Edited by: AstroPhobic on 07/08/2008 16:32:14 Edited by: AstroPhobic on 07/08/2008 16:28:37 You're a max skilled pilot. You have two choices for a small gang - a maelstrom or abaddon. You have ever fit in the world - except you only have t1 megapulse! Oh no!
Which would you choose?
... incoming still
[Abaddon, t1] Heat Sink II Heat Sink II Heat Sink II 1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I 1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II Damage Control II
100MN MicroWarpdrive II Warp Disruptor II ECCM - Radar II Heavy Capacitor Booster II, Cap Booster 800
Mega Pulse Laser I, Amarr Navy Multifrequency L Mega Pulse Laser I, Amarr Navy Multifrequency L Mega Pulse Laser I, Amarr Navy Multifrequency L Mega Pulse Laser I, Amarr Navy Multifrequency L Mega Pulse Laser I, Amarr Navy Multifrequency L Mega Pulse Laser I, Amarr Navy Multifrequency L Mega Pulse Laser I, Amarr Navy Multifrequency L Mega Pulse Laser I, Amarr Navy Multifrequency L
Trimark Armor Pump I Trimark Armor Pump I Trimark Armor Pump I
Ogre II x2 Hammerhead II x2 Hobgoblin II x1
Here's the abaddon fit. 904 DPS at 13km, enough cap to run the guns for a long, long time, and ECCM for anti-jam goodness. 138k EHP.
[Maelstrom, Brawler/gang] Damage Control II Gyrostabilizer II Gyrostabilizer II Gyrostabilizer II Co-Processor II
100MN MicroWarpdrive II Heavy Capacitor Booster II, Cap Booster 800 X-Large Shield Booster II Shield Boost Amplifier II Invulnerability Field II Invulnerability Field II
800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L
Core Defence Operational Solidifier I Core Defence Operational Solidifier I Core Defence Operational Solidifier I
Ogre II x4
Here's the maelstrom fit. No warp disruptor, but we get to ignore that because it's a shield tank. No ECCM. 1154 Reinforced/664 Sustained.
1058 DPS at 3km. 960 at 10km. 780 at 15km. Or... switch to barrage.
825 at 15km. 800 at 20km. 670 at 25km. 550 at 30km.
Seems about toe to toe with the abaddon.
904 DPS at 13km. 860 at 15km. Not much after that. Let's switch to another ammo.. too bad we don't have scorch

Astro is showing that the most basic T1 pulse lasers can match up and outperform T2 autocannons (in falloff).

Depends what else is in gang, if there are 2 guardians or several RR bs, go with that. If there are basilisks and ravens with shield transfer, go with that.
Oh, and train for t2 pulse!
If nobody has any remote reps... go for whichever is gankier.

Edited by: Lance Fighter on 07/08/2008 16:54:56 Edited by: Lance Fighter on 07/08/2008 16:52:51 My dps graph on eft shows that the malestorm does more dps than the t1 megapulse with max skills out to the megapulses optimal - at the megapulse optimal, the megapulse wins... but beyond that, the AC's win. This seems true for all crystals (edit, oops) edit2
The megapulse t2 wins no matter what really... more dps everywhere, then switch to scorch and you get far better range... barrage wins at about 70km in this case, but at that range you are doing like 20 dps.

I think it would become better balanced if we removed cap usage on lasers.

EFT doesn't account for hit quality.

Your right. So what? hit quality does NOT scale with falloff (ive gotten perfect hits at 100km with pulse lasers and MF... dont ask why i was shooting that far lol)

It does scale exactly with falloff. Perfect hits are 1% chance for 3x damage regardless of range.

Edited by: SuiJuris on 07/08/2008 17:02:25 comparision is unfair, Your giving the Mealstorm Tech II guns and only giving Abaddon the shittiest there is. I can see a pilot not having the option of using Tech 2 but atleast give him better then complete crap for guns. I would take the Abaddon hands down because it can be EASILY improved. Also no reloads. ***The tears of those who fail to adapt sustain me. |

Where do you get this from? I have been told in my travels that it doesnt scale with falloff... And if you say that it does, then provide me with something that will calculate it. (I dont know the values offhand to do it myself)

Lance he is right, Perfect hits are exactly 1% of your shots, if you are shooting at a range where less then 1% of your shots will be hits statistically all hits will be perfect. ***The tears of those who fail to adapt sustain me. |

Let's say there's no named or t2 megapulse left in eve, they were all destroyed/unseeded/abandoned/hidden from you.

Just for people who don't get it:
T2 projectiles on a Maelstrom is matched by T1 lasers on an Abaddon.
Basically showing that if he was to upgrade his Abaddon guns to T2, it totally outperforms the Maelstrom. In turn showing that Minmatar BS's are subpar because projectiles suck monkey balls.
Cheers AstroPhobic for giving us another example on how projectiles suck... ------------------------------------------------ Either pick a dry year when fighting wars or civilize the moronic races and have no wars at all! |

NP. I can do an artillery vs megabeam/tach if you'd like. You might knock yourself out from the amount of face-desk, though.

OMG. Maelstrom w/lazer beams = <3
To see that beautiful ship with pink laser beams shooting from it. Now if we could just the Hello Kitty custom skin, so that it looks like the kitten is shooting the laser beams...
