Yep there still sucking high wind compared to other Gunnery systems.
But they are better off then they were before.
Edit: What I mean is there will be no massive huge move to Hybirds but the people that are already using them will feel a little better off as now some better fits become avalible. Bigger guns and what ever alse you can come up with on EFT waring. |

Revisit Gallente ships and make sure their drone bays are sufficient to take advantage of this. There's more then one way to skin a cat.
As much as I love this ideal and it should be implemented. That boost omost every ship in the game. There are very few ships in this game with out a drone bay and most of them make up for this in other ways too. |

Today in the top twenty we have: 3 Caldari 10 Minmatar 4 Amarr 2 Angel
0 Gallente
Anyone see that changing with the current set of fixes on SISI?
Ahh Ya I would not bet your paycheck or hold your breath if your waiting for Gallente ships to hit the top 20's. And if by some freak changes they do it would proble be a Drone boat do to the new Tech 2 Drone Modules not becouse of Hybirds. |

You will get no flaming from me that more or less covers most blaster ships ranging from battle ships to cruisers. Med and Large hybirds suck. Small and Capital are fine.

Maelstrom has the most powerful tank of all t1 subcaps. Of all races.

Jazz Styles wrote:This has probably been covered, but how about changing the armour rep bonus (obsolete) to a afterburner/mwd speed bonus, and the putting it on the gallente ships that are supposed to be blaster boats.
- Thorax & Deimos (remove the cap bonus and replace with speed)
- Hyperion
- Megathron? (Great blaster boat, but that tracking bonus is pretty sweet, and if the hyperion gets speed, it'll probably end up being better overall).
- Brutix and its variants.
- Myrmidon (I don't see this as a blaster boat, so change the rep bonus to be a hybrid damage bonus to make it a lighter version of the Dominix)
Just no on the Myrmidon thing it's a drone boat thats why you dont see it as a blaster boat.
And yes it do's need it's bonus changed as well as the Dominix too. The Myrmidon needs to drop that rep bonus and the Dominix needs to drop that Hybird bonus and they both need it replaced with a 10% to armor hit points bonus to the ship it's not the drones if that's what anyone's thinking. |

comparing a cynabal and vigilant is analogous to comparing a race car to a bear trap. they have two completely different applications. Agreed, its about understanding the role of a ship. Sure, Gallente ships have a harder time switching targets and reaching them, but when you do, you apply stupid amounts of damage. Use a fast crusier to tackle, and with the tracking bonus, logistics melt even faster. Maybe its the WH PvP slugfests we do on top of wormholes..
Yes it is the kind of PVP that normaly happends in WH PVP that make Blaster boats usefull still as they have always been very usefull in small gangs and smaller fleet fights.
But as the numbers Rise in a fleet fights the less likely you are to see a Hybird/Drone/Missile BS fleet of any kind at higher levels were High levels of dmg projection realy matter becouse you got to melt that other fleet faster then they can melt you and there for the travel time of blaster ships lower dps of rails and travel time of both missiles and drone pluse other missile/drone problems realy leave only Projectiles and Lazers as the only truely usefull Major fleet fight weapons.
Thats the nut shell and the only way I see out of it is..
1.) Give Caldari and Gallente usefull PVP Missile and Drone BS.
OR
2.) Make Hybirds the equel of Projectiles and Lazers buy turning Rails into a Kin/Therm verson of Beams zero reload time on Rails and Blasters into a Kin/Therm verson of Projectiles with 10sec reload time same as autocannons.
And no one realy whats the second option.

If you're referring to the 7.5% rep bonus, it's generally accepted that local repping is an inferior option for pvp (granted it works on the myrmidon if you put 3 medium repairers on, but not many others can do that). This is why you don't see many hyperions, or armour tanked brutixes etc. The idea with changing that bonus to aid speed is to let blaster boats do what they're designed to do, better, and local repping isn't one of those things. Kindof missing the point here. The 15% boosters will give close to 20% rep bonus for up to 2 hours and cost roughly 8-15 mil ISK. Because they are removing the side effects of boosters and changing that skill to +5% booster bonus, theres no drawbacks besides a little isk investment. and 1.375*1.19=163% percent normal repping strength, which is pretty nice.
Holy crap hell ya I toltaly missed that and did not even know they were removing penitals on boosters. Any hope that there going to make the legal in High sec.?

Maybe our glass cannons shouldn't be made out of glass?
We fight in the danger zone, yet we are successfully primaried and neutralised long before we actually start laying down the pain.
Outwardly we exclaim and boast about this suicidal nature, but in reality surviviblity is the #1 factor in ship choices, from std missle crows from 2005, to hml drake, abaddons with artillary and the dying embers of the nano age (aka angel).
Drone boats deal with all size classes with utility and arnt completely useless whilst jammed or neuted. And while some are more left field than others, with out realising it every suggestion on how to boost blasters revolves around how do I reduce risk.
If you do not look at the problem "what is the Hybrids Survival stratergy?", your solution will be wrong.
Here is a very simple and maybe pervasive final thought for you all to chew on also.
Maybe Hybirds should not be as good as Projectiles and Lazers.
Maybe just maybe Hybirds are fine and drones on drone ships should be boosted to the same levels as projectiles and lazers.
And maybe just maybe are ships need looked at and reworked as well. |

you are indeed smoking something strong. the Deimos remains the worst HAC in the game. it is overshadowed by the pulse Zealot in every single situation. rails are incompatible with the way Deimos is. the Vigilant is not OP in anyway, neither is any blaster boat in the game. Vigi's and Vindi's will remain (mostly) pretty killmails. i do agree, the Cynabal is ridiculous, and the Tengu needs some serious nerfing because it's the only cruiser that can faceroll through any pve or pvp situation without any risk.
Not that I'm a huge fan of Missiles myself but I think mybe you should fix them for PVP before nerfing the only good non-EW ship that race realy has.

Screw that. Even if it is a Tech 3 ships we need at least 1 fly blaster boat to make up for all the crap ones. |
