IMO, Hookbill > Comet ~ Slicer > Firetail. Hookbill needed small nerf and didn't receive it (maybe mass will affect it more than I think). Firetail needed buff and got it. Slicer is tough call since it is so adversely affected by td's. Otherwise it's a great ship.
So overall Fozzie is on the right track with these ships.
Edit: This thread would be "win" if included bringing back the old comet paint scheme! |

destroyer and battlecruiser have less T2 compare to other subcap ship too. There is no room for those. What role would they fill? We don't need a 2000 dps Navy Brutix They would fill the "TOTALLY AWESOME FACTION NAVY SHIP" role, that's what! Do it CCP! |

Also take into consideration what that single td on the hookbill would do to the tracking/range of this comet Both these fits have 1 thing in common, if they get caught they are dead. I love the hookbill(hell i don't even fly it) its a bad ass little ship. In no way what so ever does it need a buff, Don't really think it needed a nerf either but from what I can tell the changes to it won't be that big a deal. You can fit a shield tank on the nano 150mm rail comet (at the expense of the td). But in any case, that hookbill already has superior range control ability with the dual prop + web/scram + td. So it's really tough to actually "catch" that hookbill in the first place (it's not automatically dead if caught like that comet). And the hookbill wil apply same dps at all ranges (unlike the comet which cannot apply dps at point blank range). |

Has massive number of low slots for prop mods and excellent damage projection with short range weapons out to 25 km. |

The comet is an awesomely fun ship to fly and is a near perfect synthesis of all the Gallente frigates. Part taranis, part enyo, with a little ishkur and ares thrown in too.
Be careful about asking for more drones. They'll nerf the hell out of ship stats because that's what CCP does to drone boats. |

The utility high slot does nothing w.r.t increasing potential dps, so while you and I might love that tradeoff I don't think CCP would. They'd have to nerf something else as well. |

I sense that somebody's hookbill touched your drones inappropriately.
Drones are getting better with the damage amplifiers, and the drone destroyers are great little ships that are very resiliant against td's. And with the rebalanced frigs (Tristan for one), neuts + drones are very effective. Things are looking up. |

Captain Nares wrote: Let's be honest it is because merlin was "sniper" platform with optimal range bonus. Now it isn't.
It's because every Caldari ship in the game has superior lock range and sensor strength compared to every other ship in the same class. Caldari is the "e-war resistant" race. |

Turret might be OP, but a launcher slot like the firetail might work.

what should be done is to change the damage bonus to be consistent. as i've suggested before, something like 15% for all damage types. a nerf to kinetic damage and buff to the other 3. this means the hookbill would do less damage than now, but be able to choose damage types. If anything hookbill DPS is low although normally well applied due to the range and number of mids for fight control, I honestly would not have a problem with the bonus for other damage types being raised to 15% as it seems to be getting a bit of a nerf compared to the others at the moment but reducing the kinetic bonus at all would be a big nerf. I disagree. Hookbill is already OP. It doensn't need "omni-damage" as well. |

locus coordinator rigs are great for extending range (same range increase as old tracking enhancers) |
