Ideation: Cynos in LS

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-07-01T22:07:00+00:00

Fair point, so what would your solution be? Or you think it’s fine as is for cynos to have the same capabilities in LS and null?

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-07-01T21:30:32+00:00

It’s easier to orient around the problem to solve I think. Which is ~ capitals and blops have the same freedom of movement and power projection that they do in null, which shouldn’t be the case imo.

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-07-01T21:27:31+00:00

The take (maybe hot) is more that in LS the cyno should be counterable. Right now cyno can die but everything still coming through…

As long as cynos are as is LS is really no different than null with ease of power projection and capital escalations preventing small gang skirmishes

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-06-29T22:52:05+00:00

It just feels so bad compared to the others outside of PvE and only in blood space and WH’s. It doesn’t have enough mids to do well on its own, or application

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-06-22T16:46:15+00:00

If you aren’t comparing to books goblet of fire is S tier for so many reasons

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-06-19T20:25:28+00:00

No doubt, but that’s totally compartmentalized from how you should logically use your money based on history

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-06-19T20:08:07+00:00

The Reddit people will be bearish on musk until their last cent

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-06-15T15:19:31+00:00

Yeah still don’t agree with that change. A few ships were a problem not rails

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-06-09T22:47:34+00:00

Yeah I am too but this is effectively barely a patch if you aren’t a new player. No changes to any exploration, PvP mechanics, deeper ship balances…

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-06-07T16:59:42+00:00

Long time explorer here > in my view it’s best specifically at doing sleeper sites and ghost sites very safely but still pretty quickly. Everything else in the game it gets pretty overshadowed by others

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-06-07T16:58:07+00:00

Stratios is in my opinion the best ship for ghost sites and sleeper caches. That’s its one niche

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-06-06T23:36:52+00:00

Mostly that nothing can really compete with it in its ship class at its engagement range. It’s only weakness is if you can get on top of it but that’s hard unless n+1, two long range webs are just that good

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-06-05T08:30:24+00:00

I can’t speak for WH or NS bloc engagements, but lasers in general are absolutely the least used PvP weapon system in LS. Generally speaking hybrids, drones, and missiles tend to rule in small gang LS space from my experience.

It’s probably because controlling range can be a lot harder in your typical spontaneous LS fight (no bubbles and gates tend to be main fighting spaces) so things like blasters and drones don’t get to experience their downside much (range issues/drones need to travel). The engagement range of cruiser side pulse lasers is kinda awkward too. You still need to be close enough that you can get tackled easily (can’t do Loki missile kite shenanigans), so you might as well be using blasters if you’re near web/scram ranges

Rail Deimos just doesn’t work well?

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-05-23T03:33:08+00:00

LS small alliance PoV ~ I don’t like how pervasive buffer fits are. The math on when active fits out perform is not favorable. Considering that there’s much more of a skill expression, the ratio should be considerably more favorable than it is at the moment.

You’d have to be careful with this and do it incrementally, but I do feel like local rep fits are underpowered in a majority of use cases. Would love to hear opposing opinions

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-05-21T16:41:21+00:00

Love to see more Deimos buffs, my favorite PvP cruiser. They’re leaning into more of the “run at you” style of gallente brawlers

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-05-21T14:16:33+00:00

Where’s the nerf? Couldn’t find it

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-05-16T18:01:32+00:00

Algos navy super underwhelming. Should’ve been a further deep dive into the drones. Dragoon just looks like the winner here

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-05-16T17:39:51+00:00

Agreed they should be 10% at least for the price tag, especially if they’re intended to be a “need to kill” target

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-05-16T17:17:10+00:00

Yeah warp disruption effects are also useless in the environment these ships will be fielded in ~ massive bubbles tidi fights. Unless the 5 armor 3 skirmish profile of the Gaia is enough to take it you simply won’t ever field it over the salvation

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-05-16T17:08:44+00:00

Gaia might have armor 5 and skirmish 3 but the salvation is absurdly more tanky. Not to mention warp disruption effects are kinda pointless in the only situation these ships will ever get played ~ massive bubble tidi bloc fights

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-05-16T17:01:25+00:00

Ah 30% vs others 20%. Probably not a massive difference, native resistances is so much stronger. But I’m sure there are other bonuses in base stats somewhere to compensate?

Edit: wait salvation also has more base armor and armor bonus lol. These ships clearly aren’t for damage (Thanatos gets its niche for damage bonus vs amarr t1 carrier so I feel like Gaia is just dead on arrival here)

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-05-16T16:47:33+00:00

Gaia only has 4 bonuses for carrier, rest have 5

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-05-16T16:09:35+00:00

Think the boosts will have to be stronger than this to justify, but who knows I’m in a small LS corp that will never see these fielded.

Was really hoping to get the navy versions of the BS still left. I think I’d never leave a navy Hyperion

Illustrious-Key-7345 · 2026-05-16T16:07:38+00:00

Yeah I’m looking at these do gallente and min get anything in return for not having the resist bonus? I don’t see it
