Ships & Modules

A gila can get around to 800 dps with rapid lights and t2 drones alone in a reasonable fit, no bling. Add augmented drones and you have a recipe for destruction with over 900 dps comming out of a cruiser hull that isnt hard to apply or project even to frigates past 30km. The ship does have a lot of things you can play around, though and doesent scale so well in larger gangs. It is solid but I dont think it needs nerfs. Perhaps a dronebay reduction in both the gila and worm are fine.

The rattlesnake could honestly use a rework. Its like ccp has troubles understanding that mirroring thematic bonuses from frigates to battleships doesent work too well most of the time.

Because you obviously have such large amount of solo Gila kills. If this isn't your main, then go find me a solo kill on a gila, that wasn't shitfit. (hint I looked, they are hard to find.)

Also a fully fit Gila for damage? It's a shield tank, it doesn't lose tank for damage. And a MWD Gila, with Assaults overheating rage, shoving out 1030dps, still will get a 60k buffer tank, plus a web and point.

Again...an idiot posting about pirate ships being too strong.

They are supposed to be the strongest ships. They are the most expensive ships as well. You get what you pay for but you also loose a lot of money if you screw up.
close the thread

See....there you have your counter - Gila ship....

Fitting a web counts as losing tank for damage.



None of these ships can kill an Orthrus. Loki/Huginn can hold it down for someone else to kill, but we're talking about 1v1 here.

I personally have most experience in cruiser size ships so let me do some comparison there.

Gila vs Cynabal - cynabal can actually kite faster than medium drones. But keeping point at the same time is going to be hard and gila can recall the drones when shot at. I would call it a draw

Gila vs Orthrus - The point range on Orthus is much longer so he can actually kite nearly outside of gilas drone control range. So it can shoot drones and it takes a long time for gila to scoop them back so they don't apply damage. Orthrus wins

Gila vs Phantasm Here it is pretty hard. Phantasm cant reasonably kill gila in 1 vs 1. Yet gila is unlikely to be able to hold down phantasm and prevent it from running. So the fight is actually unlikely to happen and would end in a draw

Gila vs Ashimmu The Gila has clear advantage here as it does not need cap for its weapons. So this fight would be hands down win for Gila

Gila vs Stratios This could be really interresting fight. and frankly I am not sure which one would win. It could go both ways depending on which resist holes are plugged and how well vs which drones are enemy using. But I would probably give the win to Gila

Gila vs Vigilant Given the 90% web and good blaster tracking the vigilant can easily kill those super drones of Gila. Then the gila would do only small amount of damage against the vigilant's stronger resist. I would say Vigilant wins


So let me have a look at results. Gila 2x wins, 2x loses and 2x ends in the draw. I would say it is pretty balanced.

My Gila doesn't want a Nerf, she prefers to do what she is designed to do

Also the idea to reduce drone bay size, no thanks. How would you like to have no cargo bay to hold your different types of Ammo, well drones are the Gila's Ammo.

I don't think anything can realistically kill a Stratios that uncloaks 2km away and applies two webs. That basically removes the drawback of fitting oversized plates and RAH is > drone boats.
