Who here loves their Sleipnir, I mean really loves it?
It took a long time to find out how great this ship was, and now that I use it I canGÇÖt imagine playing the game without it. With the ability to tank PVP and PVE, to look at a gate camp and actually have the ability to make a decision to hit them rather than run, for linking the fit to friends when they ask what should they fly and why, yes it is or was the end all/be all of cruiser sized hulls.
But soon it will be nerfed into the scrap pile; losing 15m3 of drone space, no big deal; adding 25km of targeting range, didnGÇÖt need it Autocannons donGÇÖt care if you can lock that far out; But losing 2 turrets, 160pg and 50 cpu is a deathknell for me.
My old Sleip did 950 DPS, could tank 2000dps for 60 seconds. The new one will barely scrape 700 and change DPS and the tighter PG and CPU will make the ASB tank even tighter to fit on a ship that had only .5 cpu left in the first place.
So there goes another great ship to the scrap yard for the sake of balance.

Now just give it a Hurricane hull and we're good to go! I wear my goggles at night.

7 turrets * 4/3 RoF bonus * 5/4 damage bonus = 35/3 effective turrets (11.67)
5 turrets * 3/2 damage bonus * 3/2 damage bonus = 45/4 effective turrets (11.25)
Net difference: 5/12 effective turrets (.42), a 3.6% loss in DPS.
Note that with arties getting a straight 10% RoF bonus the Sleip in that configuration actually gains ~8% DPS.
Edit: still pretty pissed about the presumably impending hull switch though; I'll give you that. |

OP pls quit panick mode. Dps wise you get 3% less dps (put a hardwiring in and you are set lol) and you win the abolity to boost your gang or use various utility mods at the same time.
The fittings are lost because of the two less turrets you have to fit...
EDIT: About the hull switch (if and when) I would expect after the cane nerf tens of thousands of cane addicts on TQ would be rejoicing... go figure... |

Not yet - Fozzie said so in the CS thread a couple of days back. Frankly, I'm torn about the CS changes. On the one hand, there's Sleipnir, which I've come to adore, on the other there's the other three, which will look great in their new hulls. 3/4 = change all, I guess. But then the sacrifice is Sleipnir... doh. Ideally, they'd all get unique models instead. |

@OP you may use it like this (and many others do too) but I am pointing out that heavily increased aptitude ina role tha will beocme a must have for fleets and small gang in the coming months might be a fair trade for the -3% dps that I am sure you will find a way to survive.
If anything think of the poor Astarte thats losing a lot more dps afaik and whats an Astarte without its dps???? a gimick Sleipnir-without-a-booster diemost... |

(a) You gain a lot of grid, you lose a bit of cpu
(b) Try it with arties now (trust me they will be a LOT more used in the future) and report results again.
Tbh I would consider a bog standard tech II X-L sb these days... they are getting 30% more boost ... which is like 45% more if you factor in the amp many people allready use, and you ll be able to run it for more than 60 seconds... I sometimes camp a quite low sec system near my base and in the last 4-5 months there is a proliferation of XL ASB and dual XL ASB Sleipnirs suiciding on our camps (2 people with 3-4 hull camps not gang camped gates)... they are our comic relief if you like... |

Darling Hassasin,
I use it as a solo brawler, I run low sec sites and chase gate campers into the dark (When I don't get caught being overconfident with bait) :D So arties will be kinda useless for brawling, and the tracking problem with arties makes them less than desirable.
I know it's not the end of the world, I am not crying in my coffee, I just keep dumping ships back on the market thanks to tieracide and this one is just really hard to let go.

7 * 5/4 * 5/4 = 175/16 = 10.9375
5 * 11/8 * 8/5 = 11
Astrate is gaining very slightly in the effective turret department. |

Yay. Finally word of some sort. Rather missed that one.
But still, that's a "yet". So I guess it'll happen SoonGäó anyhow. |

Why let it go? According to EFT after 1.1 it will do 817 dps vs. 971 before patch. And omni tank actually goes up from 1292 to 1481. Oh and you will need 1% CPU implant to fit your fit. |

Thinking about command ships now :D But man all those fleet charisma skills... Want all of it -- Command Ships, Black Ops, HACs, CovOps. IDK it seems like the times I really needed that 130 DPS, (Hope you and my math is wrong and Zhillia's is right cause 130dps loss is certainty more than the 3.6% Zillia predicted) it was a make it or break it moment so I would hate to be in some of the close calls I had without it. Of course your right it will have more tank but for the burst rig I was running if I hadn't won in 2 to 3 minutes I set loose the ECM drones and warped out, with the ASB overheated I get 2 to 3 minutes (Pulsing as needed) fighting time, more tank and less DPS just gives the Bait ship time to let it's friends arrive.
Minmtar has always been gank and speed over tank IMO, so taking away my gank and adding more tank feels ...well it feels wrong.

Personally I don't care what hull they use, when it comes down to it every ship is just a point in space with given attributes. That being said when I first got in my Sleip I didn't like the looks but it grew on me and now I kind of like it the way it is. But the StarWars shaped wedge always make the ship feel stronger. :)

AH yes, this EFT math may be wrong since 1.1 changes are in data files that some dude made available on fail-heap. He might got something wrong or old. Time will tell.
Edit: Oh and, every shield booster and armor repairer gets a buff except for ASBs. So yeah, you setup was nerfed pretty hard if you were ganking self-rep targets. Doesn't mean it won't work or be imbalanced after a patch, but still. |

Someone has said it before on these forums but I can't for the life of me find it.
If any Minmatar command ships are getting a hull it swap it needs to be the claymore, why?
It looks like a claymore
For people who point out the obvious, the hurricane uses ac's and the cyclone uses missiles so the the sleipnir should be changed i would argue that why not add some variety, that way whatever you want to fire, guns or missiles you can choose your prefered hull, skill points allowing of course.

Been 5 months since they introduced the Minmi Missile boats but I still haven't got used to Minmi running around pretending to be Caldari.

If you're going to start a thread that boils down to a stealth e-peen strokefest about how you bust gatecamps solo in your Sleipnir, it would have more credibility with a KB to back it up. Otherwise, you end up looking like just another PVE-lord with EFT and wet dreams. |

Sorry you feel that way, I have enough friends and already to many enemies that know my characters names, not about to add to that list for your edifications. I know KB's and Ego feed half the trolls in the forums I choose not to feed them anymore.
And I really think it is be a bad idea to link a fit then link the mane of the pilot flying the fit, and the friends that fly with me agree.
