The new Roden philosophy is pure hybrid turret, no more mixed weapons and less reliance on drones than Duvolle and (obviously) CreoDron.

The bonuses will skew towards railguns (but work fine with blasters as well), and will tend to be Optimal, Tracking, and Damage. Roden will keep its pattern of fewer mids and more lows than the Gallente average, and above average armor HP. We'll also be giving them a bit more than the average lockrange for Gallente ships, to go along with the optimal bonuses.


So with CCP Fozzie saying they are changing Roden Shipyards to be a pure Hybrid platform focusing more on the rail side, would this mean that the Lachesis would be getting the Missile Bonus removed and possibly getting another Hybrid Bonus in its place? They are modifying the Eris with the new Interdictor update coming in Rubicon, so why not the Lachesis as well?

tl;dr: Read it, its not that long. lol

Because Recons are not yet on the rebalancing table. Patience, my young padawan.

The Roden Shopyards weapon philosophy will open up lots of options for ships in the Gallente lineup.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

Thank you master, I will go back to my lessons.

In all seriousness, I'm looking forward to seeing what CCP does with Recons whenever they get around to them. Should be interesting.

I really liked the ROF bonus on the lachesis and the option to fit rapid assault or heavies and choose damage type. Maybe its not as good now that medium rails have been buffed and heavies had their range nerfed.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.
