There's so much talk of what's imbalanced, what's FOTM, what the "cool" people are doing. I would like to see what ships y'all think are balanced just about perfectly. I think some very well balanced ships are the logistics cruisers, especially now that the onieros has been tweaked. Also well balanced are the navy faction battleships, being expensive, better than their non faction counterparts, but not overpowered in the slightest.

What does the community think?

Loki.
Non-cloaky Recons are fairly well balanced against each other.
Navy faction cruisers.

Tier 3's seem pretty well balanced.

Also the 4 Tier 3 Frigates that got the update.

Frigates were pretty balanced but now they are a little out of sync, the changes to the t1 frigates have pretty much killed Navy Frigates again

The slicer was pretty much the only navy frigate worth flying tbh.

It still is. The others are just trash.

also.


Sleipnir is ballanced. Also the only usable command ship in combat. (stealth command ships need a buff whine)

Tengus could probably do with a stealth nerf in the form of and increase in Stasis Webifier effectiveness (Maybe like 70%). All the Carriers need a buff apart from the Archon and Thanatos, which are nicely balanced.

Nid needs more PG & maybe a self rep bonus, not sure.
Chimera needs a little bit more base CPU, and CSBs probably need a buff slightly.

All the dreads, except the Moros, are pretty balanced, Moros may need a slight damage nerf, unsure, its Cap issues are sort of a balancing factor of there own.

All the Tier 3s seem balanced in their own roles and engagement spheres.

T2 BCs are all fairly balanced, Harby maybe needs a little bump on the CPU front.

Tier 1 BCs are mostly ok as well.

Tempest needs another Low Slot, maybe at the expense of a utility high, maybe a mid, but that would punch the Nano Tempest in the face, which would be a shame.

Huginns need to lose a High and gain a Mid to match the Lachesis.

Rapier needs better base armour resists.

Thats about all the ships my chars fly that I can think of.

Anything I fly when I win is perfectly balanced.
All other ships are totally OP and needs to DaNurf!

Tier 3 BCs is what CCP should be aiming for in terms of overall balance, but given their frigate rebalance it shows they're incapable of doing logical stuff. The merlin is hilariously OP.

Amarr battleships. HP/grid/etc could be teir-balanced, but otherwise they're very well done.

Tbh its only really the hookbill that is difficult to kill in the new incursus (for example). Mwd Slicers aren't particularly difficult to catch in another Mwd frigate. The Hookbill however is the only navy frigate that can still compete in a stand up fight with most frigates and the Mwd version has little trouble catching slicers if the pilot isn't a moron.

Dessies are quite well balanced against each other, though not against other ships.

Freighters are pretty balanced.

Also, does anyone else here wonder, when they see an Iteron V, where the midpoint of it is, could you balance it on your finger?

Unless the incursus can move at 5k/s without over-heat, i doubt it will catch a slicer...

Confirming that the only way to catch a slicer is to match its eft-maxspeed.

Yep there is no way to catch things with a faster straight line speed, I mean it never happens........ever

I'd say the incursus is slightly OP, but other than that the t1 frigs are fine.
