someone said there will replace the missile range with drone tracking and range similar to the dominix on the rattlesnake for the upcoming patch. Is this real or someone was dreaming?

It is the first time I see someone mentioning it. If it is real can only be answered by a dev. It does not seem unlikely though. It is coming for the Ishtar, too, which has already been mentioned by a dev in a sticky in F&ID.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

why would they change one ship alone? they will update all 4 pirate bships when the time comes, like they have been doing for the last year. i don't see any dev notes on it, but since we have no ETA on 1.1 it could still be in there. but they will do pirate frigates/cruisers first, and they still need to finish the t2 lineup of hictors, dictors, recons, eattack frigs, logis, marauders, etc, etc.

and yes, it is expected, and already announced, that the mach will get a light beating with the nerf bat, and that the nightmare and vindi will barely be changed. so its a given that the rattler will get boosted up to par with the rest.

if you asking for market advice, don't go dumping those mach hulls yet, since prices will remain on the nightmare/vindi levels, but if you have a stockpile of rattler BPCs its time to put them in the cooker. (possible material change and whatnot)

as far as buying them off the market? well you are one year too late for that. Blink

As someone who hounds these forums for changes i can pretty definitively tell you that nothing of the sort has been announced.

little known fact but the snake in 1.1 is going to loose its missile velocity bonus and have it raplaced with a 37.5% role bonus to drone optimal range and tracking.

this person seems to know it as fact so i am not sure anymore

It's been mentioned by several people, as I hound these forums as well. Hence the bump for asking for CCP confirmation on whether it is rumor mongering or not.

Go on Sisi and see.


Only BS change I saw was Domi.

Might be better to look yourself instead of listening to rumors.

A rattler changing its missile velocity bonus for a drone range and tracking bonus would be quite possibly one of the silliest things ever to fly the dark skies. The current domi is bad enough, but a 'snake.... Shocked

Aw hell, I kinda wish they'd do it just for the chuckles Twisted

I'm not sure what the market is like right now, but I think Navy Raven and Navy Scorpion are both around the same price as Rattlesnake or maybe more. That shows Rattlesnake is not as useful or desirable as a pirate ship should be so maybe the devs are making a quick fix to try to even things out a bit, seeing as pirate ships won't see a full rebalance for some time yet.

Oh god.

I hope this is true. The RS really should be the best Drone boat; it's ridiculous that it can be outperformed by a T1 hull...

There are no planned changes for the Rattlesnake for 1.1. Sorry boyz P

If and when it happens, this will be at the same time than the other pirate ships.

Thank you, madam.

I hope I can say "madam" and it does not count as abuse of staff. *treads carefully*

There's an easy way to find out if you're looking for "confirmation." The forums have this neat tool that allows you to....to.....search for things. You should start there. Even the most basic search would have found nothing on the topic.

By devs? no, not til now (above). If you had actually used the search function, the comment made 2-3 times over the last few days actually was one of googles first results so perhaps you should brush up on your own search-fu as it has been mentioned in a few various posts by various players, clearly at this point confirmed as rumor mongering.
