well we can speculate that the missle bonus is a part of the old "heresy" about roden ships becoming missle bonused - so that would make sense and secondly nope you cant rework guri ships to your dream missle pirate faction  |

Well I currently rat with 2 Gila and one Rattlesnake utilizing 15 sentry drones. I guess that's out of the window now 
If I stay with the Gila my drones will now have travel time and being hopeless with numbers I have no idea how the damage will compare to sentry drones.
The changes look good.... just not for me lol |

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.
correct. The overlap argument is completely ridiculous. The only similarity between Guristas and Gallente are the use of drones. Missiles, shield-tanking, the hull, stats and maneuverability are all typical of Caldari. |

Xavier Thorm wrote: I also say that it would not be difficult at all to make the Gila capable of the role CCP is currently pushing on it (medium drone specialist) without limiting it to that role alone. I usually refrain from posting numbers, because I'm not a developer, but just as an example:
Caldari Cruiser: 4% to all shield resistance
Gallente Cruiser: 10% bonus to drone damage and hitpoints
Role Bonus: 50% bonus to medium drone damage and hitpoints 25% Kinetic and Thermal missile damage
Drones (bandwidth / bay) 50 / 200
The above bonuses fit the racial specializations better, smooth the skillpoint curve of the ship between its weapon systems, and allow specialization in medium drones without limiting versatility as much as the current changes. My numbers may not be prefect, but I would much rather see the Guristas go in this direction than in the (currently proposed) very limited one.
Damn it; That is a really good idea.
Can still throw out a flight of Lights, ECM's or logi drones if needed.
Gives it the medium drone specialization without taking away all of its versatility. |

Sure, I'll grant you that from a drone standpoint it's actually a fairly good idea. Which means the chances of it being implemented are less than zero.

They can be fairly easily inferred from the cruiser changes. The Vindi stays the same, probably loses some grid. The Bhaalgorn gets a web range bonus (which will be beyond evil) and probably also loses some grid, the Machariel gets *** *****, the Nightmare will be a jumbled mix of concepts, and the Nestor is still the worst ship in the game.
All we are waiting for now are the particulars. And they've already told us we'll be waiting for a while.
But whether you agree or disagree with the design philosophy being put into place so far, this the cruiser thread. So stay on topic and talk about the cruisers.
Uhh...
Vindi: the grid loss wasn't a precedent set by the frigates. It was a local power change to the Vigilant. Gains lock range, but is otherwise largely unchanged. Bhaalgorn: already has web range bonus, no change there. Likely very minimal changes, it is already performing admirably in its given role, unlike the rest of the Blood Raiders. Machariel: Gets nerfed, but then due to public outcry the nerf gets rolled back slightly and all in all becomes a piece of **** that can warp a little faster. Nightmare: minimal changes, but gains an AB bonus at no loss. Meh. Nestor: no argument here.

PS; I know Rise is not solely responsible for these changes but as with anyone who takes on the role of spokesperson for something, he is publicly responsible. A good designer he may be, dealing with "paying" public is another thing entirely. Quite simply CCP Rise, step back and let someone else interact in the forums on your teams behalf - Continually showing such a lack of respect for players is not good. Oh and simply ignoring something only shows a lack of professionalism.. CCP may own the rights to EveOnline but really, it belongs to its players, don't keep trying to turn us into mushrooms Going to defend him slightly here. You're incorrect in saying it's pure lip service. They did slightly roll back the Cynabal nerf while throwing it a miniscule bone (warp speed is cool!). It may be mostly lip service, but not quite pure.
Still the thing bugging me the most in this thread is people still being incapable of adding 500% drone damage and hitpoints and instead assuming 500% drone damage and hitpoints. It's the difference between 10 and 12 effective drones, people. Get it right. (same issue in the frigates thread with the Worm.)
I'd be alright with instead of more bandwidth, a 100% bonus to light drone damage and hitpoints giving it the option of using light drones at least on par with its peers (very slightly better than every other drone bonused ship using lights), and on par with its smaller brother, the Worm. 8 effective lights give it a bit more of an ability to react while still being far from the wrecking machine the 12 mediums will be in point blank.
And really people, asking for +drone bonuses? Yes, they're unique. But if you looked at the Dev blog they're doing pretty much everything in their power to reduce the number of drones possible on field, not increase them. They halved the number of fighters/fighter bombers in MOMs by doubling bonuses, why would they increase the number of drones a far cheaper and slightly more (less in this day and age?) common subcap can use? |

In all honesty, you appear to be nothing but a bitter ******* who's upset that there has been a ship rebalance in progress for years, and they've been saying for years that they intend to look at and adjust every ship in game, and you didn't have the foresight to see any adjustments or even role changes coming (note, there has been a precedent for major role changes already. It's not hard to assume there might be some in every class/group of ships) and take that into mind before fully committing to a long train for something where you had the option to open up versatility when this was announced 2-3 years ago.
*ships with changed roles: every less than tier 3 frigate/cruiser (the old role was being ****, now we have logi, attack, no more mining frigates except the Venture) the NOmen, tier 1 Navy Cruisers, Mining Barges, Industrials... There's been a lot of ships.
More than enough of an indication of significant change to come, and that you should avoid going all in on something assuming it to stay totally intact to its present state.

We didn't spend 3 years maxing out the skills to fly a rattlesnake for you incompetent devs to change them to be "new and exciting".
Please, pull your head out of your assholes before you needlessly make a lot of people angry.

Question on the Gila regarding the Gallente cruiser bonus - how the hell did the gallente side of the ship managed to received a missile damage bonus? It's totally out of line. Drop that bonus to the caldari side, make gallente bonus involve drone bonus, like drone navigation or tracking bonus. Seriously, gallente having a missile damage bonus, really? |

Welcome to several weeks ago. Devs have already explained that the only alternative would be to put a crazy 125% per level drone bonus on the Gallente skill, which would make the ship unusable without Gallente Cruiser V - something they want to avoid.
If that's your biggest complaint, enjoy your new Gila, it's going to be fun. |

Ok I'll give you the Cynabal 
The 500% - 12 drones still equals meh. 2 Warriors with 3 DDA's = 549.25 Dps 2 Hammerheads with 3 DDA's = 634.70 + 4 bonused RML = 182.43 Dps (without reload time included)
I'm pretty sure we can agree the paper Dps looks pretty good. The problems only come about when your actually trying to engage a target. From my observations "Activation Proximity" is going to have a huge affect on applying drone dps. Unless your target is webbed and scrammed, your drones are going to spend more time MWDing into range than actually firing on a target.
If CCP were really serious about reducing the number of drones, Ishtar, Dominix, Hyperion, Armageddon all far more common and widely used than Gurista ships. The reduction for Supers to 10 bombers / fighters may have some benefit in large battles but nowhere near the benefit of not having 500 or 600 domis and their sentries on field would. If too many drones in space is the logic behind this change then Guristas ships will be the testing line and it will not be long before all ships have their bandwidth limited in the same way. Ishtar with 2 medium drones, Dominix with 2 sentry drones, Hyperion and Armageddon with 2 (unbonused?) heavy drones, Drake with 2 light drones. No idea what they would do with carriers, which are far more prevalent in large fleet fights than supers and are capable of fielding 15 fighters.
This is of course like much in this thread, is pure speculation but as the Devs have gone silent what else do we have?

Would make a lot of sense also as earlier it was mentioned that medium drones will have a lot of trouble engaging many fast targets. The Gila won't be able to switch to light drones, so perhaps a speed and tracking bonus would be the way to go. |
