If this is the task intended, which is not what was stated when these were announced or presented, and was the intended target of the nerf per the statement made, then great, but logically it could stand to have some of the bonuses scaled back to fit that, such as the virus strength, high drone bay and cargo hold, arguably the scan strength bonus as well. Those were aimed at a task which the ship apparently was not aimed at despite the CCP statements to the contrary.

Where please

What we're shooting for is ships that are themed around exploration and therefor make good platforms for a range of activities including probing, hacking, exploration combat sites, anoms, killing anom runners, spying on people, looking super sexy and generally being kind of awesome.
...
If you guys can show me fits that you feel SHOULD work with the cloak and don't because of missing the bonus please let me know, but we were able to run 6/10s with it set like this and it gives it some interesting tradeoffs when deciding what to do with it.
...
We felt the ships needed a defensive bonus of some kind to help them run sites, but we didn't want to use the Gal side of the bonus for active armor rep (especially since people don't love active armor rep bonuses generally).

We've had several references to PvE intent, while not excluding PvP of course, and while I can't quote it, the rubicon announcement on twitch had a good portion of talk about it as well.

These and more can be found in the thread on the F&I forums, including quotes of .

So ... shields ? o_O

Speaking of implant sites, can we get a sniper frigate with bonuses for zapping pods from great distances?

Sounds more like a misappropriated Langston Field.

Though I dont see where it says what you said, especially not specific to the cruiser

You're right, they could've been referring to the frigate in running 6/10 plexs.

Yup cruisers and frigates the only classes of ship there are


Oh and in case your eyes have malfunctioned Ill repeat myself

"especially not specific to the cruiser BUT I KNOW WHAT YOU WILL SAY

So lets just agree to disagree"

There are only 2 ships being discussed in that thread, one the SOE frigate and the other the SOE cruiser. Any others would not have applied to that discussion. I'll similarly agree to disagree, but lets not be obtuse about the information presented.

So you wouldn't be too suprised to see a ESG coming towards you if you were on the bridge of a Kzin ship Id imagine....

Please dont bring that new cruiser like its written.
Its not more then a pilgrim without neuts.
Bring some real new, have new ideas not always same as existing ships.
New specialitys not still existing....Afterburner bonus or something that doesnt exist at no ship would be good

We were long time waiting for faction coverts and now that.

The Frig is ok.

You might be the only person that thinks this ship sucks.

This, even after the nerf, the ship is overpowered, i hope the LP cost is huge.
