Many ships can be made to look overpowered. It's circumstantial.
I faced a small gang in my beam Coercer a week or two ago. It was comprised of several interceptors and a Svipul. I took the Svipul into armor without taking any damage myself, made him run away like little-*****, and got an interceptor kill to boot.
Does that mean the Coercer is over-powered? Nope. It just means I found a situation in which the Coercer could beam like the sun.
Having said all that, I really like the Svipul. I think it's a wonderful ship. I wish there were more ships like it.
What you really should striving for in this game, is to make a lot of the currently terrible ships better, not to make currently good ships terrible. There's a wide variety of garbage cans that need to be buffed or tweaked in some way, the Svipul isn't one of them. |

a svipul would rip the sentinel in about 3 seconds, cause small capless guns dont give a crap about TD or neuts, and a svipul would easily have enough cap to burn into range.
No. The fact With 10mn ab is that you agility is crap and you're super easy to kite. A sentinel pilot just has to hit 'orbit @ 20' and that's all. Those 2 mwd caracals should have been able to keep him at range, but they were just bad. And even if the svipul is maybe a bit powerful in a solo, it has just no utility in small gang due to its lack of damage projection. Also where did he get the idea that small artillery don't care about TDs? The Svipul can barely hit out to 50km. If it's a 280mm arty fit, he can make it a tough fight for the Sentinel, but there's no reason why a Sentinel couldn't engage him and then leave if he had to. Optimal range disruption script would be the obvious choice against Svipul. |

If something is to be done about the Svipul, it must affect only the 10mn AB setup, because that seems to be the only setup which can be argued is OP. |
