Lancard	Posted - 2008.11.27 23:01:00 - [1] Subject line says it all. Arazu doesn't have much going for it atm. Below I have listed a few options that could improve the Arazu's role as a support ship. Personally, I feel that implementing option #1 (by itself) would make the Arazu useful again without becoming overpowering. Proposed fix(es): 1. increase effectiveness(targeting range reduction/targeting speed reduction) of remote sensor dampeners -or- boost Arazu's bonus to remote sensor dampeners. -Imo, with two remote sensor damps activated, a standard Ti Battleship should have an effective targeting range of no more then 10km. A standard BC should have an effecitve targeting range of no more then 2km. 2. Additional med/low slot with additional powergrid/cpu to match - An Arazu can't hold it's cap without the assistance of cap boosters, capacitor rechargers, or shield power relays. Arazu's have no tank, so mircrowarp drives, overdrive injectors, nanofibers are required to maintain distance. 3. Increase the optimal range for sensor boosters to 50/55 km (or an Arazu ship bonus to match) - Let's face it, the Arazu is a rail boat. 4. Increase capacitor recharge rate -or- increase capacitor capacity - Again, the Arazu can't hold it's capacitor. 5. Increase dronebay size to 50km - Gallente is the drone race ffs. If the Arazu can't count on it's remote sensor dampeners, at least give them room for full rack of Medium Drones. Comments/concerns/troll accusations are welcome TL;DR version : Arazu whine

lecrotta lecrotta Corp	Posted - 2008.11.27 23:11:00 - [3] The damp range on the arazu needs a boost so it can be effective at 180 or so i think, at least then it would be a good counter to the falcon and worth flying in gang.

Mister Xerox	Posted - 2008.11.28 00:08:00 - [5] At 150+ there would be no difference whatsoever between the Falcon and the Arazu. They used to be almost that effective and they ran around in mobs doing the same thing everyone is blaming the Falcon for now... 100% risk free 1-sided fights. They're one of the reasons scripts came into the game, remember?

Naomi Knight Amarr Imperial Academy	Posted - 2008.11.28 00:30:00 - [8] Oh yes and make it so op that it only needs 1 med slot item to shut down any snipers ... thx not.
Caffeine Junkie 2 Guys In Motherships	Posted - 2008.11.28 02:00:00 - [9] Even as a Falcon pilot I would rather see the Falcon nerfed than the Arazu boosted, ECM is chance based, damping is not. Already the Arazu can neuter a carrier, where a Falcon will get a jam 50% of the time if its lucky. There are many places in this game where battles are fought and won, EFT isn't one of them.
TimMc Gallente Brutal Deliverance	Posted - 2008.11.28 02:05:00 - [10] Recons are all fine besides the Falcon/Rook. ECM needs to be moved to a more close range weapon like the other ewar.

Dianne McReigner	Posted - 2008.11.28 04:45:00 - [11] Arazu's are trash. The OP fails.
Terraform Gallente Recreation Of The World	Posted - 2008.11.28 05:09:00 - [12] Nerf Falcons, how they've managed to escape th damn nerf-bar for so long is a mystery. I have a feeling CCP flies Falcons on their alt.
Etho Demerzel Gallente Holy Clan of the Cone	Posted - 2008.11.28 05:11:00 - [13] Originally by: TimMc Recons are all fine besides the Falcon/Rook. ECM needs to be moved to a more close range weapon like the other ewar. Recons are not fine. Don't try to dumbify the game into a ridiculous damage/tank simulation. The more effective EW is the better. Falcons and other ECM boats are fine. It is not ECM taht must be nerfed. Some of the other recons and EW should be boosted. Mainly the Gallente ones and the Pilgrim. But the minnie ones could use some web strength bonus as well. ===== "If a member of the EVE community finds he or she cannot accept our current level of transparency, we bid you good luck in finding a company that meets your needs." - CCP kieron...
Dianne McReigner	Posted - 2008.11.28 06:16:00 - [14] Originally by: Naomi Knight Oh yes and make it so op that it only needs 1 med slot item to shut down any snipers ... thx not. This. Snipers BS should not be able to be shut down by a recon ship. That makes zero sense Originally by: Caffeine Junkie Even as a Falcon pilot I would rather see the Falcon nerfed than the Arazu boosted, ECM is chance based, damping is not. Already the Arazu can neuter a carrier, where a Falcon will get a jam 50% of the time if its lucky. Ya, Arazu is already ubar-l33t vs carriers. No way can it be overpowered to be good against both sniper BS and Caps. Originally by: TimMc Recons are all fine besides the Falcon/Rook. ECM needs to be moved to a more close range weapon like the other ewar. CCP, give this fella a grammy. Ofc support ships should be close range. Why hasn't this already been implemented?
Shosoru Gallente	Posted - 2008.11.28 09:50:00 - [15] Edited by: Shosoru on 28/11/2008 09:55:20 I usually don't post to useless Nerf this boost that but i just want to say that i would like to see the Arazu being a ship that can not only be used as support but an excellent choice for solo pvp buy giving it some more dps potential (perhaps 400 dps+ at ~20 km range) and if the Lachesis gets a range bonus (maybe falloff?) instead of one of the two damage bonuses or its rsd effectives bonus (1 Lachesis shouldn't be able to newt down ~5 snip bs) so it can screw a long distance ecm ship and ships as the falcon would be of less use in bigger group pvp. I haven't thought this idea throw all to much cos whatever ccp douse i'm behind them ind my opinion isn't absolute but was just an idea cos i like to use the arazu as solo ship but it has a bit little Damage to actually kill a ship in any reasonable time, with any sort of tank they just don't go down. However smaller ships are quite screwed against an Arazu with range script. well whatever ------------------------------ Q: what happens when an EVE player quits EVE to play WOW A: the Average IQ of both goes up
Malcanis Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2008.11.28 09:59:00 - [16] Agreed that the Arazu should get a significant increse in it's EW bonuses. +10% level to sensor damp strength would be quite reasonable; +5% is just awful. Or/Also: change Signal Distort Amps to work with all EW, not just ECM.
Malcanis Deep Core Mining Inc.

Yeah, EW which works 100% of the time at 180Km would be good

ECM needs to be moved to a more close range weapon like the other ewar. What secondary ability should the Rook & Falcon get to match the other recons which operate at medium range because of those abilities, which their medium range non chance based EW? Also, don't forget the drone bay, extra weapon slots, additional lows, and of course a bit more speed & agility. It's fine to not want the Caldari recons to be highly specialised long-range EW platforms, but if you want their EW on a par with the other recons, you have come up with a complete proposal. Previously I suggested a +10%/level boost to the effects, speed & hp of all EW and combat utility dones, combined with a Curse-style drone bay; 150-175 m^3, and 50Mbit bandwidth. That's not really a very good suggestion, although it would at least be interesting to fly, but at least it's something. What do you suggest?

So make it as useless in gang combat as the arazu is at the moment is your answer?. I said it wasn't a good suggestion, and asked for better ones. What more do you want from me? The point is to illustrate that it's not at all easy to come up with a plausible medium-range role for the Caldari Recons. People are always harping on about their EW superiority over the other recons, but they fill a different role to the other recons. They don't add supplemental DPS, they don't do awesome capwar, they don't web at 40Km, they don't scram at 70Km. They have no reason to operate at medium range; they have no role at medium range. The only thing a Falcon or Rook should be doing at 70Km is MWD/warping away before they inevitably get butchered. OK how about this for a role change: change the recon ECM range bonus to a Burst ECM range bonus. Falc/Rook warps into a gang, hits burst ECM, hopes to make it out in time.

I just don't think you should be long range AND cloaked. I would be more than happy for the combat recons to all get nice range bonuses so they can keep at distance, while the force recons all have to keep around 50km away (for Arazu and Falcon. Curse already has the range bonus. Maybe Huggin could use a web effectiveness bonus since its already pretty damn long range).

It's true that you cannot hold cruiser classed or smaller ships that don't won't to fight or attempt to re-reproach without a bubble...was that different pre-QR? No, and believe me I've flown the Rapier a lot before QR... You needed a bubble to catch most things smaller than a BC, and you still do now... You needed a lot of luck and perhaps a sub-par opponent to stop his tackled, dual-webbed BC or BS to re-aproach with his overheated MWD with your rapier... You still need a bubble... You have way more chances to really stop his re-approach with an Arazu around a gate than with a Rapier... Damps are the T1-ship Gallente ewar...I don't see as many Celestis' as Arbitrators, I can give you that...Long range scrams are way better and the prime Arazu/Lachesis' role, just like neutralizing cap is the main Curse/Pilgrim's role, and webbing is the main Rapier/Huginn's role.

And again, if you're bringing Falcons in that close, you're condemning them to immediately die unless they can jam every ship in the enemy gang. I am of course fully aware that that is what you want to happen. Add a mid, 2 lows and give it a speed boost and it might - just - be vaguely viable in that situation. But I didn't see that part in your suggestion.

Yes we are talking about the Gallente Force Recon Arazu. Post-QR this ship is so wtfbbqpwn that it can singlehandedly dual point and web more effectively then 2x webs with the activation of 1 module. Heavens forbid this ship encounter a MWD cruiser where it will absolutely pwn from 20km with it's rails, small drones, and hefty tank. Boost all MWD ships and at least give them enough DPS at 20km range so they can defend themselves.

Boost all MWD ships and at least give them enough DPS at 20km range so they can defend themselves. Right. You've never actually flown an Arazu, have you? Anyone who uses the words "hefty tank" in relation to an Arazu reveals themselves to be... clueless. To be charitable. And "pwn from 20km with railguns and small drones"? Right. You are aware of what sort of dps we're talking about here, right? Especially since fitting 250mm rails is problematic, you'll usually be stuck with 200mms. And let's not even start with the cap problems. Like I said... you've obviously never actually flown the ship. The point of this thread is the fact that damps (you know, the modules the ship was meant to use), are really, really underpowered even with the Arazu bonuses. In most cases they are not worth fitting. (oh, and normal t2 scramble max range is 18km, and even that assumes Recon V. You can overheat, sure, but you can't do it for long)
Hardtail Ever Flow Axiom Empire	Posted - 2008.11.28 19:18:00 - [33] oh yes, a hefty 4 low slot tank. good thinking there.

Although that is without damps.... Yeah. Sure, like all recons you can skip all the EW and turn it into a poor HAC, and get nice EFT numbers. Thing is... if you do that, you might as well get a HAC, they are better at the ehp + dps thing. Recons should be good at various sorts of EW. Currently, the Arazu is a good tackler, but that's it -- and on that front, HICs and inties compete with it. Unlike Arazu, HICs can tackle and tank, so people tend to prefer them. The damp portion is all too often not worth fitting, nowadays. It's been a while since I've seen anyone in an Arazu or Lachesis. I see Falcons, Rapiers and Curses all the time.

Actually i have used it in the past as a "oh sh*t i gotme ship" as most ppl burn away from a deimos (obviously as its a blaster ship) but approach a arazu (as its a damp ship), plus the extra scram range and cloak can tip the balance when hunting mission runners or ratters. I do not use it often tbh but its fun now and again to see ppl actually burn into blaster range instead of running away for a change.

Shosoru Gallente	Posted - 2008.11.28 20:44:00 - [38] Why use a recon to fit the role of a hac ? cos hacs cant fit covert ops cloke. Blaster arazu is a good ship, a bit expensive but in some situations just nice. I've also noticed that many think that you are just tackling them and have a fleet behind you. With some provocation in local he and his friends might think you are really part of a gang and wont com help. ------------------------------ Q: what happens when an EVE player quits EVE to play WOW A: the Average IQ of both goes up
Lancard	Posted - 2008.11.29 00:02:00 - [39] Thus far I don't gather any type of consensus. Originally by: Naomi Knight Oh yes and make it so op that it only needs 1 med slot item to shut down any snipers ... thx not. Perhaps it's too much to ask to increase the effective range of remote sensor dampeners to around 100km. If remote sensor dampeners were effective at 100km+ the Arazu could become an overpowering counter to sniper BS and falcons. So I dare pose the question, why not increase it to 60-50km? Originally by: lecrotta You can fit the arazu for 30k EHP and 435dps. Although that is without damps....

I am seeking a fix to make the Arazu an effective support ship, perhaps an ideal tackling ship, but not a wanna-be HAC. Thanks for all of the questions and comments thus far.

None of the solutions in this thread are good For more information, see This and this for more information regarding what went wrong, what needs to be done to fix the problem, and why the proposed solutions here will not work. Additionally, it should be noted that increasing the range on damps is very dangerous territory, since they can easily become 100% effective damage reduction when they have high optimal ranges. Damps are already very effective at high ranges due to their strong falloff, they do not need to be stronger.

Gronnik	Posted - 2008.11.29 00:22:00 - [41] What i miss when using the arazu is a proper cap recharge, and abit more armor to have some defences. Otherwise imo the arazu and lachesis are proper ships, less good then the falcon but thats ebcause the falcon can operate from 200km out.

(without rigs, just modules, skills and ship bonuses) Amarr recons effective range 36ish, NOT chance based - mod works on any ship Minmatar recons effective range 38ish, NOT chance based - mod works on any ship Gallente recons effective range 38ish, NOT chance based - mod works on any ship Caldari recons effective range 150ish, chance based - mod works on only the racial ship type, otherwise you take a huge range and strength nerf. (i dont concider a non-matching racial jammer 'working') I would say thats pretty balanced and any falcon pilot who has missed a jam on a inty using a racial jammer due to chance and had his glass sniper popped will agree.

Luckily, you don't know what you are talking about. Anyways. 3x 250 rail II 10mn AB2 warp scram II 3x LSE2 invuln 2 DCU2 2x MS2 RCU2 2x core defense field extenders 4x hammerhead 2s 300 dps, 46K EHP, 108 tank and points and kills mwd at nearly 22km (OL'd). not great DPS, but for solo hunting frigs and T1 cruisers, it's pretty dang good. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Brought to you by the letter ARRR!"
