Yea i know its better but I'm trying to put these changes into terms the lvl 4 mission runners and mechanic nubbin crowd might understand because one guy literally honest to go was mad that its not a fall off bonus....on lasars.


And what makes you think that a person like that would understand any argument that wasn't constructed of colours and smells?

i like smells, did you know if you lick your wrist, and wait 10 seconds to sniff it you can tell what your breath smells like.



And yea, i know you tried it.

Well I've been moderately converted.
I do believe (which I didn't before) that the tracking bonus on the Apoc and Napoc is an improvement over what we had before.
I still believe however that lasers are in need of a lot of work.


I'm glad you've taken that perspective. CCP Rise has already definitely assered that lasers are going to get a balancing pass (I hope this rsults in lasers being the prototype for tierciding modules).

For the record, we voiced concerns that a ship with a tracking bonus AND a range bonus was a significant risk to balance.





range bonus .. really .. apoc with scorch is mdoin something like 500 dps.. now that is a shame to even say that my battleship does 500 dps...

but to be honest ... all you have to do is put amarr next to gallente tier for tier, battleships ofc.. now all you have to do is choose..

either amarr is too nerfed or gallente is too buffed..

Yeah it's amost like an advantage in one area is balanced by a disadvantage in other areas.

Hey there, I see you're the leader of the local brain trust so tell me, how much DPS does a Megathron do at 50km?

Do you think its more or less than any, ANY Amarr BS can do at 50km?

do you warp 50 km away from an apoc in a mega to start a fight with it?

The idea with the Tempest is that it fits really well into a lot of armor based compositions, acting more or less like an armor Maelstrom. It still has higher alpha than the Typhoon, with a lot more hp and similar utility. It goes a lot faster than the other combat battleships and has much smaller sig, so it definitely isn't eclipsed completely.

I can understand why some of you might want something with a bit more pop and I promise to talk with Fozzie and the rest of the department to make sure we're happy with this form before Odyssey goes out.


what does it matter if you talk with them when you guys obviously hate the tempest hulls?

i was really hopeing you doe something awesome at least to the navy hull but this is beyond ridiculous.
but it disapoints even more than the tech 1, cause it hints the promeised buffs to the tech 1 hull will be margrinal.
haveing higer mass at same multiplier than apo navy is just another slap on the face.

My friend, i dont know if you've been told, but you can't always pick what range you engage at, and your argument works both ways, the mega and most gallente ships are pigeon holed into one role, specialized for one purpose, up close brawling.

The new geddon is capable of reaching 1k dps without much effort at all, at pretty staggering ranges, the Apoc and Napoc will obliterate things inside of about 80-100km, regardless of the size, and the Abbadon is still the bulldozer of battleships, dealing a staggering amount of DPS while having a HUGE tank on it.

I'd take any of those any day of the week over any Gallent BS hull.

I have never been against the new Apocalypse but I have wondered from the start why it wasn’t given a range and a tracking bonus which was just answered by a CSM. I am not going to be totally sold on the optimal and tracking bonuses until I see the rebalanced lasers as it still reads a little sketchy in application because we can’t plug in the right numbers to get an accurate feel or chart of what it really can do and I want to see the cap/fitting requirements too. Other than that the Amarr line up is starting to look stronger than a few days ago at least. But if laser weapons remain so easily countered none of it matters.

Let's talk Navy Mega.

Why use it over any of the other navy ships? What role does it fill exactly that another navy ship does not do better?

SCORPION NAVY ISSUE
The Navy Scorpion is taking the ‘combat’ role for Caldari, and more or less staying in its current form. It will pick up an extra low slot, since it was slot deficient for no reason before. In light of the coming cruise missile change, we are a bit concerned with the power level for the Scorp, so we’ll be keeping a close eye on this one, as we still feel it could wind up being too strong depending on how the meta settles out.

Caldari Battleship Skill Bonuses:
5% bonus to Cruise Missile and Torpedo rate of fire
4% bonus to shield resistances

Slot layout: 7H, 8M, 5L(+1); 4 turrets , 6 launchers
Fittings: 11000 PWG(+650), 780 CPU(-7)
Defense (shields / armor / hull): 11500(+1538.5) / 8500(+297) / 9000(+797)
Capacitor (amount / recharge rate): 5500(+187.5) / 1100s(+12.5s)
Mobility (max velocity / agility / mass / align time): 103 / .125(+.009) / 103600000 / 17.95s(+1.29s)
Drones (bandwidth / bay): 75 / 75
Targeting (max targeting range / Scan Resolution / Max Locked targets): 90km / 75 / 7
Sensor strength: 30 Gravimetric
Signature radius: 465(+35)


I'm loving everything I see here for my SNI Cool

I'm assuming some new player tackled you with their T1 frigate and you lost a navy battleship when his buddies showed up. Show me the kill mail. I want to send that T1 frigate pilot some ISK.

This is the most stupid thing I read for a long time.On serious note ,did you ever heard for fast tacker,dictors ,heavy dictors ,etc ?Do you even play this game man?

You are whining cause you have now a ship that will do mass murder to small hulls trying to tackle it .Ye that is so bad ,I feel your pain .

Please stop posting ,go and read again OP and put new changes in EFT ,and then if you understand what are you looking on your monitor come back.
