the only way I would support my favorite shiped being nerfed is if they give that drone bay they take from the rax and give it to the brutix, and give both ships a cpu/pg boost

need a sig? Gallery Contact me for more information

damn, I get more and more sick of the people who say nerf this and nerf this, its getting pretty old. maybe the thorax is more powerful than any other cruiser. but you know what who cares. atleast we have one tech 1 ship under 10M in this world of tech 2 this and tech 2 that that atleast can be a good ship for us not so wealthy pvpers to use. if anything boost the other ships because they need it more than the thorax needs to be nerfed.

but if the devs do give into the complaining (have a feeling they will) atleast give the rax enough cpu/pg to fit a full rack of ions, and a decent tank. and give the drone bay to the brutix which should also receave a bit of a cpu boost, so that it could fit a rack of at least heavy electrons, and a decent tank without a RCU.

Brutix is the best BC already, only a full t2 gankproph would have a chance vs it, and you want it boosted even more? Loller.

btw the thorax is ridiculous nerf plz.

Uhmm...

* light electron blaster, skills maxed, no ship bonus: 13.84 dps
* heavy electron blaster, skills maxed, Thorax bonus: 23.33 dps

if ~70% more damage is 'little advantage' then it's kinda scary to think what a 'fair advantage' would be... :/


and the guns you should be looking at are the tech 2 light neutrons everyone runs on there rax, you'll find there almost identical dps to Heavy Electrons
People generally complain about hybrid turrets lacking in general so feel free to apply this across the board:

light electron blaster: 4 power grid requirement
heavy electron blaster: 100 power grid requirement


That 70% damage increase is suddenly devalued when you consider the plethora of fitting options (read: battleship plate) opened up to a thorax pilot, shockingly, because they can still do a huge amount of damage through drones.

The damage increase is not worth the huge power grid requirement.

As a side point it's interesting that Caldari cruiser weapons only use 100 grid all 'round when the weakest cruiser blaster uses the same and has ~1/50th the range for totallynotworthit damage.
