This is a long time coming and I truely hope caldari ships are never flown post-facto. Once that reality sets in, CCP will finally be forced to face the music and realize they created a race entirely reliant on one overpowered BC and an ewar mechanic that is op in small gangs.
I look forward to the range quits in the interrim aswell. |

Does this mean we get cruise missiles that don't suck in pvp and torps that don't require a ship bonus or a mountain of ewar to apply dps? Might I even wonder or wish for t2 missiles without insane drawbacks? |

The drake tank nerf isn't something we should bemoan. The silly part is the lack of address to the rest of caldari after taking away the shining stars in their lineup. Quite literally the tengu is the only best-in-class ship caldari have left when the drake and falcon are out of the picture. The rokh, for all it's current hype (thanks to PL) will not take up that much slack. The naga fills a niche the size of a thimble. Remaining hybrid platforms run from moderately useful (harpy) to abhorrent garbage (eagle). Other missile platforms follow a similar trend, but they inhabit niche roles that are tiny or non-existent themselves.

Actually from the notes, it was CCP that proposed this. But the CSM enthusiastically agreed. Trend is for more firepower and less survivability? More explosions? More replacement ships? Is this the goal?
Just makes alpha look better and better. |

Is this the goal? Very doubtful. The goal is to remove the ability of newer players to enjoy eve without joining a super big alliance that has NAPed areas for moon goo in my opinion. Otherwise why on earth would CCP propose this in the first place? What on earth is going on CCP? Please say you will NOT implement this!
Can we please not derail an important discussion about caldari ships with your tinfoil asshattery?
thnx <3 |

I would like to re-quote the very last sentence, with an addition :- "For the sake of players new to EvE, Just don't be stupid and ruin the pve viability of the Drake for new pilots."

Actually, that is the best possible outcome. More new players not being suckered into the broken caldari/missile combo right out of the gate is a win/win situation. The newbs get into better ships eventually, even though admittedly the drake is about the best you can do with extremely low sp, and in the mean time they learn the skills necessary to make the superior weapon systems (turrets) shine.
Eventually the caldari ship count drags to a minimum with tengus being the last holdout and CCP has to finally recognize how broken the race is on the whole, rather than continue to objectify caldari based on what a single stand-out can do. Of course, I suspect a tengu nerf would be in the cards at that point, but a few years later we might actually get a launcher balance patch!
Conclusion? Off with the drake's head! It's for our own good. |
