As most here have noted, the Curse is still a good ship, though no longer an 1-win button and requires a lot more pilot skill and micromanagement of cap.
The Pilgrim is weak. It needs more grid, for starters, and maybe something else besides.

Originally by: Hydrogen 3rd page - are Pilgrim pilots finally really the minority?
Let me check! Well according to E-ON magazine issue 003 there where (at its time of publication) 307 Pilgrims in active service, selling at a market value of 141,040,000ISK.
Hmm how times have changed.
ineve.net shows 1388 trained pilgrim pilots out of a survey of some 50k capsuleers.
Odd then that while demand has presumabley gone up (there are more pilots), the price has *cough* fallen like a stone...

So your point is?
Pilgrim pilots accept by now, that they are lost? I can not really believe that this is the attitude on how CCP wants to solve things :) __

I don't think the Pilgrim and/or the Curse are totally screwed.
The Curse is still a good ship, but with some drawbacks now, as you have to use Neutralizers and NOS in micromanagement to engage targets, bigger then a T1-cruiser, but fo rgangs they can be fitted extremely good for Cap-destroying.
The Pilgrim is not really that good anymore, when it comes to Solo- Small-Gang PvP as it does not have the range, to do this job well with the NOS-changes that were made.
The NOS-change makes it near impossible to sustain the tank of the Pilgrim and use the Neutralizers to weaken the targets Cap at the same time. I'ts DPS on the other hand is still superior in comparison to the other Force-Recons. 5x Hammerhead II's with max Drone-Skills and the 50% Damage-Bonus from Amarr-Cruiser LvL 5, resulting in 230 DPS. But you have to go close (< 12km) instead of keeping +30km like the others, which is the problem of the Pilgrim.
So as a solution the Pilgrim should be given NOS/Neut Range Bonus, what I'd rather dislike, or a better Capacitor (i.e. 20% better CapRecharge) to perform in it's role, as a sneaky Tackler.
And get rid of the targeting-delay for Force Recons and Covert Ops allready! .

Pilgrim is dead to me. And the Curse is like an ugly child. You don't wanna be near it, but you kinda feel obligated too.

Amarr recon's are going to start ruling.
Main reason is, Damps are getting nerfed.
So, Lachesis and Arazu are going to fallout, and tracking disrupters (remeber, that other bonus the curse gets?) is probably going to come into favor.
So, relax, lets see what trinity has in store for amarr recons. ----------------- Friends Forever

Nope! TDs are getting strength nerfs and scripts too. Sorry. --

As long as damps and jammers affect turrets and launchers (and more) at reasonable chances, the TDs will be subpar. __

It is just - TDs are way less effective than jammers and dampeners. That is exactly why the NOS-strength made up for it on Pilgrim. With NOS-nerf Pilgrim is still plain broken.
What bothers me is that CCP does not seem to read their board anymore. __

Well had a look on Sisi, hoping somethign changed. Of course it did: the 50MBit bandwidth is still in effect.
As a result: a broken ship is being nerfed. What is next? Increasing Neutralizer power consumption? Sorry, that is laughable. __

I never bothered using TDs anyway because they were so limited in use given the prevalence of missile and drone boats around. I found that by maximizing damp skills, using damp rigs and using best named damp modules, the Pilgrim was still useable in solo scenarios, tho very much a pain in the ass to manage the cap. Given the magnitude of the Damp nerf tho, I just can't find a reason to fly the Pilgrim at all anymore. Believe me, tracking disruptor nerf and the drone nerf aren't the only things nailing the coffin shut on the Pilgrim on SISI at the moment.

'the curse still is a good ship'
yes it is in its current form. Tho the pilgrim became unviable after the first nerf.
however considering the epic amount of nerfing hitting this class it sure won't be.
Nos Nerf - live drone bandwidth Nerf - on SISI Tracking Disruptor Nerf - on SISI
The curse is unviable in this state and like its stealthy brother will cease tobe used.

Sorry I tend to disagree, just because it needs to be more definite (imho):
'The Nano/damp-Curse still is a good ship'
Any chance you can agree to that formula :) ? __

yeah, I came to the self same conclusion. On the plus side we can now cross train to fly the Falcon - it got a boost.
Once more I sit through sisi down time, hoping against hope that when I log on the pilgrim will not be a sad little ship anymore......

Dev's please change your "no posting in Amarr threads" policy!
We know you're reading, but this policy is stupid. Hydro and the other contributors have put a lot of thought into this, at least acknowledge their efforts and that there is a problem with these ships.
Please.

Tbh, CCP's attitude is somehow weird. Amarr Recon Pilots were quite patient after the NOS nerf. In all other threads the point about both is communicated clearly, not offensive. Reasonably - quite contrary to other threads.
Now when a Carrier change was announced, the reaction was constant and less reasonable - if at all. In the latter case quite an immediate reraction - here: no reaction at all. Not a word, not a change on Sisi, plain nothing.
Is it really, that CCP prefers whining masses over reasonable players?
I mean c'mon if CCP believes different, nothing stops them from stating Amarr Recons esspecially Pilgrim is fine. That would be at least a clear statement - instead: nothing at all. __

Today we had a pilgrim gatecamping in FD-MLJ for quite some time racking up some kills on a few bcs and battleships. They are hardly borked atm.
He couldn't stop swearing in local when 2 domis actually killed him. Does that tell you anything about how the pilgrim actually performs?

Not really, no because we dont know how his target were fitted, the experience of the players, their skills or a host of other details. Nor is the player your example gives operating with the new EW modules & scripts.
So your example is rather mute. Sure we can find examples of any ship getting kills - few ships simply can't, but the pilgrim is consistently at the wrong end of a nerf stick.
Does the pilgrim need omgwtf boosts? No, it needs some attention to make it carry out its role. The Falcon has been given a helping hand: why not the pilgrim?

That's an impressive feat for a Pilgrim (solo camping?) on a gate and as mentioned would probably say more about the pilot and his/her skills. However, I'd be interested in seeing the killmails. Any links or names you could give us?
