I had kind of suspected that's what we had on our hands here, but he puts so much more effort into it than your usual breed of troll these days that it seemed most logical that he was being sincere.

Cunningham's Law Strikes again!

If people are this butthurt about losing access to sentry drones, it just goes to show how overpowered they really are.

The Worm, Gila, and soon to be the Rattlesnake are going to be awesome ships. No one is "getting **** on", you just don't get the one size fits all sentry drone of overpoweredness as a crutch anymore.

Alright how bout an opinion form some one that has flown Gallente drone boats and is currently flying Caldari missile boats. The only reason I have quite flying drone boats is because I don't like to micro-manage my primary weapon system. Witch is why I quit flying Gallente drone boats. Now I only use drones to kill things that my guns/missiles have a hard time hitting.

While I have never flown the Snake in combat. I have flown the Gila. (and got it blown up but that's another matter). I think the changes to them are going to be a good thing. I know most people right now like to fly both the Gila and the Snake as kitting sentry boats. They do a wonderful job at it form what I understand. But I think that is what the Gallente are suposed to be good at. The Guristas are suposed to be more of a brawler, witch is what they are being turned into.

The changes that are coming though will leave you with some faction ships that still do the same job (missile+drone DPS) but do it better. Your drones will be hitting harder (if you use the right drones) and your missiles will be hitting harder (no matter what size you use from what I understand). In all the ships will be better for it, and you wont have to manage as meany drones.

If you still want to fly a kiting drone boat with sentries then switch to Gallente, though you will lose your missiles you will still be able to shield tank. If you want drones and missiles but don't care if the drones don't get a bonus then switch to Amarr (well at least up to cruiser if you want a BS with drones and missiles i have herd the Minmatar have one).

If you have any more comments on the matter I might check back latter.

Cunningham's Law "the best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question, it's to post the wrong answer."

fine if they are made into more brawler-type ships but there is no reason to take away anything from them. The only commonality between guristas and gallente is that they both use drones. Everything else is different.

These forum clowns and their totally inability to come across as anything other than degenerate angsty man-children.

Its called versatility, dumbass.

That is what we trained into the otherwise lackluster Guristas for, not to be forced into some impossibly niche role that nobody wants to play.

There is no good reason to change Gurstas so drastically. Many Guristas pilots trained to use sentries for a Snake and that is what we want to use, not be forced into switching into Gallente ships due to an inability to see reason on the part of certain devs. Currently the only commonality between Guristas is the use of drones. Missiles, shield bonuses and the hull and ship maneuverability all belong to Caldari. There is no overlap with Gallente.

Nice importing, word for word, of your argument from the Cruiser thread, while adding absolutely nothing to it save for calling me a dumbass.

Personally, I'll take a ship that trades some of it's "versatility" and overall lackluster performance for one that decides to become slightly more specialized and suddenly becomes a lot better at doing things despite (or perhaps because of) the alteration. Also please explain to me how "high DPS, high shield tank brawler" is an "impossibly niche role that nobody wants to play".

damn, dat fed navy hammerhead
