are you kidding me?
holy crap!
i SO cant wait to get back in my EWAR frigs.
so, if i get the match right, on a 15km web, thats a 75.9km range?
It's 52.5 km before links and overload. Or 35 km with a normal web. |

Tell me, other than a CN RLM cerb- how are you hitting that hyena, moving around 5K+ From 60K out? Because really, if you can name any ship- please do so. The cerb is going to struggle to apply full DPS at that point with out some crash on board.
Play better then? Stop spouting off crap.
Just warp away?
So trying to confirm that you are telling me to just run away from fights, and to somehow play better vs a ship that can web we from insane distances where most ships struggle to even reach? Yah... I too love flying only RLM cerbs for the foreseeable future.
If you're soloing in a light , relative short-ranged ship, the situation is no different to a Rapier arriving on grid at range. Presumably you have some method of dealing with that rather than just crying on the forums?
If you're in gang, then just kill it or damp it. Rail Deimos, for a start. |

Yeah, a linked Hyena will do 5 km/s with a 150 m sig (links in being overpowered non-shocker?), if I altered it right in EFT. That's very hard for a Deimos to track if it's being orbited, but in a small gang situation, keeping up transversal on all hostiles becomes trickier.
While a RLML Cerb will certainly be the best damage counter to these frigs, I'm not convinced that they represent something new and terrible in typical small gang environments. They're pretty vulnerable to even unbonused damping, for example. |

Much of the problem here is to do with warfare links being hilariously overpowered, rather than EAFs.
You can tweak EAFs to be balanced without links - but they'll be OP with them. Or you can make them balanced with links - but they'll be crap without them. I don't think you'll solve this dilemma without nerfing the hell out of links - for frigates, mobility and range matters, and the ~30% bonuses to speed, sig, tackle range and ewar range and strength offered by links are sinply far too powerful. |
