1. There are very few hulls that cater to the strength of lasers. (read: kiting) Omen Navy Issue and Navy Slicer are retardedly good, because they can kite.
2. Just like every other weapon system in Eve except for light missiles, they're completely and totally obsoleted by sentry drones.
They are only retardedly good when linked, and loaded with scorch.
Which is at least half of what this thread is about. |

It has been established, many many times, that large lasers are actually good.
Small and Medium are what need adjusting, pretty badly. At least beams are decent now even though they wreck your capacitor. |

Lasers are **** on battleships. Don't compare pulse lasers to neutrons and projectiles. Nobody ever uses those on BS. Compare them to railguns and you'll quickly see how **** they are. A Megathron with railguns and CN Plutonium significantly outdamages a pulse Abaddon at its optimal range, and when using CN Thorium it also significantly outdamages a pulse Apoc at its optimal range. The ability of the rail Mega to deal damage from further away than this is far more valuable than the ability of the pulse ships to deal more damage than this when at point blank range, so there you go.
PvP balance in Eve is very simple. You fly Gallente or you go home. They're so overpowered that there's literally no risk in training for the FOTM here, as in the majority of ship classes they don't only have the best ship, but they also have the second best ship as well. So even if sentry drones get nerfed at some point, Gallente will still be the best at everything.
This man speaks the truth!
You have to really wonder about CCP's favoritism toward Gallente.... And before that it was Winmatar, their ally! |
