Blasters are not as broken as people make out but do need work on them. Rails are something even I don't use. |

Im mad about nano blaster hyperion and mega to tell the truth. There is just something about them that just makes them so much fun. |

Been going out in gangs of 5 to 10 in them lately. Bugger all was found to kill. I keep trying to get more FCs to let me bring them but they hold the view a BS cant keep up with BC
However I have corrupted another player who now flys a triple nano mega

Which is why I am giggling at the thought of giving gal hulls more speed |

I agree, its daft, looks comical on a KM and EFT screams just no.
But my god it is so much fun to fly and at the end of the day, if it works and you're having fun why not?
When I do take it out on "nano hac roams" someone will always pipe up with "erm, why is that mega here?". People will then mutter about it but when they hear its me the FC will just say something along the lines of "No battleships, only baltec is to be in one, he does magic". I then become the fleets flagship and fun is had with much trolling about the guys who are slower than me and everyone compeating over who can out damage the mega. I normaly win if I can lock the target
Also yes shes the same fit. |

Nope, they don-¦t need that. Lasers have no ammo and no reload, projectiles have no cap and all damage types, hybrids have no reason to exist. So replace them with lasers or projectiles.
As a massive fan of blasterboats I have to say you're idea stinks. Even though Cambarus and I dissagrees with massivly on my toys at least he is trying to come up with ways to make my chosen weapon type better. |

Even though Cambarus and I dissagrees with massivly on my toys at least he is trying to come up with ways to make my chosen weapon type better. Fine, but then you need to come up with a buff that makes hybrids actually a reasonable choice. And this means not only you need to consider the damage, but you need also a specific characteristic for hybrids that is desirable and only available for them. Like the fact that lasers doesn-¦t need ammo and projectiles doesn-¦t need cap. Because if it-¦s just about dealing damage, well, that-¦s pretty much already covered by the other weapon systems. And this in all variations (high dps, high alpha, variable damage types etc.). You need something that sets hybrids apart from the other weapon systems.
High tracking and face melting damage other weapons cannot manage with the drawback of much reduced range. Personally I think gal ships should be shield tankers but the abundence of lows means I can overcome the issue of speed while keeping omgnottheface damage.
Biggest issue with blasters many face is tracking at very close range. This might be overcome by computer magic. CCP could make the guns track targets better the closer they get so in effect, blasters would get the same tracking no matter the range. |

Ok, so for blasters you want to go for extreme damage. Fine but what about rails?
Also, with the understanding ccp has demonstrated in balancing matters, we are probably ending up with a range buff for hybrids, in exchange for even less damage.
Don't use them so not much point on commenting on rails. Last I saw of them in pvp was when sniper BS were usefull. They did the job well but tactics have changed so like cruise missiles and tachyons they are not used in fleets these days. |
