Player Features and Ideas Discussion

When we asked for a T1 BS balance pass, we didn't mean pull a drive by and destroy the Amarr BS lineup.

Seriously, what are you thinking?

If you actually wanted to do something helpful, why not fix what needed fixing instead of just tossing everything out the window and puting in some half baked ship ideas.

Abaddon - Was fine, it was tanky and did good dps but was heavy on cap as a downside. If you wanted to tone it down, you could have touched its drones bay or something secondary.

Apocalypse - This was always supposed to be Amarr's sniper boat. Lower damage than the Armageddon and Abaddon, but way more projection and cap stability. If you wanted to help the Apoc, you should have fixed its horrible fitting and given it enough grid and CPU to fit Tachyons and given it decent base lock range.

Armageddon - This is possibly one of the dumbest changes I have seen to date. NO GEDDON PILOT EVER ASKED FOR THIS. The ship was FINE, it had a role as a laser damage boat with less tank than the baddon but with better cap stability. If you wanted to balance it, you could have eased its fitting and given it enough CPU to fit what it needed rather than just change it into a range neut domi.


I hope these changes will be scrapped and given a proper look based on what Amarr pilots actually need, rather than some cookie cutter model you guys are trying to throw ships into.



BTW - BUFF THE HARBINGER.

Please tell me that the armageddon navy issue will keep it's current role, it would be silly to make it a neuting drone ship as well ontop of this new geddon and the baahlgorn...

Armageddon:

This is a fun one. Bet you guys didn't think my first two projects would be to slow down the Talos and throw the old Armageddon out the window! But! I think its the best thing for the race line overall. What we've done here is make the Armageddon an echo to the new dragoon destroyer. It makes sense for Amarr to have a battleship variation that rewards players who've trained for dragoon -> arbitrator -> prophecy, and with the neut range bonus, the Armageddon should be a huge payoff. As the Armageddon is falling under 'combat' it will receive a substantial hitpoint boost, sensor strength boost, sig increase, and speed decrease.

While we understand that this is a very powerful ship, it should not be oppressive. Hopefully it will offer a new type of challenge to fly and fly against. To anyone who is very sad to see the old Armageddon go, I encourage to you consider that if left the same, it would have been even more crowded by the Abaddon as a result of the price adjustment than it already was. Again, we look forward to your feedback.

Interesting how many people seem to dislike having logical options, instead of not really having to think at all.
