My thoughts,
Lets look at what CCP is really doing:
Here's a list of next to worthless ships for pvp atm based on design and nerfs.
AF's - always have been always will be.
Gallente recons/celestis - Until they fix the damp nerf
Pilgrim - nos nerf
Eos - it just got ****ed nuff said.
Astarte - only good for bonuses
Myrmidon - 5 MEDIUM drones? how do I kill even another bc with that pitiful dps?
Drake - Tank nerf, and it's caldari.
All teir 1 BC - they're just bad.
Black ops - face it, nobody flys them
Destroyers - paper thin and slow
Sentinel - nos nerf killed this before it was a twinkle in daddy ccp's eyes
Keres - mini arazu/lach but paper thin and hit by damp nerf before it was ever designed.
Crusader - only two midslots :/
Raptor - really bad dps/surviability
Claw - same as crusader, Aris used to fit in this category, now just has really bad dps
heritic - like t1 destroyers paper thin and slow
flycatcher - same as a heritic
Eris - worst interdictor available leaving the sabre as the only viable alternitive.
Oneiros - Train for a guradian.
Sacrilege - another, used to be good ship
Eagle - sniping does ok, but paper thin, non-nanoable
Deimos - good dps but you have to be ridiculously close, weak tank
Munion - like deimos, popps easily.
Covert ops/industry based - not meant for pvp
So this leaves as viable options for sucessful pvp:
Battleships
Marauders (hella expensive tho)
Hurricane and Prophecy to an extent
Capitals
Ammar commands (insane tanks low dps)
Caldari Commands (mostly for gang bonus)
Minmatar Commands (speed bonus wee!)
Kitsune jammer bonus is good
Zealot (nano)
Cerb (nano)
Ishtar (nano)
Vaga (nano)
Heavy interdictors
malediction
crow
taranis/ares
stiletto
Sabre
Guardian (gang work only)
Basilisk (gang work only)
Scimitar (gang work only)
Falcon/rook (jammers yay :))
With this nerf they limit the sensable ship selection for solo/small gang down to:
Battleships
2 BC
A few commands
Jammers (kitsune/falcon/rook)
The Curse.
Logistics
Interceptors to temporary tackle and gtfo.
So start selling your Domi webs, Polycarbs, Faction Mwd's and speed mods while you can still get reasonable isk for them.
Load up on jammers and jamming ships, Curses and popular BS because that's all people are going to fly after this patch.
In an effort to shut the nano crybabys up CCP is making this game a heavy weight, stand in a ring and Beat the other guy till he breaks sensless, no skill beyond characture SP slug fest.
It's going to be BS and Jammers online. A group of hacs won't be able to go toe to toe with a bs gang and survive anymore because at = or less DPS the greater BS tanks will win.
Flame away, tell me why your ship up there is actually 1337 and your the pwnzor and how I fail. Fact is ccp has done nothing but take away, take away and take away besides add rediculous and overly expensive options.
