Amarr master race.

Increase their speed by x6! Nano caps!

(only 95% sarcasm)

I too am a disgruntled Niddy pilot. I love my Nid, but unfortunately, I have no use for it outside of transporting ships in it around lowsec.

Problems:

-Smallest capacitor of all carriers, which makes it hard to keep cap stable in a fight, and easy to cap out.

-Not enough powergrid to fit a standard armor triage set up of x3 rr armor reps, x1 cap transfer, x2 local reps

-Not enough cpu to fit a shield standard triage set up of x3 RR shield reps, X1 Cap transfer, X1 local rep.

-Because of that, the chim/archon outshine the nid in repping power, only because they have the fitting requirements to be able to field such a set up.

- Chim/archon also have a better cap, better resists, and much better EHP

-Nid has lowest EHP of all carriers

-Nid also is useless for dps, (which isn't a problem, but when coupled with the above problems, makes it just another straw on the proverbial back of the camel.)

Sadly, because of these, I have given up all hope of actually having a useful pvp nid, and have started training for a moros.

Solutions:

Buff the capacitor in line with the rest of the carriers.

Fix either the cpu or powergrid of the nid, so it becomes either a shield repping carrier, or an armor repping carrier. Having to gimp and fit an armor local tank to triage shield reps, and vice versa, is asinine.

Give the nid enough EHP to actually be able to survive in an engagement, and not be insta primary because its so easy to alpha.

If it is truly meant to be a repping monster for both armor/shields, then buff both powergrid, and CPU, keep the current rep power bonus, and increase EHP in both shields/armor.

As it stands now, it is a pitiful carrier in comparison to any of the others. Hell, even a thanatos can come up with a better triage fit than the niddy in its current state, due to its capacitor and fitting restrictions.

I really love the niddy, and therefore, I hope that when it is capital balance time, somebody *cough* Fozzie *cough* shows some love to the nidd.

The Ragnarok's bonus is to reduce sig. radius, not increase agility. This is even more useless for carriers.

the point that we are attempting to raise is, both of these ships have been horrible, throughout the history of EVE. Yes, the flowchart says what it says, but absolutely nothing carrier related has been said by Fozzie, nor has there been any love shown towards the niddy at all.

The Nag must remain vertical.

What about a rof bonus for the drones which is a lot like projectile weapons getting rof bonuses on minmatar ships, that way every carrier's bonus is unique but still fits a similar niche as another carrier ( like the resistance bonuses on caldari and amarr carriers)

Have to be careful with that since an ROF bonus is superior dps-wise to a damage bonus.

Well I sold my Nag after it lost it's drones and fell even further behind with the Moros changes. And I sold my remaining Nid a while back ago when my wormhole one was singled out from two other carriers that weren't nids. I figure if I want to dabble with caps again I would just cross train Amarr or Gal for it.

You should probably note that while the Naglfar does have the lowest DPS of any dreadnought (at least so far as looking at our Alliance fittings goes) it's the only one that has the ability to select damage types pretty much at will without sacrificing DPS.
