Originally by: Elaine Celeste If a speed-boat (or 30 of them for argument's sake) approaches a large military ship in open waters, they are not going to come close enough to do enough damage.
Actually, such a fight highly favors the speed boats if the warship is alone and the boats have any kind of decent anti-ship missiles. Most large modern warships are designed to tackle large scale air threats and have very limited ability to engage fast moving surface threats. If that warship had carrier air support however, the odds change considerably.

Honestly... if speed-boats are the ****nit all of a sudden, then why aren't modern countries investing in, uh, combat speed-boat technology?
Honestly, the smart ones are. They're cheap, effective, and easy to blend in with regular shipping, but they're very short range so they are limited to coastal use (i.e. local defense, not power projection) and are not very survivable.
But getting back on topic, I'm hoping that with this readjustment to Assault Ships that CCP finally does away with the wasted 4th bonus (the Frigate resist per level bonus) and replaces them with an actual bonus. If these two things happened at once, AFs would be not only fly-able but really very useful. |

The resist bonus is gone on SISI and built into the ship, as it always has been; no replacement yet though. |

That is just frackin' awesome, thanks.
Any word on if this same situation (i.e. racial resists on a T2 ship as a skill bonus instead of inherent) has been changed for Transports too? I can't recall ATM if there are any other holdouts from that era. |

They are unchanged right now. |

Enyo has 10 powergrid advantage over Ishkur but 2 more high slots. A 150mm railgun or standard launcher would be closer to 20 powergrid required. That's an afterburner setup, and not MWD. But that's a general problem with all Roden ships: they're terrible.
Bit of a derail, but feel free to comment on roden design here. |

Originally by: Syrinthal Hey,
Agreeing with the point, AF's are rather fun to fly now - rather enjoyable :D
However, one thing that I think needs to be looked at is that you require 2 webs to be able to kill a light drone in sufficient time.
Other than that - frigs for the most part are quite nicely balanced I find (besides the Ranis, it needs a buff since the speed nerf really makes it more like a weak AF)
2 webs or 1 smartbomb
