As I have said before the design in itself is flawed. Unless CCP is willing to redesign hybrids and Gallente ships from the ground up or making every kind of gun similar to each other we'll never get anywhere. |

Very few people I have met are as qualified as Julius to comment on the current state of Hybrids and Gallente boats.
If you want to listen to someone from the community, look nowhere else.

The game's pretty boring for me right now, because we always have to fly the same ships (Amarr and Minmatar) If you guys fix this I might get back into it. |

Nah that doesn't work. For Firefox at least.
Looking forward to Tallest's next update. Hang in there big guy! If you can pull this off, odds are you'll become the EVE equivalent of a deity and people will sing hymns in your name until the end of days. |

CCP, we need confirmation there will be no further changes to the current hybrid list added to Crucible.
Might as well make people angry now instead of at launch, if not.

^ Never heard about a Drake before?
Caracal is likely the second best cruiser in the game too. |

Hopefully the next wave of changes are coming soon. I expect at most a spike in frigate usage. |

A quick way to get Gallente boats back on the map is to put the Hyperion on par with the Abaddon for fleet engagements.
Then look closely: "what have we done right here?"
Then slowly apply these changes across the board as necessary.
And yes, CCP devs. I want to make a little dare.
I want you try solo PVP in Thoraxes and Brutixes. Fit them as you like. No alts, no intel no nothing. Do some roams. You'll see the light very quickly.
3 weeks later then fly them in fleets. See if that is any better.
If you fly anything else than a blasterboat then you broke the rules. |

We've made the first round of changes, once these go live we'll monitor usage, fleet composition etc. If these changes yield an underwhelming results, we'll continue to tweak them. Far to complicated - I'm sure your economist is constantly telling you that you have a really good market at work in EvE. You should be able to tell if you've got the buff right by just logging in to Jita 4/4 a couple of week time after the patch has bedded in. Rails - especially the 350mm and 425mm have been "selling" in Jita at less than their build cost for a very long time - only the hybrid blog has made a small difference recently. Dual 150mm and 200mm are still being priced at below manufactured cost - hardly a vote of confidence. If volumes have ticked up and it is worth inventing at the Jita sale price you've been successful. You may have overdone it the price spikes up to autocannon profit levels (and above) and stays high with increasing volumes. Personally I expect to see Eagles still on the market at around 90 million i.e. less than their build cost...but I would like to be wrong.
Worthy of praise. |

Shouldn't it be tho? Considering it's a tier 3 battleship and meant to be the 'ultimate blaster platform'.
If they could change the active tank bonus to something more fleet oriented to put it on the same caliber as an Abaddon would be pretty nice.
I still prefer a Domi though.

Each race has a dps battleship already that is designed for damage (armageddon, raven, megathron/dominix, Tempest/Typhoon) so plz don't come here tell me Hyperion is supposed to be the ultimate blasterboat that should do more dps. (And yes the dominix is an amazingly versatile fast battleship that can do a lot of dps with a stupid hard tank)
You missed the quotation marks there. I just think the Hyperion needs to be a better fleet ship. Like the Maelstrom and the Abaddon. The Scorpion could use a buff as well regarding survivability, generally, decent logi has trouble keeping it alive. Both the Hyperion and the Scorpion need to be brought up to par with Maelstrom and Abaddon as mainstay fleet ships. |

Only reason you are touching the Vigilante in the first place is the web bonus isn't?
Sorry bro but three ships that require Gallente ship skills to fly them, doesn't make up for the all the others. |

That's pretty funny.
Hey bro, everyone can fly a Vigilante and afford to lose it. Those that can't would just sell a plex anyway.
You think this is 2006? |

You mean with all modules active? No. Gallente doesn't have as much cap problems as Amarr but we can still get screwed over without proper cap management.
When you are buffer tanked most of your cap is spent on MWD and guns. And keeping those running will dry you out of 800s quite quickly.

The Myrmidon should not be touched. Its one of the few Gallente boats that actually work what they are designed for. I'd like to see them with a bigger drone bay but this doesn't matter right now.

We're beating a dead horse here. CCP has stopped reading this thread long ago and clearly no longer doesn't care about our opinion because they consider current changes as final. And probably dropped the whole balancing process over 10 days ago like an anvil.
You people can keep arguing all you want but the next response you get out of CCP out of this whole ordeal is a message that the thread is locked.
This was just an excuse to get us shafted again.

So CCP after a few days I can safely say nothing in the game has changed.
I hope further changes to Gallente boats are brought soon.

Typical really. We'll see in the coming weeks if all of this was just an old case of CCP fitting a damage control. |

Buuump!
Anyone planning of getting tickets to the Fanfest and start a commotion about the unfinished Hybrid rebalancing?
Me and my friends are planning an OWS style protest in front of CCP's headquarters. We'll be flying all the way from sunny Brazil to Icy Northern Europe to show our discontent. Do girls even wear bikinis there? |

That's their whole strategy. They want you to get tired and lose interest.
It's a very strange situation when the aggressor is the one using passive resistance. |

Increasing incoming RR and increasing your buffer on the Hyperion would bring it up to par in fleet battles. |

God knows how long they are going to take.
They should just focus entirely on balancing on Inferno 1.5 or whatever. |
