There's a good reason you don't see Ravens in pvp. There's a good reason the cavalry Raven doesn't exist anymore (and hasn't for years and years and years). Unless you make it possible to apply around 65-80% of torp dps to a cruiser moving around 400-500 m/s, torp battleships will not happen.
Let the phoon be the odd man out with the dual weapon bonus, like the scorp is the odd man out with the ecm bonus. Or give it a web range bonus if you insist on the ******** notion of making it a torp boat.
Your redesigned phoon is worse in every way compared to the current phoon.
Hey- the Typhoon's still better than the goddamn Raven, even with it's new stats.
If you want to see a truly awful ship, point yourself in the direction of the Caldari battleship thread. The only changes the Raven has received have been cuts to tank, cuts to drone quantity... And for what? 19 more meters per second, another med slot and a 1.1 second reduction in align time.
At least the Typhoon has a ******* explosion velocity bonus. |

Perhaps if you sounded like less of a petulant child your request would be considered in a more serious fashion.
On topic, I personally see no glaring issues with the new Minmatar battleship lineup save for the Typhoon suddenly turning into an armor raven, which is pretty much a nerf into uselessness. Which should be addressed. |

Zarnak Wulf wrote:It isn't too hard to rearrange a Typhoon to shield tank or to give it the fittings to fit X-LASB. 7-7-5 or 7-6-6 are the only options. But a Typhoon vs Raven comparison would be tank vs range. - as it is in comparisons with other ship classes between the two races.
And then the Raven would lose because it has both no tank and less ability to hit smaller targets, whereas the Typhoon is an XLASB monstrosity with explosion velocity bonused missiles. I don't support the new Typhoon being a shield ship, because it WILL overpower the Raven in almost every forseeable circumstance. I don't want a weak Typhoon; I want one that is still quite competent, but differentiated from the Raven, so that perhaps both of them have reasons for you to look into flying one in a variety of situations. Not just "Eugh, **** the Raven, go buy a Typhoon, don't ever even think about touching Faildari again, Winmatar forever". |
