Not a "bring it back or I unsub" thread don't worry. Big smile

Just marking the passing of the original weapon layout of the first ship I ever really liked in EvE. It may have been a slightly underpowered rust heap but it was my rust heap and given the right circumstances it could perform great feats.

So long old buddy, you will be sorely missed.

There once was an interesting signature here... It has long since disapeared.

Why? just enjoy the new twist for the Cyclone as a missile boat.

Because smaller, less tanky missile platform is what everyone wanted. Right?

It is the fastest BC. It has two utility slots which are becoming a rarity as the ships get rebalanced. I'm thinking Heavies, snakes and Loki boosts in low-sec will be popular.

Where is the information saying that it will become a missile boat?

I love the cyclone, but haven't really trained deep into missiles. Guess I should start.

Cyclone:

The Cyclone built a niche for itself thanks to the ancillary shield booster module, but since the ASB rebalance it has struggled to stay competitive. With the shield booster bonus being the only thing preventing the Cyclone from being simply a worse Hurricane, there was a severe lack of variety in the weapon systems of the Minmatar Battlecruiser lineup.

In 1.1 we have revamped the Cyclone as the Minmatar missile Battlecruiser. It has swapped the old projectile rate of fire bonus for an equivalent missile bonus, and seen a highslot move to a low. Along with the addition of extra shield HP and the continuation of the successful shield booster bonus, this creates a fast and flexible missile ship that can dictate the terms of many engagements.

Drake, minus buffer.Straight

You must not be familiar with the missile experience. You do realize ppl use drakes for the buffer, despite missiles, not because of them, right?P

Gosh and here I thought the Drake's buffer was reduced.

im running with 2x 180mm acs in pve to help with frigates i guess in pvp you'd go with neuts to neut off tacklers while kiting

If you make a brawling cyclone with hams I guess you'd still have neuts
