I feel like the T1 BS could use a slight buff to their locking ranges. After the T1 BC rebalance patch several T1 BCs have better locking ranges than Battleships, which I find a bit silly. At lvl V, 84km locking range on a Tempest. That is way too low in my opinion.

What I would basically like to see is the ability to properly offensively use MJDs without having to botcher fits with SEBOs and the like.

I am not asking for a scan res buff, only the locking ranges.

Shocked

there are already modules that let you reach the lock range you like.
use them and fit them on your bs. as for everything you need to get your fit balanced.

can't have 2 mil EHP, 1000km lock range and 20 sig radius on the same frigate right?

So it makes sense to you that Battlecruisers have similar / more locking range than Battleships ?


Everyone is talking about how "bad" T1 Battleships are and how they should be buffed. I think this proposal is fairly acceptable without making them OP.

yes makes sense.

battlecruiser have less tank and less dps / more lock range.
BS have more tank and more dps / a little less lock range.

seems fair IMO.

Doesnt make much sense to me. According to your argument frigs should have the best locking ranges then ? Since they have less raw tank and dps than the other classes.


Logic would dictate, as you progress through the tiers, the lockrange should increase.

And you forgot to state that the BS are slower, have bigger sig and lower scan res.

Not all T1 battleships have lower lock ranges then the ABC counterparts.


Rokhs has a 90000m range the scorpion has the same, the Naga and Raven share a 75000m range,


The Oracle is out ranged by both the Apoc and the Badon, Sharing the same lock range as the Geddon, not really a big deal as a Geddons range with only be as long as it's neuts.


The Talos only out ranges the Hyperion,


And from what I can see on Pyfa. The...Tornado has the lowest lock range when compared to all three T1 Minnie Battleships.



I'm sorry what does ABC's have to do with this? Or did you mean the Standard CBC's?


Because CBC's have Medium guns....not Larges and don't project as far as larges nor do they hit as hard...

OP, I could throw your corporation name in your face with regards to your post, but I don't think I'll do that.

A Rokh can use about half it's possible ammo loadout with rails. The rest if out of locking range. Why is a ship designed around sniping not even able to use long range ammo? Even with perfect boost, you still need a sig amp to target to spike range...

why not? Cool
it's up to you choose the fit and to fit a ship you always need compromises.
that's all really, accept it or go wild on the forum and be trolled Big smile
