I think you meant drone and projectile (or hybrid for mad EFT deeps) weapons systems. Nobody used lasers on eg. Mallers before the tiericide gave it a damage bonus. Only the people with brain use leasers you mean. Stop looking at raw dps numbers and check the real projection of damage. I woudl love the current bonus exaclty because so many clueles people would fit AC on them makign them utter pathetic.
I think this cruiser will most often be fighting withing scram range and thus the damage projection of lasers will be overshadowed by the problems with tracking. Kiting at the edge of point range with drones being your primary damage is kinda painful. Then again, I think most people will just fit some combination of cloak, probe launcher, NOSes and neuts in the highs so the bonus will be irrelevant.

I spent few minutes in EFT with the ships and I think they are looking good. The EWAR options provided with the good amount of midslots is what I especially like. I tried to keep the pimp reasonable and cost effective, plenty of room for moar shiny stuff. Stats all V.

SAAR or SAAR + 200mm plate could be options for the tank. Lowish DPS but should still have a fairly good engagement profile for a frig.

Not a DPS monster (lol at the webless shield, neutron + oh Void fits in the thread), but has dual med neuts, small NOS (medium is doable with a bit of implant love), dual prop, covops cloak, probe launcher (for ganking sig runners). close to unlimited drone bay, and 3 med slots and spare CPU (this config 469/500) for whatever EWAR you like. Not bad at all. Should work solo or as a scout for a small gang.
Honestly, who cares about PVE fits. PVP is what these will (and IMO should) be used for. Also, any laser bonus on the Stratios will be rather useless (both for PVE and PVP), please consider substituting it for something else. |
