Only just noticed the Raven losing drone bandwidth. Really? That's not necessary,

What did you do with the extra bandwidth? It changes literally nothing; you can still run a complete flight of medium or light drones. Unless you were... Using heavy drones for some reason? Even though five mediums do more damage than that and are faster, IIRC.

btw CCP
considering most caldari ships shield tank it is odd that they need to have such a high sig radius to begin with.....??/

Why is it odd? It's supposed to be a racial theme, in the same way that many Amarr ships are really slow even before slapping trimarks and plates on. Giving them small sigs that are then bloomed by rigs/extenders to intermediate levels is just a method of homogenisation across races. Don't go down that route, keep distinct racial advantages and disadvantages.

That is not entirely true, lots of armor ships are faster than Caldari ships as a base hull and there are several ships that have bigger sig rating as a base hull.

the oracle is faster than the Naga and the Talos has a bigger sig rating than the Naga as a base, this patern is found through out the shiplines

Though the Mega has a smaller sig than the Raven and the Apoc is just as fast as the Raven.

there seems an inconsistancy here.

It doesnt matter what he did with the extra bandwidth. Changes nothing then why do it? It actually changes ,it is another unneded nerf for caldari.

So I'm wondering....why is the caldari thread about 1/2-1/4 the length of the other races?

Have the caldari boats landed well, or is it simply less people fly them in anger so there are fewer voices commenting?

Arguably, the Caldari battleships (especially the Raven) are almost the worst off. The reason I think nobody is voicing their opinions is, I'm pretty sure, that everyone who 'cares' has no problems with this because it barely effects the Raven's PvE capabilities, and as a result, the PvE near-bots who would be flying all of these ravens in L4s really have nothing to say.

And then the Raven was still somewhat subpar for PvP even though it's in a slightly better position than before. Not enough has been done to address it's problems.

Just a heads up, but no one will stop using the Rokh because of a 5% EHP nerf. Or the Drake, come to that.

Hope this helped you more than hyperbole is helping your credibility.

Scorpion is worthless despite changes due to problems with ECM mechanics.

Rohk is getting nerf with respect to tank which is one of the only things going for it.

However, nobody really flies Caldari for PvP. Therefore, there is less of the hell-brimstone as with Amarr. There are just fewer people that care.

The Naga is alright but the Talos can still snipe just not as far but still provide superior dps and a set of small drones to help fend off frigs.
Once you hit 150km out, probers will have you scanned down in seconds and its over. The Talos can easily snipe that distance if needed.

Hey there,
wanted to make following Suggestions for the Bonuses of Caldari ships:

Raven: (not touching her, think the bonuses are fine)

Rokh:
+10% optimal Range/level
+5% Large Hybrid WEapon damage

or:
-2 Turrets
+10% optimal Range/level
+10% Large Hybrid Weapon Damage
________________________________

Scorpion:
6 Turrets
+5%/level Large Hybrid Weapon Damage /Rate of fire (choose one)
+4%/level Shield Resistance (5% would be my aim, but you wanted to change the resistance bonuses)
Role Bonus: 50% increased ECM Range

What do you guys think?

have a nice day

Jitoru

and yet it's the naga that fills that role, not the Talos. All those silly people getting it wrong. They should just listen to you instead.

Not many people fly them anymore. The Raven was used for pve because it was garbage for pvp while the Rokh gets some use in pvp. The drake used to be the most common pvp ship because it was noob friendly and heavy missiles though sucky in dps, could be projected for awesome range, the weapon system took a nerf bat and now it no longer is number 1.

Goonswarm found use in the drake and took it from a seldom used pvp ship to a giant ball of caldari death, because of this, and with their numbers it worked well for them. Then a bunch of cry babies complained how the drake was over powered yet it had not been touched by the devs for years and when creativity came about it suddenly became unfair.

Falcon has limited use, and though caldari has a few decent frig hulls, they are still lacking compared to others.

So thats pretty much it.

Dont ask about caldari Hac's, they are the worst in game and undocking in an Eagle will either get you laughed at because will think you are joking about bringing it to fleet or they will just outright kick you for trying to use it.

I'm fine with the scorpion but in your case with the rohk, the Hyperion would need a slightly higher damage increase per level to distinguish the ships to their intended roles.

True, but certainly for the drake, that is /nothing/ to do with the resists and everything to do with how much it overshadows the crappy ferox. The is broadly true for the rokh too.
