So obviously our opinions are going to vary on this one. Here's my reasoning (for right now, outside of the mentioned missile changes I have heard a few words about). Even with 25% bonus to explosion velocity, torps still aren't going to do great damage against smaller sized ships, and cruise aren't exactly amazing either.<br /><br />The minmatar now don't have any kind of drone ship in their arsenal, nor any non-carrier that can field five+ heavy drones. The typhoon didn't get much more armor and has more base shield than armor, but has more lows than mids.<br /><br />I see the amarr change, especially the geddon change, as a pretty big deal. Geddon's aren't used much currently, but after the change? every fleet will have one because of heavy neut range being a pretty big deal. Means that a geddon with two-three neuts will be staples in almost every fleet, casting out a net of neut-death for smaller ships all around it. Meanwhile it's main weapon system will be drones and is not cap-dependent, leaving cap aplenty for whatever lasers it wants to mount or more importantly neuts it wants to fit.<br /><br />I could respond more with my first impressions but I don't want to change a comment response into a huge post :)Logan Fyreitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020193253139376508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7616244196108776097.post-17353207846508035512013-04-08T13:15:07.412-07:002013-04-08T13:15:07.412-07:00How the fuck is the phoon a biggest loser?

Extra midslot gives the ship some much needed defensive options, while retaining 7 lows for an active/passive tank. I don't see how Minnie or Gal is "losing" this round, or how Amarr is "winning". If anything, the only really questionable change I've seen so far is the Mega slot layout change, which is admittably bold of CCP.Sard Caidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04407851691419341069noreply@blogger.com
