I'm fed up with the ne whyperion trying to be a blaster boat and the mega trying to be a sniper boat, they both fit the onther ones roles much better. I'll explain.
Megathron
7x Turrut Slots
4x Mid Slots
7x Low Slots
Megathron is supposed ot be a fleet ship, the bonuses suite the megathron, damage and tracking, fair enough. However I'D Like the megathron to have and extra mid and loose a slow slot if I was to have a "fleet" combat ship. Why? The low slt is irrelevent in fleet combat. The only thing you need in fleets is tracking, damage and a mix of ECM or whatever, plus speed boost and sensor boosters.
About the turrut slots, a blasterboat normally has a nos on, depends on what type of setup the person is trying to achive, the only reason for an extra gun on a blasterboar is damage over survivability. However the mega suites a blasterboat alot more because of it's low slots, they are NEEDED on a blasterboat.
Hyperion
8x Turrut Slots
5x Mid Slots
6x Low Slots
There is no real reason why you should pick the megathron over the hyperion when it comes ot fleet combat. The extra turrut gives a 12.5% dps increase. The tracking bonues is not that important as the fith midslot can handle a tracking computer or 2. In fleet combat the only important factor is getting asmuch damage to the other fleet as possible. With the mid slots ECM is nice, damps etc. FULL rack of 425mm Railgun II. The tracking bonues on the megathron wins with 7.5% over 1 tracking computer II that could be fitted in the hyperions extra midslot, which isn't much in a fleet fight as your shooting battleships. You also have an icreased cpu to paly with ECM modules.
The tanking bonues on the hyperion kind of forces it to tank meaning (imo) at least 2 reps, leaving a crappy 4 slots for damage control/plates/hardners etc. If this bonues was changed to something else t osomething that I would prefer resistence bonuses it would not force everyone to tank as the game on the test server is, "let's see who can fit the most nos and see who has the biggest tank game". I'm not trying to bring gank setups into the picture again however 1v1's that go on for at least 10 min, wtf?
The hyperions mid slot in a blaster type boat would be fitted with ECM, is this what ccp wants. Even though this patch will nerf ECM it still works as I've found out.
Grrr don't have a sig. |
