I would like to point out there is nothign wrong with the pilgrim in its current form, as a combat operationship it operates fine, which cause the dilema that the curse which is supposed to be our combat operation recon fails.

Now simply changing the pilgrim to a range bonus really dosne;t help this situation, no matter how much you buffed the curse, range bonus just inpowers the pilgrim further, especially versus things such as vagabonds.

How ever id liek to point out a few things, about our opossing races, Rapier > Huginn thansk to the extra low, and again the arazu is much prefered over the lachesis thank to the extra lows and cloak. Now all the combat recon ships got extra meds which is fine if i actually wanted to use said meds for a shield tank. But to be perfectly honest after fitting all my Ewar, points, web, im out of shield tanking slots.

In my opinnion the pilgrim is fine, what fails epically is the curse and that needs altering. Its not the comparrison in tank that needs altering its the comparrison in DPS over EWAR. The lowest DPS boats are the caldari which boast the highest ewar potential of all recons. the curse and pilgrim are at the other extreme they lack the Ewar self protection but have a highish DPS to cover for it. Now comparing with the Lachesis and Huginn both these boats have more DPS on paper due to other damage bonuses. But these bonuses arn;t really used a huge amount due to the fitting constraints in CPU and powergrid to really maximise these fits. But they are available options.

Perhaps a better fix would be to give the curse a Launcher rate of fire bonus over the tracking disruptor bonus. This would bring it more into line with the philopshy of the khanid ships. At the end of the day no recon is supposed to be a substitute for a HAC, there usefull assets for removing tactical advantages the enemy has, be that speed, Tank, DPS what ever.

If the pilgrim got this range bonus, LIKE ALL THE OTHER FORCE RECONS HAVE, then the problem would be solved.
