Also, another thing, why do they need to cost so bloody much?

If you look at any other faction ship in game, including faction titans, theyre like 2-3 times the cost of a t1 variant.

They aren't super OP, so making them cost that much just means people won't use them as anything other than a space penis.

If they cost closer to the 5b mark, they might actually be viable and practical ships to use, even though that would still be expensive, it would be great to actually be able to use them.

Is it intended that the dread does not have the armor or turret capacitor bonuses the revelation does? Without these its basically a useless, capless, anemic brick.

The nos bonus on the Fax isnt enough

It needs to be 50% or 100% per level to make it properly useful

Better yet, a Blood Raiders faction capital nosferatu.
edit: OMG these exist


The titan needs a doomsday that sucks ships capacitor dry and then causes them to deal damage around themselves based on the capacitor they lost.

Because the best use of it is a full buffer fit. Forget about turrents, noses, neuts and the siege module.

The mission of this ship is to drag as much as firepower as possible.

So an AOE DD mutiplied by the flat capacitor they lose? An interesting concept but not something I think CCP will impliment. It would be an awesome weapon though!

It could have an effect pattern determined by the weapon, and all damage done to a given ship in the DD path would be dealt based on the capacitor lost by the previous ship in its path. So the first ship hit would take no damage, and the last ship hit would deal no damage.

Same with hardeners, you can't go past 99% resists no matter what you do.


Actually, funny thing, you can!

The caps are soft, not hard, except in very specific and hard-coded circumstances. If they roll over (generally due to rounding) you end up with, um, 'funny' results.

Like the DST that infamously managed to get over 100% resists, got shot, and took infinite damage and exploded!

Presumably without a similar hard limit on web speed reductions a Vindi-bonused grappler would result in a ship very briefly going infinity miles per hour, shooting out of web range, and slowing down somewhere around the next star system over... Lol


That's a whole new level of "slingshot it into warp".


I'm now imagining a ship aligning, getting webbed, shooting to Plaid, finally slowing down on the *other* side of the warp destination, and having to either stop and turn around to warp or literally warping backwards as it hits the velocity required to enter warp finally and the original warp algorithm kicks in...

CCPls let me test this on Sisi! Please!?!!?!?! Big smilePirate

Well on the one side, the Molok needs more capacitor compared to the Avatar (up to 50 % reduction in cap use for energy turrets) and on the other side, for Cap NEUTs, it will need much more capacitor to be effective.

Capacitor pool is close to the Avatar (145 TJ compared with 135 TJ) at the same recharge time
= around 7 % higher recharge rate

Don't forget that the Molok has 4 turrets to power while the Avatar has 6. That's an effective 33% reduction in cap use (or 33% more than the Avatar uses, aren't fractions fun). Also it can run 1 Neut and 1 NOS for the value of (about) two regular Neuts on another ship for less total cap per effective neut, or just run NOS.

And yeah, there's the higher cap pool plus recharge time, plus how both of those interact with skills and stuff.

Just pointing that out. Big smile

It's funny. The replies to this are very telling. Before even reading any of them I thought to myself... "Wow, content for 3 groups. Goons, PL, and NC."

This is just documented proof. Nearly all comments are from those 3, almost like they know as well that they are sanctified by CCP.

Thanks CCP for providing content to 1% of the 1% of the 1% of those who keep your lights on.

Meanwhile, the rest of us will never see one on the field, much less have access to one. But we're ok being abused and harrassed out of the game by bulk-wardeccing bullies who ultimately have zero ambition in the game other than destroy the experience for as many as possible for giggles.

Well done yet again CCP, well done. You continue to amaze.

I mean, if you want one, just get one. You don't have to be in a specific alliance to own the shiny, as long as you have the ISK to pay for it. You sure as hell don't need to be in a specific alliance to get ISK.

Also, "bulk-wardeccing?" Is this some sort of tangent or something? We don't wardec folks -- suicide ganking is our forte.

I can assure you my alliance is one of the ones getting constantly wardecced.


Probably major capital alliances will be best able to put these ships to use, but anyone who can field capitals can field these capitals. It's just ISK vs risk, and these will probably cost more ISK.

Yes, but if CCP will remodel my bloody Basilisk hull to stop it looking like crushed luggage then I'll forgive them for waiting a few years to rework the Pirate hulls which currently don't look too bad.

Everything we know indicates that CCP's art pipeline is pretty full, so it's not surprising that they're not investing hugely in new models for these ships until they're certain they won't break the game.

Sure, we're happy with the existing fleet hanger size. Its the same as the Vanquisher.


Vanquisher doesn't have corpse bay, does it? Reduce the corpse bay a little more and merge it to the fleet hangar/cargo bay so it can carry /swap out that extra module.

The corpse bay is fun flavor, it's not a balance parameter....

The non-Bloodraider factions aren't crazed bloodthirsty maniacs. It would be weirdly out of character for anyone else to have a corpse bay (except maybe the Sleepers/Drifters)
