I noticed that my Pilgrim will get better. I also noticed that I now have a reason to train Light Missiles.

A professional astro-bastard was not available so they sent me.

I am aware of the Caldari one. Need to see the other three

Pictures are out there. But when duality opens up for players new videos should be uploaded before the weekend is out.

Does this not negate everything you have already said about HML's, range and damage projection considering this is following the current trends and not the new path you guys were trying to lay down?


Think these ships are meant to operate with precisions what would the range be with this type of ammo fitted?


No, Light missiles are getting a boost to explosive velocity already this patch, and then this ship gets an added boost to hitting small fast targets

And i was wrong, it hits up to 260 dps at 57km w/o rigs/TCs

Ironically, this thing post changes is going to come awfully close to the drake in both dps and range with far less training time


And be instapopped by anything that looks at it at that range.

Its actually in line with the difference between turret dessies and turret bcs. Coercer rocks in at 209 dps with max ramge ammo 41k optimal, and it doesn't even have a damage bonus. Dessies are meant to be high dps, its what hey are for.

if only there were light sentry drones :)

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

I hope you mean sentinel....

Anyway considering ishkur is a frig murderer even without a drone damage bonus i think you seriously underestimate drones.

Can you please, at length, go into the reasoning behind gimping Gallente drone bay. If you are going to gimp them so much please make loading turrets and missiles from cargo holds invalid and add a ammo bay. Then you can make it so that other races can only reload 1.5 times before they have to go and resupply. Also make it so that when they warp off that the ammo in their guns gets ejected. That way the entire fleet has to go back and resupply at the same time. Mood and fleet killer for every ship.

thats what i am saying!

give us light sentry drones...

make them like regular ones have less dps then scouts... but better range... and make them really slow...

plus give us a role bonus to thier optimal ranges....

that way i can also put nuets on the high slots but they wont have any bonus...

I can fly one but I hear they're shite, so... I just like the idea of missile spam from the Caldari dessie here. It's looking pretty awesome.

No, I've used them constantly, and then they get left at gates, or blown up, or the spend 90% of the fight chasing a frigate that is barely moving but won't drop out of their MWD orbit so they can actually track/shoot the stupid thing.

If drones could produce reliable, delayed DPS like missiles do, they would be much more viable, as is, they are ridiculous.

wut? The drone boats will out dps them all. Even not fitting any guns they will pull 300 dps. Theysuffers the normal drone drawbacks but dps is certainly not one of them

The Gallente destroyer doesnt cut it. It will be hard to make rails work on the Gallente dessy due to no tracking bonus. It is also the largest destroyer at 72m. And it only has 4 turrets out of 6 high slots. I'm not impressed.

You can't just look at straight dps numbers, look at applicable dps. It is the same reason you don't see 1600DPS drone domi's out there with Ogre IIs all the time.

Looks like the Amarr and Minmatar ones will reign supreme, but i'm glad they gave them all a bit of racial flavour rather than just homogenising them like the rebalanced scanning frigs.

I think the Gallente destroyer has an interesting niche ability to be the most effective frig killer. Damage and range bonused guns, and damage bonused drones - and it has a good slot layout. It is definitely NOT a balanced ship, but frankly I think we have enough "balanced" ships in the game already.

if you have trouble with drone tracking just do the recall and engage trick... works for me...

if you dont want them to be lost at a gate click recall then warp... they will be moved but you will not loose them and when you warp back they will come home...

though drone hp is a problem... i wish you could use nano repair paste on them while they are docked in your drone bay so you can repair them that way...

also try webbers and TP if you are having problems appling drone dps...
