Ships & Modules

it's in Malcanis' sig. lemme see if I can find the guy...

found it:

It´s the other way round: you got slapped in the face because you were especially hated...

I think all the new bc's are designed to be shield tanked regardless of race, a 425mm railgun kiting talos does 800dps with surprisingly good tracking and nice speed, there is simply no reason to go facemelt in one of these when an untrimarked mega costs 25mil more with more ehp minus the lockspeed/agility which doesent mean **** in a brawl fight

CCP stated this ships were designed for solo and to be used by experienced pilots who know who to fight and when, specially looking lone juicy targets.


no their fault everyone wants them to become the new Blob or anti-Blob miracle.


Just think on the Talos like that neutron Gank hyperion, with the difference the hyperion it's mean to last 2-3 similar size vessels, the Talos just break one apart and run away before friends shows up.

So because you and CCP think or want these ships only to be used in fleets. I should only use them in fleets? What if I say fock you and fock CCP? What if I don't care who laughs @ me when I'm flying the spaceships I enjoy?

All the tier 3 battle-cruisers are designed specifically for fleets. This game was not designed for solo players or else it would not be a Massively multiple-player game. However, it's also a sandbox. Players in this game tend to take things and use them for things CCP never had in mind or could contemplate @ the time.

Many things pilots consider broken when other factors applied. Are a result of player ingenuity. So no! I wont listen to you or CCP in anything not including in the EULA. Unless I wont get caught doing so = )

I'm not sure what circus you come from, nor do I care. However, from reading the previous statements on the forums. I can tell you lack experience in the variety of pvp that exist within game. So, this is the last and only time I'll respond to you, because your not worth the effort.

Referencing how CCP envisions how ships are to be used is anecdotal. They, CCP are full of sh!t. Pilots decide what roles ships are to play or have. No matter the viability or lack there of. Eve-online is a sand box (surprise). So in-effect, most Gallente ships have been placed in a niche by the player base, because that is where Gallente ships excel. Mind you, there are other ships in-game that excel in a certain niche similar to most Gallente ships. Any ship in-game can be flown solo if they're able to apply damage. Might not be very viable, but hey. Clearly, the Talos is not as viable as the others in fleets, but the Talos is alot more viable compared to the other tier battle-cruisers solo.

There are many ships that ignore thier "intended role" in-game that excel in another area (blaster-Celestis). While CCP has stated tier 3 battle-cruiser are designed for fleet engagements. Tell which ship in this multi-player game isn't? I suppose covert op ships (helios). Either way. Scouting is useful role in a fleet and so is any ship that does damage. Since I'm using tier 3 battlecruiser solo and I know many other pilots that are @ the moment. You're already wrong. I might have lost a Naga to recently, but you live and you learn. I've also lost a Talos in a fleet, but I used it mainly for solo. So I've lost 2 tier battle-cruisers solo. So, your insight into what you think is going on in-game is wrong. Pilots are flying all of them solo for whatever reason. Be it sitting off of a gate and using Tachyon Oracles or Artillery Toronado's. Engaging cruisers in a pulse laser-shield-Oracle or auto-cannon-armour/shield-Tornardo.

Anyway, I stand by my previous statements. Fock you and fock CCP and how you think ships should be used.


-proxyyyy

Ok ok let me apologize for choose the wrong words there...

Mostly in my mind there was this text:
* In certain situations it will be the best ship you’ve flown. In others, the last ship you’ll fly before you have to buy a new one. In the hands of a talented Gallente pilot with a knack for picking the right fights at the right moments, the Talos should ensure violent festivities during the holiday season.*

also link to the Dev blog, now we can argue all the day about how to define Solo but as i see it you are alone and you must choose wisely who and when to attack, wich means you should avoid ships you can't beat or handle and hardly go 1v1 against anything that shows up


Now i agree any fast frig, and even cruisers can crush this thing with ease, i'm quitesure there is way better ships and fits for your fleet, but as the text says if you are experienced enough and now WHO and WHEN to engage, the Talos can be deadly in the right hands.

Cannot wait to fly Talos with oversized tank 1x large blaster, 5x small blasters and two nuets. The percentage of frigate pilots who check your guns before trying to get under your tracking is shockingly small.

Ah hell no! Did he just correct my spelling? Mother******. Rifters @ dawn. GO!

Most of these should outrun a Destroyer or have the web/scram to stop one and kill it.

Solo Tornado, Naga and Talos look promising. If Oracle had 4 mids it could join the fun, sadly it has 3.
