Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Greeting pilots,

First I'll like to start out by saying this isn't a biotch cry post. I'm just pointing out a few facts and suggesting a change. I would like to start out with the Deimos. What is a Deimos good for? What are it's roles? Shield or armor tank? Rails or blasters? What about an Ishtar? After asking myself these questions, I can't find a reason for anyone to fly a Deimos. It's a good brawling ship but come across a neuting vexor, VNI, or Ishtar with neuts (or any med neuting ship) and your done for. But what if you rail fit it? Rail Deimos are amazing, problem is you need to keep your distance and must be shield tanked. A vexor navy issue and Ishtar will make short work of your Deimos due to the mad buff sentries received during the past updates. Since I am against nerfing, I am proposing a buff to the Deimos. An Ishtar and it's sister don't need ammo for drones, don't need cap for drones, can fit a crazy tank since drones Don't take CPU and pwg, can switch damage types, can apply DPS while neuted, and the ship can brawl/snipe at the same damn time. I would like the Deimos to hit harder and have more cap with a faster cap recharge(15% on both cap buffs). Let's up the hybrid damage to 7.5% per gallente cruiser lvl and 7.5% per heavy assault cruiser lvl. 10% more hp per rep every HAC level or keep the 7.5% but add 7.5% more cap per cap charge per HAC lvl. That way the ship can truly shine and be on par with the Ishtar. Make it to where you don't want this ship to catch you in brawling range. As it sits right now you're better off in a VNI or Ishtar than a Die Most.

Also plz fix reactive armor. It should adjust to bleed damage and it should adjust as the damage is coming in and not every cycle. Finally it you get 12 em, 10thermal and 1000kentic bleed damage. It should shift everything to the most bleed damage. If your getting 300em and 300exp bleed should be 50/50 split. 300em 100ex and 600 exp should be 30/10/60 of the total 60% resistance increase. Every attack should instantly change your resistance.

Please leave feed back.

Troll post is meh. 2/10

You must not have flown a 250rail Deimos. Your missing out on a vagabond/cynabul killer. Sucks for you sir

no matter how you fit the deimos it will never be able to brawl against a neuting vexor. the drone damage will tear it to peices and the neut will stop all reps. also you cannot rep or shoot or tank when he neuts you out. you can fit rails but it will still out dps and out track you with sentries. the Deimos need to be buffed. feel free to post a fit that you think can take on a neuting VNI or ishtar.

You must be a drone guy. fact is fact and the Deimos is pointless as a brawler to the ishtar and VNI.

Then shouldn't you simply not engage VNI or ishtar with a deimos and use a ship that can counter them if you expect to face them?

For one, they are completely different. Ishtar deploys guns and then needs to stay within its drones' range. Deimos got mounted guns that move along. That along makes for quite some differences, as a deimos in perma-mwd-orbit [25-28km] still suffers tracking issues, the ishtar does not. However, many skirmishing fights involve warping off, warping back, warping up to a perch or down to a wreck. It's those situations where the Deimos is simply favorable - in near any sustained engagement.

They both fly completely different, not only cause slots. An Ishtar is usually shieldtanked, or rarely AAR+plate with webscram and lastly the dualbuffered fleetvariation (double LSE, 1600plate with spare PG). It usually uses sentries, thus is near always a longrange-dps-boat.
The Deimos though got quite a plethora of fits, active shieldtanked with blasters and doublenano, raildeimos either with shieldbuffer, AAR-honourtank or actually plated (though I dislike that one personally), brawldeimos with either badassplate or dualrep - you name it. There are a lot of things only one of the two ships can accomplish, given you pay attention to the deimos vastly superior capacitor and armorrep-bonus.

oh no a ship that has a counter it must be broken and buffed? :S

By the same argument i'm suggesting that the curse needs a buff because sheild tanked missile boats are a HUGE problem for a curse and there for the curse is broken and needs buffing I suggest that it be improved in the following balanced ways 1) the curse be made into an i-win button where you undock and all things instantly explode 2) it be immune to everything 3) dancing girls appear around your ship and proclaim your godlyness to the rest of the system and lastly 4) you become immune to concord

Try using a cap booster. They really do work.

You're an idiot
