EVE General Discussion

i was just wondering , now with the upcoming hybrid changes , how will the rohk improve, one of the best looking battleships but long time the black sheep of the battleships
any opinions?

Looks like the Rail Rokh will do 10% more damage, and have better cap; the Blaster Rokh will have 20% better tracking, and the guns will fit easier; and it will be a little faster but align a little slower. That's what we're seeing so far.

And if you are calling the Rokh a black sheep, you are probably forgetting about the Apocalypse. Though to be fair, those two were formerly kings of nullsec back in the sniper-BS days, and may come back into a strong role vs sniping third-tier-BC gangs once again.




Actually, with how small and nano-y they look, Battleships won't be that great an option since they will probably have some difficulty tracking. HACs, more conventional battlecruisers, and T3s will probably be more useful... except at range, where Battleships will be the most solid and direct answer to the 3TBC sniping threat.

Haha, you know, I've seen people say that every single one of these ships will be **** compared to the others now. All of them. Only saw one guy saying the Talos will be ****, though... and he was wrong. I think they are all pretty good, and right now I'm mostly worried about THOSE WEBS hrrrnnnggh

Yeah, me too. My guess is the Hel is getting a more relative bonus, and the Naglfar is getting a tad more tank. Just a hunch.

I should have reserved like 4 or 5 posts at the start of the thread, the content portion is a monster; both of those posts become too large to post if i add so much as a sentence to them.

Sod off, tbh. If you're saying that the little jump forward they made as you landed from warp ruined the entire experience for you, in a visual engine made in 2003, then I guess your inability to simply enjoy anything for being pretty is a mental issue.

Not that engine trails are just pretty. They can give a much better image of relative motion, who is moving what direction and how you can avoid/run into them. Currently it can be pretty difficult to see which way someone is going when you yourself are moving.

Well, you might be bitter and angry about everything all the time, but I liked them, as did most other people I know. Stop your whining and go back to missioning.

I play on some of the highest resolutions available, and it can sometimes be very difficult to tell which way someone is going, especially when zoomed out and nano-ing or when trying to bump someone who is moving. Sure the shape of the ship tells you in most cases, but if you can't get a good look at their ship zoomed out, good luck to you. Like I said. You are entirely wrong.

I'm not sure where you learned how computers work... but lowering my resolution will only make it harder to see.

And, "truly do not belong"? Well I hate to break it to you, but this is a game. The vacuum of space in EVE has serious wind resistance that rapidly slows you down when you turn your engines off, all ships will sit "upright" in the same orientation, and ships bank to turn. Stop your b++++ing and silence your silly complaints.

Oh, and it's not 10 times light speed. Even freighters, the slowest ships in EVE, warp at 374 times the speed of light.

Even a shield hurricane is marginally slower than a plated Talos, as well as less agile (before nanos anyway). Plus a Talos has better tank*gank, and plenty of capacitor. An armor Hurricane could win in a brawl but can't keep it tackled with those webs, and simply cannot keep up once the Talos starts running.

If there is anyone thats going to have a MASSIVE erection over the hybrid rebalancing its you X gal

Also an update from Navigator about the Crow model. He originally posted that it was not a CCP model but corrected himself today.



And a link to an image of the model that I exacted from the build and rendered using the proper textures and materials from the .red file.
