To the OP:
How about you change this thread's topic title to the BC Nerf and take away the death threat to me, eh? Focus your anger where it belongs, not on a fellow player who just made an off hand comment at FF to a Dev (like the other 650 people there).

Totally agree. Come on ppl. Yell at the developers when you are not happy. At least Tux gets paid to take the steady abuse. Seleene is just a player like the rest of us. There is no valid reason to make threats over stuff like this.
No one can hear you scream in space, so just shut up and die already. |

Originally by: Captain Raynor Drake is total crap now, I can only hope they give it back the rate of fire bonus. If not, it's basically a pre-kali boost Nighthawk, looks nice but isn't worth the materials used to make it.
When is CCP going to realize that kin dmg bonus is stupid, Gallente whined it up hardcore when they were "almost" hit with a thermal drone dmg bonus so why is caldari still screwed with this worthless bonus?
Drones do different DPS depending on damage type (TH>KI>EXP>EM), missles do the same DPS for each damage type (EM=EXP=KI=TH). I'd rather see missles get some kind of damage progression (e.g. KI>EM>EX>TH) and replace the kinetic damage bonus with a flat damage bonus, but I doubt that will ever happen.
I'm aware that drones have different stats, though only the EM ones are worthless, obviously Amarr drone technology is junk, the rest are okay and more or less balanced.
Far as missiles go, sure, however I think a straight up rate of fire bonus for missile ships is perfectly fine.
Raven has ROF, Phoenix has ROF. Both are considered good ships, the rest? Not so much.
Missile boats need a rate of fire bonus to be competetive with the other races ships pretty much, look at the Nighthawk what a joke that ship is on tranquility. Given ROF bonus, it becomes a champ like the rest of the command bcruisers, just look at the price increase since the ROF announcement in Kali.

Drake was SUPPOSED to be the "gank" version, Ferox the "tank" version. Now, with BOTH sporting 5% shield resists and one of them hybrid range, the other kinetic missile bonus... aren't they basically pretty much just BOTH "tank and almost no gank" ?
If you want to change something, change the almost-too-overpowered 5% shield resist to 10% kinetic damage bonus and LEAVE the danged 5% RoF bonus in place.
With 5% RoF bonus and 10% missile kinetic damage bonus, THAT would be a gank platform that wouldn't tank as good as a Ferox (well, to be honest, it still would due to sheer size difference, but at least it wouldn't be BETTER). _____ -sig-

I don't think they're serious. I've said "let's go pod her", but only as a joke. Especially because I'm a nobody and could be sneezed dead.
I think that joke ran it's course very quickly though, and even a joke maybe oog threat is pretty sketch TBH.
How about we go pod the devs? As we don't know who they are, we'll have to do everyone. Form an orderly line please

The tier2 battlecruisers did do too much DPS.. tbh.. dropping some turrets/launchers wasn't entirely a bad thing.
Ugh but did they have to put the stamp of suck AKA kinetic missile dmg bonus on the Drake? jeez.

Well if the 'cane works like an oversized Rupture, I can't complain because I love the Rupture, and took some time training to get it working properly. Shame though.
I was really looking forward to 7 turrets of AC pwnage, and a Minmatar ship aside from the Vagabond (apparently another ship on the nerf list) that pilots from other races wanted to fly!         
As for the Drake. It looked interesting, and the Ferox usually runs around with 5 unbonused missile launchers on it. At least the Caldari get the ship that the Ferox should have been. I'd quite like to see the Ferox get a reduction to missile hardpoints, but that's another topic.
Most Caldari pilots seem to be npc / mission runners, so with teh volume of Guerristas missions, I'm sure that part of the community is very happy with the new nerfed Drake.

Let's just kill all the Tier 2 BCs. Take them out of the game. We don't want them anymore (except the amarr one, and they can't have it because we all hate amarr). I haven't seen a single positive thread about any of them except the Drake and Hurricane, and now that they're dead... well, they're all just expensive hunks of metal like all non-battleship faction ships. And I hate buying faction ships.
Death to all tier 2 BCs! Take them out and fix what we already have! ----------------------------

The sad thing is, the Ferox is actually almost just as good as the Drake now as a missile platform unless you are straight out loaded kinetic missiles.
Most people do not use kinetic missiles in PvP, in fact it's usually a bad idea to use them, especially vs t2 ships which 3/4 races get boosted kinetic resists (Minmatar is the only race which doesn't).
Weak man.. weak.. Drake should be a good ship, rate of fire made it worthwhile.. hell Ferox has more grid, technically you could get a more solid setup on it compared to the Drake... w e a k.

Originally by: Darknar what are you lot whining about...
the ddrake got a much needed nerf. its still as potent as before but with the rightfull racial damage. now your not using as many missiles now as well..
granted i was looking forward to the 8 turreted hurricane, however, 7 turrets is still fairly good.
i belive ccp nerfbatted thses two ships is becuse some people where far too hype about them. and the people who cant use the ships where complaining far to much becuse the other races ships where too good..
i on the otherhand think this has clearly put the 4 teir 2 battlecruisers back down to a balanced form beetween each other.
I fully expected a drake nerf, but losing a rof bonus AND a launcher hardpoint is a pretty nasty nerf. It has what, 20% more damage than a caracal with the changes? What I thought would happen, was that it would lose the resistance bonus for something less spectacular(more like a shield boost bonus, you know, something it totally doesn't have a use for). I would most certainly trade in BOTH bonuses to get the rof bonus and the 7th launcher hardpoint back.

I'm quite annoyed by the Hurricane nerf.
The Hurricane was set to be a great T1 battlecruiser, something that finally gave Minmatar pilots a nice number of turret slots rather than stupid split weapon setups. Personally, I would rather it have dropped a high slot entirely than lost a turret slot and still have 8 highs. While I was previoulsy excited about this ship, now I can't see myself even wanting to invest in one.

I like how you think. That would be some sweet luvin'. I would actually be seen firing missiles that aren't explosive or em!

Um, if you fit it with guns, it was already the 3rd best BC, behind the Brutix and hurricane, with the Drake a respectable 4th.
Now, #2 and #4 got nerfed.

Dont nerf the good ships, boost the crap ones.
People were finally excited about their matari skills, i know i was.
Now its just an average ship with a bad layout. for a 1/5 of the price i can buy a rupture and be 60% - 70%as effective, how does that math work.
The cost of the cane no longer justifies purchising it other then to look at yourself in the new ship, which i will probably do.
Although i really think the drake got the worst of it here. That nerf is way over the top.
EDIT: Remove the players name from title please.

Nope, sorry, can't do. That would make far too much sense. And FFS people, lay off Seleene. I'm as much ****ed by the devs ****ing up yet another good Minnie ship, but pointing the finger at Sel is just immature and stupid. On another note, I'm glad Amarr gets something good for once...
