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.

When the stats for the Maelstrom were announced, I thought "OMG what a pile of crap". After some thought I've realised that Minmatar is indeed hard mode - a fact that Hammer admitted himself. So if you pick hard mode, expect it to be erm.... hard.

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.

- Switch emp and fusion around, make fusion our biggest damage dealer, give it 12 damage like all the rest of the small lowest range highest damage T1 ammo. Minmatar primary damage types are explosive and kinetic yet the highest damage T1 ammo is mostly em and explosive - Give all projectile ammo more explosive damage, p...p... please . Allways bugged me that minmatar doesn't have heavy focus on explosive(our primary damage type). - Change EMP so it only has 2 damage types(3 damage types makes me cry), explosive and em. - Nerf autocannons by changing falloff so it ramps up to highest tier(falloff of 800mm > falloff of dual650 > falloff of dual 425mm) as well as changing grid(particularly for frig ac's) in preparation of a boost to autocannons. I think they need to do this before they can be really compared and subsequently balanced with the other gun types.
Before you start flaming, I'm a minnie specialized pilot (minmatar bs 5, T2 projectiles, the works). Ok now you're fully informed, you can flame . - "I wish CONCORD would scream "No-one expects the Spanish Inquisition" when they turn up to blob you. " -_ Twilight Moon |

Take the speed penalty off hail.
Boost 800mm Auto II DPS so that they do more dmg than a wet sock.
Lower the pg fitting reqs of 720mm II's a tiny bit.
Basically boost minmatar!

QTF, we rule.
Random things about Minmatar:
o Having a fast cap recharge rate doesn't really mean much outside of PVE o Our interceptors are actually quite sluggish compared to some others o Just because we go fast doesn't mean we can actually hit anything at those speeds o If you give us a ROF bonus instead of a damage bonus, don't expect us to be fitting artillery o Amarr have a higher alpha strike with artillery than some minmatar ships in the same class o There are loads of ships that are overpowered with faction gear, so stop *****ing about the Domination/Snake Vagabond o Quite a few of us would actually like some dedicated missile platforms (not split weapon ships), seeing as they are supposed to be our secondary weapon system o If/when NOS and ECM gets nerfed, expect to see gazillions of boost the Tempest threads o Artillery still take up too much powergrid o We wouldn't mind some T2 em/thermal ammo if possible o If Amarr get explosive crystals, we get to bypass shield and armour and damage the hull directly o <3 Rupture o None of us are quite sure where the extra 5m3 drone bay on the Rupture vanished to when CCP made the Muninn. o We're not quite sure why CCP only added the speed penalty to hail instead of all high-damage close-range ammos, but we wouldn't mind it being removed o Tremor is hax, but we love it.

So true, especially with the tier 3 uber mega... after ecm/nos nerf a mega vs pest would be really one sided nevermind the new ship. -------------------------

Yes.
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).

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%) - "I wish CONCORD would scream "No-one expects the Spanish Inquisition" when they turn up to blob you. " -_ Twilight Moon |

Im basicly saying yes by default to any penalty except speed. Your suggestion sounds like a good one too.

That's not the only thing though, amarr had their championship, caldari their race thing, gallente well their elections (work in progress ). Minmatar nothing that could be compared to these yet. Oh and I almost forget the 2 alliance championships (2 )...

Not only for the roleplayers. Core Complexion, one of the Minmatar research corps is part of the Thukker Tribe. Loads of Thukker Tribe stations and agents are in Repulic space, another huge chunk is in Ammatar space. Running missions for Thukker Tribe agents makes you lose access to many of their agents. Imagine a little note from your R&D agent telling you he had a breakthrough.
Offers for Thukker modified equipment can't be finished because the NPC -and thus their tags- are unavailable for like 1,5 years. --*=*=*--

I might add that there is no projectile gunship without this RoF bonus and to compare without it would be moronic at best.
Originally by: Dixon -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Rokh will use railguns. Railguns use lots of CAP. The Rokh has no damage bonus. Rails have crappy damage. The Rokh will use a sheild tank. Sheild tanks use lots of CAP.
The Maelstrom uses Projectiles. Projectiles use no CAP. Projectiles with RoF bonus do more damage (with more versitile damage types also) than railguns. The Maelstrom will have a huge alpha and 100% cap to it's certain-to-be-great tank.
The Maelstrom will be great at artys.. don't know about autocannons. But it will have a strong tank. The Rokh will probably outrange it but it will never outdamage it... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Originally by: Jim McAsshat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Naah, you started this argument that railguns have crappy damage, so you run some comparisons if you want to convince me --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even the Tempest looks better than the Raven.
And I don't feel like training outerworldly ship skills unless it is for those Jovian beauties. (Or the Bhaalgorn, or the Machariel).
I like the look of the coming battlecruiser too. It should fit into my Typhoon's nozzle perfectly for splitting up enemy stations and forrmations. --*=*=*--

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.
Typhoon
... needs a boatload of skills to be used properly for missions. It is definately not a ship for young pilots. --*=*=*--

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...
Finished yesterday.
Also, Typhoon for the Hype too.

The graph shows DOT, a bit different from DPS. The fight on the graph is endless and thus calculated with reloading times. The Maelstrom would be much better in the short run so the graph actually favors the rokh...
but what were you saying about some quote?

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.

It would give it an absolutely insane (well, more insane than usual) alpha strike and lower it's overall DPS, so no.
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.

 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.

This was during the testing for introducing sig factored damage. They had just introduced it, and at the time, missiles did MORE damage if the sig was bigger. A volley of torps hit the mega, just as it put it's MWD on and demonstrated that that system of missile damage was totally broken  Changed the next day

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.

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 raven speed, but buttloads more mass

I think it sucks that we 'can't' shield tank because EW is overpowered, not to mention some Caldari are under the mistaken impression that they should always have the most midslots.

When the stats for the Maelstrom were announced, I thought "OMG what a pile of crap". After some thought I've realised that Minmatar is indeed hard mode - a fact that Hammer admitted himself. So if you pick hard mode, expect it to be erm.... hard.
Matari 4TW.
Just to be clear: I picked Minmatar, not hard mode. I like the race / their style etc.
If I just wanted it hard, I'd fly another race and keep one med and low slot empty or so. So please don't tell the devs that I expect crappy stats, because Minmatars want it this way.

are you sure is right? i got veeeeeery different results
from my "test" most ships are between 200 and 250 dps and abaddon is over 350 dps (no damage mods)
ahhhh wait i think i got it, you are modifing dmg with res... but can we really do that? it really depends what you are facing and also all the dmg here is done vs armor while for example rokh will be a (popular) shield tank

I picked minmatar because I liked the font on the race select screen lol (the old one, not the 4 column thing used now).
Little did I know a few years later I'd be flying all their tech 2 ships and equipment, but for all our drawbacks t'is fun ^^

minmatar ceptors always confused me, nerfed from beginning to make all the other ceptors equal with their high mass.
the extra speed we get for less hp's & less capacitor, not overely useful in most scenarios (bar the obvious ones)
the extra speed countered by poor tracking howitzers
the muninn so poor in comparison to the vaga which works perfectly in its intended role (and still will be fine after wcs nerf).
single projectile bonus ships.

QTF, we rule.
Random things about Minmatar:
o Having a fast cap recharge rate doesn't really mean much outside of PVE o Our interceptors are actually quite sluggish compared to some others o Just because we go fast doesn't mean we can actually hit anything at those speeds o If you give us a ROF bonus instead of a damage bonus, don't expect us to be fitting artillery o Amarr have a higher alpha strike with artillery than some minmatar ships in the same class o There are loads of ships that are overpowered with faction gear, so stop *****ing about the Domination/Snake Vagabond o Quite a few of us would actually like some dedicated missile platforms (not split weapon ships), seeing as they are supposed to be our secondary weapon system o If/when NOS and ECM gets nerfed, expect to see gazillions of boost the Tempest threads o Artillery still take up too much powergrid o We wouldn't mind some T2 em/thermal ammo if possible o If Amarr get explosive crystals, we get to bypass shield and armour and damage the hull directly o <3 Rupture o None of us are quite sure where the extra 5m3 drone bay on the Rupture vanished to when CCP made the Muninn. o We're not quite sure why CCP only added the speed penalty to hail instead of all high-damage close-range ammos, but we wouldn't mind it being removed o Tremor is hax, but we love it.

Put it this way - in a fleet fight the vast majority of ships being used will be armour tanking besides the new Maelstrom and Rokh (Ravens and Scorps had better be running ECM in those mids)
Although artillery do poor DPS vs a hardened target, in fleets plates rule as they can double your survivability meaning weapons that do bucket loads of explosive can really shine.

yup i see your point but this is the situation atm where the majority of flees seem composed by tempests (armor tank) and mega (another armor tank) then we have some amarr ships (again armor) and ecm ships (who armor tank due to ecm role)
but i think the situation will change when these ships will be introduced. i think the Rokh will replace the mega on the battlefield, is a very good fleet ship for all caldari and raven pilots (99.99999% of eve population) and i think that even dedicated mega pilots with many SP in hybrid weapons will train caldari BS at least to 4 to use it.
then we have the mael who is supposed to be a shield tank, i don't think there will be active tanks in a battlefield but probably in the end it will still be more profitable to passive shield tank it instead of put plates on it.
i don't think it will totally replace the tempest but probably there will be a decent amount of both.
then we have the abaddon, i think it will become a good fleet ship, expecially as there will be more shield tanked ships in battle, also with its 8 lows and inbuilt res it will be quite probable that it will fit an explo hardener in the low.
then we have even an incoming ecm nerf and we don't know how it will affect ecm ships in fleet battle
as said just my speculation but i suspect that the new fleets will be something like laaaaarge amount of rokhs (vary sturdy shield tank), ok amount of maels (probably shield tank), ok amount of tempests (armor tank), ok (or maybe even more) amount of abaddons (sturdy armor tank with probable explo hardener) a few ecm ships (armor tank)
in this scenario shield tanked ships will probably be at least equal if not more than armor tanked ships, if for this reason that i will be cautious to compare damage alredy modified by res.
