CCP Rise wrote:I'll get together with the other balance guys and talk about the Cynabal asap and get back to you all. We talked initially about the overlap between Angel and Minmatar and decided to try and make it work without making large changes. All three Angel ships are very popular (relative to other pirate faction ships) and generally regarded as 'fun' as far as I know, so risking negative impact with a bigger change didn't seem worthwhile.
I'll make sure we take another look though.
Maybe consider giving it a Warp-speed role bonus? Dramiel gets Ceptor speed, Cyna gets Frig speed, Mach gets Cruiser speed? |

Oh god no not the massive herds of 90% web ships ruining the game...oh wait thats not a thing never mind stop crying about being webbed.
Awesome changes Rise I have no overall complaint about 90% webs, I think they are fine. However apparently Rise thinks that 90% webs on the Blood Raiders are the problem in a world where 90% webs on Serpentis ships are what people run into and complain about. Then proceeds to buff said Serpentis ships, while neutering the Blood Raiders. Try to stop and think before you post next time. |

In seriousness though, the PG amounts on Cynabal and Gila are worrying me a lot.
Gila used to completely forgo any missiles since it was focused on the sentry range and lack of CPU after drone module. While these super-bonused mediums do a lot of damage, the new Gila gets a very strong missile DPS bonus, but sort of lacks the powergrid to do anything with that. I have to EFT it up a bit but it just seems pretty awkward.
On Cynabal as others have stated already it's pretty disappointing since the ship wasn't terribly strong before. It also basically removes the kiting arty cynabal, a niche role for the ship which I really enjoyed. With the other fast cruisers (namely vagabond) as strong as they are, it's hard for me to justify this nerf.
You are trolling or what : 12 effective medium drones + 6 effective launchers ( as many as you get on ashimmu - and majority of its dps comes from those turrets) is not enough ? hell even if you mount standard rocket launchers/ lml instead of rapids - damage is still going to be substantial.
YES people forget you can use rocket launchers/ light missile launchers on such boat . And sure you won't lack pwg/cpu for those.
But it does not mean you won't be able to fit rapids. Can't eft thing now tho.
But any complains on Gila performance are joke right ? I don't complain myself i still have to sell many worms/gilas/rattles ... But don't get too crazy.
Too overpowered hull will get nerfed very fast aswell. Keep it just overpowered, |

In EVE, yes, when its broken, everybody uses it, if everybody isn't using it, its probably not really broken and just strong in a certain niche of the game, that niche might happen to be where you are, but I'm sorry, EVE needs more ships that are strong in a certain area and weak in others, its called uniqueness and it makes the game better than everything being some generic hodgepodge of our standard stats.
Serpentis ships excel in certain areas, and only in those areas, in everything else you can do they're mediocre at best, which is good game balance. Malcanis - Without drone assign, the slowcat doctrine will wither and die.

BadAssMcKill wrote: True true, however the Vigilant is only going to get max ~18km webs while the Loki gets like 47km
You also have less mids to play around with depending on the configuration less tank but more speed and more dps
But I've never really seen 90% webs are broken, sure there could be some balancing effort made but its a nice bit of flavor and makes Serpentis ships useful
At 18k on a non regional gate, with a Vigi at zero it's going to have coverage over pretty much every place you can spawn, if it webs you your going nowhere, the camp is then for all intents and purposes inescable as soon as the second web lands.
In WH space virtually all combat takes place on a WH and within a 15km3 volume of space, so a properly fit vigi, (2 or 3 web) on zero will pull you down to an absurdly slow velocity, once you get a target ship down to below 38m/s cap guns will track you very well and you will explode.
In the arenas/situations I've seen the ship being used in, it dominates the field because the bonus is absurdly OP and it does not scale well, hence my proposal to have the web strength falloff as the hull size increases.
There are other possible solutions to this problem, like the one Michael proposed, or you could simply only allow one bonused web to be fitted to the hull, although this would not scale well, as people would just put more hulls on the field imo. |

I am not a fan of the Gila change. I mean Medium drones would really need an AMAZING balance to even begin to make up for what it is currently. At the moment the GIla is the mini-Rattlesnake. Solid tank, great drones, highly versatile.
I don't see this change being the same.
Bandwidth for only 4 unbonused light drones means dealing with Frigs will be painful, even more so as a DRONE BOAT.. And I don't like droneboats being FORCED to use a specific type of drone regardless of situation.
Here's my idea, since clearly you don't want to have it fielding Sentries/Heavies as effectively.
Change the bonus from MEDIUM drones, to ALL drones. It'll still be only able to field 2 Mediums, or 4 Lights. But at least the lights will be bonused, and able to remain effective against frigs.
The other things to remember about these drone changes. CCP what you are doing is Locking these ships into a PVE role forever, as it denies them the ability to use their drones for EWAR.. Being able to field 5 light ECM drones, or any other drones should CCP get around to making them, you know, useful, is a big deal. It gives you the chance to get out of trouble, or to hold a target at bay. Now I know the Gila is a PVE Queen now as it is, but it will only be moso now, after this. Which is kind of a shame given that it's a PIRATE hull.
Maybe a hull bonus to the effectiveness of ECM/Neut/Web/etc drones too ? Might open up a lot of new doors for it outside of a just a mission queen. |

Sansha just seems like a completely broken concept now.
And lol at all the people getting excited that the Phantasm will be travelling some ridiculous speed, completely forgetting the fact that it is not a tengu or a loki fitted with missiles, so your going to be hitting f all.
Edit - Why not just balance the armour and shield of the sansha ships now, including the succubus, because if you are seriously wanting to offer people a dual option to tank, then the stats should reflect that. You are talking like almost mwd speed that is not getting owned my scram is not godsend thing ... mkay. You can manually adjust your speed while flying ... and pilot your ship also - instead of orbiting 24/7. It helps to hit stuff, trust me. But you can also just move fast as hell to catch something you want to catch or disengage if you have to. You are really thinking it's nothing ? Cmon. Nah 2 more lows are good stuff - you can armor tank it now. But sure you are not forced to do so. 6 mids are still 6 mids - that is a lot on cruiser. If people shield tank cruisers with 3 or 4 mids - i'm sure you can still shield tank ship with 6 mids. Look at lows as place where you can get nanos, heat sinks, tracking enhancers (for your problem to hit the stuff - it also does work better on phantasm due to hull tracking bonus). Phantasm is strong, period - about the fking time ;). Perhaps try reading what I wrote next time. I didn't say it wasn't strong, I just said the concept is broken. It is a mishmash of everything, shield, speed, armour, lasers. I would prefer a much more elegant concept, rather than the hatchet job proposed. |

Why is the missile bonus on the Gila damage-type-specific? One of the main advantages of missiles is the ability to switch damage types, and yet you cripple that with hull bonuses only to some types.
As a Rattlesnake pilot, I'm really worried what you're going to do to it. Losing light drone bonuses = frigates become much harder to deal with. Bonuses only to certain missile types = some missions are harder than others.
The Guristas line are the only shield tanked drone boats...why are you doing this experimental "specific drones only" nerfing to them, when there are several armor drone boats to do it to that still leave people with some choices? |

EDIT: Calling something uncounterable because its counter isn't in your standard ship compliment seems silly, adapt your ship types if you're seeing a lot of Vigilants to include the things that easily counter them.

Hmm.. The Phatasm and Gila changes are a bit too much to get my head around on first read. For the others though:
Ashimmu: Generally good but losing the extra high slot hits it's (current primary) role as the best small gang neuting T1 cruiser hull. The maller will now be almost as good for a lot less isk, which seems kinda weird.
Vigilant: Liking the boost to speed, it really needed that. Not sure why you felt the need to nerf PG. Most of my fits are a little tight as it is.
Cynabal: Good. It was in the right place as is. |

It strikes me that the Gila has just become a close-range drone bone now. Besides, two drones are going to seem really innocuous, until you start to get hit by them.
Can you imagine a couple gilas peppered into a fleet with a lot of other drone ships? You'll be looking for the Gila's drones to kill, but you won't be able to find them. Very sneaky. |

Yeah just get 10 of your friends, and put 5 of them in 150k ehp guardians that rep 3k dps each, then put 3 people into keres, and then 2 people into absolutions and I bet you can fight off any ship you want. Just l2p noob |

The Ashinmu will now use its webs to get into neut range. It always had strong webs and strong neuts but its ability to get in range and use those was its draw back. Now it'll hold you down at range and drive over to neut you and apply damage, not bad really.
Gila is insane, tracking on Hobs? .922, Tracking on Valks? 1.44 at 744 dps.....oh mother.
Phantasm is worrisome, its a gun ship, going fast doesn't really do great things for its damage application, probably still be able to get some nice low sig kite fits out of it though
Cynabal may have to make some choices now instead of its current 'sprinkle the hangar on it, it'll fit' status.
I am super excited about the Battleship thread, these pirate changes are the best you guys have done throughout all of the tier reviews, and I say that as a guy fully in love with his malediction right now. Malcanis - Without drone assign, the slowcat doctrine will wither and die.

Hey nice rollerskates under your argument there, you say it makes smaller shipo irrelevant and I name you 5 smaller ships that aren't irrelevant and you change the direction of the argument to some absurd crap.
You can probably do better than that, try sticking to one thread of your argument at a time, you were saying something about making smaller ships irrelevant?
