considering BC level 5:

 Ferox and Drake, they both get a shield res bonus (I thought the tier 2's were more 'damage dealers'?)
IÆd honestly prefer this, you need a good balance between DPS and staying power.

The Drake also gets another mid and high over the Ferox, making it a better tank anyway.
That is very true and it seems to me like it is with the intent of it actually having more of an EWAR capability.

Drake also gets 7 launchers and a ROF bonus, compared to 5 rails and a optimal bonus on the Ferox. Maybe change the Ferox to have less missiles and 7 guns? the Vulture would also need this change.
I donÆt really think that this would be a good idea imho. The problem here then becomes that all these people could potentially have trouble because of the following reasons:
a) donÆt want to fly a drake and already fly a ferox with missiles
b) prefer missiles and are already trained for command modules
c) those who primarily use the ferox and canÆt afford the drake as soon as they release it and they change the feroxÆs fitting capabilites

I also thing the Drake just does too much damage compared to the Nighthawk. If the Nighthawk uses anything but kinetic missiles, the drake will out damage it. There needs to be a much bigger gap between T1 and T2 if you look at the amount of skills and ISK required for a command ship.
The damage difference seems fine to me, but you have to remember the purpose of those ships (Nighthawk, Vulture, and even the Ferox) is to run the Command Links. Theese three ships all have specialized purposes that makes them important. You canÆt just expect every ship to be equal, some will serve a specific purpose.
I donÆt know enough and havenÆt looked at the others enough to be able to make any kind of educated or intelligent assessment of them other than to remind everyone that the command ships are meant to serve a specific purpose regardless of damage output.
ALL I KNOW FOR SURE, I WANT THIS SHIP NOW! |
