Used doesn't feel right but its kind of in the spirit of what I'm looking for, as right now theres no real reason to use any other BC over the Talos except for not being trained enough to use its guns.
Well the talos or the oracle depending on the range you're looking for, but yeah.....
I see no reason to ever fly a hurricane, harbinger, myrm etc. except perhaps for old times sake or because its fun to armor tank. In terms of usability, especially in small-mid sized gangs, any bc tht isn't a t3 bc seems like a waste. |

I enjoy reading how the oracle's cap bonus is "useless." Bunch of idiots, it's probably one of the major downfalls of the oracle. lol |

No. The talos does not need to remove the drones because that is not what the drones do. They don't "blap" jack ****, and chances are they barely have time to even reach the frig and start applying the whopping sub-100 dps before the frig dies. You could happily give drones to all of the t3 bc's and the effect would be the same. They have such amazing dps projection that they will kill most frigs far before their drones can ever reach them to be an issue.
Even if you were to use your 5 hobgobs/warriors against a frig, that was say scramming you, it wouldn't matter because the frig can tank the drones long enough to either kill the drones or kill you with your pitiful tank. In fact it kind of goes to show that you don't know what you're talking about when you talk about damage drones, when anyone with 1/2 a brain will just be using ec-300s anyways, gven that they are the only way that you can hope to run away if you get scrammed.
Again though, the amount of versatility that the drones offer to the talos is fairly minimal.
As has been said time and time again, projecting between 600-1000 dps out to 20-70km in the case of the t3 bc's using short range guns is the real problem. They simply give far too much dps, with an insanely overpowered projection to even be remotely considered balanced. You could nerf the speed down to that of a drake, going 1k/s and it still wouldn't matter for gangs because you are still going to be sitting at between 20-70km projecting insane dps in a ship that costs at most maybe 80-90mil after insurance.
The speed of the t3 bc's helps to exacerbate the problem of the t3 bc's, but the real problem has always and will continue to remain in their damage projection. As I have said before, these changes will do nothing of value to fix them. |
