Large sword and shield should always beat a small sword and shield? No, those games are broken, they are the ones that need fixing. The day 'bigger ship' = 'win button', (or anything equals 'win button' for that matter) is the day the game is finished. |

[96] I don' want the thorax to get nerfed,i want it to get balanced,along with the rest of the tech1 cruisers. Imo,HAC's are much more balanced to eachother (caldari are a bit off,but the rest are ok).Maybe we could "reverse engineer" the tech1 cruisers from HAC's and be done with it. As it is,all cruisers can't effectively tank without oversized 1600mm plates.That means lowering your damage output by using frigate-sized weapons,due to fitting constraints.I remember training engineering and electronics to lvl5 when i was 2 months in the game so i could finally fit a rupture decently.The only cruiser that can offset the reduced damaged output of frig guns is the thorax due to it's huge drone bay. I agree with the rest of the people who propose downgrading the thorax dronebay and upgrading the grid/cpu on most of the cruisers,since they all have a hard time fitting.Since thorax is a gallente ship it's ok for it to have some more drones,but not 8 heavies.By comparison,if minnie cruisers get 5 mediums,i suppose it's ok for the thorax to field 3-4 MEDIUMS more,as long as the bay doesn't stretch to BS size. It's obvious that a thorax can actually go head to head with HAC's,just because of drones. I tested a vagabond with a corpmates thorax.Before anyone says "learn how to fight it",i know how to do it.However,the fact that i need a specific setup on a tech2 ship ranging from 40-80mil ISK to counter a tech1 ship with a cost of roughly 7-10mil is downright ridiculous. I used a normal group pvp setup on the vagabond,with no active tank.This is not a solo setup,or a max damage one,it's a group fitting and we simulated a random solo encounter with a tech1 cruiser.I had 5x220mm II's,rocket launcher for defenders,10MN AB II,sensor booster II,20k scrambler or web,L shield extender II,1xsmall armor rep (to use after the fights),2xgyro II,2xPDU II.The idea behind this setup is to do some decent damage,without the risk of flying such an expensive ship without any form of defense at all.The L extender II with the 2xPDU II gives 3.9k shields with decent resistances,which should be able to hold long enough for you to decimate a tech1 cruiser.All this sounds more or less reasonable,right? Well,the cap drain of the 220's on the vagabond is about 10% because of the high rof(1st time ever i saw my cap drain from firing guns on a projectile boat).The autocannons have a nice falloff,but you will optimally want to be near 8km of the target to maximize damage and have a decent chance of passing the 10km threshold of his webbing range if any of his buddies show up.However,If you close the range on the rax to slightly less than 10km,he opens up with web,multiple nos and drones,and the 1600mm plate gives him ample time to tank you until you have no cap(while his is full and he can run his armor rep for a long time),you can't AB/MWD away,can't fire guns etc,can't web him to outrun him.He isn't firing any guns,or if he is they are frig sized guns,so you shouldn't have a prob,right?Wrong,because the 8 heavies of doom will eventually go through your shield and you will die. When i'm in a vagabond,a thorax scares me more than a dominix.I can easily outrun the domi if i get in trouble,even if his heavy nos will drain my cap faster.It's a BS and i can orbit further away and still get decent hits due to it's larger sig,so i won't get webbed.Hell,a vag can even kill a deimos if flown the right way,but has trouble with a thorax?It may be a specific setup for a thorax,but it's one of the most common one out there and is not considered unusual.That's not balance.It's a slap in the face for those who take the time to train and the risk to fly in combat a domi or a deimos instead of a thorax. |

[98] For all the thorax whiners, maybe EvE should only have 5 ship class. Small,medium,large,uber,superuber And only one type of weapon,shield,ammo. A Raven could wipe out a tanked thorax in no time, A maller can kill a thorax fine and it is a cruiser class ship. A thorax is a combat support ship, it is a T2 Frig killer providing support for BS in combat, It is not a uberkill everything ship. A skilled pilot can kill a thorax. The problem is unskilled pilots are probably getting wiped by skilled thorax pilots and are deciding to nerf it down. A thorax has to MWD down to its target real close, by then it is sucking cap and has the radius of a planet, Heavy drones are not that fast either so you have to get within 800-2000meters. It is taking damage on its way. A smart pilot would target the drones first then the ship. For those asking for a nerf, were you killed by a rax? what ship were you flying, fittings and your skill sheet please. |

what with? a raven has less drones than a rax, its missiles do (almost) nothing (unless it fits heavies, thus borking its anti-BS setup), nosferatus don't have much affect on a rax - so what is a raven supposed to do - unless that raven is in an antirax setup (with smarties, and probably heavy missiles), the rax wins. now, imagine that raven is fighting a maller - nossy the thing till its caps are dead, then use heavy drones to kill the thing - u can fire cruise missiles as well - they will add A BIT of DPS - not enough to "wipe a tanked thorax in no time) without fitting a specific anti-rax setup, a raven won't win however, with a fairly general setup, (with nossies) it can kill EVERY other t1 cruiser - sound fair to you? |

That is exactly what is wrong with the thorax, my standard thorax setup is versatile enough not to have to put intelligence or planning. I cannot do that with another cruiser. BS armor + BS weapon + frig defense in a disposable cruiser 4tw, no other cruiser can do that. It is the firepower and the versatility on the battlefield (non-specific setup) that makes this ship so overpowered. It is better than half of the HAC in firepower, versatility on the battlefield, survivability. That is wrong. Prove me wrong instead of throwing your textbook anti-nerf stuffs. Sincerly Yours, The Naughty Boy. Edit: Oh, yeah, as for the psycho-crap "you got beat by a thorax because you suck" i have another one for you, "you don't want your ship to be put on par with the other ships of the same class because you don't want people to see how crap you are when fighting with balanced ships." ![]() |

[112] It seems to me they should increase the power of other cruisers, rather than nerfing everything (the 'rax in this case...), as discussed before. You can't blame CCP for not nerfing it anyway, it brings diversity to the game (in that we are discussing it at this very point in time!). Surely it's more fun to design a setup to counter the 'rax, or ask for an improvement in other cruisers? Just giving up and whining about it seems such a rubbish way to deal with "imbalances" in the game. I'd like to see Cruisers brought up to the same level, making them much more viable ships, rather than floating blobs with the size (easier to lock, hit, etc.), but none of the firepower. |
