Sathrai Unlimited Blade Works	Posted - 2006.10.24 16:57:00 - [31] Originally by: James Lyrus Originally by: Extregar Qvint Edited by: Extregar Qvint on 24/10/2006 16:19:09 Yea, but then it has 6,5k shields of the bat. Compared to the Ferox what? 3,5k? And still resistance bonus... I envision the stats of this ship will be nerfed in the near future. They are too good to be true :) Edit: Oh, almost forgot: RIP Ferox, it was nice seeing you in space... 'spect you might be right. RoF + resists is good, perhaps too good. RoF + Range might be a better one. That said, I've yet to actually _fly_ one, so ... shrug. They could give it ibis stats and I'd fly one, because it looks cool. Ferox is still the rail BC. OK, so not all that many caldari do the 'railguns' thing, but with the Rohk there's a definite incentive to do so now I haven't crunched any numbers, but my initial inclinations were the same - "wow, this thing looks like it outclasses the Ferox on nearly every level". I can't help but think that things would be better if the resist bonus became a missile or explosion velocity bonus instead; that way it would keep to the gank-centric vibe that these tier 2 battlecruisers are nominally supposed to have.
JustBlaze	Posted - 2006.10.24 17:05:00 - [32] 7 heavy assault launchers ect
Extregar Qvint Caldari JuBa Corp	Posted - 2006.10.24 17:12:00 - [33] Ah.. that explains the nice shield amount. Didnt think Tux & Co had incorporated the HP boost already!
AKULA UrQuan Caldari STK Scientific Ascendant Frontier	Posted - 2006.10.24 17:23:00 - [34] It AFK kills angel BS rats (1.1M) just fine with an active tank setup. Originally by: Wrangler Win ME is more a some sort of virus than a OS..
MuffinsRevenger EmpiresMod	Posted - 2006.10.24 17:26:00 - [35] The drake is friggin awsome with heavy assult missiles, had one shooting my poor abadon on the test server ^_^ he reported a ROF of about 3sec, and i belive him Nasty! really really nasty! :D
Jagaroth No Quarter. Axiom Empire	Posted - 2006.10.24 17:38:00 - [36] Originally by: Tuxford Originally by: North Region Drake vs Nighthawk in DPS, please tell me NH is still better... Nighthawk does more damage with rof bonus and damage bonus. Any chance the corresponding command ships could be given the T1 counterpart's model (with different texture ofc!)??? ------
Kyozoku Loot	Posted - 2006.10.24 17:38:00 - [37] I'm guessing the resist bonus is a place holder. Otherwise what's the point of the ferox?
Lojik FATAL REVELATIONS Lotka Volterra	Posted - 2006.10.24 19:50:00 - [38] Edited by: Lojik on 24/10/2006 19:49:52 Originally by: Jagaroth Originally by: Tuxford Originally by: North Region Drake vs Nighthawk in DPS, please tell me NH is still better... Nighthawk does more damage with rof bonus and damage bonus. Any chance the corresponding command ships could be given the T1 counterpart's model (with different texture ofc!)??? OOOO yes plz i want an EOS in the Myrmidon form and Dark Green as well.
Beringe Raptus Regaliter	Posted - 2006.10.24 20:19:00 - [39] It's...too good. I'd say at least drop the resist bonus for something a bit more crappy. Perhaps even lose a launcher slot. ------------------------------------------- "Never underestimate the power of language." --Daitan Beringe, honorary director in charge of bottles--
Majin82 Caldari g guild	Posted - 2006.10.24 20:35:00 - [40] Ahh Thank you, The Caldari get a BC worth taking into PVP vs a Brutix finally. I just hope the adjust the Turret hard points on the Ferox, making it the railboat it always should have been. Drake, I canÆt wait to fly you, I am going to take you into level 3Æs and we are going to go Pie hunting in Thelan and we are going to go rattin up in 0.0. I canÆt wait! ------------------------------------- Proud member of G Guild!
Dwight Hammerhead Caldari KIA Corp	Posted - 2006.10.24 20:35:00 - [41] Totalally supporting the idea of swapping the models of 1 of the command ships for the corresponding new BC model, Nighthawk having the Drake model, Vulture ramaining as it is, follows the ship general bonuses as well. Pls pls:) _____________________________________________ Too bad at photoshop and too poor to buy a sig
Kagero Machiko	Posted - 2006.10.24 20:44:00 - [42] so then how long after the drake comes in will we hear that its overpowered? lol i cant wait for this beast. i've wanted a proper BC missile boat since BC class was introduced and this is the bestest thing i've ever seen. it looks awesome, it kills things well and it'll defend pretty well. BC lv5 with 7 dread heavy missile launchers plus passiv etank its gonan be great

Kilwen	Posted - 2006.10.24 20:50:00 - [44] Originally by: Tuxford Originally by: North Region Drake vs Nighthawk in DPS, please tell me NH is still better... Nighthawk does more damage with rof bonus and damage bonus. yea but NH takes WAY more skills, is T2, and only outdammages Drake with KEs, Drake can use any missles and costs a TON less. (bonus is NH can tank better. Cerbie and NH do low dammage already compared to their counterparts in other races, why not bost them alittle? Atleast make the Nighthawk a T2 version of the Drake, not the ferox.
Paigan Amarr Katsu Corporation	Posted - 2006.10.24 21:08:00 - [45] Originally by: Kyozoku I'm guessing the resist bonus is a place holder. Otherwise what's the point of the ferox? Thought the same thing at first. What about the ferox if the drake is everywhere better or equal. But on the other hand: - the ferox is cheaper - the ferox can use a gang module (-> support ship, not combat ship) So it may still be balanced that it is no match for the drake. -- This game is still in beta stage
FireFoxx80 Caldari E X O D U S Imperial Republic Of the North	Posted - 2006.10.24 21:23:00 - [46] Originally by: Paigan Originally by: Kyozoku I'm guessing the resist bonus is a place holder. Otherwise what's the point of the ferox? Thought the same thing at first. What about the ferox if the drake is everywhere better or equal. But on the other hand: - the ferox is cheaper - the ferox can use a gang module (-> support ship, not combat ship) So it may still be balanced that it is no match for the drake. Ferox can easily prod other ships at 100km+ with correct rails setup. Drake will hit what? 60km for heavies, less for heavy assault. What I do the rest of the time - Vote for a Jita bypass!
Paigan Amarr Katsu Corporation	Posted - 2006.10.24 21:36:00 - [47] But ferox is pointless compared to even t1 sniper megathron / rokh. Even worse, it loses almost all its tank if fitting rails. So rails was never really an (practical) option for it, even though the bonus. -- This game is still in beta stage
Audri Fisher Caldari The Keep THE R0CK	Posted - 2006.10.24 21:48:00 - [48] The only use for a ferox I can possible see is a sniper platform using a damge cotrol mod as a tank. The drake outclasses it on every other level. Even with my paltry 1 mil sp in missles, and 4 mil in hybrid weapons..... half the missle skills are in light missles also.
2SecondsTilMidnight	Posted - 2006.10.24 21:50:00 - [49] The ferox had too little turret slots to be of any use rail-wise(it was a sub-par missle boat imo). It didn't make sense to have 5 launchers + 5 turrets on a railship.
Kapitanleutnant Mei	Posted - 2006.10.24 22:12:00 - [50] hmm from initial testing on kali i'd say heavy assault launchers definatley need a boost to their capacity- with a 4sec rof you burn through 25 missiles in no time at all and your dps is a bit gimped by this
MrRookie Caldari Dark and Light inc. D-L	Posted - 2006.10.24 22:17:00 - [51] Drake with asault missiles and some BCUs It certainly is a mini Raven guy being attacked by a pirat in a complex Originally by:* Noluck Ned Notify Concord is on their way to help you, just hang in there, they are waiting for the gatekeeper to respawn
James Lyrus Lyrus Associates Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2006.10.24 22:21:00 - [52] Edited by: James Lyrus on 24/10/2006 22:21:35 Originally by: Paigan Originally by: Kyozoku I'm guessing the resist bonus is a place holder.

But on the other hand: - the ferox is cheaper - the ferox can use a gang module (-> support ship, not combat ship) So it may still be balanced that it is no match for the drake. You forgot - Ferox remains a gunship, where drake is a missile boat. That's not going to be everyone's cup of tea I know, but it's a valid reason to choose the former over the latter, especially if you're going the 'hybrid specialist' route up to Rohk. I started off thinking it might be too sick, but then I remembered how much the Brutix hurts when it's ganking.
Changaroo State War Academy	Posted - 2006.10.24 22:24:00 - [53] Heavy Assault Launchers maybe on this thing will be like making love to Oveur with lots of lube? Easy?
Britannica	Posted - 2006.10.24 22:42:00 - [54] this could be a nice cheap effective close range PvP missile ship, the 5% resists may let it get close enough to use scramblers or even webbers and still stand a good chance of winning I'll be testing this with corp mates as soon as I can get one
Humera Caldari	Posted - 2006.10.24 22:52:00 - [55] I am getting one for lvl 4 missions. Will probably buy the T1 BPO and build me a few once they hit TQ. Gisti kit the Duck (sorry I mean the Drake). Close range and nasty with HAL's. Regards, Humera ---------------------------------------------------- "Ruck, Tackle and Maul. And thats just getting a Beer"
XGS Crimson	Posted - 2006.10.24 23:04:00 - [56] this ship is going to out dps the raven. 2-3 second rof on missiles each hitting for about 100 damage x 7 launchers, good bye gallente stuff in close combat. passive tank this bugger and it will be imune to nos/high dps (cus it has 5% resistances) and dish out a nasty payload. can anyone please tell us the drawback to this ship + assault launchers?
keepiru Supernova Security Systems	Posted - 2006.10.24 23:09:00 - [57] its slow, as agile as a beached whale and has a huge sig? ---------------- Please fix BC Sig/Agility!

Fitting it all together. Somewhere there has to be a catch.
Humera Caldari	Posted - 2006.10.24 23:13:00 - [59] Edited by: Humera on 24/10/2006 23:14:41 Me really wants a T2 variant on the drawing board soon!!! Regards, Humera P.S. I agree with Grimpak it is pure sex....need sex now. Scampers off to bed to bother the old lady. ---------------------------------------------------- "Ruck, Tackle and Maul. And thats just getting a Beer"
Flipidy Floo	Posted - 2006.10.24 23:52:00 - [60] Maybe, just maybe the T2 Caldari ships will become halfway sensible, and HACs in general will lose some of their rediculous market prices.
