They're removing the 5th drone. Hahaha, good work CCP. They've ruined exploration, might as well ruin the new exploration ship as well I suppose. I now have no interest in this ship and it was the main thing in the expansion that I was looking forward to. So now, for me, the expansion is just warp speed changes. Great - don't think I'll be playing this game in 6 months' time tbh. |

So the latest on the cruiser is that it is garbage and also more expensive than other pirate cruises. Superb!
I can run 8/10s no problem in an Ishtar and fit a probe launcher, cloak, salvager, remote rep and hacking mods on it - why would an exploration pilot want this Stratio over that?
CCP are awesome, they don't mind introducing game-ruining mechanics such as probing being so easy a 3 yr old could do it now, or a pathetic mini-game which actually guarantees disappointment by making it impossible to capture all loot cans before some disappear. No, as long as they don't give the new exploration ship a fifth drone - that's the most important thing! |

The Stratios is designed for exploration. My point is that what is the point in it if it is far inferior to other ships in this role? I fit a cloak/mwd on the Ishtar too. No, I can't warp cloaked but it means I have never died to a gatecamp in it. There's not much point having a covert cloak which lets you explore the universe, if you can't actually do anything once you get there! |

Here is a viable Stratios fit in comparison to the Ishtar. Worse tank, same dps, much more expensive. Yes, it has the cov-ops cloak but that's the only advantage and with mwd and a cloak on the Ishtar it can get through the camps (or back to gate at least).
Ishtar (for Guristas)
Stratios (for Guristas) |

Yes, it has the cov-ops cloak but that's the only major advantage and with mwd and a cloak on the Ishtar it can get through the camps (or back to gate at least). Ishtar (for Guristas)Stratios (for Guristas)Bit underwhelming to say the least. Rerun the numbers to include the nerfed bandwidth. Underwhelming doesn't begin to describe it.
That does - I only selected 4 sentries on the Stratios. (I mistyped in my original post - now fixed) |
