This is another one of those top line metrics that can't be trusted for overall game tuning. It has the same problems as above, except instead of looking at raw damage you're looking at kills (an improvement, at least). We still haven't broken it out by location, timezone, security status, weapon type, or fleet size. Another problem with this is particular site is that it's exceptionally deceptive due to the multiplicative effect of how it counts fleet kills.

WOW... way to **** the Megathron. Also the Hyperion is lacking in PG and cap recharge adding a low slot helps with the tank but it is still an inferior ship. So instead of fixing two BS's that are good you guys give us another mediocre Hyperion and completely nullify the Megathron for anything but a shield tank.
The Dominx.. well nice changes. This ship is now a pure pve boat, and just a mini slowcat I'm cool with that i guess. |

I think that, while the intent of the changes are heartfelt and decent, how they were executed leaves something to be desired. Before going into details I would like to say that to my knowledge, this is the first time since Inferno that an armor tanked ship has been specifically suggested in a rebalance thread to be flown as a shield ship. While there is nothing wrong with suggesting it from an after the fact "here's a setup that could work" style, you have suggested it in the initial core design concept. You made yourself famous, in part, by not sticking with whatever the ship was "designed" to do and making your own unique setups based on creativity in the fitting. What astounds me the most is that you are giving it the same mid-low slot layout as the Hyperion while at the same time changing the Hyp by saying that it isn't good enough at brawling, how then do you expect the Mega to do the same thing WITHOUT a rep bonus? My suggesting would be to leave the 7th slot low and let players make up their own minds in it's current form when.
Hyperion:
This change will work wonders with the single rep versions by granting resists and room for more DPS. Triple rep version is totally out and dual rep version will be unlikely with out the extra mid I fear. As has been also mentioned, I don't think it will find much use in fleets without either having the rep bonus be for both received and local reps while also not having a turret bonus that is useful for range (optimal, tracking, falloff, etc). For changes, I would suggest either a larger rep bonus (assuming that most of the changes stay as they are) or granting a vastly increased cap and cap recharge. I think that would go a long way towards helping with all of the "need more boosters" concerns.
Mega:
As expressed above I think the current line of thinking is terrible. You want to give it more mids for dual propping or shield tanking but only give it 25 more CPU. You want to make it a larger version of the Talos but only give a minor speed bonus and no mass reduction. I do like the ROF bonus, but without addressing the above concerns, I doubt it will do much good.
Dominix:
Once again my beloved drone boats are getting "buff...NERFED!" One of the few redeeming qualities of the dominix was flexibility, you could have a viable blaster focused, drones focused or even a neut focused, ship. With the changes, I like how you want to make the drone race a pure drone battleship. That said, I think you should also give your preliminary thoughts on the sentry changes since you are expressly stating that is how you think they would be viable as a fleet ship. I would also like to point out that because sentries are so vulnerable to a firewall BS, the ability to completely remove a fleets DPS should be countered by said ship having something to fall back on, which ironically, you HAVE given to the Amarr: a neut bonus. Even if the geddon loses all it's drones it can still be useful in the fleet. Without a hybrid bonus, and assuming I'm fitting the domi for drones (i.e. drone damage augmentors, drone range, etc.) then I will likely be missing a turret and have no magstabs or anything else with which to boost my turret potential. Thus my turret damage will be anemic at best, irrelevant at worst.
My thoughts to fix this, currently without knowing the sentry rebalance thoughts, would be to either A: make the domi a PURE drone boat; remove the turrets, give it a larger damage bonus, give it a larger drone bay and throw in another low and mid slot for tankability or B: give it another useful role in fleet warfare. EWAR (could be anything from ECM to point range), remote assistance via reps or some other fleet bonus, SOMETHING to give it something to do when the inevitable firewall kill off all the drones. In no other weapons system can a foe specifically eliminate your DPS without requiring warfare on your ship. As such, if you want to make this, as stated, a sentry/drone fleet doctrine, there needs to be something giving it a fair shot at doing so. |

I do understand some statistics... I understood the comment as meaning that I had guessed wrongly about where all the damage is coming from.
For further sake of argument - Hyp is number 3 for pvp damage over the last 150 days. I know how many beers you drink, trust me!

Hey Rise,
Ok, that's great. Again, top line metrics are somewhere between misleading and dangerously misleading. Have you broken this down into regions, sec statuses, fleet sizes, or any other kinds of metrics? Have you excluded damage that didn't result in a kill? Have you excluded structures?

The only way I can imagine such a token ship, "Ohhh look a Hyperion!", being number three in pvp damage over the last 150 days, is if you have all the CONCORD ships accidentally tied into the Hyperion stats. |

For the love of god, please get rid of the active armor rep bonus on the hyperion already, it is marginally used in very specific situations and is sub-par with all the other armor tanked ships. It's a great looking ship i always wanted to fly, give it a proper bonus.
Also, not only you did not fix the hyperion, now you ****** the megathron aswell. Make at least one ship on the gallente line-up viable for large fleets. If you started adding mids, you might just aswell add another so we can properly shield tank it.
As for the Domi, who in his right mind would fly a potato when one of the best looking ships in game does exactly the same thing (geddon).

As a huge Megathron enthusiast, I'm....
...not sure how I feel about this! I like the idea that you're giving more ships the ability to use MJD, as the Megathron sorely lost out on that due to the 'necessary' mids (Point, web, mwd cap booster) along with the fact it's more mobile. I'll be interested to see how it actually goes with armour honeycombing etc.
I don't think it'll help it out in big fleet doctrines, but then not every ship SHOULD be made to fit big fleet doctrines. Got to say though, losing that 7th low is going to hurt, as the lower drone DPS combined with the removal of a (likely) damage mod will bring it's damage down, and that's where the Megathron shone. The wonderful glass canon.
I'd flat out say that given the 125 drone bay/bandwidth back, this would be a fantastic ship for solo and small gang. Maybe even 150, so you can carry a round of lights, too. Remember, it's still paper thin. Oh and to hell with the launcher, nobody should care. ;)

Well let me put it another way. While statistics are all fun and dandy, they can't be used to paint an accurate picture of the situation. You can sue statistics to help, but they can't be the end all fact to push an issue in any given direction. To get a clear picture of the situation you have to follow what people are using as the norm.
You may not have the luxury as a developer to enjoy as much pvp experience as some of us players do. I personally have the luxury to be apart of a few alliances and have been for years. There has never been a single doctrine or fleet setup in any of them that included the Megathron for years. In just about every situation there is a better choice. The guys that usually fly it are the ones who can't fly the main choice, or because they just want to be in a ship they find pretty.
You asked what role we wanted for the Megathron? We want our old badass, in your face, punch swinging, beer guzzling, woman harassing, FREEDOM yelling, Pimpthron back. We don't want to be the retarde.d cousin that was brought along out of pitty.
EDIT: Since when did you guys filter out the word "Retarde.d"

I don't like the changes to the Hyperion at all.. It all but ruins every useful fit.
It's poor at missions, and poor at 1v1.. It's only useful in fleets with support, and now it loses mids that it needs for those rolls..
It makes it useless for Incursions, and **** poor for PvP fleets.
How about you just leave the Hype alone, until you are willing to fix active armor tanking, or drop that bonus outright for something useful. |

Yes, what a lovely number it makes in the "Show info" window.
Of course, to actually HIT anything out at that range, you'd need several Drone Link Augmentors (4, I think), and since the Dominix has a base targeting range of 70km, you'll need to fit 2 Sensor Boosters with targeting range scripts, or a few signal amplifiers.
So, wow, after using 4 high slots and 3 mid slots (or 1 mid and 3-4 lows), you can finally target and hit something at 150km. Oh and then you'll be doing kinetic damage, in fairly low amounts.

No. Every time a (decent) Mega pilot puts something that isn't a DPS drone in its bay, they get a horrible sinking feeling in their heart. |

CCP Rise wrote:Quote:But do you hear us about the general problem with Gallente ships being in last place in terms of use in pvp? As there is a reason they have been in last place for years. I can tell you from looking at internal metrics that this simply isn't true. For instance, for the last 5 days - the Hyperion has literally done the most combat damage to other player ships (for a tech 1 bs). The MOST. Now there may be a weird reason for this (I imagine its something to do with shield tanked ones on station undocks), but the point is that such a general declaration is unfounded.
I've been playing for about 2 years, i can count on two hands how many times i've seen a Hyperion in a pvp fleet. And when i did it was a kitchen sink fleet. To be fair i have even used a Hyperion but because i love how it looks and i knew i was flying an inferior ship. I rarely see this ship anywhere high-sec,low-sec, null-sec.
Now my observations obviously are trumped by your metrics but like you said if they are among the highest damage dealers to other ships perhaps you should find out why.... These are Shield tanked Hyperions sitting on gates or stations. These ships discard the rep bonus and go full gank. You need to decide what would make this rep bonus work for PVE and or PVP. As it stands now it is NOT viable for pve as blasters do not have the required range, and rails are outperformed by sentries via the dominx. It also does not have the cap to even run the guns stable. And for pvp the rep bonus is just sub par.
Exchange the rep bonus for an armor amount bonus Until you figure it out.. 7.75% more armor HP's per level. Problem solved.
So the 1 purpose this ship has you actually nerfed. 5 mids allowed a descent shield tank and speed mod, with 6 lows more than enough for damage and tracking mods. SO i guess with 4 mids we can have a pathetic tank in exchange for 50 more dps... yay. |

Hyperion cannot realise it's potential currently with the poor powergrid it has. Unless you increase that to allow the option of higher tier guns witht the dual tank then it remains very poor.
Whilst I like the idea of 5 mids / 6 lows for the megathron I'm not sure if it'll work. Losing that low for a ship that typically armour buffer tanks could be a deal breaker. I'll have to fly this one before I could really say.
The dominix looks awesome.
One big question, not just limited to the Gallente BS - Why are you still maintaining a distinction for the sensor strengths of these ships? That should be one of the first things out the door with tiericide imo. Bump them all up to the current tier 3 level and bring more distinction between BS and BC. |
