EVE General Discussion

no **** its int he destroyers description, they are designed to KILL frigates. nothing more.

if you make them have 2 mid slots, then they are frigates with 8 guns. That's stupid and not balance.

You get double the dps compared to a frigate now. And your smaller like a frigate. However the destoryers job is NOT to tackle. think outside the box for a 2nd. Destoryer packs will be powerful becuase with 2 or 3 of them you can ALPHA FRIGATES.

who cares if you can't hold them down.

and if they are too fast get a friend to fly tackle. simple.

edit: the more I think about it, they should all get get one mid solt, maybe even lose a low slot for a higher damage bonus. Basicly act like every dessy has a permi low slot taken up by a heat sink. Which doesn't count towards the stack.

Make them slower too, but keep them small. Make them like slow, mobile, firing cannons that waste frigates, but can be hit by cruiser fire if tackled.

Basically they would hard counter the new BCs :P

Rigs and Battlecruisers really did a number on Casual Game Play

They are also pretty easy to get into, Destoryer V only takes a week to train or so.

Catalyst for example:
- Having RoF penalty removed
- General Hybrid (railgun) damage boost gallente ships get
- Less cap use
- More speed
- Better tank
- They are very cheap

Very useful ship for new players, able to train fast and affordable.
Absolute nightmare for suicide ganking mining barges, just think about dual/tripple boxing destroyers, because they are so affordable i'd imagine will see it happen more often.

I can see them become an absolute nuisance to empire miners, and i foresee a nerf incoming in some way to compensate.

You haven't flown them in combat since the speed balance patch I take it?

After frigates became worth using with better speeds and nerfed webs, the price of small weapons/modules skyrocketed. If you T2 fit a destroyer you are looking at up to 20M a pop .. won't matter to majority since the one commonly used will be arty trash and they function just fine with unnamed T1 guns, but actual combat fits will remain one of the most expensive options in Eve (bang-for-buck wise) since they always tend to be in quite a hurry to reach the hereafter

My main concern with this is frigates comparing to dessies like cruisers to (Tier 2) BCs, and hence become just as obsolete.

GOOD im tired of my dam thrasher dieing in 2 shots from a nano cane. time for the people who said eff t2 frigates when they started eve and went t2 dessie to rise up!! and kill that crap. bout dam time

and honestly destroyers should be the only thing that can come close to tracking a frigate. since i beleive the dessies have that 50% tracking bonus at lvl5.
