I think one of the main issues is the Thorax fitting a 1600mm plate, having lots of gun damage from Light Neutron IIs and having an enormous amount of damage coming out of its drone bay. Oh, and a MWD bonus. Ermmm.

Something has to give eventually; there is a reason the Gallente 'Phallus Of Shiny Doom' is found in nearly every space lane. What is even more confusing is the Vector, apparently a monstrous drone ship carrying less than her blaster-boat cousin.

The massive drone bay on the Thorax is an archaic leftover from the old days of EVE, and a remedy must be at hand. I personally believe at least one of the following has to be pursued:


  1. The 1600mm plates have to induce more of a penalty in cruiser-class ships (this would also address the issue with the Zealot)

  2. The Thorax should have her drone bay decreased to 100m3

  3. The Vexor should have her drone bay increased to at least the level of the Thorax in her current state



My two isk...
