What fleet is that - an archon absolution and erebus where are everyone else? Must be another carriers to support or either sc as well, so your 30-50 nagls should be multiplied by 2 at least.

Thanks for comment but really was asking a guy above you.

It was the absolute worst case scenario for the tankiest Archon possible. So that he couldn't later come back and whine about how I misrepresented the EHP of the Archon far lower that it might be. I am fully aware that it is not a very realistic scenario.

And that number if how many it takes to Alpha one Archon, regardless of how many slowcats are trading reps.. Obviously you want to bring more than the bare minimum, but past 40 or so it doesn't matter how many slowcats they have when you fire, since the target dies in one volley.



They work fine in Tidi. They don't work fine in soul crushing lag like HED-GP, but that's quite a bit further past 10% tidi. Nothing worked well there except titan DD's, and that because DD's are far less hampered by module lag than anything else in the game, due to their one shot nature and log cycle timers.

But here's a tip: You balance ships around normal gameplay situations. You do not balance them around soul crushing lag with 3800 people in local.

You are basing your statement about how they need buffs based on how they performed poorly in a super heavy module lag enviroment, far past what the EVE server was designed for. But here's a protip: T1 guns that won't cycle due to module lag resulting in your death during soul crushing lag STILL WON'T CYCLE IF THEY WERE T2.

In any brawl short of the 2k mark, while tidi is significant, module lag is minor. And dreads work just as well as everything else in mere heavy TiDi, until you get so many nerds that the server cries itself to sleep and soul crushing lag emerges.

But once again, nothing you can do will make dreads useful in sole crushing lag. Even if CFC/RUS dreads has doubled damage in HED-GP, they still would have died because the majority of them jumping in with 3500 already in local simply never loaded grid. Of the ones who did, many never could fire or enter siege, due to the lag. While the titans could accept a 5 minute delay on their doomsdays without issues.

TLDR: Ships not performing well in soul crushing lag is not a reason to buff something. Nothing performs well there.

I assume you also support nerfing gankers so that only bringing 1.6 billion ISK in catalysts should be able to kill a 1,6billion ISK freighter?

price is not a balancing factor, CCP has stated that multiple times

Here is my 2 cents on the OP. I can and have perma tanked a single Nyx in my Phoenix while it was only T2 fit. Speaking from the side of the most powerful active tanked ship in the game, I don't think that Moms are way OP but on the flip side it would take me over 2 hours to hammer a Mom which is a little unreasonable in my opinion. That's like a cruiser taking 30 minutes to pop a battleship. I do agree that Dreads do need a firepower increase due to their stand alone design. Not just in T2 weapons but a firepower buff across the board. XL and citadel sized weapons should have a slight buff to tracking, explosion rad/vel, and damage. Add T2 ammo with the same bonuses as smaller ones ie; 75% reduction to tracking and 50% buff to damage. That would make dreads more useful against supers.

You had me at moros using void.

You mean titans may have a use outside of sure wins?

T2 Guns / Missles for Caps.
T2 ammo for caps.

New weapon systems for Caps.

New (many more) Capital Hulls.

Invalid target mechanic applied to smaller sub caps.

kthnx.

I would rather see a new capital counter ship e.g. a focused damage bombs, a second bombing ship.

T2 Capitalguns would be okay for me but your oppinion that 100 dreads should be able to destroy 30-50 supers in a normal combat i can´t share. Yes supers/titans should never be the best ship but that doesn´t mean that every player who´s pissed because he can´t buy one should be able to destroy it easily.
