Caldari BS need a major rework.
The Rokh is fine honestly, its a shield blaster boat with all the numbers seemingly balanced (Except for its capacitor).
The Raven needs to gain a mid and lose a low, and cruise missiles/torpedos need a rework. Torpedos need more range, and slightly less damage explosion/more explosion velocity to make them more on par with damage application from gunboats and drone boats. Cruise missiles are near being "balanced", but the anemic damage output of them makes every other BS 10x more viable.
Scorpion could become a combat ship, but then it treads on the feet of either the Rokh or Raven, so leaving it where it is, is fine. But perhaps a slot rework? Or lowering the ECM bonus a little and adding a damage/tank bonus?
The reality is that the Raven needs love and then everyone will be happy.
Otherwise, the Hyperion needs more fitting. The Geddon could use slightly better capacitor. The Tempest could use more base armor since it is the flimsiest of BS. Typhoon could use more "focus". -1 Turret Slot and +1 missile slot would make skilling into the Typhoon less of a 1 year ordeal. And it could help to gain a mid-slot if you wish to keep the "Shield/Missile" minmatar focus going.
Maelstrom is okay, but with Combat Links being nerfed, the Maelstrom will find itself without a use unless it gains a Mid-Slot and loses a Low-slot.
Just my opinions as someone who spends half his day staring at EFT numbers and thinking "What-If" with half my fits. |

I agree here as well. Already been thinking about other options for one of the amarr bs - as a follow up question related to this: Which amarr bs seems most ripe for an overhaul in your opinion? None of them, they are all perfect. While i wouldn't call them perfect, i 'd agree on no radical changes needed. Especially those people who want to tweak the apoc have probably never flown one in combat . It is atm the plattform that keeps amarr competitive for being able to fight up to LR point range of recons against faster gangs. 100% agree. Apoc is honestly the best Amarr BS. Great tank, awesome application, good damage. |

T2 Khanid (torpedo) Abaddon please. Or maybe add another Marauder for each race with more focus on PvP than PvE.
Blaster/Shield marauder for Caldari. Rokh hull, no idea what kind of bonus to give it. Missile+Drone/Armor for Amarr. Abbadon Hull, Neut bonus. Drone/Armor for Gallente. Web strength bonus, Domi hull. Missile/Shield for Minmatar. Target Painting bonus, Typhoon hull. |

Stopped read right there... Maybe if you were literate you would understand that he is right.
PLATES + LASERS = BRAWL is the formula for both.
