Wormholes

lol..
I think my wife has one of those.. she uses it to straighten her hair..

Now hopefully they'll add a little 8-ball stick shift for changing modes. "Getting redboxed - downshifting to defensive" lol

Now all we have to know is the price on that ship

I can't wait getting to Pyfa warrior this with C5/C6 Wolf Rayet bonuses on.

That's really disapointing...

I thought that what something is reprocessed into wasn't necessarily what it takes to make it though? For example, I thought for T2 ships you need moon mats and stuff but it'd still only reprocess down to basic minerals.

How is that possible? That's a mistake right Fozzie?

Here it is, the Big Bertha of the ships that still score as small oO 50% heavier than even a coercer. Might compensate with that higher agility and basespeed to get some lower AB/MWD-speeds than a coercer.

So in defensive mode you'd have kinda T1 resist-mini HACs with insane dps in scramrange and still fair velocity with an AB even plated. Also some 40m sigrad.
And in snipermode, those things can lock and hit out to 70km easily with over 200dps. So kinda like Beamretributions, but better on the offense and very crappy on the defense. Sounds supermenacing to both Enyo- and Talwarfleets.
The speedmode strikes me as less intriguing I have to say. I mean this is apparently the mode to get to the fight, where you then go for brawling or sniping depending on what you're set up for.

Now it sounds like one mode to get to the fight and then you'll always switch into the mode you're fitted for (snipe/brawl), but still very intriguing numbers :V

Actually, 600 turret dps at 70k, 1050 at 20k per pilot in a shattered wormhole, would use for carebearing, that for sure.

I'm a bit meh. My hair is naturally straight, and the stats are OK, but not amazeballs outside of a C6 W-R. But anything with small guns is amazeballs in a C6 W-R, lets be honest. Will these cost an arm, a leg and your first-born son for a month after they drop? Yes. Will I be buying them during this time? Nope.

I think they key will be the speed with which you can change modes. In kite mode these will be a wet leaf competitor to Talwars as a kitey snipey ship. Lets be honest, LML kiting wins over small gun kiting. Alpa Cormy's will be a better choice than these for sniping, let's be frank. Mostly because a sniper Cormy gets the range without breaking a sweat, for 17-22M ISK.

5 Lowslots is great - you can pack more deadspace ANP's in to the lows to get stonking resists to go with the 400mm plate that will, 99% sure, gimp your fit so badly you can't even snipe anyway, or brawl, or anything. That'll be a great fillip.

Tank mode will let you take a bunch of these through a frig hole, latch on to some hapless Drake, and then curse as your frig logi gets blapped because frig logi suck balls, always have, always will. So nothing much different there versus bringing a Coercer and dying similarly anyway. (or, let's be honest, just bring a Devoter for 300M ISK downpayment, it'll get more DPS, 10% the tank, and guaranteed pod goo).
