After some more internal and external play testings, we are fairly happy with existing destroyers, except for the Catalyst, as mentioned in the new destroyer balancing thread.

We want to increase the fittings on it so it is able to mount neutron blasters, or even have a hope to fit 150mm railguns (with fitting implants / rigs). However, by doing so we are removing its tiny dronebay to make its role more focused on turrets and keep a clear distinction with the new Gallente drone destroyer.

Powergrid increased from 60 to 70, CPU increased from 170 to 178
Drone bay and bandwidth removed

Doing so approximately keeps the same damage potential as before, except you have slightly more range as using neutrons instead of ions. It also means you don't have to rely on a destructible damage source (light drone) to compensate for your downgraded guns.

Also, we want to reduce mass on existing destroyers to make them more noticeable against the new hulls. Changes are the most important for the ships that needed the most, while the thrasher was slightly tuned down. For instance, we estimate around 200m/s to be gained on MWD speeds for a Catalyst.

Coercer: mass decreased from 1665000 to 1650000, agility increased from 2.75 to 2.77 to keep close align time
Cormorant: mass decreased from 1892000 to 1700000, agility increased from 2.5 to 2.78 to keep close align time
Catalyst: mass decreased from 1761000 to 1550000, agility increased from 2.45 to 2.76 to keep close align time
Thrasher: mass increased from 1542000 to 1600000, agility decreased from 2.96 to 2.8 to keep close align time

We also had a look at the Catalyst bonuses, but we find them acceptable as they are right now - swapping turret optimal range to falloff would be detrimental to long range Catalyst setups, especially with the fittings changes, that's why no modifications are planned on that front.

EFT Fact of the day: A linked maximum implanted officer fit Revenant (3 Adaptive one EM Estamel's, one DCU) only has ~1 million less EHP than a full officer active hardener w/ one energized adaptive (and DCU), with slaves and the +8% implant Aeon, with legion links.
And I still wouldn't want one. Kwark, get one.

Oh damn it I forgot the Aeon rigs

revenant would be cool to have just for the hilarity factor - it's the worst sc, it literally looks like poop, but hey at least the fighters fly fast. if i was uber rich i'd definitely buy one and then promptly lose it in ridiculous fashion
