Yep, Fozzie, Rise and I never talk to each other regarding ship balancing changes, despite the fact we sit 5 meters apart. And besides, nobody cares about Marauders right? But you are right on one point, derailing the thread is bad, my apologies, I'll stop that now. Bad Ytterbium, bad.
5 meters!?! No wonder the ship balancing is all over the place. The optimal range for a Frenchman is 1.13 m with a falloff of 3.13 m. You are balancing well into falloff. This explains a lot. Rise must be sitting the farthest away. |

The damage/rof changes do not offset the 29% reduced damage from losing 2 turrets, and adding 2 completely unbonused launchers isn't that particularly appealing.
It's going from 10.9 effective turrets to 10. However I expect the two utility highs, lower mass and extra resists to more than compensate. 10.9375 to 9.375, please stop rounding numbers so biasedly. :fozzie:

Let's futher talk about the Resistance gaps in Command ships.
The resistance bonus system to command ships really doesn't make much sense
How is it possible that a 20% boost to resistances only provides an average 2.5% reduction in recieved dps from a ship such as the nighthawk compared to a ship such as the Claymore.
Let me explain this more clearly before people bad at math chime in
A ship with a 50% natural resistance taking 100 damage will receive 50 damage
A ship with 50% natural resistance taking 100 damage with a 20% resistance bonus will have 55% resistance, and therefore take 45 damage. That means you really only take a 10% reduction in damage. This goes bad development where devs think % resistance works in some magical fashion rather than realistically. Hence the nerf to 4% per level recently as a compromise to active boosters. Proof the Devs don't know **** about mechanics
The only time a resist bonus actually matters the way the Devs run numbers is when you start at 0% resist across the board. This hardly ever happens as a matter of base statistics on all ships.
Furthering the problem is Tech 2 resistances. A Tech 2 ship with a 20% resist bonus does not actually receive 20% less damage than a comparable tech 1 ship. Instead, it receives 20% less damage than a comparable ship with the same base resistances. 2 totally different mechanics at play.
How is this bad for Tech 2 balance. Well lets further examine the claymore / nighthawk conundrum I posted about earlier.
Claymore without any bonuses has 220 total resist for an average of 55 Nighthawk with bonuses has a 240 total resist for an average of 60% damage reduction
Lets use really lazy math since it provides easy to work with numbers
100 damage applied on the claymore nets 45 damage 100 damage applied on the nighthawk nets 40 damage.
2 ways of looking at this:
Offensively, I have 12.5% more projected damage versus the claymore.*
Defensively, the nighthawk is receiving 8.9% less damage than the claymore.*
*this is a ratio mechanic that causes 2 different values. It seems weird at first until you realize how the wording plays. One is how much more damage is the claymore taking compared to the NH (ratio of C:NH). The other is how much less damage is the Nighthawk taking compared to the Claymore (ratio of NH:C)
Both ways show that in no way do you approach 20% reduced damage, and certainly not higher than 20% reduced damage. However the Developers will try to convince you that this is not true because in Imagination land, they are allowed to assume all resistances are 0 to start with and there's no such thing as diminished returns in EVE.
Fact is, the gaps that Caldari and Gallente have are far inferior to the more spread, resist gap fills of the Amarr and Matar. When you make 2 similar ships with other drastically severe balance problems like the NH and Claymore, this resist gap really shows how bad the balance is.
So glad our developers can post on here how smart they are about their mechanics and how closely they sit to each other in the office to assure us they know what they're doing. Maybe you should learn core mechanics and fundamentals of the game first.
This is just another in a long line of failures. |

Alright, alls good. I'm just getting sick and tired of people calling Fozzie out about this stuff without even checking their math. It's not the first time in the thread it's happened. Someone was claiming the Sleipnir went from 11.666 turrets to 10 as opposed to 11.25. I'm sorta undecided on the changes, though I'm largely becoming happy because of them, but I just can't stand people spreading misinformation about this stuff. |

As much as like like keeping the 10% armor amount bonus, this will do less damage than a sacrelige (499 damn vs 516 sac) For upping the abso's resistances and base armor amount, I just can't see the trade-off. Most of the other CS's look like heavy dps platforms that can also stay on field a little longer, but the Damnation still looks like the sole ship for boosting only. Could we get that 10% damage changed to a ROF bonus? I was really really hoping to have a HAM spewing monster in the new damnation. |

Your math is pretty atrocious.
If you have 50% base resist, and your hull ends up with a 20% bonus to resists, your ship will have a total of 50 + (100-50)*.2 total resist, in this case 60% total resist.
So if you get hit with 100 base damage with just the 50% resist you take 50 damage. If get hit with 100 base damage with 60% reisit you take 40 damage.
It doesn't matter what the base resist is, you will always take 20% less damage. But the effect that has is a 25% boost to survivibility. To illustrate this, take a ship with 500 hp. If you're taking the damage from above with just the base resist it takes 10 seconds to burn through the HP. If you have the extra resist profile it takes 12.5 second, or 25% longer to burn through the same amount of hp.
If you don't understand everything I just said you probably shouldn't be attacking the devs for their understanding of the game mechanics.
I'm Down wrote: How is this bad for Tech 2 balance. Well lets further examine the claymore / nighthawk conundrum I posted about earlier.
Claymore without any bonuses has 220 total resist for an average of 55 Nighthawk with bonuses has a 240 total resist for an average of 60% damage reduction
To bring your attrocious math full circle lets look at just this statement.
Claymore: Base shield resistances (EM/Therm/Kin/Exp): 75 / 60 / 40 / 50 = 225 base resists
Nighthawk: Base shield resistances (EM/Therm/Kin/Exp): 0 / 80(+10) / 70(+7.5) / 50 = 200 base resists
The nighthawk with the 20% resist bonus: EM = 0 + (100-0)*.2 = 20 TH = 80 + (100-80)*.2 = 84 Kin = 70 + (100-70)*.2 = 76 Exp = 50 + (100-50)*.2 = 60 240 total resists
I have no idea what you're trying to say besides this because whatever math you thought was supporting your argument is bad. |

Such as? Are they posting stats while claiming they're completely different? Can you link me to the post where a Dev says that a ship gets 100k EHP but only gets 50k EHP in a maximum tank setup with perfect boosts? Can you share with me the post where a Dev claims that a ship will get 15 effective turrets where it only gets 10?
It's one thing for them to think that things will be fine and post their belief in the matter. It's another to perform the calculations incorrectly and spread incorrect information. |

I'm eyeballing the Eos and the Astarte. There is an issue. The Astarte is potentially a damage monster, ontop of it, it can now fit links (the good ones for Gallente). It now has the potential to outlast a small fight (small to medium fleet fight) due to its ability to repair monkey itself (that with both the NOS changes and the Repairer changes, it could essentially be a endless fight against a Astarte unless you can bring a Substantial amount of DPS to break it. The same could be said about the Damnation but most don't fit repairers on it (cause it makes it lose hit points and has no bonus).
The viable choice is the EOS, but it has also become a possible DPS monster Magnet, having the same tank as the Astarte, but now with Heavy drones that will not Miss, almost always hit for close to if not full damage (even on cruisers and frigates, note the alpha of sentry drones on Dominix's in the tournament), and ontop of that, now has turrets that will pretty much never miss either. The EOS has the potential to be a Dominix on the Field, that can repair itself, launch a full fight of super tracking heavies, boost the group and do damage if brawling.
Giving one of the ships extra resists would be... well a bit crazy.
(I'm being frank I would love to get the Amarr resists on gallente ships but the repairing bonus would be overkill). Not all fights are 100 Vs, 100, sometimes is 20 vs 20, or 40 vs 40.
