I think this should become our new mantra for the direction CCP is going with this game.
I am sure you could ask a 3 month old empire carebear that has only begun to grasp the finer details of EVE. And he or she could come up with a list as long as their arms of bugs and other crap that your attention could be directed towards. So for gods sake leave the ship tweaking alone.
Why dont you guys fix the map or something useful.
Think about it. A well fit deimos with decent hac and gunnery skills will knock the crap out of almost anything, except for maybe a crazy passive tanked broadsword (think about that for a minute). Engaging anything is always going to be a gamble but that is the way it's supposed to be. Adding this stupid rep bonus and removing the lows pretty much forces you to make this a more tank less gank ship, and if that is the case why not fly a brutix or an astarte. That what we have those ships for. Quit homginizing all my ships!! PLEASE!!!
Im trained solely to fly Gallentee ships and every little tweak you guys have made in the past few months has made my choices of ships shrink every time.
I swear the next thing to happen is that you are going to remove the drone bay from my velator, and that will be the last straw.

To be honest, yes I probably am overreacting.
But a feeling of being persecuted just for picking Gallente is beginning to prevail.
After all - the Deimos was borked for SO long and I flew it regardless - it is the ship I enjoy flying the most and was only recently made what I'd consider very well balanced thanks to its increased speed, agility and powergrid.
CCP though now seem to suggest the Highest DPS fit of Neutrons and Mag Stabs is imbalanced - They seem to conveniently forget you're flying this paper thin DPS beast probably to within 3km of the enemy which means you'll be webbed, scrammed and very vulnerable to NOS/Neuts - FULLY COMMITTED TO KILL OR BEING KILLED.
It is a risk Gallente HAC pilots accept and realise only too well, which is why you probably see a hell of a lot more nano-ishtars or people training Vagabonds than you get Deimos roaming round. People are not complaining about the current Deimos, so why change what is not broken?
If I wanted that fit I'd buy a Vigilant which CCP are conveniently forgetting about (again) like they did when they originally boosted the Deimos.
It is less of a reason to fly this ship than a Brutix.
So - overreacting? maybe, but not without good cause. Reacting to more unnecessary and negative changes from CCP to their good game.
QFT!!!

I didnt claim that the change was good. But Im sure ccp is trying to BOOST it and not NERF it. Deimos needs a little tweak, too many ppl flying ishtars.
More people are flying ishtars because they are the more viable nano ship of the two, and there is nothing CCP can do (outside of making blasters viable outside of webrange) to change that.

If CCP don't feel that the Deimos can currently stand up to the Sacriledge in close combat and the upcoming Zealot dps buff then a buff of sorts is warranted for the Deimos.
No its not. Put ecm-drones in deimos bay and youll be step-dancing all over sacrilege and zealot. Deimos doesnt need to be the next overpowered gallente pimp mobile.
Well you aren't a dev, they believe it needs some help in fighting the new breed of close combat HACs, the ship shouldn't need to rely on ECM drones which are currently overpowered in order to win fights.
Hence the ship is being augmented to improve it, which is currently the tanking buff.
LOL, the deimos does not need to compete with other close combat hacs, the deimos is the only close combat hac there is.

slight derail:
I don't understand where all this plate talk is coming from, when you plate deimos you are losing all your speed and agility and in a sense creating a half-*ssed brutix.
I have always run mine with a repper and it has done just fine.
anyways, if there is a change that can be made to the deimos, either add a small bit of CPU to make that 6th slot usable or just remove it completely.
OR BETTER YET JUST LEAVE IT ALONE
