Ships & Modules

While they're at it, they should boost fittings on the Caracal, NCaracal, Cerb, and Nighthawk. They almost seem balanced around undersize boosters and ABs and that's just not ok.

-Liang

Except in the case of the Nighthawk, I'd have to say the fitting is fine. Although the Navy Caracal is better in most ways to the Cerb, which is a bit bizarre.

That's the exact opposite of what I said. To expand, the NH's fitting is not fine, it should be able to at least rock a large shield booster. That the Navy Caracal and Cerb can't really active tank is fine since neither can most other shield HACs.

I'll take your word for it.

For nanogangs ofc.

Navy Carac is faster, more agile, in the linked fit does only 20 less DPS (with some of that being drone DPS and so better for taking down frigs), less overall EHP but more EHP against EM damage, and cheaper. Trying to redress the speed/agility disadvantage of the Cerb by dropping a BCS for a nano means it's still slower, less agile and now does less DPS.

edit: the navy carac even has +2 sensor strength over the cerb, wtf ccp

eeh, not to sure on that one

I just think that out of all the weapon platforms, rails are just the worst.

Its not that they do their job badly, its just that they do a job that not many people need.

Mediocre dps at range

You can almost always pick a better weapon platform

Also scorch

Sebo's counter damps and by them selves have the added damage advantage of applying damage at range.
Tracking computers counter tracking disruptors and by themselves have the added damage advantage of tracking.
ECCM counters ECM and by themselves have no added advantage, why?

We have the worst counter applied to the best type of ECM. I say give ECCM modules a way to reduce the effectiveness of the other two types of EWAR as well. Dont make it actually boost tracking or range, just make it reduce the effects of damps and disruptors.
