Idea: Give them more damage, character and a role.
They actually have character and a role; it just needs to be more clearly defined. They need to be good at what they do, not just able to do it at all.

Remove resistance bonus as its useless, replace with something useful, keeping thier current t2 resists.

First off, have their agility/inertia increased and sig radius reduced to that of their t1 variants.

Retribution (4-2-5) +25 CPU
Amarr Frigate Skill Bonus: 10% reduction in Small Energy Turret cap use, 5% bonus to Small Energy Turret Rate of Fire per level
Assault Ships Skill Bonus: 10% bonus to Small Energy Turret optimal range and 5% bonus to Small Energy Turret damage per level
I'd keep the current slot layout to be honest; sure, it makes her unviable as a solo ship, but that's one thing that makes her special; I'd rather have her get a fifth turret.
Quote:
Vengeance (4-3-4)
Amarr Frigate Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to rocket damage, 5% bonus to armor resistances
Assault Ships Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to rocket launcher rate of fire and 5% bonus to cap recharge rate per level
Check.
Quote:
Harpy (4-4-3) +30 cpu 50->75KM base lock range
Caldari Frigate Skill Bonus: 10% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret optimal range and 5% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret damage per level
Assault Ships Skill Bonus: 10% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret optimal range and 10% bonus to shield boost ammount per level
Okay.
Quote:
Hawk (4-5-2) +30 cpu
Caldari Frigate Skill Bonus: 10% bonus to Standard and Rocket Missile Kinetic Damage and 10% bonus to missile velocity
Assault Ships Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to standard and rocket launcher rate of fire and 7.5% bonus to the capacitor used by shield boosters per level
Why only a kinetic damage bonus ? The Vengeance is bonused on all damage types, and so should the Hawk as the ultimate missile AF.

Enyo (4-3-4) +25cpu Remove drone bay
Gallente Frigate Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret damage and 5% reduction in microwarpdrive capacitor penalty per level
Assault Ships Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret damage and 2% bonus to the effect of stasis webifiers per level
Same as the Retribution - the slot layout is one of the defining elements of this ship; also, you'd take away a good part of its damage, which is really what makes the Enyo shine. As for the web resistance bonus, I'd up that to, say, 5% per level.
Quote:
Ishkur (4-4-2) +30cpu +8PG 10m3 drone bandwidth, 50m3 drone bay. Remove 1 turret point
Gallente Frigate Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret damage and 10% bonus to drone damage and hitpoints per level
Assault Ships Skill Bonus: 7.5% bonus to Armor repair ammount and 5m3 bonus to drone bandwidth per level
I thought about bandwidth and repair bonuses too; to be honest, she should either be able to field a full flight of mediums or get hitpoint and damage bonuses like the other drone ships. Compared to the Ishkur's current simple extra spare drone bonus, the Ishtar's drone bonuses are insane - or the Ishkur's insanely low. Don't like the slot layout change again - giving her a tanking bonus and gimping her ability to actually fit a tank doesn't seem to make much sense. If she's to get 4 mids, I'd rather make it 3-4-3, as the drones should make up for that additional high.

Wolf (5-2-4) +25cpu +1 turret point +12PG
Minmatar Frigate Skill Bonus: 5% Small Projectile Damage bonus and 10% bonus to Small Projectile Optimal Range per level
Assault Ships Skill Bonus: 5% Small Projectile Turret damage and 10% bonus to accuracy falloff per level
I like this one; not sure about the falloff bonus, though; would help her with ACs of course, but softens the definition as an artillery platform.
Quote:
Jaguar (4-4-3) +10cpu +5PG +1 turret point
Minmatar Frigate Skill Bonus: 5% Small Projectile damage bonus and 15% bonus to accuracy falloff per level
Assault Ships Skill Bonus: 5% Small Projectile damage bonus and 10% bonus to shield hitpoints per level
Do you really mean 15% falloff bonus per level ? Not that I wouldn't like it, but it would give her an insane range for ACs. The shield hp bonus is okay if it translates well enough into an improved shield recharge rate.
Quote:
ROLE BONUS for ALL of these ships:
50% Reduction in heat damage taken by overloading, and 50% increased overloading effect on weapons.
That would mean heat would make up a very significant part of their performance; I don't really think that would improve the... |
