Just sayin' cause this is would be the next logical step to his whine threads about weapons not working.

Scorch need to be nerfed to the ground

Maybe then amarr laser boats can be properly balanced.

Scorch needs to be nerfed so that amarr ships can be buffed.

Pretty sick of all amarr lasers boats only being used "because scorch"

Same applies to all t2 ammo, t2 ammo is supposed to be niche ****, not your god damn go too.

null vs barrage make AC useless


but the wheel keep spinning one day ccp will buff AC again or nerf blaster

yes all the people that dont use AC are pleased with them

I dont agree that AC do not have apoint, but your points are not so strong. Large falloff? yes but at the cost of basically ZERO range.

Check Large AC for example. they deal LESS damage than large blasters up to 24 km.. (edge of poitn range). So at least on the large scale they are VERY weak damage projection unless on a ship with falloff bonus (machariel).


The damage selection that so many talk about is.. lol just an excuse. When was last time you stopped to change ammo durign a fight? Rare times you can recover from the time loading the ammo. So the damage selection helps, but its nto a magical tool that allows you to exploit always the resit hole on the other ship.


At end, AC role is being less bad than the other 2 at their weak spots. Close range with mobility they defeat pulses, long range they can defeat blasters (altough on the large guns that is meaningless because you need to go out of point range to have such scenario, but it is still a valid advantage on the medium guns)


Their low fittings are not so low when you consider minamtar ships (with exceptoin on maelstrom) have less fittigns thatn equivalent turret ships from other races.

It was not, it was supposed to be ammo with a big strength and a big weakness that the ships could compensate for their lack of range or dps with using in special situations

Also to that other guy i don't quite understand how you made that graph... My graphs all show null having more damage and more tracking than barrage.

Jack of all trades, master of none. Versatility is the name of the minmatar game since like forever, there must be sacrifices for that. ACs are balanced, though some of the hulls should be looked at.

This I can agree, indeed.

I pretty much fly amarr / minnie ships nowadays and can honestly say that weapons systems are probably the most balanced they have every been. And I have been playing since eve was released.( Bloody hell I probably need a break.) ( And no it wasn't one this toon before all you forum tossers start bleeting on about the age of Taoist!)

I have also started using small/medium beams instead of pulse w/scorch as beams actually give me way more flexibility and if you don't fall into the trap of plating the heck out of the amarr ships they can still be agile enough for most applications.

As for engaging null/blasters with my autos. easily.....at the edge of null range (approx 7-8km) I'll still hit way more consistently as my effective range (optimal + falloff) is often 10-11km+). But then again if I know I'm gonna go against blasters I often just shut them down with a boosted nuet or such.
