I assume that these will be replacing the current extra large guns... If so, isn't this is a massive nerf? In what situation would anyone field a dread, worth billions, to kill sub-caps if it only has the fire power of 2-3 battleships?
I'm looking at this from the perspective of a wormholer and it seems as though there will be no use for dreads outside of pos bashing and instead, I'll be forced to fly a carrier if I want to fly caps in a fight. No, the new XL anti-subcap guns will be a second type of capital gun. The existing XL guns will still be around, but will be focused on anti-cap/structure damage application only. Can you not evade this question in every post? And just answer it?
Wait, what question are you trying to get answered? |

CCP, could you rebalance subcapital logistics ships in the same way as FAX machines? Removing the ability of repping logi to receive remote reps or cap would do a lot to encourage fights at the subcapital level as well. |

for what reason How many dps have DREAD WITH NEW GUNS WITHOUT SIEGE? To understand this 3x3 Large cannons
With the new guns, dreads without siege will have very limited dps. The 2-3k number for the new guns was in siege, I'm sure you can scale that back based on how siege improves current gun damage. |

That's what siege mode is for. If you want high subcap damage without siege, use a battleship. |

One thing to remember about dread dps with the new guns is that, while 1-2k dps doesn't sound like much, dreads are significantly more mobile and tankier than battleships, so if they had more dps than battleships against subcapitals, why would you fly anything else? Cost would be a factor, but as is well known, cost can never be a factor when it comes to balancing ships e.g. titans. |
