Fozzie, just tender your resignation now. You and Rise.
It's an Interceptor. The point/scram is the weapon system it was designed for. |

Fozzie, just tender your resignation now. You and Rise. It's an Interceptor. The point/scram is the weapon system it was designed for. Except that's not completely true. Any of the other fleet interceptors can also go and fight from the safety of that range while maintaining point. The Malediction is having what power it had in it's light missile systems become useless. Stiletto, Ares, and Crow all have weapons bonuses that apply to the long-range variants of the primary weapons systems they use. The Malediction will go back to it's pre-buff days of being nothing more than an Interceptor no one will want to fly. It has a bonus that applies to a tank no one uses, and it's going to be pushed into rockets as the weapon of choice to apply any type of bonus.
Not really. After this change, the Crow will be the only one. You could stick arty/rails/beams on the turret based ones, but the fit would be pretty gimped to make that work in a way that can get decent dps and actually apply it.

Yes, Goonswarm farmers were crying out load to their friends in CSM and CCP staff because they cant AFK farm in their Ishtars anymore. And they listened. Now when a Malediction has a Goon farming Ishtar tackled they will have time to form a fleet to kill the malediction because it wil take the malediction now 10 minutes to kill it instead of 5 minutes. GG
Nah, we still run Ishtars all day every day (they are also broken)

Why do you make a group of people that like a ship that is good sad by making it not as good? you are making happy people sad. why not make sad people happy? If a ship is not as good as another make it better. then the happy people stay happy and the sad people get happy. no one is sad then.
Just a Sub
If they didn't nerf the crap out of the ships people like to fly, there would be a lot less bitter vets.
You can sit in station and spin your old Malediction, and I'll spin my old Hurricane, and we can complain about kids these days. |

Because they aren't actually flying them in a fleet with other dedicated DPS ships. They want bubble immunity, tackle bonus, and DPS all in a package that is cheaper and easier to train into than a Tech3. |

No it isn't.
I've lived in null for years, and before bubble immune interceptors, people just used stealth bombers, Tech3s, Blops and all sort of other stuff. Laserzpewpew killed tons of ratters with a probe/tackle stealth bomber and the old Gila. |

The Crow gets the ranged DPS but is losing the ability to be fitted for <2 second align, meaning it would be at least possible to catch it on a gate.
The issue with the Malediction was that it had the lows to fit for speed, with a range bonus to tackle, and a decent ranged weapon. The only thing the Malediction is really losing is the ability to do appreciable damage out past 20km. And given that it is a ship that can be fit for speed and bonused for tackle, no one should really care if it does any damage at all. It is still an very fast tackle frigate. |
