So IMO the Mach is the best sub cap ship in game.

It has been for a long long time and needs to get its stuff in gear.

Below is the changes the ship needs to be in line with all other ships

•Galente Battleship Skill Bonus:
10% bonus to Large Projectile Turret falloff per level

•Minmatar Battleship Skill Bonus:

•Slot layout: 7H(-1), 6M(+1), 7L; 6turrets (-1), 1(+1) launchers
•Fittings: 16000 (-1950) MW PWG , 600 CPU
•Defense (shields / armor / hull) : 8000(-1317) / 8000(-1298) / 9000(+740)
•Mobility (max velocity / mass): 140 m/s(-21) / 98,500,000 (+8,320,000)
•Drones (bandwidth / bay): 75(-25) / 100(-25)
•Targeting (max targeting range / Scan Resolution / Max Locked targets): 60km(-2km) / 140-10 / 7
•Sensor strength: 26 LADAR

How dare you put round numbers in a ship stats sheet?

well they were all rounded down... plus the fall off got a good nerf.

so its slower shoots not as far is bigger sig resolution smaller drone bay...

overall its a total nerf. but still a great ship.

I'd be okay with these new stats if it had 8 turrets.

Not a forum alt.

i am not sure if the loss of one heavy drone and 12.5% turret range warrents an extra turret slot.

Nerfing is a form of rebalance. Domis just saw a slight nerf to drone tracking to bring it line with ships that also receive the same bonus (7.5%, down from 10%). Now it's consistent. Balanced, if you will.

As for the Mach, it does have a hefty price tag. I see people using Rattlesnakes and Bhaalgorns as much as I see Machariels. It isn't the hull that is unbalanced IMO, it's just the nature of projectiles and their high alpha artillery. Furthermore, stop comparing different ship roles. There's always going to be a ship that does something better than another ship can do. HTFU.

probably replace 1 shield extender rig with another ACR rig, and nothing has changed except a slight drop in EHP.

8k ehp loss, meh. it's still better than any of the proposed marauders for incursions.

all you did was take some of the fitting off, essentially nothing relevant was changed to address the gap between marauders and pirate battleships in an incursion environment.

Why not reduce it to it's strengths? That would leave mobility, signature and offense - just peel away the rest :>

(rest = things like battleshipsized dronebandwidth and base hitpoints, would work like before, just even more 'on-the-edge')

I've heard the Mach referred to as the best cruiser in the game.... its speed and agility need a much larger nerf than what you've proposed.
- Although most of the T1 BSs are now significantly faster (ie the "attack" BSs) - I suppose the other pirate BSs could get speed buffs, while the mach remains unchanged.

Meanwhile, I think the PG nerf is uncalled for.

read again I also reduced the falloff plus increased mass and sig and slowed it down. .. now I ask again how much shield hp and armor does it need to loose? 500-1000?

If you're going to drop it to 6 turrets (which is fine purely from an aesthetic and cost standpoint), you need to reallocate one of the highs to a medium. It's sorely lacking as a shield tank.

Don't have time to read all the replies right now, but Mach needs nerfed... Also, it needs 8 guns with a bonus nerf to compensate. The 7 gun layout on that ship drives me nuts with the actual gun placement on the ship... I actually sold mine because of that. For that reason alone XD

6 guns, buff the tracking and/or damage and allocate a high slot to a medium so we can run a decent shield tank.

It can already run a decent shield tank XD Afaik, it can. I'm fine with 6 guns or 8 guns, so long as it's f'ing even. The gun layout on the ship just looks ******** with 7 guns on it.

You overnerfed it a little bit. If you neerf it this level, then you need to nerf the vindicator as well..a dn the snow ball starts. THe path is correct, but could be less agressive on a few points.
