Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.08.02 17:04:00 - [1] Ok, after reading the latest tuxford blog, I think Maelstrom is basicly doomed to fail. Nuff said, really. Hyperion with a mass reduction bonus will enable it to be really fast, specially fitted with those new internal stabilizers that decrease mass even more. And with that kind of damage up close, well, lets just say Im not taking my minmatar skills to battleship level until we have a proper battleship. I have no idea why he doesnt say one word about the Rohk. Guess he feels its fine. Add your comments please, always nice to see what people think. --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate

I prefer getting the ship away from me. Its a pile of crap and it smells. --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate
Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.08.02 21:06:00 - [3] Its so simple really. Make the ship 8/5/7, drop the shield tanking bonus and give it armor resists instead. It would allow for damage mods, plates and EANM in the lows, sensor boosters and tracking computers in the meds. --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate
Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.08.02 22:12:00 - [4] Originally by: Auron Shadowbane give the poor mael 8/6/6 +5% damage of large proj. & +10% shield HP (also applying to extenders!) and everyone will be happy. Slapping shield extenders on this thing will probably give it the sig of jupiter... --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate
Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.08.02 22:37:00 - [5] Edited by: Jim McGregor on 02/08/2006 22:40:46 Originally by: Ath Amon 6 mids for the mael is not enought even if is going to be an arty platform the problem here is that you have still to assign mods both in mid (sensor boosters) and lows (dmg mods), so with a split config you can't really maximize your tank (as other new BSs seem to be able to do) we have also to consider that 1400mm are the turrets with worst tracking so traking comps (mids) are more suited for these ships... here a comparsion between various fleet ships at 100 and 200 transversal long range 100 long range 200 note that with 200 transversal the tempest and the mael do basically the same damage (so even alpha) with the tempest only using 6 guns the 2 ships will have a similar fitting but the pest using a 3 slot armor tank and 3 mids for comps the mael using a 4 slot shield tank. we have also to remember that plates gives more hps than shield boosters, so atm the difference probably is not a huge one and tempest will have better sign and speed. also the rokh performs very well here, as you can see every ship is using 6 slots for mods while the rokh with only 4 do same dps as a mael, outrange and outtank it with a 5 tank slots + inbuilt res. (only real con is the alpha) the abbandon simply looks scary with 4-5 lows to armor tank + res... but we have to see what it will be able to really fit back to the mael i think that atm is probably a bit too similar to a pest for fleet, they do basically the same damage with minor differences... if really mael is supposed to be an arty/shield tank platform then both its bonuses/slot allocation should reflect that... shield boost is quite useless (as even tux said) and imo a 5% dmg instead of rof is not out of place as the ship will be the one with worst tracking. Looks to me that specially the Abaddon will be really good for sniping. I dont think its cap will last long, but for gate sniping, i think it will be the best ship in the game. And even megathron looks better than the Maelstrom in this chart, with Rohk at the bottom when it comes to dps. But i guess alpha is more important than dps in fleets. Give the Maelstrom a DMG bonus ffs... it would give it a purpose. Ill bring it out to snipe gates. Its at least something. --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate

The sniping bonus was changed into a launcher ROF bonus quite a while ago... lol I must have been away during that patch.. excellent now gimme an AC boat :) AC Tempest. :) --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate
Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.08.03 13:40:00 - [7] Originally by: Wrayeth Except the AC tempest is gonna be useless once the hyperion hits the scene. Even now, blasterthrons generally kill AC tempests or get away from them thanks to Null, Void, and good piloting skills. Yep. But he asked for AC boat. And Hyperion pilots need people to kill... Sorry for making fun of game balance... --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate
