When a module absolutely NEEDS a 100% bonus to be usable, then surely somethign is wrogn in the module, not in the ship. Yeah well, wait till people realize that there is no cap bonus and you need a cap chain to run the bonused reppers, remember a Guardian at logi 5 has a 75% reduction to repper AND transfer cap consupmtion, this isn't getting that.
Yeah, you are quite correct. I took a look at an Armageddon, which has precisely the same base cap. (not sure on the recharge rate, but I assume it is close)
I filled the highs with 3 Large Solace reppers, and 4 Large T2 cap Transfers. Assuming no cap modules in the mids or lows, and no other cap usage mods, the ship can run it's highs for about 3:40. With 2 cap rechargers in the mids, it can run it's highs for about 5:20.I am sure that with a cap booster life is good, but I doubt a lot of group PvE appications want to be dependent on cap boosters. You tack on an MwD, even when turned off, forget about any cap stability.
And that cap chain requirement means all your ships are within 9.8 km of each other. And DPS with 2 Drone Damage mods and Garde II's only = 664 DPS.
An interesting logistics ship, but not sure it will be a popular as people want it to be, especially when they are running a couple billion. First day they will sell for at least 3 B, and might settle as low as 1.5 B, but I think people will realize they can get better bang for their buck elsewhere.
As a PvE DPS ship, 1028 with 3 Drone Damage mods and T2 Sentries, 5 T2 lasers with Imp Multi-Freq. That won't cut it either, when compared to others BS platforms. Same as a PvP ship, with that cost.
No, this ship is not going to make it to the top of the popularity list once people clue in. Now, IF they added a covert cloak to it, then we would have a ship that the BlockOp's should be much more like.
Then again, given the knife that is coming to the pirate BS's, if the Vindi is any indication, this might be the best of the bunch Most people viewed Orwell's writings as a warning. The harper regime and the goons treat them as a guidebook. |
