I think it has good versitility as it is and that is key to it.
Maybe add one or two turret hard points?

One point that everyone seems to forget with the minmatar line is that it is not always about overwhelming dps to win the fight. Granted at the BS level the point is a bit moot. But I think that the option to fit more turrets in general to the tempest may help it. If anyone could look at the numbers that would be awesome lol.
If the tempest is supposed to be an attack BS maybe increase it's agility?
The Ishtar does have amazing range projection. Maybe just a reduction to sentry range on the Ishtar? That way if it wants to project range it's stuck with its rail guns.

Fishbone wrote:Novel idea
If someone wants to deploy sentries, lock the ship in place beside the drones, that way you no longer get these huge chains of drones that are abandoned based on the flow of battle. Wonder how many people would actually field ishtars if they were forced to sit with their sentry drones. Heaven forbid you help lock a ship into a specific role, like the ishtar was designed for.
Would be simple, you have the ground work already in place. Look at Cyno's - they are -100% speed, and unable to really do anything other than defend itself while the cyno is lit. Sentry drones deployed basicly equals a lit cyno, if that makes sense.
Just my 0.02 isk.
Interesting idea. How about just reduce sentry control range dramatically? |

an 8/4/7 tempest still doesnt tank as much as a mega, still doesnt do as much dps as a mega and doesnt even have the grid to fit 800's, meta neuts, cap booster, prop mod and 2x1600's.
even a tempest with a 7th gun and 8/4/7 layout it doesnt match up to a mega, but with a little grid love and combat role it may make a hefty artie platform. take away some drone bay and make it very gun boat like.
I think one of the things people seem to be forgetting is that Minmatar are not Gallente. You are right it will never do as much damage as a mega, nor should it. Minmatar has never necessarily been about doing the most DPS. If you want the most raw DPS go Gallente, if you want good range control and speed go Minmatar.
Granted these are all kind of moot points at the battleship level. Even at the lower ships sizes though Minmatar hulls didn't really out DPS close range blaster boats. Its all about range control or at least it should be in my opinion. |
