But wait:
4 Turrets * (100% Bonus + 25%) = 9 Turrets
4 Turrets * 150% = 10 Turrets.

Well, I have to say, these changes do improve the shield incursion groups, and most likely the armour incursion groups.
Yes, these changes (except for the Rattlesnake) improve performance pretty much across the board for ALL potential uses of the ship classes.
So yeah, high sec was thrown a bone with this one, after god knows how many nerfs.
But we have yet to see if incursions take a nerf overall, yet.
And yeah, null sec STILL makes out nicely with this, because the vast majority of the BPC's for these ships come from null sec, so a nice buff in income for null.
We still won't see PvP fleets of pirate BS's (outside of maybe the Bhaal killing capital ship capacitors), solely based on the costs of the hulls.

I would also like to see symmetrical turrets on the Machariel, but that's a minor concern.
As I mentioned in the cruiser thread, I would prefer to see a slightly large drone bay, and small bonuses to other drones on the Guristas line. I do not want to see these ships become too narrowly focused. |

Lets be real for a sec. The Nightmare is getting explicitly buffed, that's fine, it wasn't particularly special before, and now it might be.
Bhaalgorn getting buffed as well, pretty substantially too. This is fine, maybe it will finally get used for something other than capital fights.
Vindicator. An agility buff? Alright, sweet. I don't know why but I'll take it.
Machariel I am sad about. The agility nerf is going to really alter it's feel, make it much easier to catch. Warpspeed is cool, but I bought ascendancies to take care of that. I'd rather have in combat prowess than a logistical update. I think this helps high sec mission/incursion runners but wrecks it for pvp.
Finally the rattlesnake.... it sucks. Heavy and sentry bonus exclusively, so it's pigeonholed into 2 options. Also, with a mbit of 50 and a bay of 175 it can carry 3.5 waves? seriously? just give it 200... Or give it a universal bonus. I mean a bonus to just heavy+sentry damage is already the WORST bonus it could get. Heavies are too slow (even with proposed changes to heavy dronse) and sentries are made by the opti/tracking bonus a la dominix/ishtar. The current rattlesnake is vastly preferable to the on you've proposed. Either give it a general drone damage bonus (tragic these days really) or give it the bonuses necessary to make heavies/sentries competitive - heavy+sentry tracking, and heavy drone velocity (I am omitting sentry optimal deliberately here) |

That's just silly. The Mach runs a shield fit for most purposes just fine with 5 mids. My high sec missioning Mach can do most level 4's without ever needing to use the shield booster, as it is. (And it's T2 Omni-tanked, no bling.) And, if I remember correctly, they are actually supposed to be like the Minmatar, using shield or armor at need. |

Very glad the Rattlesnake keeps it bonus to sentry drones. I assume it had to keep it, as there is just no real alternative in drone boat choices. The dominix and armageddon can not really compete DPS wise or tank wise. So if you are a "drone as main weapon" pilot, the Rattlesnake was the only viable choice.
If they take away the sentries from a Rattlesnake, they would have to add a new drone boat in, as otherwise there would be nothing to fly for the drone pilots.
Also to all who are crying "overpowered", the Rattlesnake has no tracking bonus on drones, no range bonus on drones, so those sentries will have trouble hitting.
It is funny, whenever people see sentries.. first cry is "totally overpowered". A thread i opened to state that there is a lack of choices in ships for drone as main weapon pilots got shot down by "overpowered" cries. And saying "you have the Rattlesnake, so shut up".
So i am very glad we get to keep the Rattlesnake at least. I really hope it stays as it is proposed now - even though i would have loved a ship that focuses more on drones, instead of relying on other weapon systems all too much.
I still hope that somewhere down the line, once all ships are rebalanced, and the devs may turn to adding in new ships, that there will be room for new drone boats. I'd really love to see a t2 drone boat battleship, for some more choices for us drone lovers.
If it was for me, i would change the rattle to more drone dmg bonus, more drone tracking, and reduce the launchers to a bare minumum. So it has the same dps as now, but like 90-95% from drones.. instead 50/50 as it is now.
As is stands i also take the buff to the launchers, as long as i get to keep the sentries on them. |

Odd, just in the last two weeks we have fought a Machariel fleet and a Rattlesnake fleet. And that is just in a week.
They are more common than you think, most groups with suicide triage will escalate to them

well i already have the stats into EVE HQ and made up a fit
so these will be the stats at all lvl 5 skills / no implants / no fleet boosts
first the fitting:
[Nightmair Post, incur]
Damage Control II
Ammatar Navy Heat Sink
Ammatar Navy Heat Sink
Ammatar Navy Heat Sink
Ammatar Navy Heat Sink
Domination Tracking Enhancer
Gist X-Type 100MN Afterburner

Tachyon Beam Laser II, Gleam L
Small Tractor Beam II
Imperial Navy Large Remote Capacitor Transmitter
Large Anti-Thermal Screen Reinforcer II
Large Core Defense Field Extender II
Large Core Defense Field Extender II
Hobgoblin II x5
the pith A tank it a bit much imo, but this will be the top end specs
DPS: 1 089 (guns 990 / drones 99) some will say this is low but its before implants
gun Tracking: 0.0439
Tank: 162 k EHP (shield HP 18 990 / Res EM:83 TH:82 KI:83 EX:86) over tanked for incursions
Cap: lasts 4 min gleam loaded (assuming no use of tractor beam or cap exfer)
Speed: 867m/s (i know this is the one you all be wanting to know, that 12m/s faster than a MWD fit)
Sig: 417 (it will never git bigger than this with out TPs, although this is a little bigger than norm cause of the 3 shild rig but after boosts any bloom you get will be irrelevant)
Scan res: 137.5 (little higher than it used to be, not much noticable)
after implants and boosts i don't the need for cap exfers will be needed (at lest in terms of buddies) this fit i know is over tanked so rigs could be adjusted for damage upgrades but the 4 HS makes that redundant and the 3 TC + TE make any tracking and range upgrades redundant. i would mention that the amount of CPU and PG remaining is massive (246.5 CPU and 3 641.05 grid) mayby drone rigs to make more effective with all the CPU and a cal navy PDU or DDA instead of the TE. |

So running the numbers on the rattle, cant say i agree with the drone bay / heavy / sentry bonus. Its basically been minorly buffed on singular drone EHP while loosing the versatility of a full drone bay. If anything I'm worried that this is a testing ground for future changes to other drone boats and i do not like the direction. |

The current rattlesnake is vastly preferable to the on you've proposed. Either give it a general drone damage bonus (tragic these days really) or give it the bonuses necessary to make heavies/sentries competitive - heavy+sentry tracking, and heavy drone velocity (I am omitting sentry optimal deliberately here) That Mach "bonuses" are not helping incursioners, Mach will sit on gate alone and wait if he gets in fleet, because for sniping Nightmare is geting way over mach
Then the mach pilots better get to training Nightmares. Just like I (night mare pilot) was told to train mach a couple years ago lol. No one (especially CCP) ever told anyone that "you will never have to reship".
