Eximius Josari	Posted - 2006.03.30 19:47:00 - [1] Hi to all three of you who will actually read this Thor 8 hi slots 6 mids 6 lows 5 turrets, 5 launchers 5% Large Projectile Damage per level 5% Launcher RoF per level 6000 shield 5500 armor 5500 hull 140 m/s max velocity 100 m3 dronebay 650 m3 cargo Has the split personality of the Typhoon, battlefield presence of the Tempest, and can armor or shield tank with no problem. No crazy off the wall thing like a Matari Raven, or a BS sized Stabber (as totally awesome as they would be...the Machariel shouldnt be lost in the dust of a tech 1 baseline design.) Some won't like it not being as much of a gunship as the Tempest is...but it lets you go both ways. Missile boat or gunship, while not doing the missile boat as well as the Raven, nor the gunship as well as the Tempest.
Eximius Josari	Posted - 2006.03.30 19:52:00 - [2] Lol...I love the Typhoon, but those are pretty much the changes I'd give it lol...cept I wouldnt have dropped the speed or drones down.
Eximius Josari	Posted - 2006.03.30 20:01:00 - [3] That is insane...
Eximius Josari	Posted - 2006.03.30 20:17:00 - [4] I dont want a pure gunship lol...I'd be amarr if I wanted that.

Eximius Josari	Posted - 2006.03.30 20:52:00 - [6] Originally by: Aliksr Originally by: Keta Min no. it is: 8/6/6, 8 turrets, some launchers, 10% rof per lvl. anything else: go die. The database dump where everyone got those stats from hasn't been updated since Mid-December so who knows if the Tier-3 ships will look or even still look anything like those prototypes. And also if you give the Tier-3 8 turret hardpoints then why would anyone fly a tempest? Because they havent trained Battleship III yet? Exactly, I don't want to make the current BSes obsolete. Tempest should be 'the' gunship.
Eximius Josari	Posted - 2006.03.30 21:15:00 - [7] Nobody was suggesting one.
Eximius Josari	Posted - 2006.03.30 21:34:00 - [8] How is that? lol
Eximius Josari	Posted - 2006.03.30 21:42:00 - [9] Originally by: Keta Min split slot layout = not good. Its only not good if your skills suck. We have the most skill intensive ships in the game...and that is a good thing.

Its only not good if your skills suck. or if you want your damage mods to work for ALL your weapons, rather than having to fit 2 to get the bonus everyone else gets from one it also means that each weapon only has a single bonus on it (omg not good) Our bonuses are odd. My solution to that is change all Projectile Bonuses to include Launchers. So the Tempest would have: 5% Projectile and Ballistic Dmg as well as 5% Projectile and Launcher RoF. As for the Typhoon, it could be along this line: 5% Rof Proj and Launchers, 10% Porj Optimal and 10% Ballistic Velocity So every weapon on a min ship would get a bonus as long as it is a projectile gun or a missile launcher. As for the dmg mods...2 of each fits just fine. ~From the maker of ActiveX and Sobeseki Pawi: The Third and Final Main :o

Each of my dmg mod sets will be more effective than their 3rd and 4th dmg mods, so I get the greater benefit. ~From the maker of ActiveX and Sobeseki Pawi: The Third and Final Main :o
Eximius Josari	Posted - 2006.03.30 22:44:00 - [13] Whether I'm right or wrong, the following comes straight from QuickFit. All skills maxed. Megathron with 7x 425mm II = 261.022 DPS Megathron with 7x 425mm II and 4x MFS II = 457.224 57% increase Armageddon with 7x Tach II = 286.471 Armageddon with 7x Tach II and 4x HS II = 501.797 57% increase Raven with 6x Cruise II = 74.439 Raven with 6x Cruise II and 4x BCS II = 146.91 51% increase Typhoon with 4x 1400 II/4x Cruise II = 157.629 Typhoon with 4x 1400 II/4x Cruise II and 2x BCS II/2x GS II = 232.383 68% increase Now imagine that Typhoon with the soon to come launcher RoF bonus. ~From the maker of ActiveX and Sobeseki Pawi: The Third and Final Main :o
Eximius Josari	Posted - 2006.03.30 22:47:00 - [14] Originally by: HippoKing Originally by: Zysco Hes not entirely wrong really. Really only the apoc fits weapons in all 8 highslots. Lets say one guy is flying a tempest with 6 autos 2 nos and has 2 damage mods. Those 2 mods are effecting only 6 highs. Meanwhile a phoon fits a bcu II and a gyro II, less effect but its effecting 8 highs so the damage mods actually have more of a bonus, if that makes sense. Also I'm really high if it doesnt so. what you say does make sense. it shows that fitting different types of damage mods on a ship with split bonuses (bonii?) and hardpoints is more effective than fitting a single type. however, what our friend here is trying to say is that it is more effective than fitting a single damage mod type on a single weapon type ship, which is hugely wrong. How much does the stacking penalty affect module # 3? and how much does it affect module #4? all I have to deal with is #1 and #2 (twice over). I get more results for my slots. ~From the maker of ActiveX and Sobeseki Pawi: The Third and Final Main :o

Sincerly Yours, The Naughty Boy. That is immaterial Only the cumulative effect matters.

Eximius Josari	Posted - 2006.03.30 23:00:00 - [16] Originally by: Naughty Boy Edit: it's going to be relatively worse for the typhoon (at least when compared to domi/arma) when CCP introduce drone damage mods. Are they going to be high slot items? ~From the maker of ActiveX and Sobeseki Pawi: The Third and Final Main :o

Wow, now we've found another substance more dense than lead.... your skull. Let's look at it this way. Ship A: 8 turrets Ship B: 4 Launcher 4 Turret Both fit 4 Damage mods, Ship B fits 2 BCS and 2 Turret Mods, Ship A fits 4 Turret Mods. I don't know the exact stacking penalty, but let's make up some numbers for example purposes. Ship A gets: 8 turrets * 2 * 1.8 * 1.6 * 1.4 = 64.512 turrets worth of damage. Ship B gets: 4 Launchers * 2 * 1.8 = 14.4 Launchers worth of damage + 4 Turrets * 2 * 1.8 = 14.4 Turrets worth of damage = 28.8 total turrets worth of damage. NOTE: These numbers are NOT real figures, but simply meant to demonstrate how 4 bonuses affecting 8 turrets (even diminishing) is more effective than 2 bonuses affecting 4 and 2 more affecting another 4. Your first mistake was entering the discussion, your second mistake was insulting me for no reason, and your third mistake was totally FUBARing your argument. The penalty is not measured in a straight line. Try this instead: The base effect is 10. The base value is 100 Mod 1 = 100% of effect Mod 2 = 75% of effect Mod 3 = 45% of effect Mod 4 = 5$ of effect 1.10 * 1.075 * 1.045 * 1.005 = 129.75 new value (1.10 * 1.075) + (1.10 * 1.075) = 136.5 new value The only difference is my 100 is a 50 + 50. ~From the maker of ActiveX and Sobeseki Pawi: The Third and Final Main :o

Okay. lol okay now we are just getting into characteristics of weapons...not quite the discussion. Quote: Originally by: Eximius Josari Are they going to be high slot items? Low slot, high slot "+1 drone controlled" mods are capital ships only. Sincerly Yours, The Naughty Boy. I know the control ones will be cap only, and if the smg ones are low slot...that wont hurt the phoon at all, still has second largest dronebay and 7 lows. Unless you are refering to not fitting artillary for lack of powergrid. Which is also the case on the geddon as well. But my basic point still stands. Divided weapon systems are not inferior, just more skill intensive. ~From the maker of ActiveX and Sobeseki Pawi: The Third and Final Main :o
Eximius Josari	Posted - 2006.03.30 23:38:00 - [19] Originally by: Zephyrlin 8 * 1.1 * 1.075 * 1.045 * 1.005 = 9.935 4 * 1.1 * 1.075 = 4.73 * 2 = 9.46 cough Math rules :) So you managed to figure out that all 8 slots being affected by 4 dmg mods is ultimately more effective than 4 + 4 being affected by 2 each. but not by much. 7 slot ships still fall behind. And if I really wanted to, I could add more dmg mods and leave every other ship in the comparative dust. My way is definately not common, but its much more versatile and arguably as effective. And I would rather see that on a tier 3. Reward those of us who really invest sp into weapons and not just gunnery OR missiles. Besides an 8 turret min BS would eliminate the need for the Tempest as the gunship. Thor at least wont make the Typhoon obsolete. Infact Thor could be made slower (130 m/s) with a smaller drone bay (75 m3) and fullfill the line just fine. The people crazy about guns can just fit one less than the pest + 1 more nos, and the people crazy about missiles can do the same in reverse. I like the idea our tier 3 could be a gunship, missileboat, or hybrid...all in one package. And for those really picky types, give it a 'type' 25% dmg bonus. ~From the maker of ActiveX and Sobeseki Pawi: The Third and Final Main :o
Eximius Josari	Posted - 2006.03.30 23:45:00 - [20] Originally by: Kcel Chim after reading just the first post i know why youre still in the patar tech school. Uh ok...how about this is my third main and I haven't been arsed enough to move him out of PTS yet? It's only been like 2 days. Quote: The answer is no, we dont need such a ship. We don't need an 8 slot gunship either. Quote: IF they actually planned on implementing such a ship i would suggest they just give everyone else their tier 3 and let the minnies hang with just tier 1 and tier 2 because such a tier 3 would really never be used (apart from the very special ppl who find the typhoon so welluseable and fitting) and from the rpers who kinda have to stick with it. If it is so important for you to only train gunnery...why are you Minmatar? Quote: P.S. we need more minnie nerfing. Our Skillpoint per ship ratio isnt high enough. I was thinking the other day about a tier 3 bs with boni to targetpainters and remote armor repairing. Simliar to our great carrier. This is the wrong thread for complaining about your race selection. And why would a BS have those bonuses? That's just silly. Our Carrier sucks...but that has zero to do with this discussion. ~From the maker of ActiveX and Sobeseki Pawi: The Third and Final Main :o

Eximius Josari	Posted - 2006.03.31 00:05:00 - [21] Ultimately I see these possible things for Min Tier3 BS: 8/6/5 7 or 8 turrets/2 launchers and has 2 projectile bonuses. 8/6/6 5 guns/5 launchers and has my bonuses. 8/7/5 6 guns/2 launchers with a gun RoF and a shield tanking bonus. 8/6/6 4 guns/6 launchers with 2 missile bonuses. Of those 4...I can see only one that doesnt mess up the BS line and doesnt screw with other race's uniqueness. ~From the maker of ActiveX and Sobeseki Pawi: The Third and Final Main :o

If you want, I can grab a crowbar so you can pull your foot out of your mouth, since you're so fond of putting it there. 7 Turret BS with 4 Damage Mods: 8.69 3(4) Turret/4(3) Launcher BS with 2/2 Damage Mods: 8.27 If you can wrap your mind around the simple math of this example, and the previous example I did the math on, you'll see that this percentage difference is actually LARGER than the straight 8 Turret/4Launcher&4Turret comparison. So, refer to what you originally told me after my first post. That applies to you. Learn to operate a calculator before making false statements. That's well and good, but I don't know the actual stacking penalty. All I know is the DPS boost was much higher in quickfit. I could try with an apoc and see how close it gets. ~From the maker of ActiveX and Sobeseki Pawi: The Third and Final Main :o

It's only been like 2 days. commonly known as "alt" i guess ? Hmm...no not really. I don't have a main other than this one anymore...or won't once I sell my old one. Quote: Quote: We don't need an 8 slot gunship either. a 7 or 8 turret ship would be nice for a race whose base weapon is projectiles not missiles. So IF (and im not a real fan of tier 3 bs as a whole) we get a new bs, it should be "minmatar" and not caldari pansy crap. So the Tempest isn't Minmatar? The Typhoon isn't either? What about the Cyclone? None of them? I don't want a missile boat, what I want is a ship that uses both missiles and projectiles. Or did that obvious fact miss you? Quote: Quote: If it is so important for you to only train gunnery...why are you Minmatar? Im actually caldari, thank you. However since i play for more then 2 days (like your 3rd main) i have both gunnery skills and other skills maxed out or close to maxed out. tyvm. However that doesnt make a crap design better, especially since we cant assume everyone has 10 mil in gunnery, the average player prolly has 3-4 mil max. I happen to think Minmatar ships are great, especially with more than just gunnery skills. Amarr is the lazy race, not Minmatar. Quote: Quote: This is the wrong thread for complaining about your race selection. And why would a BS have those bonuses? That's just silly. Our Carrier sucks...but that has zero to do with this discussion. Im not worried about my race choice, im just tired of 2 day old alts coming to the forums telling how they think something should be fixed. When the main is either 2 month old and hasnt even reached this content yet (or enough experience to make a well thought through comparison) or when the main is some "insert random race" lover who just dumps another crap suggestion for a race he doesnt play. In short, your setup is craptastic, has bad boni, bad loadouts and prolly will suck. And before u make any further posts tell us what kind of role you had in mind for it and a "fitting" which would rock. As thats usually where the prank posts can be shed from the ones with a little thought behind. You have no real argument other than laziness, you want two gunship BSes...for no good reason? What would the Tempest be if your uber pest came out? PS: I was flying Min BSes 4 monthes before you even started playing this game. Oh...and I understand why you want simpler Min ships now...just to quote your corp title 'one day I might play Eve again instead of WoW'.

I'm not an alt, stop intimating I am just because your argument is paperthin at best. I don't care what you think of me (most of you don't seem to realize that) what matters is the idea put forth.

Eximius Josari	Posted - 2006.03.31 03:39:00 - [27] Originally by: Kcel Chim oh and before you ask, i dont see why minmatar needs to adopt caldari crap in the first place. Every race has a "unique" weapon, give or take the 1-2 missile bays here and there or the utility slot of an arma. Ontop of that each race got a field it should specialize in, amarr tanking, caldari ew, galeante drones. Guess what, minmatar got "sum of all but nowhere really good and ofc not working in all designs". That is what should be looked after and i dont see why we couldnt use a 8 gun fleetbattle behemoth, afterall projectiles are longrange and thats currently popular. For all i care they could make it even a pure shieldtanker with 1k base armor aslong as its not "a typhoon with some extra slots but no real role" again. But as i stated above already, tier 3 is no must for me, i find it rather pointless to add new bs while there are still broken ships in eve which could need a revamp to become more popular. In short if the typhoon was actually on the same "working" level as the other tier 1 bs i would think minnies were pretty much set, same as the other races in my opinion. Blasters fixed for galeante included ofc. I think the Typhoon is great as is...and after the change it will be better than a Tempest as far as I am concerned. I'm all for an 8 gun Min BS, and it will be FOTM for the next 6 monthes. I guess I just get annoyed when my dual specialization is only good for practically one ship as something more than a primary/secondary dmg relationship. I used to abhorr missiles, but then I realized how bad our dmg is without them. ~From the maker of ActiveX and Sobeseki Pawi: The Third and Final Main :o

Eximius Josari	Posted - 2006.03.31 18:30:00 - [32] If CCP changes the Tempest (or even the Typhoon) into being a stronger tank. The Tier 3 Min BS could get away with being a better offensive gunship. IF something like this happened: Typhoon 8/5/6 Tempest 8/6/5 New BS* 8/6/6 I think that would be just fine. Still not perfect tanks for any style, but can do all of them pretty well. But this is the annoying part: Typhoon 4 guns/4 launchers Tempest 6 guns/4 launchers New BS* 8 guns/4 launchers? Obviously that makes the new BS the most dmging as a pure gunship. But what if like someone said it only had the Dmg Bonus and not the RoF bonus. It still might out DPS the Tempest unless the Tempest is using missiles. If the new BS has a velocity bonus...man it that ship will be hard not to want to fly. I looove fast ships. I still think my original post is a better idea, except for the people who just want a cheaper and probably stronger Machariel. ~From the creator of ActiveX and Sobeseki Pawi: The Final Main :p C.E.N.S.U.S. Arrays - The key to Covert 0.0

All skills maxed. Megathron with 7x 425mm II = 261.022 DPS Megathron with 7x 425mm II and 4x MFS II = 457.224 57% increase Armageddon with 7x Tach II = 286.471 Armageddon with 7x Tach II and 4x HS II = 501.797 57% increase Raven with 6x Cruise II = 74.439 Raven with 6x Cruise II and 4x BCS II = 146.91 51% increase Typhoon with 4x 1400 II/4x Cruise II = 157.629 Typhoon with 4x 1400 II/4x Cruise II and 2x BCS II/2x GS II = 232.383 68% increase Now imagine that Typhoon with the soon to come launcher RoF bonus. Where are your % increases coming from? First setup(mega) has a 75.168% damage increase. Second setup(arma) has a 75.165% damage increase. Third setup(raven) has a 97.436% damage increase. Fourth setup(typhoon) has a 47.424% damage increase. Yes, someone covered that already. ~From the creator of ActiveX and Sobeseki Pawi: The Final Main :p C.E.N.S.U.S. Arrays - The key to Covert 0.0
