This blows. Just finished months of training to use the EOS and warfare links. Was about to start training for T2 heavies for it too. bleh. I can understand removing 2 turrent hardpoints to make it inline with the other command ships in it class but removing it's heavy drone capability is very harsh.
How many ships can actually field 5 heavy drones now?

*points and laughs ... then goes back and cries about what happened to the Damnation some more*
Anyway what I'm trying to say is, suck it up, Amarr have been nerfed forever and those players keep finding ways to use the ships, its all about thinking of diffrent ways to use the ships, so stop whining and start testing :P

The Eos was overpowered though. The Astarte is sick and should be but the Eos could do Astarte like damage when it is meant to be not as much DPS but better gang bonuses. Now the new nerf MIGHT go too far but we won't know till we see it. www.eve-pirate.com author and goat molestor.

Merin, aren't you a Caldari rail pilot or did you give in to the FotM Gallente?
Oh I get it, since they're nerfing the Eos there's no hope for that 7 turret vulture you wanted, so this is really a buff the vulture thread .
The Eos really needed the bat though, but I think they overdid it.

Caldari pilot, but that doesn't mean I want to see an Eos nerf. If anything, the fact that I don't even fly the ship and I still don't join the "omg high dps!!!!" whiners should give my arguments a bit more weight. After all, I can't be doing it just to keep my solo pwnmobile if I don't have the skills for one!
And as for wanting to keep the Eos un-nerfed just so I can argue for a better Vulture, that's just laughable. The Vulture needs fixing as part of the massive problem with the Caldari railboats, not to compete with the Eos. Maybe you should go dig up the threads where I've posted a fix for the Moa, Eagle, Ferox, Vulture and Merlin all using the same method.
The Eos is relevant only in that it was the only one of the four fleet commands that was actually done right. The other three inherit fatal issues from their awful T1 counterparts. But instead of admitting the mistake and fixing it, they've decided to nerf the Eos and keep the Ferox/Cyclone trash. This does make it harder to argue for a fixed Vulture (since a balanced Vulture would arguably out-class the nerfed Eos), but there are plenty of other reasons not to nerf the Eos.

Remember that the Eos can only do that damage from point-blank range, with minimal tank, cap vulnerability, web vulnerability, no gang mods, and a limited supply of fragile, slow, poor-tracking heavy drones. If anything, the Eos was arguably the worst of the fleet commands, since it had no role in a larger gang.
So yes, the Eos is a good ship for size-compensating quickfit comparisons, but you have to look at more than just dps in balance discussions.

Originally by: Larania Hypax Its a god damn DRONE BOAT, with Creodron as manufacturer. Why would it have less drone capability than the Ishtar? Less dronebay than the Ishtar was ok, therefor it has the turret dmg bonus and a nice amount of turrets, but now only fielding medium drones? Ridiculous! Cut the 2 turrets and give it back the capability of using 5 heavy drones, with 5 turrets and no drone damage bonus the damage should be similar to the Ishtar and would makeup for the lack of the drone dmg bonus! I honostly can't imagine who would fly an EOS anymore after this nerf. I can't believe this.
QFT. I certainly won't bother flying an EOS if they go with these changes to it. 15m3 instead of 50m3 and only able to field Medium drones and also remove two guns... WTF CCP?
Who's proposing these changes? Seriously, we're paying your salaries with our monthly fees so you can come up with this crap? How about you fix the 999 bugs that are still outstanding with this game?
WTS: 2x 50 million SP characters
What he said, all these nerfs is getting a little ******* ridiculous ccp. How about fixing some bugs rather than ****ing your customers off more and more.

Then you should realize why just having a high dps output isn't enough to make a ship unbalanced. And that's the only thing the Eos does well, it has plenty of drawbacks to keep it from being overpowered.
Here's a fun little comparison: the max-gank Eos you're talking about (3 magstabs, neutrons/void, ogre IIs, etc) compared to a max-gank Astarte. With max skills:
The Astarte does more damage (1048 to 1028), not counting implants. With gun damage implants (there are none for drones), the Astarte pulls ahead even farther.
The Astarte has a better sustained tank. With dual reps on both ships, the Astarte wins 236 to 219. Or wins 267 to 219 if you fit an EANM II instead of the damage control, which still gives you 2000 more effective HP.
The Astarte has more effective HP, 38337 to 27958.
The Astarte has better drones, using fast, high-tracking mediums instead of the slow, poor-tracking Ogre IIs.
So if all you want is massive damage, why would you ever fly an Eos? It's hardly an un-balanced ship because of high damage if no sane pilot would ever fly one over the competition.

Ok perhaps the Eos needed a slight nerf but it had the worst tank and the worst gang links and needed to get upclose in your face to do the damage and now even scoop and deploy is not going to work so another blow there so a smartbomb will eventually kill your drones and tbh it's gonna be even harder to break a passive tank now and it was pretty hard before.
If you were gonna nerf it CCP why not make it into a pure drone boat instead like an ishtar with gang links bonus but only 2 - 4 turrets?

You are compareing two different classes. Compare Eos to the other fleet commands. It was brought in line with this fix. Beets, you're among friends. |

That was exactly the point. People are whining that the current TQ Eos is overpowered because of its high damage. The purpose of that comparison is to show that the max-gank Eos setups they're talking about are completely redundant. There is absolutely no reason to fly an Eos with that "overpowered" setup, so it's irrelevant to the discussion.
And the Eos wasn't brought in line, it was nerfed well below the other fleet commands. It was never significantly better than the other fleet commands in the real world, thanks to issues with terrible gang mods and pathetic range. Now it's even more useless at "omg damage!!!!" while getting no improvement to compensate for those flaws.
Yes, it was a bit better, just because it was the only one actually focused on its intended role (even if that role was somewhat lacking). The only issue with the other fleet commands is the split weapon layouts they inherit from their awful, completely obsolete T1 counterparts. The solution is to fix the Ferox (7 turrets) and Cyclone (I'll let the Minmatar pilots pick, but probably 6-7 turrets) and by extension, the Vulture and Claymore, not to nerf the only fleet command ship that is actually done right.

Worst tank of the Fleet Commands and the only one that has to be ontop of you / can lose half more than half its dps if the drones are killed.
But noo, clearly it must also have a lower damage output than 2 others aswell!
This over the top nerf will become less so if you also offer the Eos a 10% bonus to drone damage and hitpoints per Battlecruiser level, if not then what's the point in flying the Eos with a lesser tank when you can have a faster ship with a better tank and more firepower at range in the Claymore or Vulture.

EOS was the only Fleet Command that could do enough DPS and Tank well enough to kill most well-fit Battleships (except those fielding heavy neuts). Whilst I DO think this nerf is way too far, the other commands are pretty pathetic in a comparison.
Damnation for instance. Amazing tank, with Gang Mods your fleet will love you - but it does the DPS of a dead fly with that sort of setup, whereas EOS is still able to field 5 heavies ---

Now CCP please increase thewarfare link efectiveness on Fleet commandships from 3% to 7.5% and add in a cap reduction bonus either as a new logistics requirement or under the role bonus.

Yes, the drones can make extreme damage as on gallente ships like BS-DPS, but so what? If you want to do something about drones, then people should actually use the game mechanics => USE SMARTBOMBS But if people still wanting guns guns guns, okay let them die to drones. I see nothing wrong...
I think the drone nerf is about need for speed only and not that the ships are overpowered or such.
