You didn't even experience the new ship yet. How can you say it's bad? Because it does not have battleship weapons that in a real fight situation against bombers won't help you more than transport or even lvl 1 starbeam turrets? With reduced hull that can still compare with heavy cruisers?

It's bad to be obsessed with transforming other people's cool toys into less-cool toys.
I've said it before, a standard Btrans like the Bison can kill a Storta.
Imagine what a beefed up Bison would do to something like a Ranseur or Marduk, especially with the DPS put out by Charon transport turrets.
Don't judge a book by it's cover. Maybe the next biggest Disco PvP trend will turn people to Nephs.

Not really giving me a choice to try it before deciding are they? You don't have to take stuff away, you could just add new stuff and provide incentives for people to use it.

Sure, if all 24 of it's hard points were mounting charons and its core was able to sustain the fire.
And yet unlike a bison, inrp a neph doesn't have the luxury of limping to the nearest station after a battle.

Then where's the problem? Because afaik, it most likely will be able to.
I think the problem here isn't that it's Zoners, exactly. If it were any other play group people would probably be up in arms about how the devs are shafting another player group by changing up their junk without consulting with the people it'll affect and behaving like that's a-okay because 'you play this for free' (even though the community is what makes the mod work more than the mechanics behind the game). The only reason people aren't more buttflustered over it is because, hey, "it's just the zoners".
just an observation after reading the zonerzoner threads.
