Ships & Modules

It was back with the Navy BC announcement.

Of course not. Attack BCs and T3s are so terrible potent that it's hard to find new roles for T2 ships. HACs had their role in the past: faster and more agile than T1 cruisers and battlecruisers while being significantly more expensive. T3s can everything and that very very good on top of it. Attack BCs? Yeah mounting 8x large weapons on a slow cruiser or fast battlecruiser T1 hull .... great idea . T1 frigs, cruisers, BCs and T3 are so strong and powerfull atm that it's not enough just to find new roles for most T2 ships (ha good luck finding or creating new roles for all those ships) ... they have to become plain and simple stronger.

Think the zealot is the one great HAC. All HACs should be on that level in their distinctive niche!

I heard a rumor of a mwd-sig-bloom reduction... Is there a chance that some t2 ships are getting marauderised? (meaning half the turrets, twice the damage per turret) Think the resulting overheat performance should clearly set them apart.

deimos is becoming obsolete due to it's very limited advantages over it's t1 counterpart and I feel there's not much use for a muninn either with the nado and rupture covering both aspects it's supposed to be good at.

Vaga has it's little niche along with the cynabal so it's still ok and I fully agree the caldari hacs need something, anything.

Not entirely sure with the sacrilege.

The cerb and eagle are both fine as they represent the Caldari design philosophy of being completely terrible.

Deimos is ok-ish. It does its intended job well enough (see my ealier post). Falloff bonus should become tracking though, and thorax-speed would be nice too, along with that 4th mid (remove the utility high?)
arty cane is essentially what a muninn should be, those two ships are overlapping way too much. Optimal bonus is a nice one though. Muninn needs more PG to actually fit a decent (armor) tank along with arties.
the Cyna needs a speednerf, period. Vaga should be the insane fast one, cyna the nimble one. Vaga also needs more PG, its silly you cant fit a standard shield/ac fit properly due to PG problems, while it has craploads of CPU to spare.
Sac is pretty good, could use more speed/less weight. maybe remove the drones and add an xtra launcher (not sure why heavy assault cruisers have utility highs anyway, if you want EWAR, get recons in your fleet). Its dps is rather limited currently, especially when you're bolstering its strong point: tank. moving that high to a low might be interesting too.

while im at it, here are my 2 isk on the other HACs:
Ishtar: brobably the best HAC currently, by far the most versatile one. its just a PITA to fit properly. give it some more CPU/PG
zealot: its silly that the omen does the same dps at higher speeds then the zealot. In fact, the only things is has over the omen is EHP and range. Give it a drone bay or an xtra highslot / turret hardpoint (I like the idea of a full laz0r gunboat tbh). The lack of a drone bay warrants a 16th slot. some more cap/cap regen would be nice too, to offset the draw of lasers.
The cerb is repairable. removing the flight time bonus and add a resist or shield HP bonus would go a long way. Remove the useless utility high to a mid should work wonders too. Make it faster and give it ALOT more PG. to fit it all. Increase its kinetic dmg bonus from 5 to 10% could work, or to give it a tad more flexebility, an xtra launcher, pretty much in line with the zealot.
Eagle just needs to be reworked from the ground up...

nvm

Why not

If people are rage quitting over the Tracking Enhancer's range bonus getting reduced by 1/3 and ship resistance bonuses getting reduced by 1/5, can you imagine how many will rage quit if something else is announced?

Who allowed you to post here? Back to the balancing pits! We need more Vespene Gas!
