loss of the launcher slot for those of us who wanted to go pure DPS

Can you do the scenario again with the ECM. I always wondered what it would be like...

So we're back to plating the ship with an active tank bonus?

I think instead CCP should just integrate a repair bonus into a new rig module so that any armor pilot can choose to enhance his or her active tank if that suits his or her playstyle.

Just watch Out! Ccp Rise has his nerf bat out and that Ishtar of yours looks like a juicy target.

Yeah, lets not balance a ship around available content... With this argument, we may as well balance everything with t1.

If you're having cpu issues, just like the mega and geddon have had in the past, go and fit a c-type adaptive instead of a t2 eanm. It pretty much solves the problem. If you're afraid of risking a "cheap" dead space module then go ahead and fit a co-proc.

I think the revisions are a step in the right direction and I definitely appreciate the re-tweak.

However, did you actually nerf the Hyperion's damage by taking it from 8 turrets with a 5% per level damage bonus to 6 turrets with a 10% per level damage bonus?

(8*1.25) vs. (6*1.5)

Am I missing something?

festive launcher can only be put on a missile hard point...

Just ran the number on the new Hyperion... With Damnation and Exile boosters you are looking at 1079 DPS and a 2673 DPS tank, unheated without capacitor issues.

Seems a high to me even faction fit...

Obviously not everyone would fit it this way but its a monster... It makes my PVP Navy Scorp fit with similar mods look like a toy.

It is possible to strategically reposition your self to be close to your drones at the end of the fight, even just to make a BM where you drop them so you can on-grid warp back to them.

If only the ship got a bonus to extend its control range.

Well forgive me for thinking out side the box and make the most of what the ship has to offer.

What? what does a DLA do? it extends the drone control range of the ship by 20k to a t1 and 24k for a t2, a ship bonus to replicate that exact same thing would be extremely beneficial to the new Dominix.

okay you're literally asking for a bonus that doesn't exist on any other ship save for carriers, where it only applies to fighters

hope this helps!

Silly, Omnathious Deninard, Goons don't fly that!

It's also a HAC, not a T1 ship

a bonus that doesn't exist on any other ship save for carriers, where it only applies to fighters

BC were not in the game at the start... read the whole sentence.

Then, I merely point out that 1) there are other ships that share the bonus, and 2) there are T1 hulls that share that trait.

Talkign about the megatrhon bonus.. taht was added taht time. Provign that it was made exaclty to hit cruisers.

Slot layout: 8H(+0), 5M, 6L(+0); 8 turrets , 1 launchers

Scrambler in the enemy ship and you can forget the MWD.

I'm sorry Grendell but the web strength bonus is the most powerful bonus in the entire game (aside from links), giving it to an insurable T1 BS would completely upset the game balance. Perhaps not in nullsec, but certainly everywhere else.

0.08707 of tracking. Seems enough to me.

I wouldn't fly it like that, but the guy I was showing it to was making 1k DPS setups.

Personally, I'd give it a balanced 5 low + DC tank. Treat it like a fleet tank, because those tanks are beefy as hell and have a good resist profile. Blasters give it enough CPU to actually do that.

The sad thing is the fleet setup's rails eat up all that CPU, and force you to use ANPs, which are impossible to overheat and slot inefficient. If the Mega had 600 base CPU it would be an extremely competitive fleet ship. Right now it is competitive in every realm but tank.

Dominix needs a bigger drone bay because, as of now, there is no way to repaid damaged drones in your drone bay without docking or getting rr-s out. Drones are their life and so a bigger drone bay is required.

A friggin Gila has a bigge drone bay.

What.
