Still, I quite like the idea of the roles being split - Minmatar and Gallente are the heavy damage dealers while Amarr and Caldari are the long range anti-inty platforms. I'm interested to see what the Cormorant can do with rails with this new buff. Quote:Destroyers could use a warp speed increase as well to be truly viable. Yes, god forbid destroyers should have any kind of drawback.
More to the point, they have a nice niche keeping frigates away from big slow assets that can't as reliably deal with frigates (and other small targets) themselves. Not being able to keep up with a roaming group of cruisers is a non-issue, the cruisers should have their own ways to deal with frigates (the actual validity of those options might need a revisit, but the answer shouldn't be "just let destroyers keep up with them, too"), as long as destroyers can keep up with battleships it's all good. Really, it's when being *chased by* a cruiser fleet that the destroyers should be left behind. |

According to my calculations the with tech 2 damage mods, biggest tech 2 short range guns and faction ammo:
Catalyst: 513 DPS
Coercer: 440 DPS
Thrasher: 380 DPS
Cormorant: 290 DPS. <- Lol
Along with sig radius reduction and hitpoint increase these will tear frigates apart.
More important, this will tear tier 3 bc apart. nearly no drones, large guns, just 50k ehp. 500 DPS Destoyers WILL wtfpawn them.
New forum, still no automatic double post merge. CCP Excellence.-á

The reduced sig radii on these ships is nice. Medium sized weaponry should still be able to hit them though. So you'll see MWD roving bands of destroyers or AB fit dessies sitting on top of larger ships to ward off interceptors. The catalyst is still a wierd ship to me. An optimal bonus is not very gallente like and it will continue to have difficulty getting ships in death blossom range. |
