EVE General Discussion

I don't see how changing some stats in severely overpowered ship is a nerf.

Agent quality removal was a huge nerf to low-sec, that's right. Fixing a drake is merely a fix. CCP, please do it ASAP! The whole game is fubar cause of this crap.

Amazing Sir Simply Amazing.

If I had and regrets re-subbing for the New Direction you just squashed them.

Ummm what?

I run Angel in Drake all the damn time and I do it in 15-20min flat. I put on an AB because I don't need the extra tank and Fury Scourge Missiles eat Angel Battleships in 4 Shots.

I live in Amarr Space and I do EM Weak Missions in a Drake real Quick. I never need to warp out and 510 DPS is a more then enough to burn through any LvL 4 Missions at a reasonable pace.

It's a much slower pace than you can accomplish with other higher tier/tech/SP ships

Doesn't matter it is able to do them much, much better then any T1 Battlecruiser.

NO !!

Give them tools for their role yes, let them be kings of the hill for every purpose: NOES

Same goes for Canes, omgfkpown "vavavroum" Tornados etc

Spot on Gypsio. And this is about what Ytterbium is saying. But ffs how long has it taken CCP to have the balls to do this.

Endeavor Starfleet, you are a relatively new player, less than a year, assuming this is your main. You need to learn some about the game as a whole instead of being so attached to the Drake that allowed you into level 4 isk making ahaead of players that flew other races.

Resist bonuses in general are tricky things. Marry them with a damage bonus and be careful. The Abaddon is on that list. At least the abaddon has the cap problem. Whereas the Drake had no problem to address. However, considering the proliferation of Abaddons we could be looking at an adjustment there at some point in the future.

The point is this is what this game should be about. Balancing is a difficult but necessary business. If certain ships get used too much and for tasks more advanced than other ships in its class it is in need of adjustment. These things cycle. For pvp I've seen Gallente on top, then Amarr, then Minmatar, while Amarr was on the bottom, then Minmatar, then Gallente. Curiously Caldari never owned the top or the bottom. And it's always owned the top in pve.

What the above paragraph is saying is that every character should have at least two race of ships it can fly. This is so that that character has an option if they acurately or mistakenly percieve the race of ships that they currently fly as inferior. Endeavor, you followed the herd into the easy route toward pve success. Can't really criticize you for that. I did it with two other characters i have. But now you do need to realize that the game changes and you need to adjust with it.

I think you're blowing it out of proportion. What I'm saying is that Caldari shouldn't have their regenerating tank AND capless weapons too. But, since they do, one or the other needs to be shaved down a hair.

There should be more trade offs when fitting Caldari, like everything other race......hmmm, do I fit the biggest baddest blasters on this boat? Or do I save some cap and put it into my tank? But, changes to Caldari don't necessarily require that they lose their current advantage....just temper it a bit.

ccp...maybe you should check some facts before you eat out of the hand of csm...caldari overpowered?
yeah every fleet in null is not minmatar or amarr...its caldari the ravens and the feared pvp scorpion and feroxes are ruling the nullsec...we dont have anyway of stopping these overpowered pvp gods of eve.


the tengu and the drake is the only reason anyone would ever skill caldari so if you wanna kill that entire race nerf it because nobody will skill from kestrel to tengu.

maybe you should stop doing "nerfs" at random and thereby screwing up all the races...nerfing is what led you here in the first place..random whacks with the bat until everything is crap...and the if a ship is not crap and actually can do anything its op and needs the bat.....can you see the pattern here?

whack-a-mole nerfing and try to hit anything functional that popsup because everything else keeps getting pushed down.

There is a trade off. It's called delayed DPS, difficulty with faster smaller ships, high susceptibility to ECM, single damage type ammunition, no damage bonuses against common pvp resist holes, tech 2 ammo issues, high sig before and after fitting(easily highest in the class with standard fittings), slow align, etc.
