oh and not's let forget ..

with these modules comes "e-war modules will affect missile ships"

If brute force isn't working, you're just not using enough.

New missile mods... Hmm interesting.


not really

if you do fly a drake to use them you have 2 choices

use Mid slot options - have a crap tank
use Low slot options - have crap dps
use Low & Mid slot options - have a crap tank AND crap dps

... winning all the way



Well it is a duck after all. With ducks there's going to be crap all over the place.

Drake can get about 50k EHP with a dcu, invuln and buffer rigs. Granted thats not brick tank drake stats, but its more than enough to welp T3d/frigs/cruisers that are dumb enough to get close. If they kite.. mjd to freedom. Freedom drake best drake.

The fit i regularly fly has killed 10mn fessor/svipul (prenerf) recons, assault frigs, frig blobs, navy cruisers etc. You underestimate the power of an application fit missile boat. The drake is no different. Even with lowish tank, it kills things so fast, you end up not needing it in some cases. The people who fit max tank on a drake with only a scram for tackle are the ones who ***** about application/dps. When you properly fit, missile ships are spooky.

Note: confessors killed using non bonused thermal.

Disclaimer: I am not saying uber application drakes with 50k EHP are the next form of elite pvp.. but when thats all you end of fighting because of current meta.. you tend to fit for your targets.

Give Battlecruisers range to fullfil their Anti-Cruiser role - OP SUCCESS

Make the Muninn great again!

50% buff to heavy missiles and new missile modules coming. More hit points for missiles and resists against their own damage type. Devblogs to follow soon. No real sauce yet.

Unless I misunderstood the comments last night.

No, you understood perfectly.

More nerf to the Ishtar coming.


Welp, I started playing a year and a half ago and spent at least a third of that time training for the Ishtar and just about maxing out drone skills, so I rather hope they don't nerf it into irrelevance. They can remove sentries from the hull and it will still be very good for PvE and small gang stuff, but mess with anything else and the Ishtar will be dead.

Anyone have idea on the next OP ship so I can go ahead and queu up the skills?

Maybe the much talked about but never actually used by anyone "RHML Rattlesnake" will finally become a thing.

I don't think a 5% is significant enough to make people start using HMs again but that's just CCP doing their little hammer thing while dropping TDs on missiles because that's not a very big tap with a very big hammer or anything.
