The sad bit is even if your supposed glass cannon (with the current stats and bonuses anyway) starts out at point-blank range against a non-moving target AND manages to apply the full paper dps which is almost never the case, you still haven't got a prayer of beating a nanocane in a point blank fight. And if you start out at anything other than point blank, even if you do manage to get into range you're still going to lose. And if the hurricane chooses the absolute worst possible ammo to use against you, your EHP is about even -- you may eke out a win. Barely. Did I mention the nanocane is faster in this configuration? With better range? Better tracking obviously. And two utility slots, great for anti-frigate defenses like neuts.

Even with a couple years worth of Gallente cruiser+ short range uselessness, CCP still manages to implement what I might even dare say is the worst blaster platform yet. It might find some use in a blob to prevent runners from getting back to the gate, but that's all

TL;DR
New short range blaster boat sucks at short range. Like every other blaster boat larger than a frigate. I'll probably put light neutrons on mine to surprise the frigates thinking Tier 3 bc will be easy kills

Packaged in a hauler to sell it, if that.

Large Hybrid V and the way it looks now I probably won't fly this very much at all.

The oracle and tornado look like the better ships and even the naga has better hybrid bonuses. Only 5% to large hybrid damage so even downsizing the turrets to mediums to overcome the lack of any tracking bonuses makes no sense. But hey there is the web bonus, sure, good idea, except you will need to use a web that costs more than the entire ship and all its fittings to have any hope of actually webbing something and even then your chances are poor cuz you will be slower than snail **** cuz ur armor tanked.

Maybe shield tanked so it can actually catch something and hopefully there are some more inviting targets for my enemies to shoot at so I don't get alpha'd before I can even turn my guns on.

Did you use the proposed stats for Blasters?

Same as all blaster boats, warp to zero, web, destroy.

Not much good for chasing stuff down but thats not really it's job.

The Talos is actually quite fast, 1600 plate + trimarks (your typical tank on one) and your matching the speed of a nanocane, sans the plate and trimarks its faster than a nanocane. Thats fast enough to catch stuff.

But yeah, basic playstyle, warp to 0, web, destroy.

As with all of the tier 3 BCs speed and small sig is part of its tank, none of them can fit large buffers. Active tanks might also be an option for some fits.

1160 dps, 39k ehp, 1332 m/s with MWD, 200m sig radius, can run MWD for 3m 10s, cap stable with MWD off

Whats not to like. Its already borderline OP, giving it more tank would make it unbalanced. There is absolutely no reason not to fit the largest size BS gun on any of the tier 3 BCs, they fit better than they do on most BS.

I especially like the part where the tracking script working with a 90% web + scram makes you able to hit just about anything :P.
Not even frigates will be safe!

90 % webs are fun! <3
