Looking good kil2, 6 gun, 7 high 10% dmg per level Brutix Style Bonus was not expected but is pretty much spot on with many of the proposals us vets have been throwing at you. Thanks for listening, 7-5-7 Hyperion with 125m3 bandwidth is going to be rather beast. Like you stated, I also agree that this iteration may be "too strong". I'd suggest dropping the bay from 175m3, down to 150m3 or even 125m3. In combination with the Utility high I think that 50m3 of back up drone space may be a bit over the top. Either way, It's a far more sensible proposal than the original. Good work bro, and sorry for all the "rable rable rable".


As for the Mega? 7-4-8 with a ROF and 75m3 is ok however I think a 8-4-7 layout with rof and 100m3 would be better. The 8th low slot combined with a rof bonus is going to be excessive imo. 3x 1600mm with 2x eanm, and a dcu, with 2x mag stabs will be the norm. 1300 dps with 120k+ ehp should be easily attainable, might be a bit too much umph for an "attack BS" Either way I like it a bit more than the original proposal, so good work.

Now about that geddon.... Turret dmg, drone dmg, and a 6-4-8 with 6 turret layout please.

i approve these changes, well done for listening Kil2

The Hyperion looks nice, but in my opinion that 5th medslot, 7th lowslot and suddenly spare utility slot way outweighs the damage loss and the Hyperion does NOT need 5 heavy drones. 75-100mbit should be more than plenty.

I really liked your first iteration much better and I honestly doesn't see why having only 4 medslots on an armor tanker is so horrible? Yes, I get it, the ship need 2 cap boosters, a MWD and targets preferrably webbed and scrambled - But isn't battleships supposed to have support ships? Anyway as long the Hyperion gets the 7th lowslot and doesn't get to outperform the other races I like the change. Just be carefull not taking the Gallente whines too seriously or you will end up with 2-3 obsolete races and Gallente won't be one of them...

The Megathron - 8 lowslots? You lost me right here... I already lost faith in you from seing the suggested attack battlecruiser changes but if this thing goes live you are not only breaking the Amarr ship trait of having the best armor tankers with the most lowslots but you are also breaking the game in favor of Gallente. The Megathron is already slaughtering people left and right in it's current form. Please make the Megathron back to 8/4/7 with 7 guns or 7/5/7 also with 7 guns.

You do realize that whenever you give a ship less turrets and tweak the damage bonus to compensate you have suddenly created enough slots to severely obsolete the battleships from other races, right? I am very concerned with the Gallente balance against the other 3 races. I liked your first itereation much, much better and this looks like panic control to avoid drama.

That Megathron is an abomination for game balance!!

Or you run missions in your hyper like I do. The armor rep bonus helps there. Dont just think of the PVP implications of all the ships, there are a lot of people who will only ever use these ships to run level 4 missions

There will always be great ships to PvE in. You can't balance with PvE in mind.

Meh

No, it's not. While I agree that 8 lows is very un-Gallente, please note that only Raven, Scorpion and Tempest have less armor HP than the new Mega.

The number of lows alone are not enough to make it a heavy armor tanker like Geddon and especially nothing close to the Abaddon.

Aren't Dominix missing a slot? All other ships have 19, while Dominix only have 18.

CCP have said it, Eve is primary about PVP, besides they're plenty of alternatives for PvE, and it won't destroy the hyperion if it removed.

Chalk that up to someone's idea of "utility drones"
