Fozzie, are you concerned that giving the thrasher the same treatment as the rifter may leave it in a similar spot with respect to its rivals? (Sorry to be negative. Everything except the old dessies looks pretty awesome. Also, the corax may need more fittings.)

"Command and conquer"

When we're finished with tech 1 hulls we are going to start looking into more advanced roles.

So you say TECH ONE hulls? Were are the capitals? last i checked they are t1 only...
i'm just wondering is all like everyone else is... Sad

Were are the capitals! they are tech one... ShockedSadEvil

exploration line is eerily untouched. ive always wanted sort of an exploration 'mothership' type battleship setup akin to a modified black ops hull. ohwell. nothing new then~

Nice summary, ty.

I'm initially a little concerned the MJD being warp disruptor-proof could end up with it being like a dual-purpose Warp Core Stabilizer for big ships. Though I've not seen the related discussion thread so that might be unfair. Hunting for it now...brb.

Regards,
Sparks

Edit: It does seem like it will be a pretty potent GTF option for large ships. Warp Disruptors have given us the ability to tackle outside heavy neut and web range, and with any single tackling ship. Now a scram will be need to prevent larger ships being able to micro jump far enough away that they may be able to align and conventionally warp off before getting re-tackled. That's quite a big change.

How to balance freighters:

Add two low slots
knock 25% off the capacity (or so).
increase the max velocity by about 20%.
Knock the structure down by 30% or so.

Give it
CPU 70
PG 2


Means people can pick between tank, align time and cargo space.

Woo! CSM XI!

The maller will still mostly be bait

The cap makes it to gimpy for anything else really except for niche fleet roles.


It does require a small cap booster, but it is still an excellent heavy cruiser. Omen fills the role of the lighter, quicker ship while Maller is very viable for something like a BS/BC fleet with remote repairs. It probably still wont be used all that much by older players (maller/augoror fleet is pretty cool though), but I do think it is an important stepping stone ship for newer players.

Keep up the good work Fozzie!


And then it can't fit proper tackle, thus a gimpy niche ship

Same as before but now it can do 400 dps for five seconds before it caps out instead of 250.



Is there some rule that all small t1 amarr ships must be gimpy **** that wont work unless you have someone with you to make up for your lack of midslots? Because if so i really dislike that rule.

Regarding the flow chart, you guys aren't going to balance the fusion cube in Star Trek Armada 2? Lame.

The Micro Jump Drive is a new propulsion module that allows a ship to teleport forward 100km. This module can be used in bubbles or while disrupted but not while warp scrambled, basically following the same rules as the existing Microwarpdrive. The MJD also has a spool up time and cooldown that must be waited between uses.


If we can't bubble them then every ship will use it to get out of trouble. for capital ship can't jump will being buble or disrupted.
Why should you now be able to jump inside a bubble? It should follow the principles of jump or warp not the MWD.

7 minutes without MWD, still 10k more tank than other cruisers, you could also switch to focused mediums with 1600mm plate giving you 15k (!) extra ehp and cap stability for slightly decreased damage.

Looks good. This is going to really change things up. Sucks that it looks like every weapon group aside from Hybrids is getting love though. Cry

Can we get more details on the module balances? Just curious if any of the new modules will be viable or not, for example:

The Reactive Armor Hardener will now react twice as quickly to incoming damage as well as costing less cap to activate as the Armor Resistance Phasing skill is trained higher.

More details plz.

The Corax will have a kinetic misile dmg bonus, now unlike all other Caldari missile boats? Odd.

Otherwise, happy happy, joy joy! The proof is in the pudding, but these seem good. (What do I know?)
