Your Nanoblastos can be out dpsed by Vindi, Mach, Nightmare, Paladin, Abaddon, Arma(maybe), Mega, Dominix, Typhoon, Vargur, Kronos, and Golem.

Edit: I agree with Liang, Talos is very underpowered ship.

Very underpowered. I think maybe they should give it +10% damage bonus and a 50m^3 drone bay instead of the paltry bonuses it has now. I can't believe CCP hates Gallente like this. :(

It gets worse Liang — it sounds like they're gong to nerf the Myrm by adding bandwidth and reducing turret count (much like how they're going to nerf the Drake). P

Heh. Well let nobody say that the universe is static I suppose. I'm grateful that I won't have any training to do no matter what solution they come up with!

CCP made Talos so good full rack T2 neutrons hits 1000 DPS EZ then you can even slap Null in it and get as much range as autocannons with better DPS over range. Why they make this so OP its EZ FOTM until a nerf oh wait they buffing it again LOL Cool Did I mention it also does 1.8k/s and aligns in 6.5?



You seem to have some issues to clearly state what is overpowered other than put some EFT numbers on the forum. Sad.

I have to commend Tippia's patience in this thread. I would've stopped after the first page. Lol

As to the OP yeah Talos rocks because it's like a giant BC sized Taranis. Fast maneuverable and wtf dps for it's size.

Tippia is right about tracking but loses points for being trolled for 10 pages by a silly comment that the Talos has better effective tracking than the Zealot. However when you factor in double webs and 5 light drones, its not hard to see why the talos has an easier time against frigs than the zealot.

also cyzlaki is a bad poster and also bad at math.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

So, about the Blastos. does it work and it what kind of situations?

I still need to wait for T2 Large Rails and wonder if the Tr3 BCs are any good with close range guns in general...

I tested a shield Neutron Blastos against Drake & Tengu*, and it didn't really work that well at all, superior DPS is not superior enough to balance the lack of credible tank.

So while training for rails, can anyone share their experiences with blaster fits?

Holy mother of necro.

Tier 3 BCs in general fare better when they are not being shot. Doubtless, if you and a Drake went up against 2 enemy Drakes, and you made sure your Drake buddy got primaried first, you would be able to do some massive damage and possibly win the fight. In straight-up 1v1 close range slugfests, though, I think the Talos is the only one that has a viable tank+damage+tracking combination (but a hell of a good one).

I'd say that the Blastos is more than capable of taking and killing anything from a Cane, to a Drake, to a 100mn AB Tengu. I regularly engage pretty overwhelming odds with it, and wouldn't blink twice at engaging a 10 man BC gang with it.
