Ships & Modules

They need a nerf. Something like a nerf to the amount of hit points their drones get, or the removal of their missile damage bonus. They are far too overpowered at the moment.

Exactly.

I agree with the others, pay the isk for a ship then has to be worth what you pay on that note, they dont need to change them for once Gurista ships are now usefull

Comparing the worm, rattler, and Gila to the old day titans is like going from "across the pond" kind of a stretch to "jumped 8 and a half buses on a rocket propelled peddal bike blindfolded" kind of stretch.

The old school titans were WAY too OP but it was also because nothing of the sort had been conceived before in EvE, they were the first attempt at creating true "Flagships" for fleets, and have since been reduced. Where as these ships do have other stepping stools to go off of. In truth sure you get far more DPS out of these ships than MOST other ships but there are still ships than can outperform them and they still die like anything else.

in fact their biggest weakness is their drones, which once dead eliminate 70% of their Damage Application. A worm without drones is just an expensive painted hawk. A Gila without drones is a really bad Moa. And a rattler may as well just be a tanky scorpion with no jams.

Cost is calculated by player. Mineral costs aren't all that different for pirate and T1 (in fact it's more expensive to make t2 crusiers i believe).

If something is OP, it's cost is irrelevant.

Because organized navies from vast, stable, economic powerhouses with all of the education systems, scientists, and resources in the world to research and test and develop weapon systems and ships, can't hold a candle to a motley crew of social rejects who are hiding out in a hole they carved out of an asteroid.

I guess....reasons?

Pirate vessels are nicely powerful vessels a tier above their siblings. Just forget where they come from and put them to good use.

Yeah, should have clarified.

And to think people whined that they were not powerful enough.

Ignoring the balance aspects I feel I have to point out that many of the weapons, vehicles and so forth used by the great armies and navies of the world... Were originally designed by some eccentric in a shed...

Its funny because the mining community cried about how hard it was to survive a gank so CCP buffed the procurer and skiff, now they cry about the fleets of skiffs drinking away all the ore and ice in relative safety or the bait skiffs that kill their combat ships. Its like a bad circle of life.
