Are they really keeping the damage type bonuses for the missile destroyers?

Seems kinda pointless when they are removing them on other ships, as part of the re-balance pass, in the same patch Roll

I think the neut bonuses are wasted on the Amarr ship, the Min and Caldari ships are a bit soft, and the Gallente ship is going to be the winner.

The only time the new Gallente destroyer is going to struggle a little is at close range, but that's what the Catalyst is for.

I have doubts about usefulness of Amarr neut/nos bonus as well. We'll see though.

Drone destroyers are so depressing.

The caldari dessie with rockets could rival the damage output of the catalyst and probably outdps most cruisers. Wolfpacks of either of the missile boats will be nasty.

The amarr drone boat is like a slightly bigger sentinel or a baby curse, nasty ship in 1v1s (even for taking down larger targets).

I forsee the gallente one being primarily a PvE platform as it doesn't have a dps advantage over the amarr boat in the way that the Vexor does over the Arbitrator.

Tried them out. Not impressed.

The buffed tier 1 destroyers are better and more reliable IMO.

It's far from being a waste. They will be like a mini curse, and the curse is awesome.

Minmatar and Caldari are meh...

Amarr and Gallente will be nice for new players to get into gang/solo pvp...

Play EvE how you want to play it and do not let others dictate how you play. Evolve your playstyle to protect yourself from others! Even in "PVE", "PVP" is there, lurking in the shadows.

Holy **** I'm going HAC hunting with the Amarr one as soon as they're released. Do we know whether slot layout has room for prop, point & TD?

Amarr has a really bad high slot layout as well. It's a mini neut phoon. Looks nice. That's about it.
