Insulting posts directed at developers only serve to aggravate their minds. An aggravated mind can't even think straight about what you are saying because it's too spun up by the noise of your angry attitude. You are not helping yourself or anyone who might agree with your concerns if you are constantly peppering your words with insults.
That being said, I don't like the proposals concerning Guristas ships either. In a Gila or a Rattlesnake I have personally never felt outclassed by Ishtars and Dominixes respectively. I have always felt that the shield tank and use of missiles combined with the supreme versatility of a drone boat has been a big enough difference to make the Guristas line a very unique and intriguing option.
With the current proposal I see the Gila losing all ability to function efficiently in the roles I currently use it in and have planned for the future. As a Gila pilot I use sentry drones and light drones almost exclusively. I barely ever use medium drones at all. I like being able to drop onto the field like a brick ****house, hold position, drop sentries and apply instant reliable damage, while still having the option to switch tactics on the fly and brawl whenever I want.
While the idea of having two super drones is a cool idea, I don't like my Gilas being forced to brawl with medium drones alone.
I agree that Guristas ships need to be changed to bring them up to speed. I disagree with the sentiment that they need to be so drastically different than other drone boats as to sacrifice bandwidth and diminish the effectiveness and variety of tools at their disposal. A Worm can now only field 2 E-war/Repair/Salvage drones, a Gila only 4.
No one seems to be complaining about the loss of the 50% range bonus on missiles. Neither am I, that has always seemed like an unnecessary bonus on these ships that didn't fit with any of my uses for them. Maybe that could be switched out for the 50% bonus to damage for kinetic/thermal missiles. And then I could safely justify drawing a missile between the teeth of my Guristas bunny-skull like a big cigar. That's got to be the most reasonable argument posted so far.
Include an increase (over the current 10%) in drone hitpoints/damage to focus Guristas ships more on raw striking power and endurance which would emphasize a more conventional approach as a contrast to the advanced tracking and range capabilities of Gallente ships.

To those of you who keep saying a drone boat that can use all the drones is overlapping the Ishtar (that includes you DEVs), I say a drone boat that can use all the drones does not an overlap make.
It's a drone boat, a Guristas, missile slinging brick ****house of a shield-tanking drone boat. It should be able to use all the drones just as effectively as any other drone boat.
Just because a Vigilant uses medium hybrid turrets, that doesn't mean it "overlaps" the Deimos, and so we should give it one gun that does 1000% more damage to make it different.
Subtle differences in ships are difference enough for me. I never called for anyone to change the Ishtar because it's too close in capability to the Gila, even though it's often considered "superior." How would you like to see the Ishtar lose access to sentry drones and full flights of... anything?
Why should I have to roll over and be either forced into a different role or told to 'please consider another option, thanks!' other than my favorite ship. |

Being a little worried cause frigate/cruiser sized npc ships tend to eat those quickly.
I have tried it out in C1/C2 W-Space and it is still a solid choice. It's drones laugh off most attacks except for those from sleeper battleships. Canny sleepers also web your drones which can be a pain, but in all my testing I only ever lost one drone due to my own stupidity.
If you like any of the older ship models (original artwork) better than the redesign of your favorite hull and don't want them to be lost forever, support ship customization and this feature request. |

I found one either yesterday or the day before without help from CCP. But I'll admit that is the first time I've ever been able to find one in SiSi. It was either a stroke of luck or CCP has seeded more wormholes on that server.

Please submit link to video showing you soloing in a gila on sisi or I will assume you haven't tried it. Until then.... keep the whole annoying again.. again comments to yourself.
I've been keeping them at about 8-17km from me while brawling with sleepers which seems to work pretty well. I might make a video for proof soon, but currently there are copious amounts of lag on SiSi for some odd reason which is making micromanagement a pain in the butt and doesn't make for good cinema.
