Maybe S-IPDAI improves turret turn rate.

-50% missile ROF seems like a very high penalty for saving 5 OP (cruiser size). I'm assuming that, say, ITU, won't have any penalties and you can just S-mod that instead.

If you don't like the penalty you can just build in a cheaper mod and pay some OP for the difference.

General Discussion / Re: Current thoughts on Eradicator(P)?
« on: January 03, 2023, 08:56:28 PM »
In my latest run, using mostly small high-tech ships in the early game, I found the difference between pirate fleets with Eradicators (P) and without to be stark. Actually hurting them was challenging to say the least - any time I thought I had a leg up and could finally get some damage in they simply armor-tanked it (a neat trick against AM blasters), and the rest of the time it's a mean bully.
Falcon (P)s were pushovers by comparison.

Like all mods more expensive than 5/10/15/25, it simply costs 1 SP.

« on: January 01, 2023, 09:40:54 AM »To bring the kinetics accuracy up, you often need to include armored weapon mounts and turret gyros, along with Gunnery Implants. Elite Ballistics Mastery also helps with the projectile speed.
One thing... distorting?... the topic is that we have much better options for boosting ballistic weapons than we do energy weapons.

This ship gets this many reloads... why? And what happens if I stick it on that ship instead?

I never understood where they got all those Conquests in the first place - as a XIV offshoot shouldn't they have been using primarily Onslaughts and Legions?

Yes, it seems very involved for what it's intended to do.
I get the why of the complications, but they don't seem worth the complexity.

« on: December 27, 2022, 10:56:01 PM »Speaking of the phase lance, they share the same range bracket, and on the surface they would pair together well, with the pulse laser building hard flux and the lance bursting and tearing up hull.
I don't know about that - hardflux weapons and softflux weapons really work at cross purposes - one doesn't care much about softflux, and vice versa for hardflux. Better to go whole-hog.
Fully agreed that the Heavy Blaster a better deal though, or to put it in my own words, either undercosted or overperforming.

Pulse Eagle is pretty cool but suffers from being a high throughput but low cap build - it doesn't have the stamina to really put on the hurt.
In general I've found that giving Eagle fits plenty of caps helps it quite a bit. Heavy armor to let it go shield-down a bit helps as well.

I don't think the pulse laser should be good - or even decent - against heavy armor. That's what phase lances and the blasters are for.
And if armor isn't good against weapons like the medium pulse laser, what is all that plating even for?

Yes, that's how you balance things without powercreep. "Only good" is just another way of saying overpowered.

Just nerf the Heavy Blaster instead.
