its an agility buff which will help out with orbital max speeds which combined 10%/10m/s this makes them some pertty ballerina bricks flying around.

RvB are the only people that really care.

Stop bitching because your Dramiel was nerfed.

While frigates do generally do well with blasters, i do hate the fact that orbiting a target in my daredevil even with no prop mod on does not give me full damage unless i set my speed slower. A small tracking boost even on small blasters would be welcome in my book.

Which of course makes the Daredevil totally underpowered and in need of a tracking boost amiright?

I responded to some ******** comments on this subject in another thread. I'll paste this here. Good luck!

The changes to small blasters is not great. If you knew anything about what you're talking about you know this has changed nothing. What has changed in a significant way is rail set-ups. If you were using the Taranis and Comet (like I have) to destroy Dramiel. This has become easier. Caldari frigates that use blasters have had a significant increase though. Tracking is very important when it comes to frigate combat. In the past or now. You could abuse the tracking of a Harpy, with a Jaguar for example. That will change. Also alot less capacitor usage is a logical and big plus, but more so for Caldari blaster ships.

Also, unlike what happened to small auto-cannons (increased damage output and applied damage + falloff). Blasters did not get a increase to applied damage. No increase in optimal and falloff.

Suggesting this makes them unbalanced. Shows that alot of you have no idea what you're on about. Small blasters would have been better helped with a increase in applied damage. Also, small rail-guns are superior to blasters in frigate versus frigate combat. Blasters are superior in dealing with larger ships, for the most part.

Anyway, thank CCP for some slight love to small blasters and stfu.... Small blasters are not as great as most of the r3t@rds claim them to be...

Thank you CCP

I was under the impression that Gallente ships were becoming more agile. So yes, this does sound slightly overpowered.

TRISTANS FOR EVERYONE!

These buffs will help take Gal frigs out of the cellar ( Merlin and Cormorant to ) but lets not get delusional with notions of OP or FOTM.

Incursus was only ever any good in gangs or against paper thin targets ( mostly other Galente ).

In order for a Tristan to have had any chance against a Riffter you had to spend about 4 times as much fitting it. ACR rigs were mandatory if you wanted any tank and they're some of the most expensive rigs on the market. Unless you were kite fit any notion of taking an AC Punisher was just delusional.

Rails wont replace Arty but they might just be competitive now. With the speed and inertia buffs getting in or out of range will be a viable option.

Whether the Enyo can stand toe to toe with a Vengeance, Wolf or Jag will remain to be seen, but I doubt it.

Ranis was one of the few good Gal frigs and it got a bit better. Kiting comet was pretty good, whether it can get in anyone's face now and live will remain to be seen.

So thanks CCP for the buff, been waiting a very long time for it, but I wont be selling my Riffter BPO any time soon.
