Yes, the hurricane is a very good ship.

However......... do you realy think it was so good that you can give likes of the brutix a 5% dmg increase, extra low slot.. then new armor ancil to go with it's rep bonus and expect the cane to have a look in it?. Besides the canes obviously good dps it still relied on neuting the cap of tanky ships to do well. All those ships will now be less cap dependent for tank, and even most the shield tanked ships got extra low to pump out more dps anyway.

Realy, i don't think the cane was THAT good were you can remove a high slot, buff all the other bc's.. then expect it to still be ok.

Not sure if troll or serious.

The new AAR still uses cap.

The Hurricane will still have the speed advantage over pretty much every other BC, especially when nano'd and shield tanked. Doesn't matter if the Brutix has WTFpwn damage if the 'cane can dictate range.

Besides the Cane and the Drake have been at the top of the pecking order for to long, so what if the Brutix would become the new king?
Tiericide is giving us a bunch of new ships to play with, more variety and new things to learn, mistakes to make.
I have always had a fancy for blasters and the Brutix finaly it will be more useful .

Look how the Rifter suffered who cares if the Hurricane goes the same way.

Anyway as said above the Brutix will be a lumbering beast vs ships like the Cane so just adopt a new playstyle.

Cane nerf was much needed and it's actually not a big deal. Brutix buff on the other hand just made it really brutal when shield fitted. Even armor fitted some fights in 1v1 might turn in Brutix favor depending on small details but I think Brutix became a little more viable in solo small engagements. Not good yet, but better.

The brutix is where blaster boats should be, at the top of the damage meter. it's a brawler.
If you get the right implants for it, that's where it gets dangerous. you can get it up to 900 DPS.

I had 2 cyclones and 2 hurricanes.Cyclone was a good fun ship hurricane is a great ship.Why?I had chosen the passive tanking rout in all off them and hurricane has exactly the same amount of shield hps and may be more and much much more damage (My cyclone had about 300 dps with 4 drones ,my cane has 420+) .Also the passive tanking rout I 'm having is very cap stable and my shields have 20ks hps and 60hp/s recharge which is tough to pass them.If you learn to fly it and have some not perfect but good skills you will really enjoy it.

You guys are talking like the cane was OP. It simply done it's job and done it well for pvp and ok in pve, no crime in that.
But suddenly it takes some 50 dps hit and that's not bad becuaser the opther bc's sucked. W/E.
