5/4/6... Can we make it 5/6/4 for the eagle as well? A 5/5/4 for the Moa? While we're at it, can we also move the harpy's and all the rest useless utility highslots to mids/lows?
At least 9/10 (10/10 with the nos nerf?) people who pvp would prefer to have mids or lows instead of utility highslots. I don't know why they're there if noone wants them, but they are there for most ships, so I'd say get over it and propose a different change.
If something like this happens to the deimos, I can guarrantee at least 3 forums (S&M -that's ships and modules you pervert, not the other kind of S&M- Game Developement and Features and Ideas) filling up with "Move the useless highslot from XXX ship to a mid/low slot".
Make no mistake, I am neither for nor against the deimos change. Whatever suits you. Or even some different change.
But this "make 6/3/6 to 5/4/6" proposal is a little, well, overpowered... Not to say unfair.
Exactly what I've been thinking since I've been following this thread. The Deimos isn't the only ship in game with a utility high slot than pilots would rather have as a tank/gank slot (look at the Caldari Hybrid ships for example).
If you move that to the mid slot, you would STILL have a ship that's tops in ganking - but now has a solid tank - where's the balance tradeoff?
I say keep it as a glass cannon. As for this proposed changes I don't have an opinion since I don't fly one myself. I know I'd be annoyed if I spent 2 months training for a ship and its tactical options were radically altered.
I'm probably talking out my ass here, but I'd see with this change a ship that uses a cap injector to run a small tank, AND perhaps a neut to kill their target's active tank faster? The role of this ship is to get in your face and beat on your tank with high DPS, a neut may help break an active tank even faster.
Just saying maybe tactics on this ship might change - but if you're asking to lose your utility slot to maintain your current gank and a superior tank you're asking for an unbalanced ship.
