Faction ship changes
As some of you may have guessed by now, Dominion release will bring improvements to most in-game faction ships, as we do feel they do not perform properly in their intended roles at the time being.
This thread will focus on upcoming navy ship improvements, meaning Tech 1 hull variants from the four main empire factions (Amarr Empire, Caldari State, Gallente Federation, Minmatar Republic). Other improvements are in the pipeline and will be posted when we feel an initial balance has been reached and ready for player feedback.
Please keep in mind such changes remains subject to modifications with time.
We would also like to thank every one involved in the testing and constructive feedback process so far, as it has proved to be quite invaluable during the first design process. Keep it coming!
I. Navy Frigates:
Due to their split weapon layout and lack of dedicated role, navy frigates usefulness remains quite limited. We plan to turn them into an hybrid of interceptors and Assault frigate classes, combining points of both, being less specialized than the Tech2 hulls, thus more versatile but less resilient.
Amarr Navy Slicer:
• Has been renamed to Imperal Navy Slicer
• New slot layout: 3 high, 2 med and 5 low slots, 2 turrets, no launchers
• Fittings: 115 CPU, 47 powergrid
• Bonuses: 25% to small energy turret damage and 10% to turret range bonus per Amarr Frigate skill level
• Hitpoints: not changed, keeps 50% more hit points buffer next to its tech 1 counterpart (Punisher)
• Capacitor: 500 capacitor, 281.55s recharge (about 1.8 cap/s)
• Speed: 390m/s, 3.3 agility
• Sensor: 31km targeting range, 4 locked targets, 550mm scan resolution, 10 radar sensor strength, 38m signature radius
Caldari Navy Hookbill:
• New slot layout: 3 high, 5 med, 2 low slots, 3 launchers, no turrets
• Fittings: 165 CPU, 37 powergrid
• Bonuses: 20% to missile kinetic damage, 10% to other missile damage, 10% to missile velocity per level
• Hitpoints: not changed, keeps 50% more hit points buffer next to its tech 1 counterpart (Merlin)
• Capacitor: 281 capacitor, 187.5s recharge (about 1.5 cap/s)
• Speed: 370m/s, 3.3 agility
• Sensor: 35km targeting range, 4 locked targets, 600mm scan resolution, 12 gravimetric sensor strength, 40m signature radius

II. Navy Tier 2 Battleships:
Created a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away when they were at the top of the food chain with no capital or T2 hulls to compete with, navy tier 2 battleships actually receive little and disparate boost to their intended role(s). The following changes are aimed to fix this.

What are your thoughts on CCPs proposed changes? -
September 04, 2009, 10:53:32 am
The Navy Mega is now even awesomer for whatever role you put it in

Navy Dominix sounds nice
-

Navy Dominix sounds nice
Could have done with an extra 25/50 bandwidth. -
September 04, 2009, 01:03:15 pm
Because fielding more than 5 heavy drones is awesome! oh wai-Navy Dominix sounds nice
Could have done with an extra 25/50 bandwidth. -
September 04, 2009, 01:03:42 pm
Hoping it looks like the ones in the "Day of Darkness II" video

navay domi! typhoon! -
September 04, 2009, 03:32:19 pm
****NNOOOOOOOO******
What have they done to my beloved Slicer?* SghnDubh cries big sobby tears of anguish -
September 04, 2009, 03:33:35 pm
Did anyone else notice that the caldari one, was the only one which got the same number of highs as weapon slots and was the only one that got 3 weapon slots instead of 2? -
September 04, 2009, 03:59:54 pm
Navythron will be awesome now it has enough cpu to be fit cheaper than 500 million -
September 05, 2009, 01:53:51 am
What's the source btw? -
September 05, 2009, 03:17:55 am
Phoon Fleet! sweet! -
September 05, 2009, 05:26:42 am
All i have to say as a Minmatar player who flew a PvE phoon for a looong time and has a fleet Tempest is: AWESOME!!! I will join faction warfare just for that Typhoon!!!And give the Fleet Pest a 7th turret is very nice!
okay, after further review they have actually nerfed the Tempest even MORE. now it's tank is really going to suck. And adding another turrett hardpoint is not really worth it if they have not fixed Projectile weaponry.
Yeah, after the initial orgasm I had reading that, the tempest changes really blow. The other faction BS are even better than the Pest now.
-
September 05, 2009, 05:55:13 am
and the source is here:
http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1172933
apparently it's on SiSi or will be shortly. hmmm, I need to put Sisi on my laptop now lol -
September 05, 2009, 06:25:13 am
i disagree with that entirely as the phoon changes and pest changes are the rock. -
September 05, 2009, 07:01:00 am
did you really look at the Pest changes? And did you look at how awesome the other faction BS are now? the navy Domi will be the most overpowered ship in the game.
With no published changes to projectile weapons, the new Fleet Pest is going to be worse than the old one. -
September 05, 2009, 07:31:42 am
did you really look at the Pest changes? And did you look at how awesome the other faction BS are now? the navy Domi will be the most overpowered ship in the game.
wtf are you talking about, the fleet pest will be a faster higher utility and longer range megathron
With no published changes to projectile weapons, the new Fleet Pest is going to be worse than the old one. -
September 05, 2009, 09:51:57 am
They removed a midslot, so now it has the same layout as a normal Pest and added a turret point that adds all of about 21dps to the ship.
It will still have less tank and gank than the other Faction BS. if you read the source thread other EVE'ers with more time have done all the postulating for you already. just read it. -
September 05, 2009, 10:19:48 am
New faction BS beside. Makes me want to cry
Here's my thoughts:

SAVE OUR FIRETAIL!!
Please show your support -
September 05, 2009, 12:05:56 pm
navynix is going to WTFSUPERPWNSAUCE everything. it's not even funny, it just will. six mids? super-overkill there ccp. buuuuuuuuuut you know now i'm saving up just for that lol -
September 05, 2009, 08:09:56 pm
Navy Dominix! I want one! -
September 06, 2009, 05:04:59 am
The Fleet Typhoon is pure sex!
Optimized on armor (it's an typical armor tank at least), increased CPU and Grid, increased speed and maneuvrability, along with the ability to carry 5 light, 5 med and 5 heavy Drones. Couldn't be better! -
September 06, 2009, 10:23:24 am
bit miffed that I've sold my 2 spare navy mega's now as it'll hold a flight if sentries and a flight of ecm drones/hammers.
I like the change to the comet,I had one for a day and it was a case of wtf to do with it so I sold it on.overly expensive tristan with an extra low.
I can see the navy domi being hysterically expensive for a while though :/ -
September 30, 2009, 12:06:24 pm
why no abaddon navy issue -
September 30, 2009, 12:07:19 pm
Because there are no navy tier 3 battleships yet. -
September 30, 2009, 03:58:21 pm
there should be. but then, they would all superwtfpwnbbqsauceawesomenessinacan -
September 30, 2009, 04:18:07 pm
great word usage lol -
October 01, 2009, 04:48:40 am
i'm just awesome like that.
on a side note: HOLY BALLS WHEN THE HELL DID I GET 2K POSTS!?!?!?!?!?!? -
October 01, 2009, 05:34:53 am
i'm just awesome like that.
on a side note: HOLY BALLS WHEN THE HELL DID I GET 2K POSTS!?!?!?!?!?!?
When I hacked your account and went onto secret hidden forums and made a few hundred posts =P -
October 19, 2009, 06:28:40 am
Navy Domi FTW.

November 29, 2009, 10:23:48 am
I want some kind of Tech II or faction abaddon. -
March 04, 2010, 05:58:08 am
i looked on anoother site and it says the nacy ravens recharge time is 3390000 and this says its 3390s is it possible that they havent updated it yet
-
March 04, 2010, 06:20:46 am
Quote3390000 and this says its 3390s
3390000ms/1000 = 3390s
We here strive to be more useful, who really works in milliseconds? -
