No, because all you'd do is decide that you have a different preference for the stats and claim you;d fit it another way. How you would fit a ship isn't relevant when talking about how everyone else will fit their ships, so I have no intention of turning this into an EFT warrior discussion.

Please. You can't even answer questions straight up.
Will doctrine ships not fit a DC? No. The one's that use them will still use them.
Are there other ships that might have used them, but no longer will...you hide be the usual hand waving and total Bravo Sierra.

Lucas Kell wrote: I know you would then pull out EFT and say "you can get more defense with X" but since defense isn't the only relevant stat, that's meaningless.
Why do you fit them now? Lucas Kell wrote: Some fits you can remove the DC, take less of a defense hit than you used to and add to other attributes.
Name them. Yeah, I'm dying to see one of these fits myself. I doubt we will. I get what Lucas is saying, but with a DC II in the lows you get a pretty big boost to hull EHP as well as more modest increases to armor and shields. The nice thing about the DC II is that it buffs all aspects of defense. The added DPS on the other hand is much more limited. So with a DC II you get almost 2.5x in hull EHP plus the increase in armor EHP plus the increase in shield EHP....much like you do today. Without a DC II post patch you'll simply get a 1.5 increase in hull EHP and no added EHP in shields or armor. Adding a DC II to a typhoon increases the EHP almost by 50%. Post patch it will be only slightly less. Removing the DCII will mean a 25% drop in EHP. Adding another damage mod will have a tough time compensating.
I think you're a lot more likely to see them dropped on anything that fits less than two damage mods currently. I'd expect to see it most on t1 frigates and destroyers for short fights. For something like a buffer frigate that's already fairly tanky, like the merlin, trading a DC for a magstab make sense for fights against a SAAR or single MASB fits and is a pretty viable trade. Even a small amount of DPS makes a big difference in a fight vs an active tank ship once you've broken their active tank.
Otherwise, I think that the change will mostly benefit anti tackle cruisers and maybe a few other kiting ships. If flown right, ships like the cookie cutter nomen or RLML SFI are only ever really dealing with drone DPS. For them, I don't think you'll see extra damage mods fit. In the case of the nomen, it makes fitting a second nano a little more viable and given the nerf this playstyle took from the hictor buff it's not going to break the game.
In terms of the balance between the gained DPS vs lost EHP, pretty much any scenario from the above examples would result in proportionately more EHP being lost than DPS gained, but that isn't really a bad thing. For most frigates, not fitting a DCU and gaining the new base resist to structure is enough new buffer to tank one more volley. I think that's the kind of balancing that's good for keeping high risk, high reward gameplay in check.
Time will tell, but I don't think this change is going to result in a big disturbance to the current metagame, just a little tweaking in specific corners of it. As for this thread, as usual, it's devolved again into a couple of parties engaged in a pointless struggle to win unwinnable arguments. To an outsider, both sides look absolutely insane and could probably benefit from a little stint in the time-out corner. |

Sounds like one of the more sensible people here. A freighter on AP carrying 10bil through high-sec will still be very worth it to gank after this.
These changes may reduce some of the lol-lets-gank-an-empty-tanked-freighter silliness going around though. IMO this was getting a bit too much and a freighter buff was needed.
Apart from buffing freighters, I like it that DCUs will become a bit more optional now. |

Gentlemen, what makes you think that freighters will in the end receive structure EHP buff if stated reason is to counteract DC changes, which freighters can't fit? Sure, exception is possible.

Okay, so you can't post a current fit that does have a DC, but post patch won't.
Whatever.

The 12.5% to shields and 15% to armour both help greatly so its not just the 40% to structure. |

Saying that it makes zero difference is a lie, and to be quite honest I'm surprised that you of all people are letting him slide with that one.

No you haven't, at most you've gone over every ship I've been killed in. Mainly because having 16 accounts I find it very doubtful that you even know half the ships and fits I fly. Yet another complete and utter fabrication from yourself.
Also, EHP isn't everything I'll sacrifice 1/3 EHP on some of my ships quite happily for a boost in other areas, but perhaps removing the DC as it stands would be too far.

Well, in a strict sense you are right. Taking a DC off of a ship post patch won't "hurt" as much as it would pre-patch. However, from my stand point and in a functional sense you are wrong. For me if a ship had a DC before the patch it will still have one after the patch.

And for me not all of them will. I'm not at all disputing that CCP could make the DC less important than they currently have planned and not even disputing that it would be a good thing for them to do so (though depending on how they did it, ships that can fit a DC but don't already would be seriously buffed or seriously nerfed), I'm simply disputing the idea that the change will have zero uptake, which baltec is claiming.

Ok battleships it is.
Solo armageddon loses 23.5% in EHP
Baltec fleet mega loses 15.6% in EHP
Imperium Mach fit loses 14.7% in EHP
Raven loses 22.7% in EHP
Solo rattle loses 17.4% in EHP
Of note, shield ships would suffer the most it seems if they forgo the DCU with armour ships not able to match the ehp with any other mod and any damage or tracking increase is far below the advantage given by the DCU.

And your point is what? We all know that defense decreases when you remove a defensive module, yet people still forego defensive modules for other modules. Again, you are only ever coming from a point of view where the only thing that matters is raw EHP, which is not the only thing players look for. That's no possible way you still don't get this, so stop trolling.

There are a few ships i don't put DCU's on, this doesn't really change that. A kiting vagabond is a great example of this. If you're brawling, almost every fit is going to have a DCU. Kiting fits that use a DCU before may not use them after (even with the enormous 1% hull resist gain), as they mainly use a DCU to have some kind of hull resist to not bleed structure, or to supplement shield/armor resistances. Now they put in an eanm or another armor resist mod in since they have 33% base hull buffer to work with instead of 0%.
They may find now with the 33% base resist, that they would like to add a TE, more damage/resist etc instead of the DCU. I don't see how this makes it a "must have" mod when what the DCU change is providing already gives some room to adjust fits as needed.

DCU adds more to a ships tank than any other mod you can fit. The same reasons we all fit it now still apply. |
