrets and the powergrid. This will allow for people to run high dps setups that can compete with the likes of the others, in addition to actually fitting BEAMS. If people want that utility high slot, they can choose not to fit the 7th gun. -áwww.promsrage.com |

Also, would it not make more sense to just give the Tier 1 BCs more slots to bring them in line with the T2 instead of nerfing the bridge new players live in before they can move to a BS? |

Haven't you notice the damage bonus has been increased? its gone from 5% -> 10% damage per level.
Now: 7 turrets x 1.25 = 8.75 turrets.
Future: 6 turrets x 1.50 = 9 turrets
As you can see you will do more damage while needing less turrets. |

An optimal range to hybrid guns practically forces you to use railguns since blasters have terrible optimals anyways, why not follow the Moa route and give this a damage bonus instead? Even a tracking or falloff bonus would beat this. |

It should be a role bonus that you can use a weapon, ship bonus gives specialization. Other ships receive tracking, range, whatever bonus and amarr ships like harb or oracle have a "yey you can actually fire this weapon" bonus.
Seems to be an easier pill to swallow given Harbi is going from 5% to 10% damage bonus. More than makes up for the lost gun.
Does it seem utility highs are vanishing at an alarming rate?
EDIT: By my count only the cyclone can fit the cloak/neut combo i'm looking for, the Huricane/Harbi have to chose one or the other, and the rest are all just straight racks of guns, or drone boats |

*edit: was slow* Harbringer getting +10% damage bonus instead of 5, becoming (miniscule) better, plus a spare flight?
In fact, it gets the same bandwidth and more bay than a Brutix! Any chance that with the AI as it is, more ships with a tight bay of 50 get such a treatment?
Ferox is indeed underwhelming, expected more. Well, a turret extra is nice, but not the OOOMPH I came expecting to see.
Brutix: The extra low is nice, a bit of extra bay, and a better bonus wouldn't hurt.
Myrm: Would have prefered that it only looses a turret slot, but I would also have preferred it getting a full 125 bay, and I knew that ain't happening. A drone extra is nice, maybe +25/+50 instead of +25/+25... but I'm a droneophile, so I can never get enough.
Prophecy: So now we have a drone ship with a passive tank bonus, and the possibility of 5 unbonused capless weaponry! Triple size bay is also nice, or 4+spare smalls, if using meds instead of min/maxing.
Cyclone: Probably wouldn't mind an extra launcher. With the Cane loosing a highslot, this is the only (non-drone) ship with two unbonused spare weapon/utility slots? Wish there was a Rogue Drone Faction Battleship... Infested Domi! Including all the wiggly bits to tend to your swarm, droneboat role bonus, and ofc with turrets. |

Looks like there might be a philosophical shift away from utility highslots toward more utility drones from t1s |

so you guys made a new drake model with 8 awesome slots and i can use only 7 of them ?
that makes no sense !
give the drake 8 highslots for 8 launchers and nerf the damage-bonus
don't forget to add enough pg/cpu for another launcher We are recruiting german-speaking PVP players, contact me :)

I said this in another thread after the dev post about new battlecruisers but it bears repeating. You were right to be concerned about the Ferox and Naga sharing a sniper role on the battlefield. That is because comparatively the Naga with rails fitted has much longer optimal far superior damage as well as better mobility. The Ferox has a better tank...but so what if you're receiving heavy fire as a sniper something has gone awry in your plan.
The two ships will NOT be competing for the sniper role the Naga will simply win, having the advantage in every area that counts (aside from tracking I suppose but the longer range will help to mitigate that as a problem) and the Ferox will continue to collect dust. At least you didn't give the Ferox a carbon copy of the Naga bonuses which was originally the plan if memory serves. The whole point however was that it needed bonuses that better fit it's adopted role in the post Naga era which is a brawler. 5% shield resistance and 5% medium hybrid damage would not make it overpowered as it's damage is currently low compared with other short range battlecruisers and would give it a very clearly defined role within the Caldari lineup. |

What is strange is that every race has a damage dealer and an extra tank version, except the Gallente, who just has two bonuses to local tanking. This doesn't seem to line up at all with the rest of the t1/t2 battlecruisers. Shouldn't at least one of them have double weapon bonuses, like better tracking instead of the armor bonus on the brutix? |

The damage bonus is changed from 5% to 10%, meanwhile -1 turret.
This means its actually a great boost for the ship, both in DPS and cap-usage
The lost fitting is the same as 1 Heavy pulse so thats fine as-well.

Don't worry man I made the same mistake at first, so at least you know you're not alone.
7 turrets with 10% damage would have been too much. |

Medium nos was never good enough to compensate the cap use of unbonused cruiser or BC in pvp. Removing utility slots is actually not a huge problem IMO. Putting neuts on cap dependent ship is meh, fight a cane and he will laugh at the neut so you can just leave it off and move a bit qucker. It just widens the gap between cap dependent ships and cap independent ships, ASBs made it worse. a eve-style bounty system https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=359105 You fail you fail you fail you fail you fail you fail you fail to jump because you are cloaked |

Was surprised for the harbi nerf, didn't knew it needed one, as I don't see people flying one. not surprised that the drake got a bit nerfed on defensive abilities. the lost high on the cane hurts however. I though the tier3 bc would have a few changes also, surprised not a number changed. After I'm not a fitting guru at all, so I won't say if these changes are good or bad in my view, only saying I'm surprised by some ;) |
