Quote:What's with the nerfs on BW ships? Aren't they kind of like civilian ships for everyone who isn't house military or house corp?

Mollys, rogues, etc have sammaels. Sabre with sammaels is doom machine.
.86 Sammael:
Hull Damage: 292 /round
Power Usage: 61 u/round
.87 Sammael:
Hull Damage: 292 /round
Power Usage: 83 u/round
.86 Vengeance:
Hull Damage: 255 /round
Power Usage: 55 u/round
.87 Vengeance:
Hull Damage: 273 /round
Power Usage: 55 u/round
In general, 99% of the guns in .87 received a buff.
However, Rogue ships are meant to be bulky, large and slow, while their weaponry is meant to be strong/advanced. And since they abused the 90% BW tech in .86 so much, they got punished with 75% nerf. /irony off
/edit: Though, as LR leader I got to admit that I don't care about BW tech, since I've mostly used pure tech in the past. Which was actually well balanced with the Sammael's advantage in .86. But now that this advantage is gone, I don't dare to fly my Rogues in Lolberty anymore. And I highly doubt that the Sabre + Sammaels combination was that op, since I've never seen anyone using it. I just got the fear, that the Rogue indie population will decrease even more with that nerf. Because people's faction choice often depends on the tech.
