You know as well as I do that railboats have no need to tackle. :)

The Vulture for example. Fit it with an active tank, 1-2 tracking comps, 3 damage mods and you have a decent PvE ship that can effectively solo lvl 4's. It hits with antimatter at about 35k.

- Bonus for hybrid damage but with only 5 hardpoints you need to fit damagemods to get even half decent damage. This you can't do without giving up your tank...
The fact that this is an issue for you amuses me, all the Caldari railboats have been like this for about 4 years.
That's an interesting opinion, as Caldari railboats can stuff their lowslots with damage mods and keep all their midslots for shield tanking.
And can't tackle......
Caldari Railboats need to tackle?

All of the Caldari railboats can do this. The Moa, the Ferox, the Eagle, and the Vulture can all fit three magstabs, which is the msot effective number any ship should fit. Of course they do less damage, but they make up for it with MOAR TANK!
Please tell me you're not trying to complain that Caldari are underpowered.

Yeah... numerically, fleets are all about DPS vs EHP. Glad there's more to Eve than the numbers.

Hm, the Ferox, Moa, and Eagle come to mind. IIRC, they may need to stuff the lows with MFS's and RCU's though. :-/

I would like to see bandwith mods released to the market. So Eos pilots can decide if they want to abandon slots for more heavy drones.
In fact i thought the introduction of bandwith was made for that.

The ship is destroyed. It really is simply useless. Instead of worrying about it, just skip it, train up for an entirely new race and move on.
Heck, if you can already fly an Eos, all you need to do is just train up Cruiser 5 in any of the other three races and you have instant access to their CS and FCS. That's only 30 days or so max of training, which if you're already max skilled for an Eos is nothing to you.

I know, and the fact is that i'm not slightly worried about changing race and all. Thing is, I prefer to look at EVE ignoring (as much as possible) it's technical facts, i'm not a PVPer and coulnd't care less if it's got 1 more dps than the almighty ship of doom and pwnd everyone in the same region by the touch of a button. I just fell in love with the ship, and like to explore around complexes in a shinny EOS. But I believe it could at least be as good as the Ishtar dronewise, after all, it's a creodron ship, and both Ishtar and Domi make the EOS hide in shame when talking about drones.
Maybe I'm not using the EOS for it's proper function as a link platform, but heck, who doesn't use ships out of it's function? I wonder who, besides new players (who don't have skills for better ships yet), use destys as frigate hunting platforms instead of salvage vessels.
As said also, I look forward too for tech 2 Myrms, but this ship still can't be beat on style ;)

I agree. What's the point of the +dronebay space when you can only have 75m3 out at a time ?

That is exactly the point. Your post boggles my mind in ways that I cannot proerly formulate a response.

The problem really is that it shouldn't be a drone boat at all. It should be a de-clawed astarte.
5 turret HP Non-neutron friendly PG 50m3 drone bay and bandwidth
BC Bonus: Damage, Rep boost CS Bonus: Fall-off or damage, Gang bonus.
Might be too similar to the Vulture, but that's what it should look like IMO.

I do indeed want the bandwidth to be what it was. I would love to have the drones back but i do agree it was a bit too over powered.
Id say if 2 turrets got yanked would be ok. There certainly arnt enough drone ships ingame.

Only thing the EOS could really use is changing the drone bay size bonus. Just give it the static drone bay size it has at max skill, then give it a bonus to help with tanking or something.
More DPS it does not need.
Originally by: Meridius Dex I could actually fit a Thorax WITH LASERS and get better DPS, better speed, better tank and - wait for it - better cap stability

- Bonus for drone bay size while its baysize is the least of its problems.
Unlike the Claymore which doesn't get any damage bonus at all from its secondary weapons

Hmmm, again kindof like the Claymore which has a bonus to projectiles but can only fit 5 guns. Guess that makes sense since they are both FLEET command ships.

Indeed, the bonuses of the Eos are all over the place. Split bonuses are bad.

No, very unlike the Claymore as the Claymore lets you fit 3 gyrostabs in the lows without compromising your tank.
Two gunnery bonuses and a shield bonus like both the Vulture and the Claymore have is actually rather nice. So I now fly a Vulture and hopefully a Claymore soon too.

I'm failing to see how comparing the best fleet command ship to the one covered in **** is beneficial? claymore is the best of the fleet command ships combining damage and tank very effectivly. Not to mention if you really wish makes nano ships go **** all speed where as the eos makes ecm better? just happy i trained cs/fleet cs total waste of time... armageddon and mega out perform all cs's ten fold. at least with 125mbit of drones the eos can help keep the ewar ships (caldari wich need mid slots for tank and ewar ><) alive a little bit longer with shield drones. but hey 5 turrets 1 dmg bonus 5 heavy drones without bonus that would be overpowered... not like 5 turrets with damage bonusES and space for 3 missile launchers ntm same amount of drone use a Drone Boat can use...
