Herateis	Posted - 2008.08.15 03:33:00 - [1] but Assault frigates get slightly more damage, defense, and less speed?
Artemis Rose Odd End of the Universe	Posted - 2008.08.15 03:36:00 - [2] I'd say certain ships (Hawk and Harpy) have much improved tanks and damage output (respectively) than their t1 counterparts. __________________________________________________ Currently Playing: Trolls from Outer Space Current Equipment: VISAcard chain mail, +2 Amulet of Epic Whine.

techzer0 Minmatar Mafia	Posted - 2008.08.15 03:39:00 - [3] My harpy does more DPS than my Onyx... meh? ------------ CCP > Let's play the nerf a race game! Next up minmatar!
Ruze Amarr No Applicable Corporation	Posted - 2008.08.15 03:47:00 - [4] Because the Heavy Assault Ship seems to be both interceptor AND assault ship, for some reason. You can't blame the players for using them as such. If there was an interceptor variant of the cruiser? Maybe some type of 'Light Assault Cruiser', with better DPS and much greater speed than the T1 counterpart ... But, what we end up is one ship class meant to 'do it all', so to speak. And now being nerfed because players were using it too much. Again, can't blame the players so much. Quote: If you like playing EvE, but don't like to PvP ... Maybe it's time you recognize that you don't really like to play EvE.

Ever flown a stabber or Vaga? they are pretty "light" I hardly call 3-5km/s fast... i just call the people not fitting MWDs that can't catch them "not fast enough" ------------ CCP > Let's play the nerf a race game! Next up minmatar!
Ruze Amarr No Applicable Corporation	Posted - 2008.08.15 03:59:00 - [6] It's really the resistances, over pure armor. I personally feel that speed tanking should be a valid option. The Vaga is definitely suited for it. But when you add those same resistances with it, eh ... Course, I'm not sure why each race has to have each class of ship, you know? What would be wrong with Minmatar having two light assault cruisers, while Amarr have two heavy, and Caldari and Gallente one of each, or whatnot? Bah, doesn't matter, and not really important to the ops post ;?j Quote: If you like playing EvE, but don't like to PvP ... Maybe it's time you recognize that you don't really like to play EvE.
Surfin's PlunderBunny Minmatar Holy Church Of Garmonism	Posted - 2008.08.15 04:15:00 - [7] Because Ironically "heavy" carries a lot of weight! You're not afraid of the dark, are you?
Kraleak Interstellar eXodus R0ADKILL	Posted - 2008.08.15 04:37:00 - [8] Originally by: Surfin's PlunderBunny Because Ironically "heavy" carries a lot of weight! Because the Heavy in Heavy Assault Cruisers isn't a prefix at all and inclines that it should be heavy, and not a 'Heavy Assault' Cruiser. If it was meant to be heavy, it would be 'Assault' Heavy Cruiser or some such random. Quote: Originally by: CCP Prism X devs are tasty treats Originally by: Chribba FIVE HUNDRED BILLION ISK!

Ruze Amarr No Applicable Corporation	Posted - 2008.08.15 04:40:00 - [9] Well, to get technical, it's 'Heavy Assault Ship', while the frigate is 'Assault Ship'. So the heavy could just mean 'larger than a frigate'. Quote: If you like playing EvE, but don't like to PvP ... Maybe it's time you recognize that you don't really like to play EvE.
Saietor Blackgreen The First Foundation SOLAR FLEET	Posted - 2008.08.15 05:25:00 - [10] It is assault that is heavy, not the cruiser in that "Heavy Assault Cruiser" name. --- Redesign local/scanner feature - make the place huge, dark and scary again!
Chainsaw Plankton IDLE GUNS IDLE EMPIRE	Posted - 2008.08.15 05:27:00 - [11] Who needs a hac when you can fly a plate rupture
Blastil	Posted - 2008.08.15 05:27:00 - [12] depends on the HAC. Deimos gets ridiculous bonuses to DPS but less to speed and defense.
Prof Patpending Warp badgers with guns	Posted - 2008.08.15 06:16:00 - [13] Yeah this really bothers me. Why does a ship that costs about 10 times as much as the ship its based on have better speed/defences/firepower. Its a mystery.
Jim Raynor Caldari Shinra	Posted - 2008.08.15 06:30:00 - [14] I dunno it's kinda messed up to me that assault ships are slower than heavy assault ships. ------ I'll make a sig later.
techzer0 Minmatar Mafia	Posted - 2008.08.15 06:32:00 - [15] Originally by: Chainsaw Plankton Who needs a hac when you can fly a plate rupture You can't even fly one! (or can you now?) ------------ CCP > Let's play the nerf a race game! Next up minmatar!

Why does a ship that costs about 10 times as much as the ship its based on have better speed/defences/firepower. Its a mystery. That is so confusing and makes no sense at all, I mean what... WHY WOULD THE DEVS MAKE IT SOOOO HARD TO UNDERSTAND!?!?!? Can CCP please explain why? ------------ CCP > Let's play the nerf a race game! Next up minmatar!
Chainsaw Plankton IDLE GUNS IDLE EMPIRE	Posted - 2008.08.15 07:16:00 - [17] Originally by: techzer0 Originally by: Chainsaw Plankton Who needs a hac when you can fly a plate rupture You can't even fly one! (or can you now?) sadly no, working on all gunnery skills to 5, sentry drone op 5, cybernetics 5, that kinda stuff, after that its minmatar time
Joss Sparq Caldari ANZAC ALLIANCE Southern Cross Alliance	Posted - 2008.08.15 07:19:00 - [18] It ain't heavy, it's my crooooo-ser!
Synapse Archae Amarr Demonic Retribution Un-Natural Selection	Posted - 2008.08.15 07:26:00 - [19] Because AFs are FUBAR and have no role. Originally by: CCP Garthagk While these forums may not give you everything that you want, they will usually let you post.
Tippia Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2008.08.15 07:45:00 - [20] …and does this still hold true after the 40% weight drops poposed for AFs in the patch?
Chainsaw Plankton IDLE GUNS IDLE EMPIRE	Posted - 2008.08.15 07:53:00 - [21] Originally by: Synapse Archae Because AFs are FUBAR and have no role. pretty much well said. t1 cruiser is pretty much cheaper and does the same job, (and is slightly slower) well I suppose af can hit intys, but after the speed nerf **** it, cruisers can use warrior IIs
