That's really funny, because the "standard" 3 Gyro Vaga-cane with 425s/Barrage does significantly less DPS than the 100mn Talos does. All things (links/implants) equal, the Vaga-cane is slower, has approximately the same agility*, and has a much larger sig radius.


It's really amazing and I'm totally surprised that everyone isn't flying a 100mn talos. I mean how long will it be til everyone catches on?

Want to fix the Vagabond and "Most" other hacs in 1 easy to implement fix?





Give them a role bonus toward they're "niche" for instance the Vagabond could get a mwd reduction bonus similar to all AF's.




Making kiting 50% more effective





And on a side note we have anti ECM skills now, can we get sig reduction skills next? :)


We already have plenty of armor and shield skills, We need to control the sig!!!!

It requires people to actually pilot their ships. That's kinda a problem.

You would think that people would try the incredible 100mn talos and die with it, rather than not using it at all?

I think the 100mn fit is a mitigation/avoidance tank and is thus very powerful in the right hands. However, it requires skill to use and a lot of people are more comfortable betting on having "800 DPS and 30k EHP" and calling it a day. Their choice isn't necessarily wrong, but that doesn't mean mine is either. ;-)

Oh okay, outside of amamake? I'd be happy to be proved wrong if people were actually roaming around killing stuff with them. That's without having stupidly expensive implants and outside of camping 1 single system.

Still, yes.

Ed: Look, I know that literally nothing will ever actually make you happy with the fit. You feel like talking **** about it. Gooooo ahead. Enjoy. I've got better **** to do than argue with idiots.

So who uses it outside of amamake? Admittedly I've taken a break from the game but I really haven't seen any 100mn ab talos'.

The condor fit is kinda cool by the way.

That's a shame, I enjoy reading your insightful and/or troll posts, and I'm sure I'm not alone,

You'll be back soon, you're way too addicted to those forums,

You obviously didn't look at my previous forum posting history. It's been, what, 6 months since I was what I'd consider to be active on these forums? Anyway, I'm sure I'll be around - I just don't have time to argue about pointless ****.
