Ships & Modules

Terrible analogy.

You can't expect to put an entire rack of the biggest sup-capital weapons on a battleship without some sacrifices.

I think you should be able to fit them along with tank.

I don't really understand the higher fitting costs for LR Weapons v SR Weapons.

Sure, if they lower scorch range to be more in line with other short range weapons. Win some, lose some. Besides on a sniper you can fit them just fine, we've been doing so for years.

even winmatar to set up sniper builds gives up fitting options.


Sniper ='s glass cannon or close to it. Gank or tank, pick one.

As a sniper, range is apart of your tank. YOu are in your optimal or close to it, your enemy is hitting in his far falloff for less damage, if he hits at all. This how I kept rokhs alive on one char. Medium size alpha primary but in the other sides why even bother point in their falloff means it might not be 2 shot instant death.

Check how powerful tachyons are compared to other large guns. Really, an apocalypse that lacks any damage bonus can do same damage with tachyons than a maesltrom with ROF bonus! Tachyons are super sized guns are should not be easy to fit.


On an Apoc you can forego range modules since you have an insane range by default. IT becomes not complicated at all to make a reasonable tachyons fit on the glass cannon sniper role (the role that long range guns were intended to fill).


Want proof of tachyosn awesomness.. fit an oracle with tachyons and pay attention on the stupidty of those numbers!

This is true for a lot of sniper setups.

Using overpowered and ******** tier 3 battlecruisers in an argument? No way...

Long range weapons are more difficult to fit because back in the days range was a serious advantage and Tachyons are in a class of their own which is why you have to sacrifice tank to fit them. From my memory the dps is about similar to a Mega Pulse...

I am sure the battleships will be rebalanced eventually (after all the T1 frigates, T1 cruisers and T1 Battlecruisers) and it might become a little easier to fit, however don't hold your breath and don't take my word for it ;-) (ccp rather wanna introduce new unbalanced stuff and broken features it seems)

You can fit all tachs with a very small trade off that is a simple fitting mod, it's a very fair trade.

Try to fit a full rack 425mm sniper Megathron and watch out your ship cap deplete just firing with no other active mod. However there's no hybrids equivalent to Tachs or we would need 725mm, you fit a gun and the poor thing would blow it self at the first shot

That would make already overpowered Barrage even more powerful.

Then you should explain better than "this should be nerfed for no reason".
