ERIS - Eris is the next in the new Roden designs. Big bonuses to both missiles and hybrid turrets allow the highest damage of all the dictors if one chooses. However for most normal uses the big Eris changes are the huge amount of mass it lost (leading to much much improved speed and agility) and the extra fittings. The 10mn AB plated fleet fits will be much improved after Rubicon.
Gallente Destroyer Bonuses:
10% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret falloff per level
5% bonus to Rocket and Light Missile explosion radius per level (was 10% bonus to small hybrid tracking per level)
Interdictors Bonuses:
10% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret, Rocket, and Light Missile damage per level (was 5% bonus to thermal rocket and light missile damage)
10% bonus to Interdiction Sphere Launcher rate of fire per level
Role bonus:
Can fit Interdiction Sphere Launchers
Slot layout: 8H, 2M, 4L; 4(-1) turrets, 4 launchers
Fittings: 64(+2) PWG, 210(+16) CPU
Defense (shields / armor / hull) : 650(-1) / 700 / 750(-1)
Capacitor (amount / recharge rate / cap/s) : 700(+231.25) / 350s(+37.5) / 2(+0.5)
Mobility (max velocity / agility / mass / align time): 305(-3) / 3.52(+0.145) / 1250000(-213000) / 6.1s(-1.11)
Drones (bandwidth / bay): 5 / 5
Targeting (max targeting range / Scan Resolution / Max Locked targets): 55km / 500 / 7
Sensor strength: 13(+2) Magnetometric
Signature radius: 85(-1)
=========================
So the Eris is the only ship with mixed weapons - where you need to use all 7/8 slos to get the same damage while having a splitt weapon. Wasn't it sayed that in Minmatar ships it was a bad design choice and you learned from it?
And your "to get the heretic on the same level then the gallente" it got more base amor and a resist per level (wan't that bad design too?). Way to go. (And don't let me start why gallente get the most STRUCTURE in ships - while Amarr get most armor AND resists)
Also 5% more damage is a nerf to the damage of the eris when you kill her 10% tracking.
Another point I want to raise:
A solid tackle (TM) needs 3 med slots: propulsion, Scram/dis and a web.
An interdictor (thanks to the bubble) can mostlikly skip the disruptor and go for a scram, adding with a web to help the tackle.
Only ship with 2 med in a tackle role: the eris.
So basically you take away the choice from gallente by making them the worse of the pack.
2 slots? check
worse armor tank? check
mixed weapons were you need to fit BOTH the compete with the comeptiton? check
and all these tradeoffs are for ... 0.1 sec allign time and +5m/s speed (vs the heretic).
OR just to rephrase: why would i pick the Eris out of the interdictors?
It might be just a hunch, but is your rebalancing not a bit to hard on the "pulse of current meta"?
Sincerly
