Originally by: Grimpak while alkeena is somewhat right, I have to agree with Tarminic and Mark Lucious.
one thing that the OP must take into consideration is the fact that most of the eve players are addicted to one thing: DPS. pretty much atm the ship that can dish the most DPS = the best ship.
if they nerf the ability of one ship that is a bit unbalanced because it dishes more dps than the norm, of course that the whinings will start.
dps addiction is what kills the game.
the problem whit this fix is that its not just 1 ship they are hitting whit this.. its ALL ships there use dropes.. one i dont konw jet is do all ships get a higher drone bay whit this. becouse is you still only have 125m3 drone bay you still only have so much space to fit drones in ( the drones you want to mix whit mostly ude a lot of drone space ) and non have told you to allways fit in 5x heavys. you all ways been able to mix the drones that you wanted to fix in whit in the limet of youre drone bay
while I rarely use heavy drones on ships smaller than BS (bar the ishtar), my setus always revolve arround specific situations where heavy drones are too bulky or too slow for the job, which makes these changes irrelevant to me, or even good, if they are boosting the dronebay sizes.
for the ishkur I usually use it in a anti-frigate role, so valks are a bit too slow here. instead I go for a full drone bay with T2 warriors and I still pack some spares. how will this change affect me? I will be able to pack more than 2 spares now.
for the myrmidon, I go for anti-support with Ewar capabilities, packing 2 wings of valks as the main weapon (they tear cruisers apart. honest) and 1 wing of warriors to fend off frigates that come too close, together with a dual MAR 2 tank, wich makes this ship very sturdy. how will this change affect me? maybe able to pack a 2nd wing of warriors.
however, I do agree that the Eos changes were overboard. The ship was stuck with lousy bonuses to a Warfare link type that was, already by itself, sucky, together with a bad tank. the saving grace was the ammount of firepower that the ship could dish out, making it being used in a role that it wasn't that ship in the first place. so how to change the ship to accommodate the role it should have, together with the changes that are looming there? strip the drone bay bonus, increase substancially the drone bay size, give a 2nd tanking bonus to the ship, so that the tank doesn't suck too much, and double or even triple the bonuses to Information warfare links.
Eos is now a true fleet command ship that can even do some footwork with repair bots to the gang, and no longer the rather overpowered droneboat that was in contradiction with all the other fleet command ships. ---
