This thread is about minmatar. You can say anything you want in it as long as it is related to minmatar. Later on, when this page becomes as long as the Amarr one, we will just point at this thread and whine about Tuxford not replying to get what we want.
Ok, im going to start off by saying that the new minnie bc looks like its going to rock. Armor tanking ftw!
Oh, and boost minmatar.

By the way...
I would LOVE if Tuxford replied to this thread at page 1. That would be so insanely funny.

Originally by: Quarantine I've always been curious if and how the Titan's gang bonus stacks with several Ragnaroks in your gang. Would be fairly interesting to see how small you can get the signature of a ceptor with max skills, pirate imps, a gangassist bc and (several?) Ragnaroks.
Dont bother discussing anything serious here... i expect this thread to get locked soon. :) And i dont blame the mods. Actually they should lock the amarr one too.......

Hail is actually VERY explosive damage oriented. However, the speed nerf makes it unusable in most situations.

And oh, let the boring caldari be the midslot specialists if they want. Make us armor tanking hardcore raiders with blazing guns and battle scars in our hulls. Yarr!

Originally by: Tachy Please get the Minmatar, Thukker and Ammatar storylines, agents, stations, missions and mission rewards sorted.
Wanna know why many Minmatar, Thukker and Ammatar (RP) pilots left EVE in disgust?
Yes.

Originally by: Sarmaul
One of the reasons was that Thukker set the Republic to - standings without even a single news article or storyline event. IIRC, this meant Thukker missions would involve killing Republic ships, something most people didn't want to do as Thukker aren't the Minmatar pirate faction (Angels get that role).
Ah, so ccp messed it up for the roleplayers then. Didnt know that. Sounds a bit clumsy of them. Maybe thats why they hate minmatar btw...

Well yes, hail is indeed much explosive, but it's T2 ammo. I think T1 ammo should have explosive damage more often as well.
Remove speed penalty on hail, add falloff penalty? say... -30% falloff? That would match the extra loss of optimal the blaster T2 has 0.5 * 0.7 = 0.35 (or -65%)
Im basicly saying yes by default to any penalty except speed. Your suggestion sounds like a good one too.

Originally by: Blind Man Edited by: Blind Man on 30/07/2006 16:20:21 the sleipnir is not overpowered.

Pretty nice, but its actually not overpowered compared to the Vulture or Nighthawk.

Quiet, the Maelstrom will still do the most damage against unresisted armour (i.e. 99% of ships in fleet fights).
What setup did you have in mind? The dps with artillery seems very low. Your thinking of the ammo types?

Originally by: Tachy The Hyperion still isn't a ship for running missions.
Fat unsustainable tank ftl ... I don't think it will have a cargohold big enough to allow for sufficient ammo and cap boosters.
Well, i dont even want a mission running ship for the minmatar. There is no need for it, since the Raven will always be a better choice simply because it can spam missiles.

Yeah, I know it rocks for missions. You should have Torpedoes 5 by now too, right? But either way, using Typhoon or Raven, we dont need another mission runner.
We do need something to deal with that Hyperion though...

Thank god... I've managed to reach the thinky-thinky part of you. Now go back and review my raven thread way back where you pulled the same crap. Why? Because I've paid my agent to give up your location and I will be forced to do dreadful things to you unless you start reading what I post from now on!
I havent intentionally avoided them.

Not as far as I know :)
There's a very good reason why I've shut up complaining about artillery in fleet fights :P
How do you feel about giving the Maelstrom DMG instead of ROF btw?

You do have quite a bit of drone space on that Typhoon though. Should make up for some of the damage, right?

I dont think its wise to show you anything where minnie can somehow be better than Caldari. I know you will whine about it until caldari gets boosted.

Although it's a dumb setup (and almost totally useless), the typhoon does actually have the highest possible DPS of all the battleships IIRC.
Ive run some dps graphs and the mega has about 200-300 higher dps actually...typhoon is around 1000, mega around 1200-1300 depending on damage mods and ammo used.

With Quake and 3 damage mods, it will have an alpha strike of 7000 damage. As much as mere thought of it makes me very happy in the pants, it's a wee bit overpowered.

I definently agree. Enough said here i think.

 Might have been wrong, but I'm pretty sure I got way over 1000. It was a totally ridiculous setup (4 800s, 4 siege, 4 painters, 4 BCUs, 3 Gyros, 5 Ogre IIs, maxed skills), but it had a huge DPS. Might have had a fitting mod and only 3 BCUs, can't quite remember.
I didnt used painters.

I am not a whiner unlike an overzealous Minmatarist. At least, I dont start so many Minmatar threads. 
You might not start them, but ive never seen anyone being so extreamly worried about having less medium slots than minmatards... 
Oh well, the Rohk looks to get 7 mediums so im sure you are happy.

Originally by: Sarmaul Also, the Mael will do just over 6600 alpha with Quake, against a BS sized target and with no time to hit.
If by some form of magical miricle all 6 wrecked (practically infinatly small chance btw), you're looking at 19800 alpha :P
Cool. How will it be with autocannons you think? Will it replace the Tempest?

If it gets f/a speed/high mass or an 8/6/5 slot layout, no. The issue is that with an ECM and NOS nerf, the AC pest will be practically redundant compared to the Phoon for close-range work and the Maelstrom for fleet ops.
Currently have a 8/6/6 layout on test server... with 115 speed.

Not sure then - depends on how ECM/NOS and up and how agile the Maelstrom is.
Anyway, I would love to forum ***** but WOW just finished updating (don't shoot me - PC World had it priced up wrong at only ú5 and I'm a sucker for a bargin).
Another one bites the dust....

Corrected that for you.
Only in the Vaga. Which I might not train for tbh. Seems very much like fun, but given the cost of losing it, I might not bother with it and go straight for 1337 typhoon skillz instead.
With time, the hacs will drop in price, and then we can all enjoy them.
