Well personally I think the biggest problem with the Deimos is the Thorax's MWD bonus. I personally feel it should be changed to a 10% per gallente cruiser level and the description needs to be changed to represent the actual stat change, increases cap by x% when fitting a MWD. This change should apply to both the Thorax and Deimos.
The ship also suffers from a high base sig, low agility, and rather low base speed that are all rather detrimental to the intended role of the ship. The ship needs a minor sig reductions, needs a mass reduction, and it needs to have its base speed increased by 10 or 20 m/s.
I do not think the ship needs any changes of any sort to fitting. If you want to field a decent tank use electrons, med nos, passive resistance modules and a med rep. Even with electrons and a single damage mod the ship does insane amounts of dps, It is completely unreasonable to ask that the ship be able to field ions or nuetrons with a decent tank.

Umm, but that isn't the actual stat change.
Yes it is... The MWD subtracts 25% max cap from the ship, the thorax's ship bonuss then increases cap by 25% only when a mwd is fitted. Quick fit lies, you will have 93.75% of your original cap when fitting a MWD and cruiser skill at 5.
Not at a computer that can shrink files sizes for the web at the moment however I will post screen within a couple of hours.

I think I'm going to have to agree that Gallente do not need another solo pwnmobile HAC. For this reason I do not think the deimos needs to swap its 6th high for a 4th mid as it will just turn the ship into a Brutix with a better tank and more dps, the Deimos needs to keep its weakness of easily being nossed out. I also feel that the Deimos should recieve no improvents with the Ishtar being the way it is. If the Deimos is to be improved like it should the Ishtar needs to lose a slot as currently the Ishtar does not follow the trend of almost all other drone ships, large drone bay = loss of slots in comparison to other ships of the same class and tier.
So I'm going to maintain my suggestestions posted earlier in the thread however like I stated above they should only be implemented if the Ishtar recieves the nerf it deserves. Remove a midslot from the Ishtar and slighly buff the deimos by what ever means seem most reasonable and I think Gallente HACs will be more enjoyable as a whole.
P.S. Sorry for turning this into a nerf Ishtar whine

It has been suggested that making a high slot a med slot makes it a better brutix (more or less). This is a great idea. Deimos > Brutix > Thorax. That is in fact the exact ship progression I am aiming for (with a BS in there somewhere ofc).
I personally Feel that HACs should just be extremely specialized varients of their parent cruiser, in this case the Thorax. The thorax's biggest weakness is that it has rather large cap problems, this weakness should extend over to the Deimos. I strongly believe that giving the Deimos the option to fit a cap injector while using tacklign mids would greatly overpower the ship. Currently you have to chose between dropping a web or scram to use an injector, being forced to make sacrifcies is often a good thing for ballance.
I personally do not think HACs should simply displace BCs. BCs should maintain their cap and sometimes firpower/tank advantage over HACs. The large advantage HACs have and should only have over BCs is that they are faster, more agile, and have much better resistances.
