I am reading a lot of mixed opinions about the new 'speed nerf' so I thought I would just give my small little opinion about it.
Now before I start, I would have to state that I am minmatar myself and love flying ships such as the vagabond.
Saying I am not biased would be a lie
HOWEVER:
People seem to feel that a cruiser or even battleship shouldn't be able to keep up with a frigate.. why?
Because in REAL space, it doesn't matter how big your ship is. All that matters is the thrust/mass ratio.
To put it simple: a ship that is twice the size as another ship should be able to go JUST as fast if the engine is twice the size of that other smaller ship aswell.
This is talking VELOCITY by the way. There is no way in hell you can justify the fact that bigger ships go slower.
Now AGILITY however, that is a completely different subject. It WOULD make (some) sense to have bigger ships turn slower.
Wouldn't this be enough for you damn OMG MINMATAR NEEEDS SPEEDNERF ZOMGOMZGOMG people? Why can't you guys still let my phoon go faster than 1km/s in return for it having a horrible agility?
This would in my opinion be much more fair, and realistic aswell.
Regarding this new expansion however:
Haven't really seen anything I might be interrested in, that is, untill they release the actual specs on the ORCA.
Oh and also... TECH TWO BPOS ARE COMING BACK? RAWRRRRRRR YAY
When a ship outruns other players weapons by far, its considered broken IMO. And when your only counter to a vaga is either a Rapier/Huginn or another Vaga, it is even more broken.
Tbh, the only use for Battleships as it is now, is to carebear missions/ratting, or to act as mini-dreads for POS takedowns. That way, the only combat you are going to see in 0.0 forinstance, is nanoships, as they are the only ships that are able to shoot at the other nanoships.
I donŠt realy have a problem with nanoships, i just think that their speed have gone too far, and there are no viable counters to them. I didnŠt wanŠt a speednerf like the ones proposed, iŠd just like some more counters, like scripts for webs, or stuff like that.
