A few weeks ago I saw a PVE Gila in a WH site get attacked by 2 confessors and anathema, they all died before being able to warp off after trying to tackle it.
RLM Gilas are SERIOUSLY SCARY

LOL, They were probably failed fitted. But seriously the Gilas aren't cheap (290 mill isk), if they did nerf the drone bay like you want then their prices are gonna plummet and the ship would see very few uses due to lower survivability. As for tank for the Gila, the drones are it's tank because THEY WILL get primaried and even more so if they're only allowed 3 flights. Anyways if a ship can't tank 620 dps then they have no reason to take on a Gila.

No support from me. Using Gila for high-sec lvl4s i would not like to move drones for every mission i meet or having not spare drones just in case... I lose small drones once in a while but i do it. So i always have like 6-7 of hoblins and warriors. And recently i messed up and almost lost one of my hammerheads in the middle of a mission. Needed to warp out and repair it in station. Else Gila would have no DPS output at all.
For PvP i can agree that Gila's drone bay looks OP. But for PVE it is not.

Not supported. Are you aware of what you type before you hit post? I feel most times you are not. Supported OP.
I am very aware of what I write and how I write it, you may have noticed that. It is no secret that ZEE ZOOPER tactic for zee drone ships is to shoot zee drones and who came up with that first should biomass and apologize.
So let's make a deal and the day I can shoot your guns of your ship I stop complaining about people shooting drones.
Moving on, the only thing I read in this thread is 'pirate boat stronger than mine, BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH..'
Yes, pirate factions ships are stronger than yours and guess what, they are supposed to. Every single one of them.

For one, the ship is bonused in Medium drones.
Secondly, those Medium drones on this ship have... TEN TIMES THE NUMBER OF HITPOINTS, than on competing drone boats.

The Gila really doesn't have the grid or cpu to properly fit missile launchers with tank so that dps can't be applied in most cases and even if they do the missiles have short ranges due to not having missile velocity bonus.

The forums have made it "Whiners Online". There's always gonna be a ship that people are gonna whine and whine about in the forums because they have gotten to lazy to strategize. There's only one ship that the complaints were justified and that's the Ishtar with having that massive drone bay with sentries. There's another ship called the Othrus that really is OP, but you don't hear too many complaints about it........why? Answer, because it's not a drone boat.

1) I'm not whining about the Gila, I'm confused why it has such a large drone bay and wondering what people would think about a slight reduction to its drone bay. And if people think that the reduction of the drone bay wouldn't affect the Gila at all, then what would be the problem of the drone bay reduction?
2) Sure, the Orthrus is also OP, and arguably even more OP than the Gila, but I haven't thought up of a way that seems reasonable to reduce it's power. If you have any ideas, feel free to post them on the forum. |

I dislike whining. I'd rather come up with an anti-strategy against a ship that causes controversy. Either that or I follow the "if you can't beat em, join em" rule.

Sorry you are having problems fighting this ship, but trying alternative tactics may help.
Different ships with different flavours is a great design, nerfing them all down to a flavourless gruel is not.
Or do you believe that missile ships should only be able to carry three reloads too?
After all do you think that ships spewing neverending streams of missiles are overpowered for PVP?
No?
Try fighting the ship and not the weapon, sorry if you have to think differently from fighting other drone boats.
Besides, with an appropriate weapon system, Gila drones are just more gristly meat to the grinder.
funny thing is there's little to no tactics or counter tactics to both the weapon systems you've mentioned, and the gila uses both of them.
anyway, when a gila lands and grid it'll go one of two ways, either you can trade damage with it favorably at which point the gila is either dead or will disengage, or you can't then you need to disengage or enjoy a losemail. The Gila is one of those ships with a massive and generally capless tank, along with capless DPS that gives no fucks about range.
I'm yet to be killed by a Gila, they're not particularly fast. they're just really boring and trade unmitigatable damage favorably with most hulls in their class. hell most BCs for that matter.

To the uninitiated, you can only field 4 light unbonused drones at a time, so there's a big hole in the gilas defence, unbonused sentries are a waste of time and space and the ship being slow doesn't help matters. Compared to other drone boats the drone bay is tiny and for the missiles they don't even do a lot of damage.
Smart bombs destroy both drones and missiles, so saying that you can't defend against them is a bit off, it's like saying my brawler got shot down by a kiter and something needs to change because I fly brawlers.
While you can run level 4's with them they do have trouble with some missions due to lack of ability to deal with frigates, most are a cakewalk.
So if you want every ship that you have trouble dealing with due to bringing the wrong tools for the job, this will be a very lackluster and boring game with little or no choice.

You obviously didn't get that punch line. If you fear a certain type of ship and have no knowledge on how to counter it, then train for that ship yourself. You'll learn about a ship's weakness and strength much faster when you actually fly the ship. Either that or train for the Ishtar. |

I'll say the Gila is fine as is. My basis? If 5 Gilas land on grid I say get them boys and a fight ensues. Win, lose or withdraw - there is a fight.
If 5 ishtards land on grid I call to bail, because screw them.
I could care less about mission performanc so other folks can weigh in on that.

http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Ishtar http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Gila
Medium drones are 10 m3.
Gila can field 2 / 100 * 500 + 2 = 12 Effective medium drones. Ishtar 5 / 100 * 50 + 5 = 7.5 Effective medium drones.
Ishtar can carry 56.52 Effective medium drones, Gila can carry 60 Effective medium drones - the ratio of fielded drones is 1.6, so Gila with a dronebay of +-62.5-70 m3 would be proper, which would equal to 36-42 Effective medium drones.
Ishtard is balanced, if you can call it that way, in that most of its damage comes from Heavies/Sentries. A dronebay of 375 m3 is still huge.
A Rattlesnake carries 42 drones and the Worm 30.
Grave inconsistency.

The Gila is slow as hell, it needs those drones to survive when long pointed by anything. I guarantee that a reduced drone bay Gila drones will always be primaried immediately while (once dead) they can take their time killing the actual ship without fear of it escaping.

So you completely overlook every point I make about the gila but the mistake about the sentries, you are a winner.
You got negative feedback on reddit because your idea and small amount of reasoning is well below average, go get some tactics.

I have problems recycling drones in a tristan but only when im trying to kite a brawler because he webs my drones and approaches them so they can't escape, but kiters rely on speed to avoid dps and don't have a web fitted so usually don't bother shooting at drones. I haven't flown a Gila but I imagine a kiter won't be interested in shooting your drones either, if he does you have time to recall them and send a fresh one out because he can't pin them down and they have a lot of hit points. If he can't outrun the drones he'll probably bail, and if he can outrun your drones he'll probably focus on your hull and let the drones chase him.
I can't really think of a situation where someone would try to chew through all that drone HP unless you were the one kiting him. |

Oh please, After what they did to the T3D's I really couldn't care less what CCP decides to nerf these days let alone the Gila. And for your info I don't use missiles simply because they don't look as cool as lasers. I just like the convenience that the Gila provides since all my characters can fly it. And please don't get this guy above me started. If it was up to him every ship in eve would continually get nerfed on a regular basis. |

Melody Axon wrote:Yes, I posted this on reddit. Yes I expect to receive negative feedback, but I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe, on the EVE-forums I might actually get some actual reasons why this is a bad idea. And if this has already been proposed, I am sorry. So, with this introduction out of the way, onto the show.
There are always people going on about how certain ships are OP and the Gila is one of the ones that is always brought up. I've been playing around with some EFT fits for different ships, and when coming to the Gila I noticed something that I feel could be changed for a subtle, but possibly effective, nerf on the Gila. The drone bay.
The Worm gets 2.5 flights of bonused drones (25 m3/10 m3)
The Rattlesnake gets 3.5 flights of bonused drones (175 m3/50 m3)
The Gila, this apparently OP cruiser, gets FIVE flights of bonused drones (100 m3/20 m3).
So, denizens of the EVE forums. Do you think a small nerf in a reduction of the drone bay of the Gila to 60 m3 (giving 3 flights of bonused drones, to bring it in line between the Worm (frigate) and Rattlesnake (BS) would bring the Gila down a little bit in its dominance?
I personally feel it would be a good change, as it would still allow for a variety of drones to be carried along, while also increasing the viability of actually shooting down the Gila's drones to reduce the incoming damage.
So, thoughts? i didnt even notice its drone bay was out of line. +1 implement this immediately.

Nothing wrong with a 80k EHP, 850 DPS omni damage cap-independent cruiser hull then?
