No boobies then
As a name, Rokh is cool though, has my pronunciation I think (roke, rather than rock).
Abaddon will be an evil ship in the short term, but long term a slightly pathetic fighter I think. If I ever see one without an injector, I will be very surprised.
The Rokh will be quite good, and will have awesome volley damage (think best sniper ever created). Due to the 8th turret (with no damage bonus), it will have pretty good DPS, while outdoing the mega at all. Should be a ***** to fit. Seems a bit of a departure from traditional caldari though.
Hyperion: Blasters 4tw . If it has 8 turrets, it will be ridiculous. With 7, it would be OK, because mega would still do more damage (drones 4tw) but get in range slower.
Maelstrom DOES outdamage tempest with only projectiles counted. Should be a fun ship, and another amazing sniper. Awesome volley damage. Should completely obseleterise (yes, I made the word up, OK?) the artypoc. Shield tanking isn't all that cool though IMO.

Come on CCP, you know you want to!!!
/emote imagines ship with Crystals...
Bet you'd never have the CPU.
Awesome though
Might need to switch down to 650mms for grid too. Just guessing though. If your setup fits, it will be totally overpowered

Originally by: Ather Ialeas Hyperion - After reading both the bonuses and your mumble about it I literally thought "What the ****!?". Lets elaborate. That capacitor increase is nuts, I even thought it's a typo. When normally all the other ships get that -25% when fitting MWD you're basically giving this one +25%.
I take it you have never flown gallente, because you are just kneejerk trolling. That is exactly the bonus many of the gallente blaster ships (like Deimos/Thorax) have.
Originally by: Ather Ialeas On top of that it's faster than Megathron and because of that crappy targeting range isn't an issue unless it's something like 10km or so which I highly doubt. Drones...well, if you can't use them for damage then use them for EW and logistics. So the basic scenario would be that tackle with drones, complement with a medslot or two, MWD right next to it (with enough cap to scare little children) and tear target to pieces. This is a PWNMOBILE with I Win Button II and at the moment I highly believe that this is the most imbalanced of these four. You lose two and half points.
You fail to realise they still cost you damage, and suck at EW. Mega wins pure gank, and wins EW.
Originally by: Ather Ialeas Maelstorm - OK, rof bonus is nice since we all know that rof is what makes projectiles suck by default. Shield boost bonus is interesting, but then again if you mix that with faction mods you need to go and get TomB's nerfbat and whack the faction mods to oblivion . So it seems that Maelstorm will be slightly better than Tempest which is nice. One one point gained.
Faction mods are not valid for balancing of ships. They are only important for balancing faction mods.

Originally by: Jim McGregor
Originally by: Moornblade Why use the Rokh to snipe? Why not use blasters and have an 18km optimal range?
Im hoping it will be very slow with large mass to make that kind of setup difficult.
It's caldari. You needn't hope, it's coming

Indeed I haven't, I apparently (thank Gods) misunderstood that bonus.

Maybe I was hinting at something completely different with that comment? Read between the lines
Gist is pretty uber

Originally by: Aakron wtf lol blaster-hyperion sounds so bad...blasterthron for ever!
But in all honesty they all look to be great specs, perhaps overpowered in some areas. THe amarr one in particular will give all those that have been complaining over amarr being underpowered, something to talk about. 8 turrets with ROF bonus and 5 slot tank with 3 damage mods? maybe wow!
Not a fan of the caldari one just promoting sniping, with t2 ammo that thing will just push gate snipers further out, time will tell how good these ships really are though
Bla-ster-on, or, Blast-eer-ion
I like it :P
I'd use blasterion (pronounced Blast-eer-ion). Sounds pretty cool.

Originally by: ZombyDog Is it wrong that I'm hanging out for the Tier 2 BC stats more than the Tier 3 BS?
Caldari get a missile BC, I'm missile specced. No, you aren't the only one.

Originally by: Xailia
Originally by: Tux Now you might be asking your self what is the use of megathron then? Well not everything is better on the Hyperion, it has really crappy targetting range, and I mean really crappy. It also has smaller drone bay than Megathron and obviously better tracking. Megathron would therefor be considerable better long range ship, while still being a decent blaster boat.
There, fixed.
You really need to add a bonus for that

Originally by: BoinKlasik wait a ******* second.... base optimal on 425iis = 57km 57*1.5 (required sharpshooter 5) *2 (spike)*1.5 (bs5 rare, but useful in any case) optimal of almost 214... 1 tracking comp 2 puts us to 245.8 yay warp core stabs! i guess.
Corrected.
Sharpshooter is 5%/level, not 10%. Seems you've included that right though in the maths

I was actually thinking of the gun from Quake 2 ;)
I'd forgotten about that. I spent so much longer on UT

Noriath, I replied to the crosspost (with an alt) in ships and mods. Crossposting your replies does not make you cool.

Originally by: Dilskin I see a bunch of gunboats that can use 7 or 8 guns. Where is the missile boat (of any race) that can use 8 launchers? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Originally by: Dilskin Ravens are so "Balanced" they are literally banned from many Fleets.
/Sarcasm
Raven is not a fleet ship. If anyone tries that, I'll be happy to go up against their tackling retribution.

I just did a bit of maths on a Null-Rokh.
17km optimal, 16km falloff, no tracking mods or implants. Maxed skills ofc.
