Hello everyone! We're ready to start the feedback thread for the fourth and final Tactical Destroyer: the Gallente Hecate.
The stats and bonuses of this ship have remained fairly steady since the last time we discussed them publicly at Fanfest. Even more than the other T3 destroyers, the Hecate is a ship with extreme strengths and extreme weaknesses. It has incredible damage and burst tank, along with the first ever hull resistance bonus in EVE. Like the Jackdaw it swings between very high agility and very low agility depending on the mode. Since it has no sig reduction in defensive mode, the Hecate will have a slightly tougher time evading damage than its peers.
The Hecate is also unique in that its propulsion mode speed bonus is tied to the microwarpdrive module rather than boosting base velocity.
With 5 turrets and a 5% RoF bonus the Hecate enjoys 10 effective turrets, one more than the Confessor and Svipul. It is also the first T3 destroyer with an active tanking bonus. Since both the damage bonus and the active tank bonus come in the form of RoF reductions, capacitor will be a definite challenge for the Hecate and cap boosters should be common.
The tracking and optimal bonuses provide some excellent railgun options.
The Hecate's powergrid is extremely tight, but it has quite generous CPU.

it is probably a typo. or something very sad.

Winter Archipelago wrote:That hull bonus looks to be incredibly tasty, but hull reps are, well, underwhelming. Is there any chance that hull reps will be getting a once-over soon? Perhaps in a module tierecide patch?
Perhaps the rep bonus could be to armor and hull both?
At the very least, a line of ancillary hull reps might be a tasty little venture to try. Perhaps their "ammo" would be scrap metal?
That being said, I look forward to flying and dying in them regardless!
The weakness of hull reps is very very intentional. The fact that there are no good options for in-combat local or remote hull repairing is what makes hull tanking a distinct and unique form of gameplay instead of just a copy of armor tanking with different modules.
We can balance it knowing that during fights a hull tank is a pure buffer tank, allowing it to be stronger in other ways without breaking the game balance.
