I heard that CCP plans on converting the Cyclone and/or Claymore to a missile boat. Anyone have a source link?
In my opinion, I wouldn't like to see the T1 Cyclone and Sleipnir to turn into missile boats. They should stay heavy-tanking turret boats much like they are now.

There was talk of the Proph going drone boat too.
While the Sleip is unbalanced making it a missile boat would be heavy handed, not like that ever stopped them. A bonus change to reflect command ship and if they plan to force them on grid to get bonus, some sort of miracle button for when 300 ships primary them.

You haven't figured outCCP's new balancing formula? The destroyers are the blueprint and the basis is faction warfare. So from now on it goes missle boat for missle boat, drone boat for drone boat. Although don't be surprised if they throw in a turret boat for turret boat.
The real question will be who gets the top ship each time. Since Gallente got the best destroyer maybe it will be Amarr for cruisers, Minmatar for BC's and Caldari for battleships? |

I have a beloved Sleipnir to. I'm saying that I DON'T want it to become a missile ship.

You shouldn't even think about this! Don't mention Sleipnir or ancient nerf balancing gods will awake from the sleep and do something awful (again).

The master ship balancer has spoken: https://twitter.com/ccp_fozzie/status/288771047854055424
Sleipner will remain a gunboat. Claymore will go missiles.

Sigh, well, my Claymores look to be consigned to the scrap heap, as several other of my ships were Dec 3rd.
Loved my 110K, 515 DPS auto-cannon Claymore dumping out lovely bonuses.
When it gets nerfed into a missile boat, I hope at least the designers have the sense to give it a HAM damage bonus.
But I sure am not holding my breath. More likely it will be something like a Heavy Missile range bonus, to match up perfectly with a drone bay designed for close in work. |

CCP reasoning still amaze me who's idea was of changing the Claymore from Turret to Launcher system. Some players still choose what could be their favorite ship to master and create a skill plan to follow now your just killing that single BC and making the other (Sleipnir) more reliable for following the gunnery path. There is no reason to fly a Claymore if your T1 bonus & requirement are for gunnery and I don't see the point of adding missile boats in the Minmatar when you could just jump into Caldari.
If you really want to change every ship in game why not use part of your game mechanics that you already have implemented. I donGÇÖt see why you could just start making new kinds of rigging system that change the slots from turrets to launchers to every ship. |

What will happen to the Cyclone is that it'll be ignored by newer players who will have had to decide on missiles or turrets - and turrets is the way you have to go at the start with Minmatar ships (unless you're some sort of masochist).
Older players won't care much as they'll have missile and gunnery skills anyway.

I can perfectly agree with this, but it needs balance anyway, Sleipnirs are far too good. I don't think it's a good solution to nerf it (being T2 hull) or for god sake don't put missiles on it, but I'd also like to see the other CS same tiers become as good as Sleipnir (I can use them all, gues why I choose that one over the 3 others) |
