i allready postet this somwhere in the general discussions forum, but it belongs here...
just tested for few hours on sisi..
tl.dr.
-rails are ok; not supermegarockin' but ok.
-blasters are still broken. easier to fit now but the problems with range and rather bad tracking are still there.
tested with deimos, astarte, hyperion, talos...they're all too sloooooow for that weapon class.
fitting plates makes them agile like cotton woll. fitting armor rigs really hurts your allready crappy topspeed.
using active tank (with hybrids needing less pg and cap u can actually fit active tank now) works to a degree in 1on1 engagements; in small-scale fights you're lost with active tanking most of the time. (using active tank makes cap injectors must-have mods)
i'd say passive tanking bonuses are way better in 80% of cases
i also think the concept of blasters needs a major overhaul. fixing a stat here and there wont really fix the problem.
the base line ist simple: gallente warfare needs more competitive hulls and weapon systems. not superrior to other races, but in such a way that you actually consider flying gallente ships in all situations that eve gameplay has to offer; while gallente are quite ok for pve, and to some degree can be used in those 3-4 ships engagements, atm they completely miss the point in fleet and medsize warfare...
active tanking bonuses + short range blasters + (evtl.) drones as main weaponsystem --> the things you try to avoid on fleet setups i.e.
actually the talos is crapy as balsterboat, but since now it has same bonuses as the megathron, it can be used as more agile and price-efficent "pocket-megathron" aka. railboat...ofc. as a glasscanon version of mega..
offtopic:
-the new nebulae will definetely bring some gfx-glamour to tq..
-the new lightning modes is bit too dark in low/nullsec in my opinion..i could hardly see the texture on my deimos hull..
(-dreads, especialy moros/revelation can pretty much hurt subcaps. mwd'ing around in sth bigger than cruiser can make you perfect target/victim to their turrets. they'll prertty much one-shot you...it ... somehow... doesn't... feel right...) |
