Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I feel there are too many cruiser hulls that do more dps than combat battlecruisers do .. and some ships that are just OP on damage .. not including T3's as we know they need there nerf cycle first

Gallente
vexor - change drone bonus to medium drones, 50/100 bay
Navy vexor - reduce drone bonus to 7.5% damage
Deimos - remove a turret , buff 5% damage bonus to 7.5%
catalyst - remove a turret and high for a 3rd midslot
ishtar - reduce drone bonus to 7.5% damage and reduce heavy drone tracking/speed bonus to 5% 125/250 bay

Guristas
i feel the 2 superdrone experiment is just OP and should be replaced with the normal 5 drone system and all droneboats have -1 slot for a reason these should follow that too, removing a lowslot each restricts the dps output from getting OP

Worm - switch the missile damage to a role bonus, then use the 10% light drone damage bonus as the gallente bonus per lv
25/50 bay, remove a lowslot

Gila - switch the missile damage to a role bonus, then use the 10% medium drone damage bonus as the gallente bonus per lv
50/100 bay, remove a lowslot

Rattlesnake - switch the missile damage to a role bonus at 25% as 50% is too much and outshines the navy scorp easily, then use the 10% Heavy/Sentry drone damage bonus as the gallente bonus per lv
125/250 bay , remove a lowslot

Serpentis
i still think 90% webs are far to OP and a combination of nerfing web strength to 45% max should fix it.

vigilant and vindicator - reduce damage bonus

comparatively too other ships in the game of similar class or even higher .. for instance a gila can do 900dps easy which for a cruiser is extremely high even battlecruisers struggle too do that

cruisers doing more dps than combat battlecruisers kind of obsoletes them somewhat

-deimos is perhaps more edge case ... but a nos in exchange for a little dps is no bad thing it has fair amount of dps anyway.
- i feel that cruisers should have lower dps on average then bc's and battleships

battle cruisers advantages are more tank the ability to MJD and fit gang links.
For that the trade off is is maybe a bit less DPS compared to HAC's and Faction/Pirate and full Gank fit crusers.

The trade off the cruisers have is more dps agility for less tank.

I don't see anything wrong with them. and haven't they only just had a balance pass?

Why do you hate Gallente? Also, HACs can't be compared to cruisers or battle cruisers.

That said, giving up a high for a third mid on the catalyst could be interesting, though I can only imagine the gankers reactions.

Is this a joke?

All ships should do 10 DPS from there respective weapons that they there will be no OP or underpowered ships.

You give up hard tackle, a strong tank and you can only use a 2 heavy 2 med 1 light setup

Do you even play this game

I think the issue here isnt that these ships are OP, but that battlecruisers suck.

Vexor is fine as it is.
Navy Vexor is fine as it is.
Deimos is currently powerful, but imo in a good spot.
Catalyst is fine as it is.
Ishtar needs a nerf. Not sure if this should be by nerfing the Ishtar itself or changing Sentries. For example i don't understand why Sentries, as a weapon system that is more in the BS range than in Cruiser / BC, have a 125m Signature Resolution.


Worm was pretty meh before patch, and you want it changed back to underwhelming performance?
Same for the Gila and Rattler?


Also, if the Gila can get 900ish DPS and that is op, then why is there no proposed nerf to the Vigilant?
