Prop mode in my Hecate feels like I'm flying in a paper airplane. That is some ludicrous agility! You get to max speed in about 3 heartbeats. |

No AB bonus for Propulsion Mode, how come? This is going to become a sniping boat and a lot less diversifiable than the other T3s, especially as Gallente ships are known brawlers. Come on, lets give the AB some love!!!? |

Hecate just surpassed the Jackdaw totals on the kb's, in just over a week.
Big surprise there

Jackdaw is a capable ship it's just hard for people to use it right. As yet my 1v1 ship on SISI still has not died in 1v1 yet. I've yet to pony up the cash for a jackdaw on TQ though due to obvious reasons.

I believe it's to make it harder for oversized AB fits to become dominant.

it's not exactly stimulating gameplay - no powergrid usage, no mobility or sig penalties, it's buffer so you can't alpha it, it's capless and it has omni resists. I sure do love flying minmatar and dictating range, choosing damage types and neuting people out.
everyone seems to think it's really hilarious and amazing for some reason, but I don't see that hull tanking adds anything of value to the game. if the only downside is 'can't be remote repped', then I guess buffer shield/armour tanking is only so you can receive remote reps?
i used to frequently hull tank a catalyst, buffered with hull rigs, no local reps whatsoever. It vould burn things down so fast it didnt matter. |

the ease of getting over 600dps is absurd on a destroyer hull and then over 700dps in OH which is really easy for T3's too sustain , the point of D3's was too add versatility to a very narrow class, instead of you have just added T3 cruisers in a smaller class, shocking it really is   , and the most shocking thing is that CCP don't seem too see this at all.
Tech 3's need to be multi-role ships not cruiser hulls with battleship tank and insane resists.
ABC's are clearly T2 in all but name.. remove drone assist, nerf sentries, -3 slots for droneboats

With polarized neutrons you can get nearly 1100dps (heated) |

Yeah not a fan of the sniper Hecate. I've tried this several times in big fleet battles now, and am switching back to venerable confessor.
The difference in performance is stark. On paper, hitting dudes at 100km with spike would give you the same dps as a confessor with beams at 80km, but in actual application it doesn't work. This may be due to that most small ships don't tank very well to EM.
The Hecate will start to chew a frigs shields for maybe 200 damage per volley and those guys just laugh off the damage or warp away at their leisure. Not like the confessor volleys where your armor has already vanished by the time you think, "omg where did my shields go".
I'm still slowly getting into brawling with this ship but that's not at all survivable in a big fleet battle, so I thought I'd just put in my two cents so far :) |

The hecate is so far the only thing I've not been able to kill 1v1, with most fights ending in a stalemate against my jackdaw. Some shoddy piloting on my part also cost me a good hecate kill tonight, I could have done better.
So so far the hecate gets a thumbs up from my jackdaw, if only for being a PITA
