It's cool but it's pretty expensive and not all that much better than a mega because of the weird slot layout. Of course you can shield tank it but then it wastes a bonus. The hype could probably do with having a slot moved or by having the rep bonus changed to something else.



By this logic the geddon could use some mid-slot love too...just reversed

I think the cov-ops cloak makes up for its deficiencies when compared to Heron, it reaaaaly comes in handy in low and null

By what logic? And why would it mean that the geddon needs an extra mid?

They just rebalanced more than 40 ships in a few months, it won't take that long.

Especially since they've already blogged about what they want to do with BC's and BS's, and quite a few battleships won't be getting changed much.

haste makes waste.

no
lazyness takes time

so what if they fail with balancing if they do it quickly? they can fix that quickly too
what if they take the time and still fail at balancing maybe your grandchild can see the next balance patch ....
time doesnt mean it will be done right , it just means you have to wait too long to play with your toy

btw did anybody look at those t1 cruisers/frigs to see if they are balanced to eachother or not?
just let us know what to expect, continue of the winmatard trend or other races can get their fare share this time

As soon as they built the current balancing team, things started happening not only fast, but with rather stellar quality.

This last rebalancing passes is one of the best things ever happened to EVE, and I have full confidence that the same guys will give us the rest of the ships as soon as possible. Needless to say that balancing ships is much more involved process than simply giving a slot here and remove one there, and adjusting some stats.

And like written above and in dev blogs, they are already at work.

Furthermore I'm perfectly happy flying my T2 ships as they are now.

Relax and be patient.

It's already way better than it used to be. Most t2 ships are still useful if a tad overpriced (EW ships in particular, but HACs too). While they've been hurt by the T1 cruiser buff, they've been helped by the drake/cane nerfs and will be helped even more when Tier 2 battlecruisers lose that slot.

After 80+% of tech 1 ships being completely useless since I started playing, I'm perfectly OK with a few T2 ships being slightly underwhelming for a little while.
