Fronkfurter McSheebleton Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 9	Posted - 2011.10.27 12:12:00 - [31] - Quote Agreed, web range would be a much better tool for a blaster boat, though 90% webs are quite nice on the occasion that you actually manage to catch something.
Naomi Knight Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 0	Posted - 2011.10.27 12:38:00 - [32] - Quote No way , gall already has the dominix which is very close to being a bc itself , i think new tier 3 bc would cost around tier 1 bs cost , so what would be the difference between this and a domi ? Very little ,so why to make a new class just for that? It should be a heavily hybrid oriented ship without drones.
X Gallentius Quantum Cats Syndicate 26	Posted - 2011.10.27 15:28:00 - [33] - Quote Nah, until they improve drones let's stick to the proposed omgwtfpwn boat called the Talos. I'd like to own at least one Gallente ship that can nano around the battlefield with the rest of my fleetmates and not feel like a cripple.
Boodreau The Elysian Horde Elysian Empire 0	Posted - 2011.10.27 16:00:00 - [34] - Quote They just unvailed some pictures of the Talos. Eve Gate home page, bottom left, there is a link for it. It is described as "smaller, more expendable vindicator". I know it looks really good.

bloomeh Ghost Militia BricK sQuAD. 0	Posted - 2011.10.28 08:00:00 - [37] - Quote I wouldn't have a problem with it being a drone boat with 125. Give it a bonus to heavy drone dmg and a bonus to sentry range to compete with the others. With a flight of ogre IIs it would do mean close range damage and with a flight of T2 sentries it could hit decent sniper range and do mean damage. It's an idea anyways. Just because it's not how you would play it doesn't mean it's fail folks. It just means it is a different play style than you play.

Very little ,so why to make a new class just for that? It should be a heavily hybrid oriented ship without drones. Essentially because everyone else is getting them. Plus, while the Domi is cheap, its not exactly fast, and its not an ideal roamer outside of R/R BS gangs or the ever-lovable neut-you-hell fit. I'd seriously laugh my ass off the first nano-domi I killed. From the test server changes Talos only has a 25m3 drone bay, so that is 5 lights, period. Gallente have plenty of drone boats, If I wanted to rely on drones (which I certainly don't) I'd just fly an Ishkur or Ishtar. However tackling people and waiting for your drones to catch up sucks, so I rarely fly non-bait plated ships with heavy drones.
Barbelo Valentinian The Scope Gallente Federation 101	Posted - 2011.10.28 18:47:00 - [39] - Quote I think the Talos should have one of them CPU reduction bonuses for Drone Control Units so it can fit up to two Drone Control Units if it wants to. That would be fun.
Calapine Xeno Tech Corp Flatline. 6	Posted - 2011.10.28 23:26:00 - [40] - Quote Disagree (sorry!). A Talos as blaster-gank-BC fits much better into the glasscannon theme CCP has chosen for the new Tier 3s. Myrmidon on the other hand could need a little tweak. It's a rather good ship, the problem is it plays in the same category as the very good Hurricane or Drake. A little more drone bandwidth (lets say 100 m/bit) would go a long way. Cala

Leo Hornet Brutor Tribe Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2011.10.28 23:33:00 - [41] - Quote Shadowsword wrote: Hestia Mar wrote: Bearing in mind that Gallente boats are generally drone boats, the new BC should be a Command Ship with drone bonuses - either more drones available (7 instead of 5), or bonuses to drone range and damage...and fleet bonuses so that a gang of Vexors or Myrms would have a raison d'etre. There would be no reason Gallente to design a new BC with a weaker tank, and not increase the effects of drones which are their main weapons. Flame away... H Every other BC will be able to fit for firing at 15km or 150+km, and you want to pigeon-hole the gallente BC to close range. Sound great...not. Hmm, what if said BC bonus extended to Sentrys. Range, ROF and Damage bonuses would be pretty nasty. A group of them dropping sentry drones and hitting you from 100Km would be pretty mean. Aka MiniDomi.
Tyberius Franklin Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 5	Posted - 2011.10.29 00:57:00 - [42] - Quote Given that these are, if I read correctly, supposed to be weak against smaller ships, a drone bonus works against that. It surprises me that the initial build had any drones at all. The web bonus seems wrong as well. 10%/lvl seems too strong for a T1 ship that is supposed to be weak against it's smaller counterparts.
Desudes Pixelmoon The Star League 8	Posted - 2011.10.29 02:20:00 - [43] - Quote If you give it sentry bonuses you become stationary dps, unless you want a frig to waltz over and pop your dps. What you can do, on the other hand, is please give the proteus 25 more bandwidth, give the Eos 125 bandwidth plus dmg bonus, don't touch the Myrm and for god sakes keep the Talos rolling around with 8 hybrids (tracking bonus instead of web bonus so rails are benefitted would stand to reason but I'll take either!). FOR THE DESU!!!
Dalloway Jones Republic Military School Minmatar Republic 44	Posted - 2011.10.29 03:12:00 - [44] - Quote The Gallente BC line already has a drone boat with the Myrmidon. I would guess that the Talos will have a bigger or slightly better drone bay than the other 3 races new BC's but it won't be a drone boat.
