Don't see a issue here they leveled gall ship not to have ewar and drones it would makeit op and usable as solo boat anyone that don't see this is frankly not trying for some reasons.

for the rest of changes i can only wait and see.

They arent even available on the test server yet. hold your horses and go spew rage someplace else.

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

Talos compared to the Thorax with Sisi stats...
+1k EHP (+<10%... welp)
+60% Signature Radius
+85m/s /w MWD
+0.3 seconds align time
+1 slot
-50m3 Drones

This may not end well.

CCP, by dropping the web bonus and drones you have brought the talos in line with what the rest of gallente has been for 8 years.

Leave them on there and if the ship is OP then tweak PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't pre-nurf the Gallente boat. a lot of people were looking forward to this buff to a Gallente ship

Thanks!

personally now that there are 3 tiers of bc's i would hope ccp balance them like this:

tier one have bs hitpoint but crusier damage

tier two have more then crusier hitpoints/damage but less then battleship hitpoints/damage

tier three have bs damage but crusier hit points...

If it makes your feel any better its still faster than a Maelstrom...and about twice as agile.

Thorax: 5 medium turrets, 5 medium drones.
Talos: 8 large turrets.

Is that a fair tradeoff? Sure, I'd like to see the "mini vindicator" comment come to fruition. Perhaps CCP figured that a webifier bonus wasn't going to play into the role that they wanted to fill with this ship?

Interest in flying any of these has gone to 0. Might as well just fly a tier 2 bc or a hac. These new ships no longer offer anything with these stats.

Could be. Webber means close range means blaster.

Effectively another diemost or brutix.

If they are supposed to be anti-cap weapons, that likely didn´t work out. And if using talos for it´s role resulted usually in instadeath and the other ships did far better because they didn´t have to close in, they are probably going for a railfit now and looking how that´s working out.

I got lost in thought... it was unfamiliar territory.

Tbh web bonus AND bs sized guns sounds a little overpowered to me. We dont want a bc that makes all the other obsolete now do we?

Are the fitting slot layouts also known?

If we get at least 1 utility high slot it will be hard to dissapoint me..

People should stop bitching about sisi data dumps and see the ORIGINAL CONTENT that is coming rather then complaining on some "tests"

All ships get the same number of slots. 8 highs full of weapons (nothing stopping you from creating your own utility high there) and the same mids/lows as most tier 1 battlecruisers. So no, just about enough to fit a standard tank or gank +tackle fit really.

People go "OMG" it has BS sized guns!!

Which means fuckall without context. The main advantage of BS guns is range. Commandships or T3's can achieve "battleship" dps (or tank) with medium guns with the right bonuses. The problem with the Talos is that 1, rails suck and will continue to suck even with the current iteration of changes - blasters don't really provide the type of range needed to distinguish it's self from medium turrets in any context. Which was why the web and drones kinda helped.

I also question the cruiser stats... CCP, have you even begun to look into how and why t1 cruisers are (not) flown?

Pattern seriously calm yourself down and just keep checking the changes.

If CCP should release ships as they was originaly deployed in SiSi this game should be broken years ago. Hell i even remember when the first versions of the hyperion came with a 2k extra shield and half the regen than a common raven back in the day.

So according to the latest SISI data dump, all the tier 3 BATTLE CRUISERS lost some speed, HP and had some of their bonuses turned down...

Most notable of all was the Talos... Losing it's web bonus AND drones...

Either CCP Tallest is preparing one hell of a hybrids boost iteration or gallente specced pilots are in for a long cold hard winter...

What?



FFS leave CCP alone and do their job. You know that according with the 1st stats the Caldari BC had one more slot then all the other BC's ? You think that was balanced? Quit whining, seat back and relax... Roll

Haha, so with the latest build:

Naga loses hybrid tracking bonus and the torp explosion velocity bonus, leaving it with just hybrid optimal and missile velocity.
Oracle loses laser optimal and tracking, gains cap use and damage.
Talos loses the web bonus, gains tracking.
Tornado's bonuses are unchanged.

So the Talos become worthless and the Naga more worthless. While clearly the best ship, the Tornado, is unchanged. Oh, they even cut the Talos's speed!

Sure, we could ignore these numbers as work in progress. But I ignored the projectile changes when they were being tested, as I thought they were clearly overpowered and would never make it into the game like that... oh.
