I think that's the point and the difference between a gallente hybrid boat and a Caldari one. The gallente boat is designed to be strapped with blasters hence falloff and tracking bonuses while the Caldari boats are designed for rails and hence get optimal bonuses |

The gallente boat is designed to be strapped with blasters hence falloff and tracking bonuses while the Caldari boats are designed for rails and hence get optimal bonuses The deimos is quite clearly NOT designed to be strapped with blasters.. Its pretty awful at it. Not that its amazing at rails, like trouser said, its fittings can't accommodate armor tanking and rails. Also its slow.. Bringing us back to the Why the **** is the Vaga so fast compared to the deimos thing.
I don't fly HACs so I could be completely wrong here, but the description of the Deimos specifically says and I quote, "The Deimos represents the final word in up and close personal cruiser combat." Therefore, yes the Deimos is designed to be strapped with blasters. It may be awful at it, but that's a discussion for a different thread.

People seem to have issues with the T3 BC. But honestly, aren't they just less tanky battleships? All of their damage numbers should be similar to that of a battleship and they should be much easier to kill thanks to their weak tanks. So what am I missing that they are seen as over powered? |
