I tried fitting railguns on a thorax for the first time in a long time.
i was disappointed. i could only fit 5x200mm by using 2x rcu and a small armour rep :/
Thats rubbish.
please increase pg and attributes all over. it seems rubbish to me.

Adv. Weapon Upgrades is the Key!
The Thorax is the best cruiser out there (short after the Thorax comes the Maller and then the Rupture).

Yes the rax should be able to fit a full rack of 250mm Rails at eng 5...much like the MegaT. But then there would be no reason to keep the dronebay...

no cruiser can fit 5 medium longrange guns, maybe maller, and MOA but well
at least rupture needs 2 RCU II to fit 5x 720II and something else

Thorax needs a 100PG boost so it can fit med Ion Blasters and a med armor rep. No need to get rid of the drone bay, it's fine the way it is.

Guys, Slothe is no rookie. Just because he's trying to fit an omgnotcookiecutter setup, doesn't mean he's unaware of the 1600mm plate setups :-/. In fact, you'd have to be illiterate not to know about them this last week if you frequent these forums.
In my mind, the fitting requirements on 200mm rails and 250mm rails should be lowered slightly, not the Thorax fitting boosted.

"I can't fit 5x200mm to my Moa neither, fix please."
Well, with 4 turret slots that's kinda hard -.o
Can fit 4x 200mm tech.1 rail and 2x heavy launcher tho', with something like 17 grid spare.
Thorax has is about the worst grid-wise out of tier.3 cruisers, but then she does have that huge drone bay like others pointed out :<

200mm arent the longrange guns, there the lesser powered midrange.
try fitting the longrange 250mm - you dont stand a chance. 3 max i think, with 2 rcu.

I really dont think a thorax needs a boost, and thats coming from someone who has used the thorax consistently since i started (yep i`ve lost a few :) )
It just needs some imagination! The way i figure it, you can go all out attack with no defence (and still have 8 heavy drones, T2 if you have em)Or awesome defence, and lower attack ability (and still have 8 heavy drones, T2 if you have em)
I mean come on, 8 heavys is enough to do lvl 3 missions without even using guns, theres your firepower.

thing is, gallente are supposed to be the masters of drones, and the rax shows this, there on some ships, not really meant to have massive firepower, such as guns that would fit there sized ships, the firepower in a rax is its drones, I dont think it was really meant to be able to do serious damage with medium guns, as its drone bay is the killer :)

He was talknig about tech1 guns, tech2 guns are a dream atm. Thing is that the thorax also gets a bonus to medium hybrid guns so I think we should be able to use rails too.

A Thorax easily puts out several times the damage output of any other cruiser.
The key? Drone bay. 8 Heavy drones and the skill at lvl 3 puts out over 160 damage per second. That alone is double the damage a Maller fitted with Heavy Beams and Gamma M crystals puts out.
Sooo yeah. Don't tell me its underpowered.

well, somehow gallente ships arent really designed to use rails, thy also strugle with CPU for it
but after all, alone the 8 heavy drones will compensate for most fitting issues you have with thorax, but rupture has this problems without even having the possibility to use some drones (7 medium ones are possible).
Thorax need less drones then the vexor, maybe 4 heavies max, then you could boost the attributes of the thorax a bit
but after all, the medium rails seems to be cladari weaponns (moa=)

Umm, the rax gets medium hybrid bonuses and no drone bonuses along with that all important mwd bonus for getting up close and personal with blasters. The vexor on the other hand, recieves +1 drone per lvl, which is of course for drone warfare. I really find it hard to believe that the rax was supposed to be the deticated drone carrier and not use its 5 gunslots to do most of its damage. As said earlier in the thread, all high tier combat cruisers need a powergrid boost, including the thorax. But then the thorax needs to be put in line with a smaller drone bay.

Ris, still, u say tanking a rax is blashpemus: most people fly tanked raxes because they totally kick ass, HP of a BS and uber damage with the 8 heavies...
and u go like "the best way to fly rax is to fit it for damage" -> the damage you gain by fitting a few med blasters and damage mods is far from balancing the fact you will die before the drones even manage to engage...

And hence the majority of the people in this topic asking for the Grid to be slightly boosted and that the drone bay be nerfed (generally accepted to be cut in half).
The damage potential on 8 heavy drones is quite staggering. Perhaps a bit much for a single Tech 1 Cruiser, however it fits with the Gallente stereotype that drones is good (I'm still kinda confused on how it could have a drone bay half the size of a hauler's cargo bay, pre-patch ofc, but that aside...).
I was using a mission Rax with 5 x 200mm Rails on it and it worked nicely with an AB, Web, Cap Recharger, Armor repairer and for the most part a rack of powergrid mods. IMO - it should be possible to fit a full rack of the top tier of guns in any size on the highest tier of each shiptype, however there should be little to no CPU/PG left if you do that. I really don't think that trying to fit a full rack of the MIDDLE tier of gun on a Tier 3 cruiser should be as hard as it is.

Arg. The thorax is not underpowered. The thorax is not OVERpowered. The thorax is perfect the way it is.
Why does a thorax have trouble fitting a full rack of top teir guns? Because it has a whole lotta drone bay to pick up the slack.
Why does the thorax have whole lotta drone bay? Because unlike some other cruisers, it has trouble fitting a full rack of top teir guns.
Are you seeing a pattern? Hell, the description of the thorax itself mentions it using blasters and "hordes of drones" to tear apart its targets. So why do we all have trouble with the concept that the thorax is the premier drone boat in the game? There's not even MENTION of drones in the Vexor's ship description so I don't know why the heck that beast is always brought up as the example of which ship should have more drone space. The drone bonus was added several patches ago to simply beef up what was previously a useless ship. Not to define it as a specialized drone carrier.
The thorax is the premier drone-carrying cruiser of a race that favors drones. It's supposed to have lots of drone space, and it's supposed to be slightly gimped in the turret department.
Leave bloody well enough alone!

All cruisers have trouble fitting a full rack of their top tier guns. Unlike the thorax they dont have uber drone bays to make up for it.

If you look at the PG of the Thorax compared to the requirements for guns, the thorax turns out to be one of the hardest tier 3 cruiser to fit. And on top of that, it has one fewer high slot than all the other cruisers. It makes good sense that it has a much larger dronebay in terms of balance. And even more sense in terms of what the ship is supposed to be.

It would make sense if the MegaT had a 1000 m3 dronebay and the grid of a Raven.

Ah but the issue is that a Thorax pilot with lvl 4 skills can fit light neutron blasters, a 1600mm plate, and still do over 250 damage per second (160 through its drones). Please let me know how you can achieve that kind of defense and offense combo on any other cruiser. Oh, and be sure to please cite your damage calculations.

CCP, no other cruiser (including the Thorax) can output this type of damage with a plate fitted. Please nerf Rupture powergrid and CPU in order to prevent it from dominating Thorax and other cruisers. Please cut powergrid by 100 and reduce Stabber powergrid as well to keep it inline. Reduce Munin and Vagabond powergrid as well accordingly. Kthxbye

You did an awful lot of calculations just to take the **** :p. You could squeeze something similar out of a rax if you didn't fit an mwd or rep to that either:
Thorax w/ eng. 5 has 875 grid. Throw on an RCU II and that goes up to 1,006.25 MW
Thorax w/ elec. 5 has 275 cpu.
1600mm rolled tungsten = 500 MW/28 tf
Heavy electron blaster II w/ weapons upgrades 5 & advanced weapons upgrades 5 = 94.5 MW/24.75 tf
Magnetic field stabilizer II = 1 MW/30 tf
RCU II = 20 tf
5 x Heavy electron II + 1600mm rolled tungsten + 3 x Magnetic field stabilizer II + RCU II
= 975.5 MW / 261.75 tf
So that fits.
Heavy electron II with AM w/ maxed skills & 3 damage mods:
Damage: 2.1 (base) * 1.25 (med hybrid 5) * 1.1 (med blaster spec 5) * 1.15 (surg 5) * 1.25 (gall cruiser 5) * [(1.1^3) ^ (3^-0.25)] (damage mods) * 24 (AM) = 123.8 hp
RoF: 3 (base) * 0.9 (gunnery 5) * 0.8 (rapid firing 5) * [(0.895^3) ^ (3^-0.25)] (damage mods) = 1.677 s
DPS for 5 heavy electron II = 5 * 123.8/1.677 = 369.1 hp/s
8 ogre II w/ maxed skills:
Damage: 1.92 (base damage multiplier) * 1.25 (heavy drones 5) * 1.1 (gallente spec 5) * 22 (base damage) = 58.08 hp
RoF: 2 seconds
DPS for 8 ogre II = 8 * 58.08/2 = 232.32 hp/s
Total DPS for this rather extreme plated blasterax with no mwd or repairer: 601.42 hp/s

The difference is, the Rupture setup is somewhat useful with it's 11km range and faster drones. It can sit on a gate and actually blast something before it has a chance to warp out. Whereas Thorax without MWD will just get laughed at with it's pitiful 5km range and slow Ogres. So in analysis, it looks like the Thorax is trading range for damage, which is pretty much how it's always been balanced with Gallente on one end and Caldari at the other. So maybe the lesson for today is that just looking at DPS and whining about big numbers is rather meaningless without examining how it is delivered

Of course, but you were the one stating "CCP, no other cruiser (including the Thorax) can output this type of damage with a plate fitted." And just because you can't use it to camp a gate doesn't necessarily make it useless (I can think of a couple of applications off the top of my head - covert ops ofc, and camping complex gates.)

Farjung, you must have missed the tongue in cheek humor when I called for the Rupture to be nerfed. I seriouly doubt anyone truly believes Rupture (or any other Minnie cruiser) needs to be nerfed. And true the Thorax gank setup could be useful in a couple of situatons. But the Rupture gank setup will be useful in more setups with it's range advantage. Which I think makes it balanced despite it's lesser DPS.

How about leaving the Thorax as it is and boost all the other Cruisers instead?

Toaster Oven, does Scout Drones really get a damage bonus from Heavy Drones? The skill description seem to imply that only Heavy Drones get this bonus.
And also, all cruisers need fittings boosted in order to make cruiser guns more valid, but not enough to make double plates possible.
Also, 1600mm plates needs to add massive amount of weight to the ship they fit on (something close to, or more than, 20,000,000 KG (2x std cruiser weight)) in order to make agility, acceleration, and speed modules become nerfed when fitted in conjunction with over-sized plates.

OMG!! FINALLY SOMEONE THAT IS ENLIGHTNED!!!!!! OMG OMG!!!
yup, Maller is better than thorax, only noobs dont know that (tahts 99% of population)
only a noob would think ship types of the class (tech 1 cruisers) make it a winner...I truly believe pilot skil and planning are the winning factors

Well, the range bonus from the scout drone operation skill applies to all drones, so I've always inferred that the same applies to the heavy drone case.
"Skill at controlling scout combat drones.
Bonus: drone range increased by 5000 meters per skill level."
"Skill at controlling heavy combat drones. 5% Bonus to drone damage per level."
If it said 5% bonus to heavy drone damage per level I'd agre with you, but that implies it's a damage bonus to all drones.

Memory database approximatly 9 months old. Updating... ... ... done. :p
Well yes, as to the actual topic, the Thorax as a ship is actually rather weak and kind of like a one-trick-pony. It's the drones that does it. Cut drone bay and you'll have to upgrade the gunship aspect of the Thorax, which I don't think too many would disagree to.
The Vexor and Augoror, however, both need a drone bay INCREASE. (note how the Augoror is low-end tier 2 while Vexor is high-end tier 2, as why the Augoror still shouldn't be boosted when it comes to turrets and so...)

Yes, what Farjung said. Heavy drone skill applies to dmg done by all combat drones. Same as how scout drone skill affects range of all combat drones. And I agree, mass penalty for fitting plates makes sense.

If you look at the PG of the Thorax compared to the requirements for guns, the thorax turns out to be one of the hardest tier 3 cruiser to fit. And on top of that, it has one fewer high slot than all the other cruisers. It makes good sense that it has a much larger dronebay in terms of balance. And even more sense in terms of what the ship is supposed to be.
Ah but the issue is that a Thorax pilot with lvl 4 skills can fit light neutron blasters, a 1600mm plate, and still do over 250 damage per second (160 through its drones). Please let me know how you can achieve that kind of defense and offense combo on any other cruiser. Oh, and be sure to please cite your damage calculations.
You're wrong, this Thorax wouldn't do 250 DPS. It would do from 0 to 250 DPS depending on the situation it is in, and even under optimal conditions the pilot being engaged by the Thorax could act in such a way so as to reduce the damage to 90 DPS without destroying the Thorax. That's less than many frigates I can think of.
Unfortunately, many of you people are spitting out numbers without considering the actual tactical possibilities. You are blinded by nonsensical arguments that dont mean crap.
