Dat Navy Vexor.

Paper Ishtar for far less money? i'll take that trade.

Why the insane Nomen nerf, was it really that good because I sure as hell didn't get much mileage out of them before they died. A full 25% gun dps hit for the Nomen, do you think that 5 more light drones makes up for that?
It goes from having 8 turret equivalent to a mere 6 .. why the hell don't you just molest it like vanilla Omen/Prophecy, make it into some silly drone boat and be done with it.

Just let one of them, in this case I guess that is the Aug, be a gun boat.

PS: What is the utility high on Nomen supposed to be for considering the obvious kiting paradigm? And where do you expect it gets cap to do anything other than kill a frig before needing to safe up to recharge, mandatory capbooster? Mind giving it a 4th mid if that is the case?
PPS: Bricks are awesome! Love me some bricks .. oh wai ...

Nice potential for diversity in Gallente, Caldari and Minmatar revisions but both the Amarr hulls are rammed so far up the pigeon hole that the sun shall never reflect in their golden skins .. sadness.

PPPS: At least the Slicer came out relatively unscathed, fearing for what will happen to the big dogs though if this is what CCP's thinking comes down to with regards to Amarr hulls.

Scythe looks like pure fun though, options for that one are through the roof. About time the misunderstood weapon split was addressed and given a proper showcase .. will be whines about "oh noes, my skill points!" but can't be helped

Dessie mobility AND damage, exact same damage as the Coercer only with ~2x the Range or so, unbonused drones are a liability, always has been so wouldn't rely on them to do much of anything (distractions can be gold though).

It seems somewhat odd from a lore perspective for the navy issue versions of Logistics ships to be combat ships. although if you don't see room for them between T1 and T2 logistics cruisers that's understandable.

Nomen damage bonus and turret loss is nice. Less cap use and about 20-30 sec more overheat, roughly.

Less crystals to buy too.



Even better heat performance on the Augoror.

The SFI is not a kiting platform ffs, you have the stabber and the Vaga for that, you should be orbiting at 500-1k with the SFI out tracking people.

L2goddamn play.

I have a feeling Fozzie just made it that way knowing it sucked just to appease the multitude of forum whiners from making the Hurricane/Cyclone single weapon ships. A kind of "look, this is how split weapons turn out, here you go, be happy" moment.

Of course there's a good amount of time so I wouldn't be surprised to see a buff in some way, as the new scythe FI seems worse than its counterparts from other factions. On the other hand, I could be wrong because that 5-5-5 slot layout does look really really sexy.

I also feel like the Stabber Fleet Issue doesnt need a nerf at all, it performs pretty well in it's current state, definitely looks to be competitive with the updated versions of the other navy cruisers.

The Myrm needs heavy/sentry 5 drones now, no reason it shouldn't. Now there are 2 cruisers with the ability to use 5 sentry/heavy drones.

I don't understand why the navy version of the support cruisers are not support cruisers them self... Can anybody explain it to me?

No, it'd compete far too much with upcoming Eos if it did, and the damage would be out of balance with its five turrets and large tank. In fact, the Myrm's tank is the advantage over the Navy Vexor. The Navy Vexor, while being a dps powerhouse, and probably a little more survivable due to the ability to dps from range with the drones, it's still going to be a glass cannon, and all that dps means nothing when the ship is dead.

Now, of course we can debate whether the Gallente active tanking role was really needed on both rebalanced BCs, since the Myrm or Brutix should have received something that makes it more fleet-friendly. But as it stands now, the Myrm is going to have the tank/soloing advantage over the Navy Vexor easily.

Besides, not all ships need to have the same in order to be competitive. You gotta realize that CCP doesn't make "one sausage" in different lengths. Each ship represents a different flavor of sausage altogether, and that gives choices, and choices for games are what make the game interesting, fun and unique.

No

Again:

It gets a %10 RATE OF FIRE bonus.

That means the duration is multiplied with 0.5 at Minmatar cruiser level 5.

Thats 8 effective turrets for you.

The ship goes 2400 with a single MWD and its guns outdps a cyna.

Scythe has effectively 4 damage bonuses, split in 2 for each weapon type.
