Quote:Tiericide made the Caracal a beastly killing machine, buffed the thorax, made the stabber better, and made some pretty freaking badass support cruisers
Tiericide Improved the drake's dps, improved the harbinger's dps, took the hurricane down a slight notch to not be the king of small gang pvp go-to ship, and improved the myrmidon's practical dps
lol. ccp buffed scrub ships like t1 firgates and cruisers cause blobbers are afraid to fly something that costs more than a few million iskies. why would you even fly a bc or hac now that cruisers are just as good and cost halve or tenth as much. meanwhile, their going to nerf real pvp ships like t3s because scrubs dont have the balls to field something worth that much so they whine intil ccp does something about it.
o7m8s enjoy ur carebear pvp. |

Can't agree. Drake is not unusable. Neither is the Hurricane.
Unusable no - but the cane for instance was one of the least broken ships in the game - making it more clunky to fit so its more inline with the other ships isn't really progress. Seen the same with weapon systems and other aspects of the game, where stuff thats working as expected for some reason gets downgraded at the same time as stuff thats seriously under-performing getting massaged upwards,,, get the feeling someones so scared of "power creep" they are hazarding on undercutting things than trying to actually balance things. I hate to think what will happen to other long range weapons if they actually ever get to fixing small/medium railguns using spike ammo.
The hurricane was one of the most broken ships in the game specifically because it was laughably easy to fit. Apparently CCP meant it to be an artillery platform, so its AC variations had a ludicrous amount of grid with which to fit largest guns + heaviest tank + dual medium neuts. On top of that, it was as fast as a cruiser with virtually no drawback to being so. If you wanted to pick a ship which was ruining small pvp by overshadowing most of the alternatives, the hurricane would be a good choice.
And it's hardly ruined. It's received a minor agility nerf, lost a bit of utility, and now you have to think about what you put on it and why you want those 425mm ACs rather than 220mms. |

I'm sorry we wasted your time raising serious issues to the community.

Now they've been nerfed to be the same as the rest of the crap they call for "ships". Why not pull those up instead, hmm?
Because obsoleting every cruiser in the game by making ALL the battle cruisers over powered would be indicative of even worse game balance than we already had. We get it - you're pissed because your play style got changed (I won't use nerfed, because that's not an accurate term, if you look at the issue objectively). To that, I will say, in the words of CCP themselves: "HTFU." Adapt or die - it's the Eve way.
I'm not gonna lie, I don't think his play style got nerfed. |

The Rebel Alliance Doctrine has been revised and updated for the new era, and will feature A-wings and B-wings as well as X-wings.
edit: I will say, that particular fight drove me to the discovery that thanks to the wonders of 125mm ACs, an armor slasher can dual-prop with requiring a fitting mod. |
