Originally by: Sweet Pea The ship isn't overpowered. You need to fit rails to shoot anything larger then a small POS, unless you drop right on top of your target for blaster work. He's also station camping, letting him run that no tank setup safely. A 15 man carrier gank squad will waste him in less then 60 seconds since he has no tank. Bump him off station and a Blasterthron will own him. The drone bonus is from the day this ship was able to field 35 heavy drones (before the drone lag reduction). DPS wise this ship is very simalar to other dreads, and it fits with the gallente warfare theory (blasters and drones). You nerf the drones you just killed the ship for what its design purpose is.
I think it's well overpowered. It's a dread, yet it can kill anything from a frigate up to other caps. It's even more effective against small targets than some battelships (such as the torp raven), while being deadly to other caps compared to that battelships. Other dreads can't do that. It's the i-win button, the one-man-dread+support-boat. Remember the discussion about the "swiss army knife of eve" ? Devs wanted to nerf carriers because they had so many roles. The moros is exactly that. And this insane drone bonus is not only good for station undock games. If you for example have a cap ship fight and lose your support fleet to the enemies support fleet or to a Doomsday or to whatever, any dread is helpless against smaller ships / tacklers, while the moros can still easy kill the enemies support, while dealing the main damage on primary caps/pos. There shouldn't be such multiple role covering i-win buttons or swiss army knifes, expecially not if it's limited to only one race while all the others don't have such a tool.
Ofc. it's wrong to just take away that drone bonus without a replacement, instead it should be traded for a railgun damagebonus or something alike, that will bring it in line with other dreads.
How about reading the in game description of the moros, it's supposed to be the best of the dreads against smaller targets.
"Best of" doesn't mean it's all that great against smaller targets though. Drones only do so much, they're not hard to kill.
In this situation it's a very expensive ship with a very specialized setup and it good at one thing. What's the problem?
