  • Why choosing the Brutix instead of the Myrmidon as a Navy hull?

  • Internal discussion resulted in favor of the Brutix since we felt it represented the Gallente combat doctrine more accurately with close range hybrids. A Myrmidon Navy Issue could also have been problematic to balance without overstepping on the Dominix, Vexor Navy Issue or even turret ships.

    Ytterbium, using the Myrmidon hull does not force you to make it a drone boat. You could perfectly use the Myrm hull with the stats you have here.

    I actually think that Eos should rather use Myrmidon hull since it's going to be dedicated droneboat, or so I heard.

    i have always thought that the command ship should have used the (at the time) 2 BC hull, like astarte -> brutix, eos -> myrm etc... (same for the other races)

    now, i would have LOVED that the navy BC had been based on myrm (even if not a drone boat, but i would have loved that too)

    in a nutshell, stop screwing gallente, give us another myrm hull, this ship IS the emblematic BC for gallente, not the brutix

    It is mostly matter of personal taste. I love brutix hull much more than myrmidon hull. And Brutix also follows old gallente guideline being nose-heavy.

    Also former tier 2 battlecruisers were introduced after the command ships were in the game. I completely agree that were they introduced now they probably would have different hulls.

    That said, dont touch my drones spamming brutix hull...

    but i want a T2 myrm, c'mon, there are already so much "brutix" in that game.... and the BC drone boat for gallente is myrm so....

    considering these are effectively attack bc's all there tracking bonuses and extra mobility these do an uncharacteristic tank considering that
    These are what the T1 attack bc's should be minus the tank .
    The current ABC's talos etc should be T2 specialization.

    'Tech3 ships need to be put down, like a rabid dog drooling everywhere in the house, they are out of line' CCP Ytterbium Nerf missile range into place where is the TD missile change?  ..projectiles should use capacitor. ABC's should be T2 HABC and nerf web strength its still too high

    So the harbinger gets 50% dmg AND a tracking bonus, the brutix gets 50% dmg AND a tracking bonus, the hurricane gets.... 25% ROF, 25% dmg..... something seem off here?

    What is off? RoF bonuses are way better than damage bonuses.

    Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

    RoF/Dam on Hurricane equates to a 66.67% dps increase, bring bigger ammo stacks though because RoF + Autos will bleed you dry right quick Smile

    Pretty sure the 50% damage + tracking option was discarded for the Cane as that would just encourage massive artillery abuse to a point where med AC market collapse (slight exaggeration for effect).

    I'll take a 25% ROF bonus, tracking bonus and a 7th gun!

    Yeah its less DPS than the current iteration, but the flexibility in having tracking makes up for it IMHO.

    Honestly i would like that 4 mid and 7 low harbinger more with 10% hp bonus per level. Not sure harbinger needs 5 mids. I mean sure extra cap booster is nice and all but i think 1 was good enough. Other than that i like those ships. +1

    Honestly that sounds massively OP the tank it would have.

    The HUrricane is far far far inferior to the other Navy cruisers. It got its only slot back but not all its old PG. So it basically cannot fit properly that slot.

    Its simply a wasted time and effort that ship. The masses of whiners cryign nerf nerf nerf to minmatar on these years made that.. made CCP as ALWAYS overreact.

    Very insightful and very loaded with knowledge and arguments you answer is. No wonder you are not taken seriously .

    On the other hand it wasn't very insightful but ... it was correct. How long it must go that minmatar ships must be best in every single aspect in this game. Time to enjoy a bit Losematarness for once.

    Yeah i agree , that's why i said i'm happy anyway. That was just "it would be cool". Maybe don't bring 10% hp bonus , leave tracking but give it 7 th low instead of 5th mid. I cannot be only one that would enjoy such change ;). But it's not like world gonna colapse if he will go live like that. It's not bad.

    It must suck that the Navy Cane can nuet out the Harb and Brutix if it gets close enough (which it can, because it's faster than the other two). Carry on.

    It lacks the Cap and PG of the old cane so that isn't very likely
