Can't really give neut bonuses or you would basically have an (almost) all around better version of the Pilgrim. We really don't need ships stepping on each other's toes as is. I more or less agree with everything else. |

4 medium slot are enough for armor tanker even if you will add scanning/hacking modules but 5 lows are not enough for any meaningful tank + damage mods. 6 low will greatly improve this ship.
P.S. But even in current iteration this ship is overpowered above any reasons, and you called Angel ships "too good". IMHO 5 medium bonused drones + bonused highslots (change cap bonus for damage one please) will be more than enough. |

But the main purpose of those new cruisers is exploration, so they need the additional HighSlot to stay viable. Besides, if you move one HighSlot down to Low, it still doesn't change anything DPS-wise. People will simply start using a good-looking laser ship like a drone boat. In which case you could cut down HighSlots to two and it wouldn't change the drone dps one bit. |

It wouldnt be a heavy bonus. Maybe a static roll role bonus or the removal of an actual hard point. The idea behind it would be that for a ship designed for the role that a curse or a pilgrim fit already, they would stay the viable choice. But not suggesting folks fit something cap heavy (in regards to the reduced cap bonus for laser) doesn't even make lasers a sensible option when you can just load up the obvious winning choice o turrets. |

The ship is too overpowered for your taste, and you want to fit a stronger tank? Can I have the drugs you are on?

I am also wondering if we can expect a SoE BS hull?
IMO as an explorer, Lasers are great merely because they require zero ammunition.. just the virtually massless crystals. On long deployments ammo restocking can get tricky. |

A small change in the original post - The Astero has 20% drone hp per level, not 10% drone hp/tracking. This was actually just a mistake I made when copying the post over by grabbing an older version of the bonuses. Sorry about that.
In general there's a lot of good feedback coming in already of course and I'm already imagining and beginning to discuss version two with the CSM and Fozzie etc. (looking closely at the drone bandwidth/bay, CPU situation and hacking capability of the cruiser especially) but I want to give plenty of time for us to think it through and let you guys discuss in detail before any changes are made.
In the mean time keep the feedback coming and we'll give you updates as they come. |

I love them to be honest.
I'd tweak a couple of things:
Frigate: 1 more high slot and possibly allow for launchers? Amarr drone boats tend to have launchers. Cruiser: swap out cap usage for something else. I'm still fond of a logisitc theme considering the SOE mission for humanitarian activities. Optimal could work too as people could use with default racial preferences. I think the armor resist and sensor str type is enough to call it 'amarr'. |

And as a lazor-ship it needs Highs for maximum face-melting power.
I agree with the second part, though.

20% drone HP, that's nuts. I like it, it makes up for the no damage bonus. Novis Initiis is Recruting-á --á Ideas for Drone Improvement |

The ships look very good overall, the only thing i don't like is the laser bonus on the cruiser, perhaps replace it with something else? i generally like versatility in exploration ships, and since it's main dmg comes from drones i don't really need another weapon system bonus. I suppose a drone control range bonus is wishful thinking, but really give it anything except a specific weapon bonus, 100m cargo/level idk, virus/data str bonus, whatever just don't "force" me to put lasers on it just to not lose a bonus.Our dmg comes primarily from drones, the rest should be irrelevant. |

*snip*
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. Without any kind of damage bonus will use whatever weapon they like best. The specifics of damage application or weapon effectiveness wont matter. for example despite the laser bonus I will end up using hybrids. Hybrids are less bad than AC on an unbonused ship. But lasers have higher base damage and higher range than other turrets and with the cap usage bonus they use LESS capacitor than hybrids. So far I've seen nobody agree with you and several people disagree with you. Please give up your crusade now, it's obviously not something anybody else cares about.
AC's are good because of selectable damage type, low fitting requirements, average tracking, average range, no cap usage, and still are a contribution to damage. No weapons are bonused, so clearly the turrets are secondary to the bonused drones and immense bay and bandwidth (cap use bonus doesn't count. Still takes more cap to shoot lasers than hybrids and obviously ACs). This means I'm going to spend as little fitting on the guns as possible (ACs) or get the most damage at my preferred range as possible (blasters for close, ACs for up to 10km due to the previously listed reasons, or rails for anything more). Plain and simple, they're merely secondary to the drones on the ship.
There. Simple. |

Keep all the drone bonuses,drone bay, drop all weapons slots apart from something to draw aggro. Make it drone weapons plus sleeper drone aggro resist. Amarr armor bonuses good,
Think ninja rather than samuri.
Come from nowhere and you WILL take notice lol
Great you are taking account of exploring virus levels.
This will not make it. Just another pew pew ship. Those that want that have more than enough choices.
This will set it well apart in a class of it's own. A true exploration force.

Laser cap usage is one of the most useless bonuses in the game. How many people fly a cloaky laser legion? Zero. Because all it has is the cap bonus.
Replace it with something else please. Damage bonus, tracking bonus, literally ANYTHING would be better than a cap bonus. Put another way, if I fit it with auto cannons/artillery I have just as many effective bonuses as if I fit it with lasers.
The frigate looks good. Could probably use another high (See: the least used covops is the helios).
For Exploration, no one will use these as a +10 bonus is significantly better than a +5 bonus. That's just a simple fact. They'll be decent for pvp though. |

One thing i dont understand is why the frig gets only two highs, pigeon-holing it i to fitting cloak+probe launcher. It should be like the cruiser where you can still fit cov cloak+probe+ 3 turrets. Maybe the frig should get 4 highs ,with 3 turrets to follow the same scheme as the cruiser. But i also like the rest of the slot layout, so il not sure how to go from here.
Also no cpu reduction for either cloak or probe launcher. Wich means we'll never see a good armor fit with both cloak and expanded probe launcher on neither frig nor cruiser. IMMA FIRING MA LAZAR!!! |
