Judging by this topic you are either wrong or most of them are to ashamed of themselves to publicly admit such a sin  ------------------

Originally by: Soulie Is there a chance it can get a AfterBurner bonus instead of the MWD...
Only reason is that nobody use i for pvp.. and complex/deadspace dont allow MWD's...
all agree?
I wouldn't mind keeping the present bonus when a MWD is on and adding a +5% per level speed bonus when an AB is on. Other than that it's good as it is (though about 1-2% more CPU and Power would be nice).

why would you use a faction bs for npcing. Like it isnt easy enough already with regular vanilla bses..... in pvp however bonuses and extra slots/hp give you a nice advantage over people. and 600mil is not exatly super expensive.

Originally by: Thomas Torquemada If all you do is simple deadspace stuff or complex's why would you use or risk a vindicator in the first place over a normal megathron.
doesnt matter if its pvp or in a complex/pve'ing the ship is at risk, that 600+mil can go bang just as easily in pvp as it can in pve.
i disagree - pve action is much more predictable than pvp... most of the time
Ever heard of the "lag beast"? Many times have I been taken unawares whilst npcing. Would be nasty to lose a 600mil ship to lag and remember Athene say "**** happens!".

Originally by: Gabriel Karade Sorry but your idea is terrible.
Afterburners and blasters don't mix, sure you light up like a Christmas tree when you burst fire your MWD, but at least you will get into contact with the enemy.
The Vindicator bonus is awesome; awesome to the point where you can start to think about non-cap booster setups with high skills.
i said replace the MWD bonus with a AB bonus. it can be speed or cap...
Unless you make the ship 2x as fast as a normal megathron when using an AB then its a pointless exercise.
If you really want to take your Vindicator into deadspace stick 425mm's and an AB on it (using that extra mid-slot) and pick apart the aggro groups from range.
There's more to Eve than just deadspace you know...

Yeah i guess i will have to go for long range... but that's not what this thread is about - I want it to be a better blaster ship

DoH.. dont you understand that if the Vindicator gets a AB bonus it will probably be speed... and last time i checked AB's are nicer to cap.. so actually it will be better (and from my point of view more useful )

Lag beast? never heard of it.. only makes me wonder if you have tried... 1) upgrade your computer 2) send a petition to CCP

You don't realize that an MWD on a Vindicator works like a +15% capacitor battery? AB is nicer on capacitor? Not really. (This at level 5 Gal BShip)
Also, you fit MWD because you need to get into possition. For the AB to be a valid replacement the AB bonus would have to be in the region of +40% per Gal BShip level (for a total speed boost of 300% to 400% at level 5 and dependent on AB used). This is not really balanced for anything but a guaranteed BLASTERicator, and even then it's a bit over the top. If you fit it with railguns you'll have a very overpowered ship. The reason is the sig penalty of the MWD.
Face it, the Thorax hulls, and the Vindicator are PvP ships, not PvE ships.
Don't fight in Jita. That system is bugged to hell and back. The most unusual things can happen there. |

You just don't get it do you? It already is the supreme blaster ship, getting rid of the MWD bonus for an AB one would would make it worse (it would be too slow, and it would lose the extensive capacitor benefit)

I'm not allowed to post killmails, but if you go to our killboard (coalition.killboard.net/?p=ship&s=Vindicator) and serch for the Vindicator by ship type, you'll see we do have those in PvP. That particular ship record isn't pretty for us, though. Also, do the same for 5, bob (killboard.net/?p=ship&s=Vindicator), etc. you'll find quite a few of these rarities having been lost and killed. Granted, some were forced into PvP, but that's EVE. Far from all PvP Apocs choose to PvP - they were forced to.

Originally by: Soulie using a 600 mill BS for pvp is crazy! and i'm not counting the equippment cost - i doubt these "many people" are a big percentage of the total number of Vindicator pilots... can Vindicator pilots pls say something here too.. thanks
What else is there to use it for?
Oh and about afterburner bonus... why? It's not like AB is cap hungry. MWD on the other hand is, and its needed in pvp.

Edited by: The Hanz on 30/10/2005 11:17:26 I don't agree with what the original idea was, but if you want it to work for both worlds you could give a 5% bonus to capacitor capacity per level of Minmatar BS thus effectively doing the same thing but giving you an advantage if you don't us an MWD.....but I do like the bonuses as it is.
