So they have nerfed the locus range rigs for amarr on sisi. Sure fine, but when are they going to fix retribution. Once patch goes live the new AFs will be viable and amarr will be the only race that only has one viable solo AF while all other races will have two.
CCP, either remove the utility high to a mid or give it 5 turret hardpoints. Retribution has no where near the dps (compare to gallente AFs) to justify a SINGLE mid slot. It is flawed by design and you have to admit it and change it.
If you can fix minor broken stuff like locus rigs then fix this aswell while youre at it because you seem to be fixing/adjusting more then just speed related stuff in this patch.

Edited by: bldyannoyed on 22/10/2008 01:02:15 Don't tell me.
They've put the correct stacking penalty back on locus rigs?
Am i right?
So they havent actually nerfed Amarr, theyve just removed a ****ing stupid mechanic that allowed cruisers to hit 60km optimals with close range guns.
And also ****ed the Rokh over royally too if thats the case.
So whats the nerf Lyria? Is it actually an amarr nerf or have they changed ALL Locus rigs?

Its not so much a nerf as it wasnt boosted as much as the other af's. As it is, the retirbution is pretty sucky. After the patch it will be better than it is now, but still pretty suck relative to the other boosted AF's.
Edit: i guess you were talking about the locus rigs, in that case ignore the above.
And i agree with lyria. Everybody saying the retribution is built for dps is smoking synth-x weed. The ishkur pwns the crap out of retribution in terms of dps, utility, versatily, and soloness.
I would prefer chopping off a useless high and adding a mid as opposed to 5 turrets. i mean cmon....ONE MID SLOT!!!?!?!??!

Eh, /sign for Retri fix.
Also, boo hoo about your locus rigs. About time they fixed your absurdly broken rig.
Also, they should consider lowering the optimal bonus on the Apoc a little bit - the Apoc's optimal bonus is significantly more powerful than the Rokh's because it affects both long and short range weapons to the Rokh's only long range (blasters are more or less falloff based and thus optimal doesn't help as much).

What did I just say?! THe Apoc is totally overpowered. I mean come on you put the second best range bonus on the second best ranged turret and you clearly are displacing the best in both, the Rokh, for ranged combat. This cannot stand!!!
Edit- And range is most likely a function of the speed of the charge projected so it makes so much sense that Hybrid turrets have the most range because we know that "solid chunks of matter at hypersonic speed" > the speed of light in a vacuum.

Well, strictly speaking, the only problem with unstacking nerfed locus rigs was that most other weapon rigs were stacking nerfed. The best solution would have been to add falloff to TC/TE and unstacking nerf all the weapon rigs.

Possibly.
But the simple fact is that un-stacked Locus rigs made barmy as all **** nutter bastard setups viable for Hybrid and Laser based platforms. In the case of Hybrids it wasnt too insane, but lasers were ****ing nuts.
So I ask again, is it just Energy Locuse Rigs that have had their stats reduced or have they all been reduced or has a stacking penalty simply been introduced on all Locus Rigs?

Oh I know - I've been *****ing about laser locus rigs for over a year man. The fits that could be made using them were insane, 100km sentry tanking sniper apocs and such.

Yeah, it's all a Caldari buff. Rediculous. Who in their right mind would create anything other than a 3 charisma Falcon/Cerb/Eaagle/Raven/Drake/Crow/Rokh Achura at this point (if we aren't already there ). Noone will be able to get near them to do any damage.

This. The only valid rig is +% armor or +%shield. Anything else goes contrary to the "hit aprroach, F1-F8, AFK" gamedesign.

I do fly pulse amarr ships and have used locus rigs when possible, I don't really mind the nerf I guess, means game needs more tactics (inertia seems to be becoming way more important, the need to warp around on the actual field)..
But I totally agree with the retribution change.. CCP wants AFs to be the sustained tacklers (inty gets a point, AF can then get in a scramble with afterburner for sustained point), but seriously, if you want to make the whole AB+Scramble possible we do need 2 mids :)
All the stuff above does not necessarily reflect my corp, my alliance or even me.. Drone guide.. |

Retribution: Sure fix it by turning a low slot into a mid slot. Not the utility. You cant have 5 guns 2 damage mods and a full armor tank AND tackle on a frid dont be silly.
Locus Rigs: I see...
Falcons: Need a huge nerf to range. Give them a 10% rof (doube damage bonus) to their 3 launchers instead... I might start flying them then...

Gets my vote, about time the Retri was sorted out. Been flying it for a while and although it can outrun most close-range AFs and lay on the pain out of web-range (thanks to all the AB setups on Sisi and my friend Scorch), that one mid although unique is just a bit pointless I have to agree.
I like the spare hi-slot for putting in an offlined smarty for overheating but i'd rather lose that than a low-slot to give to the mids.

This.
However, having only Amarr have the option to boost their both long and short range gun optimals to insane ranges was broken and needed a fix, one way or another. Unstacking the weapon rigs altogether and adding falloff to TEs is a, on the whole, the more attractive option.
However, the Amarr trolls claim that falloff boosting TEs are OP... and locus rigs were not ( ), so whatever.

Hey :( I've been pushing for more falloff-modifying mods for a long time.
Unstacking all of the weapon rigs could be pretty silly though, given how cheap they are to create. If you can spend 5mil for 15% more damage, or 15mil for 15% more armor HP, which one of them are you going to take?
Maybe leave the range mods unstacked; leave the damage mods as stacking penalized - it's not like nobody uses them anyway, I see them on a surprising amount of fit. __________________________________

Only because the bug has been on the chopping block so long people were wondering whether or not they should train Zealot or whether or not it was going to get nerfed.
People that were thinking to train zealot just because of locus rigs are fail anyway. Locus on zealot only added flavor to it, it didnt make up the whole course. As said by many, they need to make many rigs viable to use and worth using. ----------------------------------------- [Video] Tempest of Change |

Originally by: Cpt Branko It's not bad, but I much prefer the Jaguar over the Wolf for anything except anti-AF combat really.
I was being sarcastic. You know that, right?
And yes, the Jaguar is much preferable. It's actually not such a bad vessel even as it is right now.

I think ccp mentioned something about looking at the 1 mids. It's prolly gonna be a mid instead of extra turret/dps addition. Who knows when it's going to happen though.

BTW, more amarr nerf. Javelin HAMs and rockets have a meaningless insignificant range benefit now. Utterly useless. So the Khanid ships have only one option now. Unlike guided missile users still having a short range higher damage option.

What does the retri have right now for highs? I'm at work so can't check. 4 turret and 1 missle/utility? I say leave it at that or change it to that. It'll at least be inline with the wolf then :)

oh the tears about stacking penalties applied like they should. wonderfull. the tears from the bears will be the same, when shield power relays will finally be adjusted as well. well if ccp wasnt bowing down to the nonpvp caldari missionrunners that is.  It's nothing personal. I just want your stuff, and more importantly the fun of the fight. |

Needs that 2nd mid, without it it's fairly worthless as it doesn't provide particularly good dps or anything else for that matter. With 2 mids you could do speed mod + scram which would make it effective. -=^=- "Someday the world will recognize the genius in my insanity." |

It really is fine with 1, 2 would be kinda nice but it works just fine as is.
Its basically a 20km bubble of death for any frigate, meaning those battleships and cruisers don't have to worry about small ships.
Get a teammate in a Malediction and go out hunting it works nicely, or pair up with another Ret. Occassus Republica <3 |

To the above question, it's 4 turret/1 utility, 1 mid, and 5 low. The wolf is 4 turret/1 missile, 2 mid, 4 low.
I'd like to see the Retribution pick up a second mid, and it doesn't seem imbalanced. The wolf can fit 5 weapons, the retribution can't. I'll continue to fly it with 1 mid, but I really would like to see it with a second mid. That or a very large damage increase, because I just don't think it got a fair trade-off. Thaddeus |

Personally? I see it as a non tackling bleeder punisher. Basically a heavy hitting caldari frigate. . . Only it uses lasers and tanks armor.
Really, the entire problem with the ship is it's single mid slot and that's ONLY a problem if you believe a ship MUST have BOTH an MWD/AB AND a warp disruptor. It's not entirely necessary in this case but it certainly harms the utility of the ship, given that it's almost certainly going to be in point range anyway if it wants to shoot something.

I want a 3rd mid on my Enyo. The last high is kinda useless. It would look better as a mid. Or a low.
Or who needs launcher slots on an Enyo. Give me another turret slot. I don't use launchers.
The above is 100% comparable to your OP.

No the above is a boost to a ship that has the slots to fit mods that are required to make it at all viable.
Giving the Retribution a mid slot is moving it from a lol ratter/plexer to a decent Assault frig (if there is such a thing). I mean seriously, warp into a belt and whatever you're chasing happens to be at 25k +, only option is to slowboat over to him or to watch him fly off in armor because you couldnt fit a point.
Even if you do have a target pointed and engaged anything with an AB/MWD will just run off because again you have no MWD or a web.
Yes I'm talking about solo and yes imo ships should atleast be capable of solo PVP. It's not like you're actually going to turn up to a real gang in one anyway.

The enyo has the slot layout the retribution should have. It doesn't have much benefit from the the extra high slot however not having 2 mids causes it to not be able to effectively tackle anything without giving up a speed mod(MWD/AB) which for a frigate is not really acceptable as the ships rely heavily on speed to survive against larger ships. The Enyo's 5/2/4 can do both, the retributions 5/1/5 cannot, nor does it have a better tank as it doesn't really have the fitting to do anything above a basic armor tank. -=^=- "Someday the world will recognize the genius in my insanity." |

problem with this though is that the dps aint that great either lol. Fair enough if the dps was nice enough, I woud get along fine without a 2nd midslot but when compared to other assault frigs its dps it aint superior and combined with its lack of utility = a mediocre ship best used for stealth ratting ...cruisers :p

made my day 
true a 2nd mid would be nice but is not needed. amarr ships are not rly known for their utility. they usually have a role in which they have to stay cause there is no room for somethink else. it is just a dps long range (from a frigate point of view) anti small stuff plattform and it does it well.
and people saying "but it should atleast be able to fight solo": 1. wake up, this is not a solo game and solo pvp is a myth 2. you can fight solo in it just cant hold the target close (not an issue, retri has range) or prevent them from warping, oh noes big deal, bring in a friend, problem solved.

I agree that it's limited, but limitation should equal specialization.
The Retribution does not DPS or Tank better than other assault ships with 2 Mids. That's the issue. So either slap on another MID, or increase the DPS to actually compensate for having one MID. Thaddeus |
