You just did, didn't you? Blink

Signing in to agree though, HACs can use a little revamp.

Needs abit of thought because as said before it would kinda break the vaga.

Yep, I agree with this. A MWD sig bonus would make the Vaga OP as hell. Going 3k m/s with only a sig of about 200? Good luck hitting that.

As for the eagle would either need a big boost to med rails or more damage bonus. Like a double damage bonus or something. Anyways, something to make the eagle useful! it sucks as a sniper when u compare it to the naga. No point in using the eagle, no point at all. same with the cerberus. A missle sniper with no tank? Drake plsthx.

caldari HAC's need a better role that isn't currently dominated by their BC's.

@Metal Icarus Give it a double bonus and ppl will fit it with blasters.

And maybe then it would be a respectable HAC.

A good idea, HACs do need a little love and giving them a bloom reduction would not change their effectiveness in close range or ab circumstances.

However ask yourself how effective the mwd bloom reduction was for AFs?

I dont think anyone really noticed.



I personally differ regarding the AF bloom reduction. I feel this has given AFs a tremendous, and much needed boost. Since the change, I've rarely seen AB fitted AFs used, and have personally seen quite a few very interesting and effective setups that wouldn't have been possible or as effective before.

Not sure how it would transfer over to HACs considering their initial sig size, but it seems they need a little something, somewhere to help them out.


I see a lot of AFs. Generally when I explode them.

90%+ still run ABs.

^ Are those 1v1 frigate brawlers? If yes then it's obvious why they use AB. For a gang an AF would better work as a tackler where you need MWD.

Trampling on the corpse of Deimos.

As for the Vaga it is actually 140m with LSE II and 490 after MWD. Gives 0.197 STS ratio at All V and max speed while Vagnabal has 0.38 but due to the better inertia the difference isn't going to be that strong assuming both ships are orbiting at long point range. Cynabal also retains its additional med slot and superior dronebay on top of that.

DEV Ytterbium should declare which is the next class that will be looked at and when the rebalancing is coming out.
This is so we don't keep on getting irrelevant posts every day on classes which will not be looked at for a long time.

No need to commit to some kind of detailed schedule exactly when each class will be fixed. Just post when the next 1-2 classes will be fixed so people can direct their analysis to that class.
Or we will keep getting every day excited posts to fix BS, fix BCs, fix recons, fix Gallente, fix X, fix Y

So, when all of this is going out you ask? These changes will be out by the time the winter expansion hit, which will leave us in a very good shape to start overhauling tech 1 cruisers and battlecruisers next year, possibly earlier if things go well.

As an additional note and a follow-up from our previous balancing Dev Blog, we believe it is good for you to know we will not be changing the Destroyer / Battlecruiser skills for the winter expansion – such changes are to come only after these two ship classes have been properly rebalanced.
