Svipul

That is it damn good son.

FINALLY!!! A shield ship thats slower than an armor ship of the same class.

Went from the faction frigates worst nightmare to the laughing stock of the fleet.

Anyway.

The power-grid nerf to both the confessor and svipul are just to much honestly 19 on the svipul giving it a base of 59 A tech 1 frigate the incursus for example has 45 base wow 14 more pg in a ship thats below the class what a joke while the thrasher for example a t1 destroyer has 70 base pg. The thing that i believe made t3 dessys fun was the 10mn afterburner + sheild booster or med extender made it fun to fit fun to fly it (was) fast. still inst bad with a mwd but whats to stop a dude in a slower inty with a scram bonus to run from me. Here we have an actual ship that can chase these fast guys and sometimes kill them. That you guys did an awesome job doing an initial stat balance on just to take a dump on it. Rebalancing and nerfing the snot out of something are different.

I'm no physicist but when something gets lighter it gets easier to maneuver and goes faster not the other way around.

bottom line it has the fitting capabilities of a t1 frigate and moves like a cruiser. with the tank of a destroyer with no bonuses. its a t3 not a t1 thrasher with no fitting abilities.

All i ask is for some pg and some speed to make it at-least competitive with other ships.

Latest builds are coming along like the dual nuets etc are awkward to fit.

I hope you are aware that svipul remains rather unchanged on the top of the food chain.
As a sekret tip: Fit a svipul with mwd and 280s instead of ACs. Suddenly you don't have to move to 500m ontop of them, you can blap ceptors at 35km.

Reason ive never lost a svipul is because the particular fit ive used took months to make and does (did) extremely well in a wide variety situations.

but yes it has the dps as before but i guess i just overreacted abit because it took me so long to do my fit now i have to engineer a new one. I miss it being bad fast. I normally fly a deimos which (armor) is slow as hell ~2500 so flying something that fast was a blast but meh. Its a t3 its supposed to be bosslike why else would i waste all that time training and building a fit for it.

10mn's i felt made the t3 destroyes apart from alot of other ships a unique thing i guess. Im not an ab pilot if it doesnt do atleast 2k i dont want a part in it.

As far as blapping inties at 35k according to The angular formula V=wR w=angular/transversal velocity. i cant see that working but ive never used the arties before because they cant hit **** alphas dank but what do when you cant hit anything.

UPDATE: ran 280s on it what the hell is this sorcery. using quake at 11~15k with a tracking comp in tracking mode i was nailing a malediction for god knows what but i actually hit him (shocking i know) he was orbiting me at about 15k doing around 3500.

Heres me a gallente pilot who is used to blasters. And autocannons that hit almost always in close range. so the svipul is a whole new ballgame for me after spending alot of time understanding how it works and doing well with it for it to get changed all up like that just irritates me. i was the same way with bombers too :p

svipul is still OP, it still takes on HAC's...
