Edited by: khosta on 31/07/2008 14:13:16 10% bodywork specular reflection (shinyness) per level.
It has been established in another thread that the only advantage large blasters have over torpedos is the good looks of the ships to which they are fitted.
As such, surely it would make sense to focus the ship bonus on the one advantage ships of this class have?
Perhaps a role bonus could also be given, that lowered these ships resistance to slowdown from spinning in the station, since together with the reflective ship bonus, would allow this class of ship to utterly excell in its intended role.
Discuss!

Torps are the least of blasters worries, you got pulses a long way before that!

Thats not what he meant. He says that blaster platform (mega, hype) has no advantage over torpedo platform (Raven) in terms of damage.
Apparently, he doesnt care that fitting Raven with MWD, Web, Scram and Cap Injector leaves it completely tankless. Though I admit, Raven cap-independent weapons make cap injector not as vital.
Not that I say MWD bonus should stay as is, but argument is flawed.

No, I do not suggest that blasters have no advantages over torps in terms of damage.
I suggest blasters have no advantages over torps at all!

It could be worse.
You could be flying minmatar.
Anyway, torp ships (err.. the raven) have a little bit less damage and have a much worse tank.. and they're not taking out cruisers without a handful of painters.

And torps wouldn't hit at all. You're better. Be happy. ----------------------- Why is it called common sense, when it's clearly very rare.

Abaddon melts Torp Raven, who in turn have a 50:50 win chance vs Blasterboat, who in turn melts Abaddon.

Abaddon melts Torp Raven, this means abaddon is better than blaster boats? 
In fact, torp ravens lack tank. Web, Scram, MWD. Thats a 3 slot Raven tank. 3 Slot tanks which is 1 booster 2 hardner.
It's more like 2 extenders, 1 hardener. You'll need a cap injector for a decent sized booster, and active tanks fail anyway. You can squeeze over 80k EHP on a torp fit.. with 1200+ DPS

And what happens when you get tackled by a HAC? Do 90 damage per missile while Blaster Boat can cream HAC's?
Compare apples with apples please, rather than EFT fit

You're misunderstanding. Both ships have their uses, I'm not a freakin' side. You guys on the forums are so black and white... you either agree with the OP or you're completely against it. I was just saying you're "tanking" your raven wrong.

The only place a torp raven 100% outclasses a blaster mega is in EFT.
Did all the ****y blasterboat pilots only train Gallente for the DPS number?  __________________________________________________
