EPTTD's too. No counter, counters everything EWAR? Eh`?
Even if it's only proposed changes so far, and it's not yet reached the theorycraft for BC's it doesn't really look promising.

In any case, these TD changes and the crazy Arbitrator buff means these will likely be showing up on a lot more fits. The new meta will be TDs on fucking everything. Solo drakes are dead, since between the 20% damage nerf and the TDs affecting you, you will die even with dual webs to solo frigates. | ||

78% range reduction from ~120k away. All i need now is a 7.5% per level td bonus on the curse and my life is complete. People said i was dumb for training info links. Ha. | ||

Of course it doesn't. I'm simply asking why missiles should provide consistent DPS that is higher than all other long range turrets in their optimals and can project that DPS longer than those same turrets' falloff distance. What is wrong with having advantages to choosing other weapons platforms besides HML's ? Why not have pro's and con's for each instead of HML being better in every single way? Ashera Yune wrote: Because those long range systems can outdps HML at closer ranges? Isn't that not obvious? How did a dummy like you become CSM? Hans Jagerblitzen wrote: Um, please actually run the numbers - check out rails on the Ferox, rails on the Brutix, beams on the Harbinger, and artillery on the Hurricane. Load tech 2 long-range ammo. Compare. Please demonstrate how these systems do more raw DPS at closer ranges than HML's, than you can continue calling me a dummy CSM. such a gem <3 | ||

I certainly wouldn't mind freeing up a couple million skill points from a dumb design. While i can appreciate that the long term plan is to reduce battlecruisers' effectiveness compared to cruiser, I wish they wouldn't try to band-aid this and just do the necessary and introduce a separate weapon size for bc. Currently theres next to no reason to use a t1 cruiser over a t1 bc, the difference in training is generally mere hours. There needs to be a more conscious difference for larger fleet meta. all in all I like the changes for what they are intended to do, change up fleet meta for sizable fleets. They do suck for small gang where ecm can be so powerful, but CCP has rarely concerned themselves with the ultra-small gang niche so I can't have the same outrage as the rest of you on it. | ||

That is to say that the role for the longest of time was that it could not act like a frig. Frigs simply could do things dessies couldn't and the only longstanding role for the dessie was that it could murder most frigs. In the world of cruisers and battlecruisers there was no distinction. A lot of this has to do with the lulzy fitting abilities that nearly all Bc's have. You can usually have it all, whereas in a cruiser you're typically stuck in a ship that even when trying to focus on doing one thing well, still sucks compared to what you could get in a couple hours of training bc. No one planning a fleet comp sits and thinks, hey theres a decent reason why i would want a caracal over a drake, other than to invite fights because im using a subpar ship over what i should be using. Otherwise in the fleet meta its hey, wait two hours and come in bc2 level drake. They best way of pushing a role gap here is to push in a new weapon level, and reduce tracking from the new bc weapon size and up. Thislets you keep cruisers as, capable of having some defense against frigs and able to better stay under the guns of battleship and to an extent better favorable terms fighting a bc, while expanding upon weaknesses in battleship size weapon doctrines. Otherwise, t1 cruisers are things you do for the lulz, and because hey you need cruiser V to fly t2. | ||

HUZZAH! Same goes for the drake. Guess you could try HAM tengu / Cerb but the velocity on those things, makes hitting frigs impossible. For those of you that can only fly 4 ships, and happen to have perfect CNI, DRAKE, TENGU with 7.5mil SP in missiles Kill yourself now. | ||

Is and will be cross training into Amarr victor boats for the next month. Good thing I have another one with 19mil into Gunneries even before all the laser specs. Edit: HAMs might actually be okayish especially with buff to small target damage application. | ||

Will need to get some ships down to Sara on my return if we gonna be playing games there again. Been thinking about a basilisk with guns, could be a interesting option seeing as the resists are so high, drop a blue pill n u got a pretty hard ship to kill. No doubt someone will tell me how bad i am Any time someone does this you can tell them, 'I am an Iron Man, gtfo' | ||
