I do missions in a Dominix (drones got hit also right?) and managed to do one mission after patch. The outcome was that due to the patch i managed to finish the mission faster than i used too ( i was using target painter even before the patch). I am pretty sure that Raven pilots can modify their setups a little in order to take advantage of the changes.
A midslot on a Dominix is less of a sacrifice than a midslot on a Raven. 90% of the problems could be solved with a highslot version of the target painter and maybe some minor tweaks to explosion velocity. Drake/Raven/CNR all have an extra highslot.
Well doooooh. I know what a mid slot means for a raven, maybe you should also try and find out what a low slot means for a Domi. Where Ravens use to put their BCS? and Dominix is using for tanking modules?
You can't have everything mate. That was always the case.
Yeah, I have to agree, as a fellow Domi pilot, that the changes haven't really messed with me that bad, my defualt load out always was 1 wing of T2 lights, 2 wings of T2 mediums, and 2 wings of T2 heavies anyway, and with a little micromanaging, I found drones just as, if not more effective than before, T2 light scouts, which I always felt were underpowered, now seeme to have a lot more purpose, along with alot more oomph, though I admit, I'll miss watching my T2 heavies blast PVE AF's with impunity, but I'll get over it. And seeing as all my damage is drone based (highslots I reserve for tractors and salvagers when PVE), I can't complain. As far as the missiles go, I can't give much personal opinion, but plenty of my corp members seem to have found ways around the missile changes, but what I see in all this, is it's going to put a more deffinate emphasis on the importance of smaller craft in engagements, be they PVP or PVE, whichis alright with me, in the past, so many PVP fights I've experianced were 5-10 BC-BS sized vessels, either totally decimating smaller craft, or slugging it out with the larger for hours on end if both sides were well trained. Whereas now, the value of having a single properly built backline support frigate is going to skyrocket, adding huge dynamics to fleet engagements, and the balance of fleet power no longer residing on the heavier ships alone.
Personal opinion only, of course.
