Theese new ships are the worst thing to ever happen to Eve.
The Rokh is such utter bullcrap, it just proves that Caldari get everything handed to them, not only do they get the best EW and the best ratter, now they also have the best fleetship in the game.
The devs in this game have really completly lost it, 8 rails with optimal bonus, so now if you're a Caldari noob you can compete and outperform with high skilled people of other races in every department. I think someone at CCP believes that game balance means that there should be an easy noobish way to compete with everyone else.
Oh yea, the Rokh isn't overpowered because it does less damage. Except it uses ammo with twice the damage to hit at the same range...
Abaadon? What the heck are you even thinking? "It can run a better tank then an apoc and put out more firepower then a Geddon, but it can't do both at the same time" What the hell is that even supposed to mean? Maybe someone at CCP didn't get the memo that a ship that is fitted for ganking cannot be fitted for tanking at the same time anyways and vice versa! So what does the Abbadon accomplish? Oh yea, it makes both other Amarr ships useless! (I mean, even more uesless, all other races are useless now that Caldari can do everything the best)
Hyperion, oh yea, we totally needed another blasterboat, every Gallente has been waiting for another ******* blasterboat, we just don't have enough of them. What is this stupid dribble about the Megathron being a better long range ship because it has more tracking and dronespace?! Newsflash, tracking doesn't do jack at range, and drones don't have any significant range. Right, it's all balanced because Hyperion has no lock range, hooray for lock range. I mean why add something that Gallente doesn't have, like an EW ship maybe when you can just as well add something that slightly one ups one of the two possiblilities to set up a well rounded combat ship.
Maelstrom? "It has 8 turrets. It doesn't outdamage the Tempest as the Tempest gets a rate of fire and a damage bonus but Maelstrom's 8 turrets do outdamage Tempest's 6 turrets." So that basicly means it does outdamage the Tempest unless the tempest uses two launchers? Well that's just swell, except nobody cares if the DPS is slightly higher on a ship that is all about burst damage when another ship can deliver more of that. So what do we do with our Tempests now? Throw on a bunch of launchers and autocanons - oh, wait, there is a ship like that, starts's with a T too, looks like a junksausage...
Theese new ships are horrible and should not be added to the game. They don't bring any better balance to the game, they don't fill any roles that the different races are missing to be well rounded and viable to use without Caldari support, and they make a lot of existing ships and setups obsolete in their roles.
This entire thing is an entirely stupid stunt to please the idiots who don't want something that's acctually new, but something that's better, regardless of wether it screws up the games balance. The only race that gets something new to their arsenal is Caldari, and now they are even more ridiculously overpowered then before, and have absoloutly nothing they can't do.
