Originally by: Hydrian Alante Edited by: Hydrian Alante on 18/11/2006 14:00:38 Hello Mr Stupid
The Ferox has that much Powergrid to fit RAILGUNS and not oversized shield Modules that are ment to be on a Battleship.
And please stop the kinetic is a bad damage bull****.
Compared to EM kinetic is a lot better. Kinetic is the 2nd best dmg to bring down an armor tank today. 80% of all PvP fitted ships are armor tanked with EANMs + DC so kinetic is very usefull instead of crap EM.
I am sorry but Jim...ermmm...I mean the captain is absolutely correct on this. Kinetic damage means that anytime the drake isn't using Scourge heavies or the HAM kinetics you might as well fly a caracal. Atleast then you'd get a velocity bonus too. Or a ferox... atleast its more flexible. At the moment it has 2 rubbish bonuses that make it just small notch above the ferox... which is a rail boat.
Kinetic isn't exactly rubbish for pvp... but its 1 damage type. Its highly resisted on shields for basically every ship in the game. You use EM missiles when you are on a secondary called target in PVP so you can *****shields off so that when the turret ships get done with the primary they can work directly on armor. You use explosive if you are shooting a primary called target because by the time your missiles reach it, if its still there, the shields will be raped by the turret users.
How can something so simple be lost on people wanting to play devils advocate in a forum they shouldn't even be in.

Originally by: Tuxford We can always remove some launcher slots from the ferox if that boosts the drake for you. Drake is fine. Kinetic damage is fine. Spouting **** like "kinetic damage sucks" is just bull**** and you know it.
Even so I bet Amarrians would love to be able to take a 25% damage drop and do explosive damage. The ship is fine and if you can't make it work its not the ship that sucks.
I whole heartedly approve you taking 2 launchers off the ferox.

Tux if you would drop the resistance bonus and add a RoF bonus on top of the Kinetic bonus then we'd be cooking with gas. And it would be inline with the phoenix's bonus. Anyways the Ferox has the shield resistance bonus that is inline with the Rokh.
How about it?

Originally by: Matrix Aran You see, when I say this stuff no one listens. A Dev steps up and says the same stuff, and still no one listens. For the most part kiddos, the ships in eve are fairly well balanced and setup. If you can't make them work you really are limited to thinking inside the box. And hey, guess what, Tux isn't forcing you to fly these ships. If you don't like them then stick to your ferox or your Raven.
You can't beat math. And you can't tell people with a straight face to go fly something else when the developers have decided to overnerf a ship that didn't deserve such harsh treatment. Its crap. It has 1 more launcher than a caracal... do you understand this? It has 1 more launcher than a caracal. That means it is a floating tankacal for 30 more million isk. Bleh!
Some people have millions of SP invested into missiles and will never see damage scaling from cruiser to battlecruiser like turret users. It will be kestrel -> hawk -> caracal -> Nighthawk -> cerberus -> raven to actually see your skills at work.
Where as a minmatar will be rifter -> jaguar -> wolf -> stabber -> rupture -> vagabond -> cyclone -> muninn -> claymore -> hurricane -> sliepnir -> tempest/maelstrom
