I`ll keep it simple:
Currently Cruisers are zipping around faster then Interceptors because its easy to eqip even two 100mn Afterburners on Cruisers. This leaves enough grid to fit small turrets or launchers which are superior to medium turrets in many aspects. The victim of such a smart but also lame tactic can not do much, missles are too slow, anticruiser-turrets dont track, and it feels like being cheated by some *****-733t, perhaps you know what i mean.
btw no i was NOT raped by this tactic, im just a bit dissappointed that this is not only the most unrealistic but also the most effective setup. All Medium Turrets are useless now, because frigate turrets rule and battleship turrets will be beefed up.
I also think that this is not the way eve should be played, zipping around at 25km/s being invulnerable and smashing equal but realistic fitted opponents with small weapons. Perhaps its just me, but i feel like being fooled when i fit 5 medium turrets on a maller and use 95% of my recources for weapons, and someone else just uses 5% for small turrets and outdamages me...
Many of you use this tactic, so i expect 99% flames, but you could prove me wrong by giving constructive critic or agreement.

Hmm. didn't think about that.
Moa once again, 10% range bonus to hybrid. So you can make your small compressed coil 150's hit at decent medium range with lvl 4 cruiser.
Not to mention more ammo storage, with a barage of heavy missles backing up the coils......
Going to play with moa set ups now.
thanks for the pointers perry

Okay, seriously though, I do disagree with nerfing it for a couple of reasons. First, yes cruiser guns suck, but IMO thats more an indication that they need to be beefed than to nerf a bunch of other stuff. Im a missle maniac myself, had to switch to a bbird when they took heavies off kestrel, and I was stunned at just how ineffective my guns are. My missles do waay more damage than my guns...clearly, guns need to be beefed to meet or even exceed the DoT of my scourge spam. Second, its a viable tactic, yes you can do it but you give up a lot of capability in the process. I much prefer that speed demons use a big AB than an MWD, as I dont think MWD was meant to be an AB on steroids. In fact, Id go so far as to say we need new AB sizes, in between the current ones to further encourage people to use those rather than just MWD it.

Yes, since the whole point of the mwd nerf was to make it not neccesary to have a mwd to survive. Now people are fitting the large afterburners to get insane speed with no drawbacks.

They already are "nerfed." They're less effective than MWDs, require 500grid each, require the training of a specialized skill to level 5 to bring their energy use within reason and they're only viable on cruisers... How much more nerfing do you want?

No. Frigates must have speed to live, and a MWD will now get you killed.
Should drones get fixed, and battleship-sized missiles be prevented from having any chance of hitting a frigate, then I would not oppose a change to eliminate upsized afterburners. Now they already eat massive grid for the ships that they are on. Most frigates cant even fit a single 10mn AB alone, much less other mods and weapons.
As a side note - buy a damn webber. If someone spends 2 midslots and 1000mw grid to outrun you, I dont think its unreasonable that the counter uses 2 midslots and 10 grid.

IMHO it's exploiting of the game mechanics.
Moving so fast in a cruiser at no expense is just plain bull****.
I am sure that the devs oversaw this while redesigning the MWD.
Then introduce an 'improved' MWD thats the same as a normal MWD, just sans the Sig Radius boost. Give it double the grid of a normal MWD, and all will be good.
Alternatively, make that the MWD II niche. I'd like to see tech2 stuff that was more than just 25% better in terms of numbers, but physically different.

wth... ?
No Way!
Sorry, but the powergrid expenses are more than enough of a tradeoff.
If you fit 2x 100MN ABs + small turrets on a cruiser you're going to get shredded by any cruiser/BS or even heavy frigate that had the brains to fit a webifier.
For two 100MN afterburners you sacrifice 1000MW of your powergrid and 2 med slots. Most of the fast cruiser don't even have that much PG to play with. Besides, that kind of setup would only be viable as a frigate killer, and only if the frig pilot was half asleep or not paying attention.

Of course it is not. Since nothing can hit you. But you can still utilize weapons. It is not a real drawback.
Try to do something like this with a double MWD.

There is no problem with 'Upsizing' imho, Large smart bombs on thorax's, Heavy launchers on tristans (thankgod for the torp nurf) 10mn abs on frigs & 100mn abs on cruiser. They are all just a gimick, you sacrifice HUGE amounts of cpu & grid, and i really dont think the bonus is anything to make a fuss about.
If you want a nurf, put forward relevant pionts, dont just make up stuff.

Perry, I am willing to put up a 10mil prize just for you, if you can beat me in any cruiser of your chioce, your cruiser with upsized mods, and me in a standard loadout for pvp.
im really confused about this statement
Quote:

yes a modal light Neutron on a gallente frig with bonus's + dmg mods will do over 200dmg wrecking hits, but you loose the ship dmg bonus for small weapons on cruisers, and to upsize cruisers mods most people use Reacter controls in the low slots.

i piliot a crow using named tech 2 10mn ab's or named 10mn's
i do this because i have the skills i trained for this, and because using a mwd on a caldari ship with its strength being its sheild hit points, plus cap penalty, plus sig radius penalty is just too much for me to bear, and even with a tech 2 10mn i still cant go as fast as a 1mn mwd
cruisers are humbled by using 100mn ab more than frigates are for using 10's since it appears to me aux power cores on frigates are designed to help you double your grid, wheras cruisers get stuck using small weapons and such so it seems a comprimise
i wouldnt be apposed to a neft on using multiple mwd or multiple oversized ab simply because its all but impossible to counter that setup unless you have that speed yourself and i find it painful when duel miced ravens overtake my single miced rifter or i have to warp away every time a duel drived rupture eventually catches up to my interceptor
for caldari the sheild penalty of mwd is excessive since we loose a hot of hitpoints compared to those with high amrour and structure as their increased hitpoints, which is one of the things that makes sheild tanking so hard compared to armour tanking as there is no penalty for that
so currently frigates are able to single overburn their drive systems with little expence when the skills are right, the same with cruisers, but cruiser double overburning their drives are being forced to reduce their armourments so i see no reason why cruisers cant sheild/armour boost and tank them or alternativley pop drones when not near a gate and kil them or not go hostile on them and simply jump the gate if theyre near one

I agree with this. However, only on the condition that frigates' base speeds increased by at least 50%.

You can survive very well now with tracking in a frigate without afterburners or microwarpdrives. Thus, you dont NEED extreme 2km/s speeds to live anymore. Fitting a 10mn afterburner gives you a MWD with no penalties, except for the grid usage, which is really nothing.

i;ve both founght in, and against overdriven cruisers
and the plain fact is, to fit that amount of overdriveing,
you sacrifice any hope of miunting any cruiser weapons at all..
lose the bonuses that make frigate weapons uber,
and sacrifice all your defence
if i was piloting a dual 100mn ab rupture, and i got webbed by more then 2 rifters, i would expect to die if i didn't run
hell..
ill break downthe setup for my combat rifter for you
high = 3 125mm AUTOCANNON, and a rocket launcher (maybe, depends on grid fo the launcher)
Mid = 1 10mn ab, 1 stasis webbifier
low = 1 micro aux powercore, 1 cap power relay
top speed.. just over 2 kps
top speed with a 1 mn mwd, 2.6 kps
free grid, 4
i use a micro aux, becuase without it, i can fit the 10 mn and 2 125mm autocannon
if even one webb hits me, i'm screwed

I do not see this "upsizing" to be an issue. All a 10MN or 100MN AB is, is another module with certain requirements, and if you can satisfy the grid and cpu requirememnts then go for it!
If upsizing should be nerfed, then what about downsizing?!?! "Sorry, you can't fit that medium hybrid on your BS, it was intended for use on a cruiser". How stupid would that be? But it's essentially the same thing. If upsizing ABs gives you an unfair speed advantage, then surely using smaller guns gives you an "unfair" advantage against smaller ships. Leave it how is is, the nerf bat needs a vacation.

I will tell you the ammount of months it takes to train for these setups: I trained over 3 months to be able to fly a double 100mw ab.
If CCP really wanted modules restricted to ship types, they should set limits to the modules use. In other words, restrict frigate modules to frigates and cruiser modules to cruisers and so on.
But then again you have to ask yourself if that is what ccp intended, since the latest patch with the large guns who are not able to hit frigates is forcing battleship pilots to use cruiser guns (THUS DOWNGRADE YOUR SHIP ABILITIES) on a battleship.
Remember it works both ways, these cruiser pilots Sacrifice months of training, all their powergrid and cpu to be fast instead of high damage dealers using SMALL guns. While people in battleships with rocketlauchers to fire defenders (which isnt a real battleship module) would get nerfed with such a fix too.
What people should start doing, is pulling their head out of their arses and consider for ONCE that finding these setups takes AGES to find and fit within the desire of DEVS for the community to use diffrent setups. Experimentation and beeing unique shouldnt be punished, what will we head for if people like the TS get their way? Industrials remove their highslots because they shouldnt be able to fight back and defend themselves? Caldari MK2 indies remove their ability to use EWAR?
Remove mining lasers from battleships aswell then, and from cruisers who have no specific bonusses for mining and from frigates too. Oh and remove using cargo expanders to on battleships, since they shouldnt be a armor plated indy.. And so on and so on.
I salute those who found out this setup, since it merely shows how great this game is: There are no stupid carebear limits.

Hey mate, I've been trying pretty hard now to figure out this setup where I can fit 2* 100mn AB's on this thorax here.
So first lets set something up.
Lets do a Vanilla flavour blasterrax(the setup that need the most speed).
5* Ions takes 750 PG
1* 100mn take 500 PG
Now my thorax with Engi 5 has only 875 base PG.
So just to fit theese 6 items I would have to tack on another 425 PG.
DONT NERF THE OVERSIZED AB'S THEY'RE NEEDED AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE BIG SACRIFICES TO USE THEM.

It seems to me that most of the people complaining have either never heard of Stasis Webifiers or are reluctant to alter their setup to use them.

Yes it should be nerfed hard for a few reasons:
* Only battleships do not have the option to go faster without increasing the sig radius. Its majorly discriminating against BS pilots like me who despise frigates and the whiners who want frigates to have a battleships durability for a fraction of the price.
* It makes the MWD nerf utterly pointless. They might as well go back to the old MWD if upsizing is allowed to continue.

THEY ARE OK, u ****ing noobs, isnted of whinning about it, figure out ways of fighting. your just friggin laaaazyyyy. by putting 10mnab of a frig u sacrifice a lot of powergride n a significant amount of speed. same goes to cruisers.

no more nerfing. stop it. stop complaining about something you don't like with the intentions of changing it. please. for the love of this game. stop the nerfing...
modules already have built in "nerfs". it's called fitting requirements. PG, CPU, and hi/mid/low slots. you show me a module that i can fit on my ship without using any PG, any CPU, and i don't have to use a hi/mid/low slot and then maybe we'll talk about nerfs...
fix bugs. add content. but quit nerfing.
there is a fine, but dissasterous line between a fart and a shart. i suggest you make sure which side you want to be on... |
