I don't mind the bonus changes, but if you're rebalancing the weapon systems, the lack of purpose for the longer range turrets needs to be looked at. With Scorch reaching out to 100km, there's literally no reason to run Beams. Not that there was much of one to start with.

Also, Moros reaching out to 80km is absurd.


Ooo, you will be surprised.

LR guns may turn out to be actually useful. Because of nanocarriers / nanoFAXes. No joke.

Capital prop mods -> carriers doing 1000m/s. Oh, you sieged? We'll just kite you to 200km and send out these fighter clouds of doom at you while you sit still there and play with your short range guns.

Carriers can actually target and engage well over 10000km away. Sure it will take forever for the fighters to reach the target but with a static non moving object like a dread this matters little. Even more so for Citadels and POS.

It will take more tackle support then ever and a lot of relocating to counter this.



Umm carriers can't really hurt dreads or structures and even if your fighters lived long enough to make that trip over half of your dps is limited to 8 shots then you need to fly them all the way back.

The effective range for a carrier is about 80-90km

Dreads are better than carriers in almost every way. Carriers look like they were pre-nerffed hopefully this means there will be number tweaking between now and summer

I don't know how bad the new Revelation is really going to be... but remember that the Rev was by far the best dread for many years until the last major rebalancing. I guess that is the reason why CCP has no problem with it being the weakest dread for a few more years. Eventually there will be another rebalance that will make the Moros suck again and the Rev superior ;)

Lesson is: Just train all dreads to V, then you don't have to care :p

I love the looks of my Sarum Rev, and hate vertical pile of junk.

Base Cap/s is better in nag than in rev. All prise minmatar cap supremacy!

How is it possible that the Naglfar numbers are the same as the Lif numbers? Copy/paste error?


Yes, copy/paste error, thanks for catching it guys :)

Are we still getting the changes to the Siege module detailed in the CapitalFocusGroup thread?

Everything else about these is staying the same (repair bonus etc). Except we've removed the Scan Res penalty, Number of Locked Targets Penalty, and the Target Loss on Activation (not sure about that last one, it might come back).


Yes it is. I'll update the OP to include this. Thanks mate.

SO maybe that's just me, but I tested out naglfar PvE. Being sensor dampened by serpentis to 15 km lock range by FRIGS felt weird. I mean, am I not supposed to be flying a giant almighty fortress, designed for annihilation and obliteration ?
Just my 2 cents.

Did you go into siege? Shouldn't be possible to damp you that much in siege because of stacking effects.

I think that is a bug. Rats curantly ignore the resistances

I was in siege, and yes I succeded being dampenend by 3 frigs simultaneously.

What exactly do you mean ignoring resists ? they dont take the siege reduction to damp in account ?

Exactly not to big of a deal on dreads but marauder bastion mode also has this problem

They moved it back because they could not fix the bug you can see the relevant thread on the test server feedback
