I don't think it is near as difficult as people are trying to make it.

Warrior II x5

Deadly Mid Range ship with 580DPS to 35KM AM and 538 to 44KM Plutonium, 63k EHP before as Tier HP Boost.
Blasters 817 DPS Neutron AM with 63 EHP and room for Web / Scram.

Naga is paper and much less accurate at those ranges, let it keep the super sniper and make this a cheap fleet ship. If they make it look like this I Guarantee it would be flown. They can do this up right without crossing roles with the Naga or making her a weak brawler.


It will only have 17 slots not 18 and i expect it will be 5 mids like the drake will be

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

Nerf web strength, Make the blaster Eagle worth using

Meh, then lose a high mid or low, either or it will still be great compared to the others.

They can build a strong mid range ship.

I'm not saying its not possible or that it doesn't have its merits. For the record my fleet ferox (which i have actually used!!) has rails. In general long range weapons are better for fleets.

Replacing the range bonus with a hybrid damage bonus would help make Rails a feasible option again. Rails having decent range already would likely result in a solid short/mid-range rail boat more keeping with the Caldari fighting ethic.

As mentioned earlier and is something I fully agree with, the LAST thing the Ferox needs is a reduction in tank. It's too slow and align times (As I have experienced myself) give smaller ships time to get in scram and pin you down. Retaining tank gives it a chance to fight through a situation which is what Battlecruisers are there for.

Another potential factor in removing the shield resist is that we'll end up with armour tanking Rox's all over the place! This cannot be allowed to happen...
