The Maller needs a damage bonus. 5% dmg, 5% armor res per level -1 high +1 med. Or 5% assault missile dmg 5% armor res per level. AND some light drones in either case. The ship is incredibly bad with cruiser sized lasers in its current form.
Prophecy needs similar treatment. |

The tier system has NEVER worked properly. It was supposed to give us the choice between good, expensive hulls and cheaper hulls with less performance. T2 modules and drones as well as rigs made it so that the more expensive ship has nearly always the better performance versus cost ratio.
In other words, the tier system is completely obsolete and responsible for lack of variation in ships being used. Instead of giving us choices, it takes them away. |

Cyclone and Canes..
Its true i fly more Canes than Cyclones, but i disagree that the cane are so much better, for some purpose the cyclone are a hell lot better and to half the price.
15m, 30m and 54m (Cyclone, Hurricane, Tornado)
Calculate the prices after fitting t2 mods and t1 rigs and insurance payout. You'll find that the more costly hull is usually the cost effective one which is the opposite of what the tier system should supposedly achieve.
As for the cyclone, you're right. Some ships are worth flying despite belonging to a lower tier. But many more ships are NOT worth flying only because they belong to a lower tier. As a whole the system doesn't work. and I would argue that the Hurricane is still better than the Cyclone overall.
Edit: also, the Cyclone has one extra high slot over the other tier 1 BCs, and the Brutix (the other low tier BC that is actually used) has one extra turret which brings both a little closer to their tier 3 counterparts than the Prophecy and Ferox are. In my opinion this supports the notion that the tier system causes ships to be underused the further away they are from the top tier ship in terms of performance. |
