Seems related to a thread "most useless bonuses" or something like tha
So, all the T1 "logi like" ships -
WTF are the combining logi functions with mining functions in the same ship (Osprey, the schrythe, sort of
The exequror? wtf, cargo capacity bonus? so its just a really crappy logi boat, is its niche supposed to be following a fleet into a plex that doesn't allow anything bigger than cruisers - to take loot and give reps
I don't understand what this cargo capacity bonus is supposed to be for..
And of course, the repping capabilities are insufficient to make them useful, maybe if they could fit large reppers/energy transfers
As for the navy issue exequror, I'd rather see it be like a halfway decent logi - but in its current role I will point out that it is significantly faster than a Thorax, its ROF bonus means its 4 turrets are 5.33 "effective turrets" before the 5% damage per level is factored in (but the thorax has this, so they cancel out), and it has the same low and med slot distribution
I'm guessing the lower number of highs makes the fitting about the same
So you get 6.67% more turret DPS, and 78 m/s more speed (45.8% faster) for the loss of about 200 armor, 200 shield, and 200 hull H
... and then its got half the drone bay of the normal exequror
So, yea its pretty bad, but with a bit of an HP+ grid buff, + drone bay buff, I could see it basically being a fast Thorax (though I'd rather see it with a Thorax model, and call it the navy Thorax, and if we must have a Navy exequoror, make it a more effective logi for those that dont yet have Logi skills
Just as the Gallente Navy Tier1 fills basically the same role as the Gallente Tier3, I see that with the IN Augor and the Maller (with the caldari, its more of the tier 2 it overlaps with)
With Tiericide coming, I hope the previous "tier 1" faction ships become significantly better than the "tier 3s" vs just marginally better
But to top the list
Procure
Why would anyone ever fly one of those
Can't wait a couple hours to get a retreiver, despite waiting days to get industry to V?
Want to fly something that gets outmined by a BS or BC, and is easy to gank, and can't do anything else
Drop this ship completely, or make it faster, more agile, smaller sig radius, better tank, and give it launcher hardpoints - something that is half miner, and half combat frig/cruiser |
