I've just heard in game that Raven is to lose 100 cpu and 1000 grid power.
Is this true? Are there to be any changes to the Raven Battleship?
i know of the missile changes and how that will effect the Raven.

no, the raven will GET 100 more CPU (YAY!) and loose 500 pg (Boo!)

It actually is a problem, because you must use Siege launchers with 1750 powergrid reqs then if you want to use Cruise Missiles or Torps. You'll be forced to pump your lowslots full of RCUs. Still, there's hope, as these changes are still in balancing.

The hope lies in metamodded Siege Launchers, Cruise Launchers and X-L Boosters that lower PG requirements instead of CPU requirements. Perhaps an even greater hope lies in a PG reducing skill similiar to Weapon Upgrades.

YEP, but at least, if my proposed metamod changes are adopted then the best CPU metamods will become the best PG metamods :o (i.e clarity ward will use lowest PG and so will Malkuths)

They can only shoot Cruise Missles, nothing else (no torpedos). They also have a base rof of 30 seconds making them useless as a primary weapon system.

It was my understanding that ships werenŠt supposed to being able to equip all the largest guns without making some very big sacrifices. I donŠt know if other ships can do it easily as I donŠt know much about battleships (maybe I should get the hell out of this thread then ).

Yes, and I am not adverse to this idea. As it currently stands, however, the Raven pilots don't have any real options. They HAVE to fit 6 Siege Launchers to have a viable offense and this leaves them without enough PG to fit an MWD or a Cap Injector or 2 of even the worst types of battleship turrets.
Turret ships can at least probably fit the cruiser launchers as a secondary weapon system after fitting their best turrets, but Raven pilots cannot even fit 2nd echelon BS turrets.
As it stands now a Raven pilot's best option is to try to fit 2 250mm Prototype Railguns ;/. In a certain sense this mirrors the setup of a Tempest or a typhoon which relied on Cruiser class missle launchers. Those launchers, however, were doing BS calibur damage while the 250mm prototype rail guns are doing crappy damage. Therefore the Raven pilot, who cannot even fit utility modules like shield transfers or energy neutrailizers, is really hamstrung.

While i agree that meta siege launchers that reduce grid is an excellent idea, if the meta shield boosters reduced grid rather than cpu the tempest would be really hard done by with this as it will be strapped for cpu after the changes anyway...

Perhaps this is completely unfounded, but sometimes it really seems that a lot of the game balancing work is based on the feedback of people who get on Chaos, sit at some arbitrary range, and spam each other until one person dies.
There seems to be very little consideration for fleet roles, likely scenarios for actual PvP combat on TQ server, etc.

To me, not only is it destroying the variety in the game, but in that way it is also destroying the possibility for any sort of RP or tactical cleverness or anything else that has always had the potential to elevate Eve above simple die-rolling wish fulfillment.

I am aware of that. The minmatar represent a balancing problem in this respect.
I think, however, that if the Tempest, Dominix and both Caldari BSs were given larger CPU increases and the X-L boosters were increased in CPU then this could be balanced out.
The real issue is that the tempest can theoretically employ both types of tanking. I really have no idea how to balance for that scenario without making the tempest an incredible ship.

The ships will still be different. The difference, however, is largely going to be centered around range, speed and support capabilities. As it stands now this is already the case but certain ships just are not as useful as others in their given area of expertise. For this reason balancing is required so that everyone can fulfill the role they are meant to with equal effectiveness.

Edited by: Bared Bel'Medar on 19/05/2004 18:53:03 I dont see the problem... really I dont. A good Raven set up will REQUIRE a pair of anti frig guns once shiva comes... the dual 180mm autocannon works wonders against cruisers and frigs, so I highly recommend them.
*EDIT* And I do use caldari ships and I do use Weapon Upgrades alot, in fact, its the skill I consider the most important.

Can you say DUH? See, I'm tring to be ready for shiva, with the upcomming changes, and my moderate skills, the Dual 180mm has the appropriate range and damage required to combat frigs. Its got good refire and good tracking, making it so that with drones and a pair of guns I can avoid the frigate gankings while in transit.

Edited by: Zu Lu on 19/05/2004 19:28:20 Yes the tempest will still be able to use armor defence in a close range set up only, using 6 duel 425mm ac and 2 siege, cpu will not be tight in that set up but grid will but it's easily doable.
I do think that it appears too harsh on the raven in that close range set ups involving mwd and heavy cap booster are gonna be (without doing the calcaulations) very hard or impossible wheraes all the other ships will still be able to easily fit for either long or short range combat. The dominix may suffer the same fate as it stands...

In what universe are you living?
The Raven's primary weapon has been useless at range since release. Raven's aren't the best shield tanks out there and don't pack that much fire power. All Raven's have at the moment is a nice balance of offense and defense for SHORT RANGE only. If you seriously think they are overpowered as it stands now, then you are living in a land of self-delusion.

the part that gets me though, is that the Raven needed the CPU boost badly, Seige launchers and 425 rails are the most CPU intensive weapons in the game 80/70... but with the PG nerf to the raven and the PG need boost to Seige launchers, a Raven will need 16k PG for 6 seige launchers and 2 425mm rails... the problem is the most a Raven can get is 11875 with engering V, Leaving me 4,125 grid short for weapons alone, not counting sheild tanking gear, or heaven forbid armour tanking.

Yes.
We got our CPU issue taken away from us and got handed an even more cumbersome powergrid issue. We have no skills and no improved mods at our disposal to deal with this issue. This means that whereas before we had 3 options, we now only have 1.

hmmm So i spend weeks/months skilling electronics V, weapon upgrades V and the rest of the CPU saving ones so i can fit a fairly good raven. Then they come out with this change - Its a complete reversal of the constraints on a raven!?! AND there is no skill to reduce PG requirements. So, in short, i hate it :P
-as for the guy who says you need frigate sized guns...I've not tried this on chaos, but on TQ heavy nosferatu/neutralisers work just fine against frigates

ALL Tier 2 battle ships (Especcially with the coming "balancing") can fit 8 Battleship Weapons. Apoc Tempest and Mega can all fit 6 Primary Turrets and 2 Seige, with very little sacrafice, I can squeeze on to my Raven 6 Seige and 2 425s just at the moment, with no cpu spare for mwd etc. After the balancing, Apoc Mega and Temp will be able to fit 6 (8 or 7 if in apoc/mega respectively) of the Race Choice weps, whilst the Raven is going to struggle to fit 6 Seige and 2 Large BS weps (425 Tach or 1400)
I would rather CCP left it as it is, and just fixed missiles. After this patch, if the changes stay as they are, Raven pilots, will be trounced in any pvp (except maybe very large Fleet Battles) encounter they find themselves in.
As for those saying "the Raven pilots have had it easy for so long, look at them whine now", you do not know what your talking about, go back to noob land and stfu.
Ilove my raven, but I will jump ship to an Apoc if this patch stays as it is. I hope CCP liosten, and address this issue, the pg nerf on Siege is ridiculous.

Did I mind the low CPU on my Raven (Nevermore)? no not really I got around it.
Do I like what is happing to Nevermore's CPU after this change? hell yes! it'll free up three low slots for me.
Did I struggle to fit 6 seige launchers, 2 425mm rails, large sheild boost, sheild amp, and three sheild harderns on her, with her current 600 base CPU and 10k base PG? YES and I made it all work.
Am I going to take Nevermore out of the cage after this Raven 'adjustments' nope, she is going to sit in her cage, well I get my skills in place for a Megathorn or Apoc.

Change the mid slots to an MWD, Scram, Web, Cap Injector High slots to Ion Blasters. Low slots to armor tanking config.
You will do more damage and have a better defense than the setup you posted. The Megathron indeed will be unable to Shield Tank due to the CPU usage of hybrids, but Megathrons are already incredibly crappy shield tanks in PVP.

ok, I dont see the problem, sorry, but I dont. I am a PROUD caldari with level 5 Electronics, Engineering and Weapon Upgrades... I also fly cruisers and frigates, where weapon upgrades if even more prevalent. with a maximised shield tank (i.e. no non shield booster or amp stuff, like sensor jammers or boosters or a mwd)... Some people might call that newbish, I call that staying power. In shiva I think its going to be necessary to fit anti frig/cruiser guns, and the setup I have devised reflects that belief. also, look at the dual 250, really a great gun imho.

Wrong. Apparently you missed the fact that an Apoc can easily fit 8 425s a shield tanks setup and 7 CPRs and the only namaed module has to be an X-L clairty ward.

Originally by: Shimatu which means that all those raven pilots who spent weeks sqeazing every last drop of CPU from theyre skills and modules have wasted theyre time... glad i'm not a raven pilot 
Oh...you mean like training weapons upgrades to level 5? Yep, guilty. Oh well, at least its not ship specific.
On chaos its very hard to fit 6 siege and any large guns atm to raven

2x Heavy NOS = dead frigate :)
Originally by: Bared Bel'Medar Edited by: Bared Bel'Medar on 19/05/2004 18:53:03 I dont see the problem... really I dont. A good Raven set up will REQUIRE a pair of anti frig guns once shiva comes... the dual 180mm autocannon works wonders against cruisers and frigs, so I highly recommend them.
*EDIT* And I do use caldari ships and I do use Weapon Upgrades alot, in fact, its the skill I consider the most important.

8 x 425mm = 22000 PG and 600 CPU
1 x XL Booster = 500 PG and 100 CPU 2 x Hardners = 10 PG and 80 CPU 1 x Shield Amp = 2 PG and 50 CPU
7 x Cap Relays = 28 CPU Total Sum = 22512 PG and 858 CPU

Edited by: Hellek on 21/05/2004 14:01:42 with weapon upgrades 5 it still exceeds the 625 it has by a big amount, the apoc is so short on CPU that even lasers + armor reps can be hard to fit. (as we all know, its the BS with the smallest CPU).
(and no, I don't request a CPU boost but I think the CPU use of armor hardeners should get decreased by 10-20 or at least named hardeners should be introduced)

To make rails viable for Apocs? I thought we wanted them to use Lasers instead, Hellek. 
Now who let the troll out of his cage again ?
