Then we could certainly say it's not more powerful than T2's and is right where it should be. Combat probing has long been overly restricted and effectively forced alts to be used for it by the gimped fits it creates on non T3's. I really enjoyed using the probes on the test server. I would actually like to see the bonus Applied to more ships or the requirements of the probe launcher reduced. |

Role Bonus: 95% reduction in Scan Probe Launcher CPU requirements
Please fix this so it reads "95% reduction in combat probe launcher CPU requirements", since that's what we're guessing you mean. Except there is no "combat probe launcher". Only core and expanded both under the probe launcher category. |

So I could jump through a gate (in low or high) using this mode, click align to, switch to defensive, press "S" and instawarp? (same as getting webbed?) you would already need to have inertia mods installed and the change would take at least a server tick after decloaking as I'm aware, so unless you were already prepared for it it wouldn't work so well. I have to get back on sisi and check but I don't think the align time is that fast anyway. |

when It comes to fighting frigs solo this ship sucks
the only application that's worth anything is the bonuses to fitting expanded core probe launchers with a combat fit (which is terrible btw)
if you invest 40 mill into the confessor you will end up being killed by 10 to 20 mil ships all day long its not worth it (at all).
i'd recommend adding an additional tracking bonuses of 10% and giving it 20% reduction in sig as a role bonus
these are needed so it can atleast give a t2 frig some trouble in a 1v1 because currently I see no reason why I should pay 40mill for something that's going to get murdered horribly by everything except a noob ship I would counter that with my experience of killing anything that didn't warp off. Armor ships are much harder to kill but it can be done. |

No, it'd take a lot less time because of the huge increase to max velocity. You take a fraction of your align time to reach 33% of your max velocity, but that's 100% of your max velocity when you switch from Propulsion to anything else. Combine that with the inertia bonus vastly improving your acceleration/align time already and what was a 7s align time (in another mode) is now a 1s timer to reach 33% speed, then 1s more for the server to change your mode. Numbers are approximate. I haven't gotten to play with it yet. I don't know what the align time is like with skills. align speed is independent of max velocity |

Armor ships are much harder to kill but it can be done. You see in the hours of testing I've performed with the ship it was actual testing of the ship against your standard fitted t2 interceptor and assault frigs it wasn't shooting at random people and whoring on the kill mail right before they die to a titan. The test I did were performed with many different brawling and snipping fits all of them had a 1/10 win ratio against your standard t2 frig. Why should I pay 40 mill on a crappy ship when I can buy a cheaper and more effective one for 20? The ship its self with the bounses it currently has makes it an utter waste of time and effort Please note that these ships died even after they were fitted to directly counter the other ships seeing as my kills were not the whoring you believe they were I still disagree. This ship is very effective. Granted, I have not had any successful brawls in it, but I did manage to take down a T1 cruiser or two as well.

This ship is very effective. Granted, I have not had any successful brawls in it, but I did manage to take down a T1 cruiser or two as well. the majority of my test where conducted against frigs only, Ill test out a few sniping against a few t1 cruisers. Destroyers have always been advertised as an anti frig platform , a hard counter to interceptors and assault frigs. Maybe its just a good anti t1 cruiser platform? still though 40 mill is more expensive then a lot of t1 cruisers. I'm extremely skeptical but ill give it a try. EDIT: Rowells do you believe it needs a tracking bonuses? or some kind of buff?> if it did get a tracking bonus I would imagine it would need to make sacrifices elsewhere, or it would be put in a separate mode from the sniping one. I only think it becomes an issue when you are trying to hit ships going extremely fast (5k/s+) and getting well within weapons range. That was one of the issues I ran into with pulses. Simply not applying the same damage as aurora, while also taking damage.
I think the biggest issue it suffers is being a destroyer. The same reasons that most destroyers die so easily also plague this ship, albeit less so since it can switch modes. And because it's modes are very clear cut and its damage predictable, hard counters will not be difficult to find. That being said, this ship also has great strengths which make it excellent as a kiter and sniper.
Maybe I'm a little biased by the probe bonus (it's awesome imo) but I do believe it's versatility is still pretty limited to supporting its strongest position as a sniper.

Xenos Monith Maulerant wrote:Why the scan probe launcher bonus? That doesn't make any sense on that ship. It has no kind of scanning bonuses so why would someone try to fit a combat probe launcher on that? Like people are really going to use that ship for using combat probes. Even if you had really good scanning skills, the chance of scanning a ship down are going to considerably longer than any other scanning ship.
Are the going to be more modes (like a scanning mode, covert mode) added in the future?
If so, it would completely make sense then. It's actually very effective for getting a good warp in on anything that's not an interceptor. Unbonused probes can still find most targets pretty well |

Thanks. they have, im not sure of the rarity or anything, but theyve already built a couple confessors and ive seen the parts for sale at like 200-300 mil
gonna have to wait till the market settles down
