have to agree here. the mentor looks like the big brother of the ugly duckling "Tormentor". never liked that one also. still the other designs rock.

I like how everyone is saying that T3 BCs will be the new gank boat, when it is obvious they will cost more than current hulk gank boats and they are ignoring the number one change that really will increase ganking...... wait for it...... DESTROYER BUFF.

Yep you whining carebears have over looked the serious new threat to your precious little hulks. Instead of having blaster/drone vexors being top hulk gankers, the significant increase in damage from dessies will allow for a very cheap and just as powerful raw gank boat. Think of being able to gank a hulk for 2~5 mill with almost no skills (using small guns) in comparison to the current best vexor which requires much better medium gun skills, AND drone if you want to top it off.

Yes dessies will probably become the new top gank boat, and with such low skill reqs, i think we will see a lot more people creating noob accounts/alts to use for hulk slaughtering (the real test is can you create a hulk busting dessie char in 21 days :D)

Not everyone is thinking of Hulks when they talk about suiciding. It's far from the most prevalent/profitable type of suiciding; when talking about the new 3TBCs being fantastic for suiciding, it's suiciding haulers and freighters on gates that we're thinking of. The advent of a new, cheaper ship capable of fitting 8 large artillery will make the Tornado disproportionately popular and it will probably remain as the most expensive of the four ships for a significant amount of time, as its demand will rise sharply the moment it costs less than the Apocalypse.

I officially eat my words. Also, these new ships are awesome.


they could still go for an inverse marauder concept.

half damage / double rate of fire -> same dps half the alpha

to make sure they're not becoming the new ganksters FOTM

That would be a horrible nerf, as it would require an utterly MIND-BOGGLING amount of ammunition. If you think loading up ammunition for PVP on an 8-gun ship costs money NOW, just imagine...

Yeah, I think the design for the Oracle is one of the best submissions there was for the contest.

I really do hope ccp doesn't give the oracle that ****** non bonus of 10% less cap use
since everyone will use a cap booster on that anyway in pvp that bonus is just gimping the ship badly
and why the hell are they removing even more hp from them they already are close to being useless with their cruiser hp

PS: give them their own class

WTC... if you look at that file and compare the nerfed agility values on hybrid ships to Tranq, they're not just losing a potential agility buff, they're being nerfed... all of them.

I get the theory of blaster boats being fast enough to get in range to pew pew, but not very agile... but the speed they've been given is really not enough to constitute this kind of nerf.

Agility = inertia modifier, and lower = better.
so they're BUFFING the ships, not nerfing them.

I don't buy that. So you're saying the Atron with a 2.92 inertia modifier is less agile than the Megathron with 0.128 inertia... cause lower is better?

yeah... now i'm confused and possibly dumb. I just checked and as a quick example the ishkur has a higher inertia modifier compared to the ranis which means the numbers don't work like i think...

does the number have to be compared to the mass or something to get the real picture?

it's inertia modifier and ship mass that determines your agility. if a megathron had the inertia modifier of an atron it would take minuted for it to warp. and if the atron had the inertia of the mega it would more or less instawarp.

"Agility" is dependent on the product of the inertia modifier and the ship's mass; the smaller the product, the higher the agility.

The Atron's "agility" is 2.92*1164000 = 3398880
The Mega's "agility" is 0.128*98400000 = 12595200

The Atron is slightly less than 4 times as agile as the Mega because while it has a bigger inertia modifier, it also has a much much lower mass.
