The Frutix has some very nice stats, and could well serve as low-SP option for small armor gangs. Tracking bonus is damn sweet <3

However I strongly oppose these awful camo paint jobs. Please, please design proper color schemes for the navies, cheap jungle camo is an insult to these ships.

And now you have to make Eos use the Myrm hull as base :)

Well the faction Brutix is going to cost a lot more than a Mega. So yes on stats alone it will potentially obsolete a Megathron, you know in the same way that the Proteus has obsoleted pretty much every Gallente ship on the game. I've never seen any Gallente pilot not flying a Proteus.


Love the amount of confusion these ships are causing. The amount of completely contrary posts saying these ships are under/over powered is hilarious!

I don't quite understand what niche these things are supposed to fill

Looking at the lp prices they will end up costing almost as much as a command ship and.. Well i don't see why you would get a slightly buffed up hurricane when you can get a sleipnir for the same price =/

All in all these ships seem rather redundant and boring, not really adding any significant value.

They are primarily aimed at players with more ISK or LP than SP. One does not simply jump into a command ship. They are also more commonly used in PVE than PVP.

I wouldn't be so sure about that the price of the mega will increase after patch im sure to at least 200mil plus mods and rigs you're talking closer too 300mil i doubt a navy brutix will cost that much.

The confusion means CCP has done their job correctly. It is almost a perfect balance because noone really knows which way this is going to swing.

Not another Brutix with less tank.

Where would/could they go with a Navy Myrmidon?
Turret damage bonus with 125Mbps? Would that not step on the Role of the Ishtar, the Eos? Pure Drone ship? That is the Navy Vexor or the Dominix.
The Navy Brutix is a very nice ship.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

CCP Ytterbium the tank on these are as good if not better when sig and mobility are included ..
- either nerf T1 bc's tank and then theses navy bc's inline with them or
- buff battleships tanks across the board by 25%.

Otherwise why use a bs when a navy bc will do the job better for similar price or less?

I think the Brutix NI should be 756, and the Harbinger NI 747. Why are amarr and gallente swaping their flavor ? :-(

Also, Myrmidon hull instead of Brutix, unless you turn the Eos into a Myrmidon hull.

All of these are great, except for this:

The Brutix Faction variant is un-needed. All the other ships are previous Tier 2 ships, and therefore have no Tech 2 variant.

Faction Myrmidon needs to be the Faction choice, as the Brutix faction will suffer in the same way as the Stabber-> Stabber Fleet -> vagabond conundrum.

Svo.

and what conundrum would that be?

Stabber = cheap kiter
Stabber Fleet = Slightly more expensive kiter with better damage or kill ALL THE FRIGATES armor dual 180 cruiser
Vagabond = Fast ******* kiter with decent dps... Until 3 MWD cycles later when youre out of cap. Meh still can be innovative.

So conundrum?

...

Eventually, you can also fix the missile system instead of giving bonuses that should be included in the base missile.

A drake more expensive, with less DPS and less tank ? Seriously ? Oh sorry, it gets bonus speed (bonus compared to the drake's base speed that has been nerfed), should be worth it !... Or not.

Deception, deception...

Bah, I wasn't intending to fly it anyway, missiles are crap in PvP.
