It'll be a nonsense EFT warrior special.
Fury missiles, everything heated, implants, 4 faction BCU.
All to get to barely more spike DPS than a T2 gila with no heat can basically sustain.
See, that's the thing, the gila numbers quoted here are real - you'll fight these fits. That is why they are so scary. |

- Rage missiles don't apply well to anything. - 16km range. - Kin/therm damage, worst damage types in the game. Any Caldari or Gallente T2 cruiser destroys you on this fact alone. |

The gila's missile dmg bonus is only for kin/therm missiles. |

800 dps in drones alone, missiles are the top layer to a very hard punch. Plus you have 66k EHP in the drone bay.
The ship is overpowered. Either the Drone bay needs to be downsized or the bonus needs to be nerfed slightly. Like I said before, a skilled pilot with the right ship can kill a Gila. But a Gila can kill far more with a mediocre pilot.

That's kinda because the Guristas rework came coupled to the drone rework. With old drone tracking, guristas would be pretty much ****, with the new version though they're godlike. "I honestly thought I was in lowsec"

But most of its damage come from the drones. No way do drones get near 1000dps. That number comes because of overheated assaults. The drones themselves are closer to 500-600ish. With 2 drone mods in the lows I get just over 500dps from drones and 200dps from fury. 700dps is far from overpowered. They only way it hits the 1000dps range is with overheated Assaults and fully fit for damage, meaning you will not have much of a tank and much of your dps has very short range.
Gila is a decent ship, but it's fine balance wise. It's not hard to figure out how to take one down. |

I wish I could say the same for the Rattlesnake. Sure, the DPS looks good on paper. That is about all it is really good for, making EFT warriors happy. Its strength was its versatility, now gutted via -225m3 reduction in drone bay space, loss of missile velocity bonus and loss of bonuses on light and medium drones, and a specialized damage bonus that only makes it semi-worthwhile vs less than half the NPCs in EVE. |

exactly, seems like too many people can only understand one thing, DPS, not how combat actually can play out. Hence the Rattlesnake nerf. DPS centric thinking at its worst. |

700 cold DPS is Apocalypse-like DPS.
That being said, the Deimos and Vigilant hit for around 700 dps. But the Gila is not a blaster ship and does not suffer from the same damage projection issues. |

A gila can get around to 800 dps with rapid lights and t2 drones alone in a reasonable fit, no bling. Add augmented drones and you have a recipe for destruction with over 900 dps comming out of a cruiser hull that isnt hard to apply or project even to frigates past 30km. The ship does have a lot of things you can play around, though and doesent scale so well in larger gangs. It is solid but I dont think it needs nerfs. Perhaps a dronebay reduction in both the gila and worm are fine.
The rattlesnake could honestly use a rework. Its like ccp has troubles understanding that mirroring thematic bonuses from frigates to battleships doesent work too well most of the time. .. |

Because you obviously have such large amount of solo Gila kills. If this isn't your main, then go find me a solo kill on a gila, that wasn't shitfit. (hint I looked, they are hard to find.)
Also a fully fit Gila for damage? It's a shield tank, it doesn't lose tank for damage. And a MWD Gila, with Assaults overheating rage, shoving out 1030dps, still will get a 60k buffer tank, plus a web and point. Psychotic Monk for CSM9

Full T2, no faction will kick out over 850DPS with cold fury light missiles and T2 hammers.
Fit includes prop mod, point and 82k EHP.
Augmented hammers make that 921 DPS. Add heat and it is 960.
Now, granted RLML have a reload time, but these numbers are still pretty eye watering. |

They are supposed to be the strongest ships. They are the most expensive ships as well.

An orthrus with RLM's and integrated hobgoblins gets 983 DPS with a 5% bonus to light missile damage, goes 4km/s and can get a 1.4k DPS Asb tank. Not to mention pointing at 70+kms or the possibility of a 30km scram. The pirate ships all stand out as viable options for PVP, the gila just climbed the ladder faster than other ships. People need to step back and look at all of them. I mean the cynabal can get 22km/s with a certain ( non Combat ) fit. they all have something they do well you just have to look for it.
The Orthrus is by far my fav cruiser for the moment ...if you use it for what it is designed for (quick engagements) it's a pretty nasty boat. For PVE ratting it's a great boat too. I never use the Tengu anymore.. nuff said :) |

A ship that has only one counter is not a balanced ship. Orthrus can kill a Gila, A GOOD pilot with a Orthrus can kill a Gila, but a lot of stuff can kill a Orthrus, Basically anything that can catch it with webs, or a scam Loki, Huginn, proteus, and so forth. Psychotic Monk for CSM9

None of these ships can kill an Orthrus. Loki/Huginn can hold it down for someone else to kill, but we're talking about 1v1 here. |

I've never encounter a fight 1v1 fight between an Orthrus and a Loki before, but the Duel web range of a loki and an arty set seems less than ideal, however like I said, I never had the fight so I can't really say...it just seems like a bad fight because of the superior tank of the loki, and similar dps.
Huginn, I can see it being better for the Orthrus, but I can still see the Orthrus having a hard time.
As for web comment, yeah, but I just factor the web in anyways, XP You can still get that 60k buffer with web. I would personally count a web as a control mod, but that would be debatable. Psychotic Monk for CSM9

I personally have most experience in cruiser size ships so let me do some comparison there.
Gila vs Cynabal - cynabal can actually kite faster than medium drones. But keeping point at the same time is going to be hard and gila can recall the drones when shot at. I would call it a draw
Gila vs Orthrus - The point range on Orthus is much longer so he can actually kite nearly outside of gilas drone control range. So it can shoot drones and it takes a long time for gila to scoop them back so they don't apply damage. Orthrus wins
Gila vs Phantasm Here it is pretty hard. Phantasm cant reasonably kill gila in 1 vs 1. Yet gila is unlikely to be able to hold down phantasm and prevent it from running. So the fight is actually unlikely to happen and would end in a draw
Gila vs Ashimmu The Gila has clear advantage here as it does not need cap for its weapons. So this fight would be hands down win for Gila
Gila vs Stratios This could be really interresting fight. and frankly I am not sure which one would win. It could go both ways depending on which resist holes are plugged and how well vs which drones are enemy using. But I would probably give the win to Gila
Gila vs Vigilant Given the 90% web and good blaster tracking the vigilant can easily kill those super drones of Gila. Then the gila would do only small amount of damage against the vigilant's stronger resist. I would say Vigilant wins
So let me have a look at results. Gila 2x wins, 2x loses and 2x ends in the draw. I would say it is pretty balanced. |

My Gila doesn't want a Nerf, she prefers to do what she is designed to do 
Also the idea to reduce drone bay size, no thanks. How would you like to have no cargo bay to hold your different types of Ammo, well drones are the Gila's Ammo. |

Are they the strongest ships though? A Vaga more than holds it's own against a Cynabal and they're basically variants of one another. I've no experience with em but what about an Ishtar going at a Gila (drone boats).
I'm all for pirate ships being really boss, I do believe the T2 (or certain T3 setups) ships should trump them though. |

I don't think anything can realistically kill a Stratios that uncloaks 2km away and applies two webs. That basically removes the drawback of fitting oversized plates and RAH is > drone boats. |
