Confessor will be too tough to fit now imo, resulting in there only being 1 or 2 viable fits. Fair enough, reduce the power grid to dissuade the use of oversized prop mods but increase the cpu to open up some fitting option. This won't do much but it's something.


All of the strongest Confessor fits still fit, albeit with an extra PG rig resulting in less overall tank.

Frankly, I'd like to see the Svipuls grid NUKED to nothing and then it given a very large optimal bonus which basically results in 250s giving 280s range. That an a bigger speed/agility nerf.

Arty fits still work as intended, and nobody has absurd passive tanks.
Win win.



Isnt easier to just give ALL destroyers of all sized 50% reduction on weapon fittings, and reduce the PG of all of them to the same as normal frigates?

280s are supposed to be hard to fit, right now you can fit 280s and MWD without any fitting mods/implants.
Thrasher needs 2 acr to do that if i'm not mistaken

A role bonus for arty fitting is something i'd be cool with though, if they dont overdo it

With the change they will be IMPOSSIBLE to fit without PG mod. No other minmatar ship besides the trasher abnormality needs PG moduels to fit JUST the arties.

Tornado and panther need one iirc.

If you take everything into account, it's also much lower because there is no cap pool penalty on the AB. That penalty reduce your cap regen which is effectively "burned" because of the MWD.


Good point.

a 10mn speed module on destoyer because of oversized PG attribute should be intended, CCP is saying it is not, so remove it.


They're not saying anything like that. They're tweaking the power of the hull, they're not saying oversized prop mod fits are something they don't intend on these hulls.

Well panther grid is pretty terrible. Guess we will see where it is after blops rebalance (lol). 1400 nado is a fair compromise. Largest subcap alpha gun in the game should need a single PG rig to fit.

The problem with 280s is i already fit a PG rig to fit 280s on my svipul. Now i need 2? ACRs use a lot of calibration, meaning i have to sacrifice 3 rigs just to get the desired weapon system to fit. Or drop a low and use a RCU, which then means i need a CPU rig, ACR and RCU to make 280s fit using my current svipul fit.

That seems alil excessive to me. This is not a 10mn fit, but a 1mn mwd fit with a MASB as its only tank (no dcu).

confessor has barely half the kill count of the svipul, making svipul #1 on the list (ishtar is #3 for comparison). I don't see why they both would have to be nerfed equally. If the grid nerf is set in stone.. so be it. But why also agility, speed and mass?


As an addendum to this post, the Confessor was released before the Svipul.

That list is monthly, otherwise the Drake would *still* be number 7 or so and the kill totals would be in the millions.

is it possible to split the Svipul kills between Arti- and Autocannon fits?
because I have the feeling, that the low PG requirements of Autos is making the Svipul PG so powerful.
wouldn't be the first time that a PG big enough to make Arties viable makes the ship being a too good of an Autocannon platform.

it would be if killmails weren't broken almost all the time, and if any of the killboards were any good

That result is a bit skewed because of the min maxing behavior of players. If the svipul is 5% better than the confessor, that is enough for 90% of the high skilled and brain capable players to change to the svipul. That increases drastically its results. Because its win ratio is 2 times higher, does not mean it is MASSIVELY better than the confessor.

Also how many of those kills were frigates .. how many were battleships, hacs.. etc? I Would prefer a LOT a confessor to a svipul to fight against a vigilant for example. Raw numbers have useful info, but you need to analyse the effect on the player behavior to get a reasonable conclusion about them.


At end, the Arties needing TOO MUCH PG causes an issue where it is too easy to push a specific minmatar ship made to use arties into weird fittings.


The real problem is in the arties. They could all lose some 15% fittings and SOME of the ships then could lose a tad of PG (the ones that were clearly built to use arties and that are abused with AC (trashers and svipul basically) , others are already in hard place when using AC and there is no need to toucht heir PG (like tempest, munin)

The -9 PG cut on the confessor is a little to much.
A change in -8 or -7 pg would be ok, just my two cents :)

-9 powergrig is too much. Confessor is not as op as ppl think cap is tight.

but hey to all folks here..

This does seem to be the trend with these balancing threads. They are more early warning threads than actual feedback threads.

It doesn't take a genius to see that the Svipul is head and shoulders above the Confessor.
If you want to break it down by ship type or weapon usage month by month help yourself

The Confessor doesn't need help, and after the change it will be totally fine.
The Svipul is what needs a nerf.

If you want to keep its artillery ability then either nuke the cpu, the speed, or nuke the PG and boost the optimal bonus.

I call the agility and capacitor gimp an overnerf. Yeah, we know CCP doesn't like Caldari or Amarr very much so they listen to outcries from folks that have no business calling themselves educated.

Dail those overnerfs back, the Confessor doesn't need them. The whine-matar need a tad more nerfs.

Not really true in the very recent past. iHubs and the Entosis Module had changes or things implemented based on player feedback in forum threads. We haven't seen an example in rebalancing yet though.
