That is almost in the annual report of all things hybrid class.
I did manage to force my self to read about half of it.
I still am pissed they did not boost the speed of Caldari boats as well.
It is totally stupid all Caldari ships will be so slow now it is not funny.
Rokh with 2 speed Mods is still slower then a buffer tanked rigged Megathron even with the current stats let alone the buffed ones.
Fix that FFS
My post is in reply to the thread in general, I quoted the above because I just wanted to make the point that while you're partially correct, the rohk has an optimal range bonus and the ability to use cruises/torps, and thus has a much better damage projection than a mega. A mega also has little choice but to armor tank which reduces it's speed, whereas a rohk shield tanks. In other words, it should be faster. Also, I can't check right now but I find the stat of a rohk with 2 speed mods being slower than a plated and trimarked mega very hard to believe.
But anyway, regarding the topic itself. It's well thought out and, while not as concise and well structured as everyone here might like (I did read it all, btw) it makes some very valid points.
I however agree for the most part with a few of the other respondents who state that CCP have made a good amount of changes, and are looking to see how they pan out before making too hasty a large buff that everyone subsequently whines to have nerfed again.
I'd be happy if the current changes went live, then a few months later they were reviewed, feedback collected, and looked at again. In my opinion, small modifications followed by extensive testing is the best way to achieve a balanced outcome for this kind of thing, as nobody with the best will (or intellect) in the world can precisely state exactly what will fix the problem for everyone, taking everything into consideration. Anyone who tries is just arrogant and/or small minded.
All people can do is state what they think is wrong, and some possible amends to try (small modifications with testing, anyone?) as the creator of this topic has (mostly) done.
Thumbs up for a good discussion. Great initial post and interesting replies.
