Gamesguy Amarr D00M. Triumvirate.	Posted - 2008.01.26 01:59:00 - [31] Originally by: testtest123123 You can't keep a mega at range without sacrificing your shield tank. So yeah you might get off some dmg before the mega is in range but once it's in it's range from mwd'n towards you, your webbed and he's wrecking you. He'll catch up damage wise because the raven is webbed and it's tank is nerfed. I'm not keeping the mega at range. We're simply starting off at 20km, mega mwds into range and webs, raven can do whatever it wants. And how does a raven's tank drop if its webbed? Quote: What's the mass of a raven vs a megathron? how much more does a plate add to the mega? A fully trimarked/plated mega is slower than a raven.
Psychic Sue Minmatar	Posted - 2008.01.26 01:59:00 - [32] Originally by: Psychic Sue then I don't really see why you named this thread with a big "NERF" in the title when it is indeed so obvious. An adjustment to fit the other races. Period. Heck, I also wish the torps stayed as they wre, but seen from anobjective mode, it was to be expected.
Arana Tellen Gallente The Blackguard Wolves Knights Of the Southerncross	Posted - 2008.01.26 02:00:00 - [33] Originally by: testtest123123 Quote: What does that have to do with anything? You still win. Raven has similar amounts of hp and slightly less dps, but it can start doing the dps from further away. You can't keep a mega at range without sacrificing your shield tank. So yeah you might get off some dmg before the mega is in range but once it's in it's range from mwd'n towards you, your webbed and he's wrecking you. He'll catch up damage wise because the raven is webbed and it's tank is nerfed. Yeah you sacrifice two midslots to dictate range and deal full damage (thats if you dont have a target painting ship in gang, otherwise its only one slot). So its a 5 slot armor tank (with 2 mag stabs) verses a 4 slot shield tank. Bearing in mind the blaster ship has to close and worries about tracking while the raven outpaces it and can start dealing full damage off the bat. --------------------------------- Oh noes!
F90OEX	Posted - 2008.01.26 02:01:00 - [34] Yes torps suck.... Only thing that bothers me about torps is when your in the station > fittings and right clicking on the torp to get the flight time and speed. When you do the math says 30.2km range for faction/rage. But outside its 26km at best since when the torp is launched it does not reach max speed once it has been fired. Its takes 2-3km to get it to max speed. And at close range Rage torps orbiting a ship 2-3 times before it hits the ship is kinda silly too... Other then that ..

testtest123123	Posted - 2008.01.26 02:10:00 - [36] Quote: How can the mega catch you if you are faster? Ok the default speed for a mega is faster then a raven. But with that aside the Raven has alot more mass then a mega. Now I might be wrong but most Mega's usually fit 1 to 3 plates. Say 1600 rolled tungsten plates. If I did the math correctly the mega still has less mass. So who's going to be faster while mwd?

The raven will win anyways even if it were to stand still, as long as the fight starts at 20km.
Dalen III Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2008.01.26 02:20:00 - [38] Think the main point where missing is how can someone make so much money in EvE by killing boars. Don't blame me, blame the main I'm supporting.

I think you over estimating the important of speed here. you'll do the same dps up close at 30km as at 2 km. missles are great for this. and the time it takes to get to you will be easily 2 mins so that's a lot of extra dps for you. However at the same time I want to make your argument more valid. The bigger problem is that a mega doesn't have to use mid solts for tanking thus fitting a MWD is not as big an issue. on the other hand ravens don't need cap to shoot. But yes that MWD doesn't hurt it's tank as far as fittings go while raven needs it mid solts to fit a tank.

True... but what Mega does not use a 100MWD and Web, out of all the mega's I have fought its never a 20km fight lol ..

And the 3 damage mods the mega fits to compete with torp raven dmg don't hurt its tank at all? Just saying...

The raven stands still, the mega mwds from 20km and webs the raven, THE RAVEN STILL WINS. Unless you're a ****** and put an xl boost on your raven.

Unless you're a ****** and put an xl boost on your raven. the only raven I seen defeat the mega was the new T2 Goalm(sp) but I got a fix :) no more Battle ships for me not as long as a frig can take them out I will stick with my kessy and merlin lol while I spend the next 2 years training to fly the mega :) the Uber ship in eve well all Gall ships are Yes I am maxed out Cald and the Raven is worthless to me now Roch is cool :) I Don't Play games, I play Eve Online !!! Get Into the Game it makes it fun for all
Zeba Minmatar Pator Tech School	Posted - 2008.01.26 03:25:00 - [44] Originally by: testtest123123 That set up would only work on the assumtion that some one gets close enough to you for them to be in range of torps. .......... The Raven is not a Gallante ship so unless CCP makes a shield tank mod that can fit in a low slot I just don't see it worth any while to even use Torps in PVP or missions for that matter. lol. you just want to argue. Originally by: Nice Guy This means that the writer epicaly fails at english. Irony. So delicious.

Its not my fault if you cant fit your ships correctly.
Verx Interis Amarr Aurora Security The Cyrene Initiative	Posted - 2008.01.26 03:35:00 - [46] Mega ------(20km)------- Raven Both at full health. Raven starts shooting, Mega starts MWDing in. (35-40 seconds later) Mega (somewhat in armor) --(3km)-- Raven (Shields down a bit from drones) Fast forward a bit.... Capsule --(3km)-- Raven (somewhere in shield, depends on the Ravens tank) Now.. In your original post.. You say that you have to sacrifice part of your tank to get in range in time to kill something? Well.. lets see... 30km is the LONGEST range of any battleship close-range weapon. Any other battleship will have to go into your range to do damage. I find that I don't always need a MWD on Amarr ships because the person I'm fighting willingly comes up close just so that he can hit me. -----sig-starts-here------ Witty stuff goes here
Janu Hull Caldari Terra Incognita Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2008.01.26 03:45:00 - [47] Originally by: testtest123123 So why exactly did CCP so nerf the torps that you have to sacrifice part of your tank to get in range in time to kill something before your shields are totally gone along with your cap? PS: yes this kinda an alt, my main has MAXED missles skills. Because we REALLY needed a weapon system that made us something other than a laughingstock at gatecamps.

Why are you posting in a forum? No I don't care what people like you think, who feel the need to be smug and condesending behind a keyboard. Your little rating at the bottom of your reply, (1/10) really proves my point about you. I'm not sure how it makes a raven a viable PVP ship. Mind enlightening me on that? I've always used cruise for PVP becuase even before the nerf Torps were way to slow for anything other then a pos or station. You definatly don't want to be up in a mega's face firing torps while he's tearing you apart with blasters and drones. No question who's gonna win that fight. The new torp raven will beat a blasterthron 1v1 if the fight starts at 15-20km. And yes the torp raven needs a mwd, and XL boost on a raven=fail. hahaha when I see it I will belive it. I Don't Play games, I play Eve Online !!! Get Into the Game it makes it fun for all

Just because you have no clue how to pvp doesnt mean everyone else is as dumb as you. Go back to the millions of raven threads, people have already posted fittings for a useful torp raven, hint: you dont use shield boosters.

Dal And what tells you that ravens can't fit ecm drones in their bay? The point would be that ECM drones would hopefully decrease the damage sustained during the approach. Personally, I don't think it'd change much. You might get a jam off on the approach half the time, but ECM drones die fast to combat drones, and a set of Ogre II are a big chunk of the Mega's dps.

Siren Call Dragon Highlords	Posted - 2008.01.26 11:31:00 - [57] My t2 siege fitted core defense field x 3 raven killed a plated neutron mega with 3 x whatever the armor rig amount things are...whilst tanking the mega and an astarte, and before the mega cud jump after deaggro. What are you moaning about if torps can do this?

You definatly don't want to be up in a mega's face firing torps while he's tearing you apart with blasters and drones. No question who's gonna win that fight. Heres a cookie cutter setup that tanks like a beast and pwns hard at close range. 6 Siege 2 med nuet 1 heavy cap injector 1 xl booster 3 hardners and 1 warp dis or drop the warp dis for 4 hardners with ample tackling support. 3 bcs II 1 dc II 1 pds 3 resist rigs 5 ecm med drones and 5 light war II Have fun. Try a buffer tank, will need a gang as support but most would argue you should use Ravens mostly in gangs anyway. This has served me well: 6 siege IIs (faction ammo), 1x lg neut (to help chase off nano ships) 2x LSE II, MWD, TP, 2x Invuls IIs 3x BCU IIs, 1x PDU II, 1x DC II 3x extender rigs Get a few of these in a gang as gank and your TPs should stack on the called primaries making your torp Ravens even more effective against all ship sizes. As far as I can tell, this setup has close to the effective HP, speed and DPS of a Plated Mega, plus it can hit up to 30km instead of 2.5km. It's a whole lot better than the old PVP Ravens were in any case. "You can't reason someone out of a belief they haven't reasoned themselves into" - Prometheus
MOS DEF 0utbreak	Posted - 2008.01.26 11:58:00 - [59] Boosting caldari's PVP ability making one of their BS a great damagedealer is a nerf? Making caldaris close range weapon close range just like the other races close range weapons is bad? Yeah your're right. You have every reasy to whine!
Ogul Caldari ZiTek Deepspace Explorations Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2008.01.26 12:02:00 - [60] Originally by: Verx Interis Well.. lets see... 30km is the LONGEST range of any battleship close-range weapon. How about the 45km (optimal) of mega pulses with scorch that do the same damage as gamma crystals? --- This is a war declaration, issued from your alt corp. It is used to gank people in high sec.
