With the current pirate capitals trend. Is the Angel dread going to be a Naglfar with bonuses to warp speed?

The angel rag would be a warp speed bonused optimal range bonused rag. So, you know, 300km optimal artillery with short range ammo.

I haven't seen massed dreads with long range weapons since B-R. Short range has been the default for years.

Honestly, thinking more Cruise Phoenix, since the Citadel Torp Phoenix is so poo poo.

One problem with the long range weapons on dreads atm is that they really shine with T2 ammo, but T2 turrets are still relatively rare amongst much of capswarm.

I even trained Citadel torps to 5 to be ready for patch.

Now I'm training into T2 capital projectiles. Because as good as the Rev is at the moment. I don't expect CCP to let it remain on top for long.

Anyone here have the pulse of what's going on with our allies in Stainwagon?

As far as I can tell, INFAMOUS (aka Lenny Kravitz's alliance) just got taken over by some ex-Brave who are afraid they may lose their ratting space, and their renters may or may not have just bent the knee to FCON (?!). I don't know the history of these groups very well and reddit is as reddit does so I'm sure that's not a complete telling, but it looks like a poo poo show.

B-R used long range ammo?

For me I remember the meta used to be long range guns all the time during Great War 1/2 campaigns - then I came back from 4 years of inactivity in 2013 and found out that it had all switched to short range meta.

Not to mention the warp speed changes means that anything that warps slower than a dictor runs a great risk of being pounced on by a short range weapon fleet.

Most of the dreads at B-R were probably "omega fleet" fit. There was this thing we tried during the halloween war called omega fleet. Somebody mathed it out and said you needed like 46 or 56 arty nags to alpha slowcat carrier.

Thats great! we can put hundreds of dreads on field at a time! It turns out eve math and what the server actually does are two different things.

Yes 40 or 50 nags can alpha a slowcat carrier, but when 2000+ nerds are in system, 10x that many sentry drones are pooped out and firing and the node is on fire it doesnt actually happen.

The long range guns were to sit outside of bouncer II optimals and not get shredded by slowcats

Right I was in capswarm at the time - but PL adapted to that in like 3 days by offloading the logistics part of the slowcat fleet to Aeons, allowing the Archons to fit drone link augs that gave them the range to fire back to Nag range anyway (wrecking ball). Plus if I recall correctly we were sold long range guns, but were only supposed to equip them if asked. I lost my Nag in HED- and my quad 3500s stayed in G-0 until recently when they changed the packaged gun size and I was able to sneak them both out in a blockade runner.

I don't think omegafleet was ever actually fielded, since PL just fixed the flaws in less than a week.

I think they should up the lock range of dreads. Like what's the point of xl tremor when you can't even get to your optimal without 3 sebos.

I can agree with that. It's a pretty big oversight when minmatar guns operate in falloff.

up thread there was talk about Angel cap warp speed. If nothing has changed since I looked, back when caps were allowed to take gates again, all caps including freighters, supers, and titans have the same 1.5 AU/s warp speed. Completely devoid of personality because why would you warp a capital am I right?

I was kind of "meh" when the warp speed differences came out, and thought it would mostly affect logisticians. To CCP's credit, it's had a fun effect on the PVP meta and is relatively balanced. BS and BC could probably stand to be a touch faster in warp by default, but on the whole it works well.

That was the other reason, it was a two birds/one stone situation, because were having limited success against pure archons by zapping them with 200 celestis and DPSing with 400 megas - the damps combined with the inevitable tidi of the sentry drone era allowed us to actually dent their carriers, as was shown in Z9PP. Anyway I'm pretty sure the wrecking ball concept was revealed explicitly to counteract our omegafleet announcement.

No not really but thought it prudent to catch up on what I have been missing in game. I plexed up some accounts with the intention of actually logging in and moving and then... didn't. I still might someday maybe. Dunno. Took inventory and realized that I have way too many interceptor pilots. If I could multibox worth a poo poo maybe I could be the next sa matra. Perhaps I'll care enough to log in again someday. Someday. (PCUs keep dropping)

There is a world of difference between 100 meta fit TEST carriers and a 255 man titan-boosted PL Slowcat fleet. Even if you could theoretically take on the latter with subcaps, there isn't a node in the world that could support the numbers you'd need.

Why would you want to rejoin after all the terrible things you've said about us since you left? Who do you think would treat you with any kindness if they had read SA for the last 3 months?

Maybe you'd be better off analyzing why whatever whims you followed when things looked bad have changed now that things are looking up. It's not an attractive personality trait to front-run.

So you tell Pandemic Horde for a month that Goons are cancer, they ruined the game, and that you joined them to finally be free of the hostile and toxic place that is Waffe. So why would anyone let you back in? I find it funny that you said all that poo poo on SA and all that poo poo in horde and expect to be welcomed back with open arms now that we are back to the swing of things.
