My good man, the whole scope of T3 rebalancing IS exactly large fleet combat not pve. Bear



Also small scale. A cloaky legion can get 400-500 dps, bonuses webs, nullification and fit a XL booster. Try to get a rapier close to that.



A ship can only fit what pg/cpu allows it to fit. That's their only issue. CCP tried some timid nerfing last year but... without any conviction.

I wonder how many will notice you called the first one a t1 cruise when it is in fact a pirate cruiser and has hard to source mods fitted. None of the ships you cooked up can do the job of our proteus or legion.

Lol. Shitfits my arse, hard to source mods my arse :). They're more capable than your 160k EHP Proteus brick with the speed of a snail.

Heres another one:

More EHP than a Proteus, more dps than a Proteus, better range than a Proteus, cap stable unlike a Proteus. You're obsessed with how overpowered the Proteus is yet I've posted 5 different hulls that are equal or better than your Proteus. You should give up.

180k ehp, 600 dps at 50k, 1k m/s, cap stable. According to you this is like better than a Battleship since Prot can get 160k ehp and 600 dps and you consider that a battleship :)

You're not really going to compare heavy missile range and dps with hybrids are you?

2x pithum c invulns ha ha
that alone is the cost of another t2 fit nighthawk

Now the practical part in pvp, where are the command boosting links at least, if it has no tackling mods?

Try to fit a command bc for pvp and you'll see you don't have enough pg/cpu to make a decent fit that will fill its command ship role and still do good dps. All your lows will be filled with cpu/pg mods.

Well given their example T3C's fit med afterburners I don't think it matters about range. As for the invuls theyre C-Types, who cares, you can be poor and fit Gist and you'll still get 165k EHP.

To my knowledge a legion does not have a bonus to webs in any of the subsystems.

Heavy missiles apply **** all damage and their flight time means whatever you are targeting gets a long time to call for reps. You also have a massively larger sig and are far more vulnerable to bombs. You try this every time and never learn that spitting out EFT theory fits just results in you getting laughed at.

The rapier comment shows you simply do not understand the issue. The rapier is entirely invalidated as a solo/small gang and fleet ship because the loki does its job so much better.

My point is you can't compare a pve fit with a pvp fit. Compare a pvp fit Nighthawk with a pvp fit Proteus and then we'll talk.

Depends on range, speed, tackle and target. A brick tanked rail prot with an med afterburner is not the king of dictating range. You could just as easily fit rlml or ham. A battleship is just as susceptible to bombs, so what?

Baltec> Goes on a ramble about bombs and PL tactics.

The fact is your reasons for wanting a Nerf for T3 don't add up, almost all the high end cruisers and BC with resist bonuses can match or beat T3Cs. Reason? They can fit battleship sized mods too.

Nerf those oversized fittings or shutup.

If by excuses you mean pointing out colossal flaws in your argument. Every single one of your ideas are terrible and would get wiped out by the very ships you are trying to beat. I mean seriously, rapid lights? Heavy missiles? 425 autos against a fleet with rails and beams? All you are looking at is DPS and tank with no thought about anything else.

Oversized mods are not the reason for T3C being overpowered. It's the 8 bonuses that average out at 10% each, it's the huge power grid that dwarfs every other cruiser and battlecruisers, it's the ease to get T3C to be cap stable, it's the abnormally high base EHP.

The weapons systems are unimportant since they can easily be switched out. Your argument was the T3s are overpowered because EHP / DPS. I clearly showed the other cruisers and BCs can do likewise. They were all cap stable, none had fitting problems, implants, or fitting only mods or rigs.

You are wrong. Admit and move on.

Why are you people arguing with Infinity or anyone else about this? CCP is finally going to change these overpowered monstrosities that puts such a damper on everything else, so who cares what the people who have abused them for years have to think?

Just sit back and enjoy their anger and discomfort, it's more enjoyable than wasting time trying to convince the perpetually unconvinced.
