Now for a ship that is a bit more common, the dreaded Drake. This is a big change and one that will really affect not just Tengu pilots but all ships that use heavy missiles, but more on that further down. The big thing that is making me think about selling my Tengu is the DPS nerf. Seventy-nine kilometers is still plenty of range to play around with and is well outside most NPC rat's range. The range decrease is rather frustrating but not going to cause many headaches. On top of that, the range will decreased by ~25% which is a loss of ~25.5 km putting you at ~79 km. Now, Fozzie says that they are going to reduce heavy missile damage by 20% across the board so that 609 DPS goes down by 122 DPS to put you at 486 DPS or in simpler terms, "A lot less". That is with the current state of heavy missiles or pre-nerf. The rest of stats are not very necessary since we are only looking at the changes to DPS and range of heavy missiles. Tengu Offensive - Accelerated Ejection BayĪ nice fit that according to EFT puts out ~609 DPS at a range of 106.3 km with my skills (most skills level 5, some level 4).

Tengu Engineering - Augmented Capacitor Reservoir Tengu Electronics - Dissolution Sequencer Heavy Missile Launcher II, Scourge Fury Heavy Missile Before we get into the math, here is the set up of my old ratting Tengu that I used against Angel Cartel rats which will be the baseline. So there you have it the changes to heavy missiles that are being tested right now. Affects all variant Heavy missiles, including FOF. Damage decreased by 20% (rounded to closest digit) I am going to start off with some hard facts focused mainly on what this will mean to heavy missile users and then give out my opinion.įirst the facts, and lets start with a quote directly from the dev blog: Ok, now that you have become informed of the upcoming changes to missiles, lets talk about them. If you have not read it please read it now here (link). Yes, it is the one about missile balancing and the indirect Drake and Tengu nerf. I am sure you can figure out the one that I'm taking talking about. It has been a little bit since my last post and in that time much has happened mainly in the form of dev blogs that have either pissed you off or made you the happiest Eve pilot ever.
