Weirda	Posted - 2006.05.09 01:32:00 - [1] funny enough - raptor is a great ship and outdamages a crow. you don't see as many because they require more skill (which is something that caldari pilot seem to be allergic to). their cheapness actually do give them a niche for well skilled pilot (in spite of other thinking that it a detriment)... not much to say about the ares... except that if that thing get a 3rd mid... give the claw one ffs... if you can't do more dmg with better weapons, then don't know what. __ Weirda Assault Ship deserve a 4th Bonus and More!
Weirda	Posted - 2006.05.09 01:36:00 - [2] Edited by: Weirda on 09/05/2006 01:40:25 Originally by: 4 LOM Originally by: Malthros Zenobia FFS, inties shouldn't be goddamn DPS-driven machines. most damage bonii on inties nee dto simply vanish, and get replaced with tackle bonuses. Even if it's things like +10% range to warp disrupters/jammers, or bonus range/effectiveness for webbers. FFS I know inites irl are for hit and run, but in EVE they're tacklers, right now they're basicly the posterchildren for what all minmatar ships aspire to be (fast as balls with good dmg). Its unfortunate that no one seemed to listen to you. I agree inteceptors dont need more damage they need bonuses to tackling, sfuff like 100% to warp disruptor/scrambler strength per interceptor level (would make the great tacklers and stop alot of the warp core stab nonses. also force alot more mixed fleets cause you will need destroyers and assaults to remove those uber tackling inty's. I say nerf them dps wise to hell and give them some really sexy tackling bonues. Other bonues could be: scram/disruptor range weber range scram/disruptor cap ussage Just some idees, anyways i think atleast converting the secondary interceptors like the raptor and the ares to something along these lines would be very nice inded, i know i would fly the raptor if it was an uber tackler even if it did 0 dps while weirda not opposed to this, the fun of dogfight in the 'damage' inties is one of the best thing in eve. that would be a sad day. would rather see the two class of inty 'tackling inty and fighting inty' stay as they are and have bonus split that way. the main problem with saying 'do away with all damage and blah blah blah' is that several inty only have 2 mids... and unless they all had four, that would be pretty stupid way to go with the bonus. too bad no one listen to weirda either though - have mention this several time as well... EDIT - oh and what weirda also mentioned (swallowed into the void for a while then spat back out mutated and gimped by the BS lobby) was that if anything, intys need to have 0 cap use for anti-propulsion mods (all of them: disruptor, scrambler, webber) as their bonus, and as the second, perhaps their racial ecm (though weirda would be bummed with target painting). with speed on their side, need for some invulnerable 35km scrambler or webber is kind of pointless on inty... it would just make eve more of a gate camp then it already is. __ Weirda Assault Ship deserve a 4th Bonus and More!
