With 170 m/s base speed? Hardly. AB frigates will be able to outrun it even if poor thing will be MWD fitted... It is a Machariel (battle ship) speed.

What AB frig is anywhere near as fast as this thing?

Any chance of making the 6th slot on the high a missile hard point? I want to fire defender missiles for when that bit*h of a speed creeping Garmur gets point on me. Go on, Let me have my defender missiles please ;-)

So what do you intend to do about the Confessor. It was the first T3D you released and ironically it would officially be the worst once this thing is let loose. I'm tempted into training Gallente Destroyers but i'm still skeptical that by the time I'm able to fly it, that it would be viewed in the eyes of the masses that it's too powerful and be hit with the nerf axe and be reduce to Oblivion status along side the Confessor. Also I can't shake the feeling that both the Confessor & Svipul are unfinished.

So before I train for anymore T3Ds, I'd really like someone from CCP to tell me what happens next for the Confessor & Svipul.

Though it is quite easy to control range against solo Hecate - its complete nightmare when you'll face 3-5 of them (fleet format).
If I understood right - with gank fit and cheap 3%+3% damage implants Hecate can hit 1000dps?
Seems OP, which means I have to train it asap :)

Well, they are effective in some situations.
For example, I really love tripple-tanked (MASB+AAR+3hull rigs) tristans/comets for hero tackling because their good base hull HP.
Hull buffer is absolutely needed to prevent gaps in rep cycles when dealing with dpsey stuff (esp. with Orthrus).
If its stupid but still efficient - its ok for me :)

Too all the folks who are bitching about the so called high DPS. That DPS is coming from Small BLASTERS. And that DPS is only going to hit if you are dumb enough to get with in 2km of the Hecate and sit still. Small Blasters don't track like auto cannons. A buffer blaster fit will only be deadly to you if you let it get close. Just like the rest of the blaster line up of GAL ships. Don't be dumb and let it it close. As somebody who was Flying a HULL Tanked Blaster no bubble fit Eris in Lowsec from day 1 of the the release of HULL RIGS. I can tell you that the things that kill me the most are all ships that can kite and apply damage at above 14km. Navy Slicer and Garma are my bane. Kite Tristan and Kestrels are no joke. Rail Comets and Arty Firetails with a TD is a hard fish to fry.

So no, This amount of DPS is not OP. in fact. I am still in two minds if it will replace my HULL tank fit Eris cost wise. But Duel web will be a thing for me.

Pretty neat that it is hull resist + armor rep bonus but I've never been a fan of the reduced cycle time of reps VS armor rep amount. Ancis are going to be gone in like 10 seconds.

As the Jackdaw has the only Missile reload bonus in the game. It would be cool if the Hecate was the only ship with a strong local Hull repair bonus. (Instead of the Armor) Giving bonuses to BOTH Armor and Hull is semi silly. Make this ship a true Hull tanking ship!



Defense Mode:
Remove the Armor Resist bonus, slightly increase the hull resists, and give it a nice (local) Hull rep bonus!


That would make it *REALLY* unique...and badass!

Comon Fozzie, make this one little thing happen!!!

Ah, the usual Gallente double bonus.

Ignoring that, the sum of the bonuses is 133.2%, while it is 100% for all of the other 3 T3Ds.

Grave inconsistency.



Looks olright.
