Really useful video, hope you keep them up! We don't see alot of UA-camrs doing this sort of videos about patch notes and it's easy to miss really cool changes. Thank you!
well as ccp stated in patchnotes nergal/ikitursa will do now a bit more damage at max ramp - before patch it was 4x damage, but now it's 0.8 * 5.25 = 4.2x damage. So it's extra 20% of base damage at max ramp for them
No. Its not the same dps. Its the same damage per LAST SHOT. Per second its LOWER. You were dealing less dps all the time BEFORE last shot, first 12 cycles of smaller damage.
What really would have made the Bellicose more usable would be if they increased the cargo capacity. The unusually small cargo capacity of 315 m3 really hinders small scale looting in PVE and any fits that rely on Cap injection are not able to load out with much. That stat probably steers people towards the Caracal more than anything. That said, the PG increase could be a nice addition.
I wish they would have very slightly buffed some T1 cruisers along with the caracal nerf. Omen’s are still useless, I haven’t seen ruptures for a while. I actually use the Bellicose frequently, so we’ll see how these changes help!
ive been investing in ruptures lately and it does feel pretty weak tbh.....but at my lower price ranges its mostly all i got really. Cant say i liked the bellicose when i tried it, but maybe its better now perhaps?....
The preoverheat seems to be what people are excited about. I really wish they would make it so it would remember which sites you've scanned when looking at the exploration agency window so you don't accidentally keep running back to a system you've already scanned! I mostly get around it by not using it unfortunately, I'll just either jump into a wormhole or plot a long route around nullsec. Any chance you've got a video on the micro jump drive in the works? Wondering if it would be good for a passive shield drake to give shields a chance to regen. Or is it best for kiting, then for survivability it's best just to fit more tank? Love your videos, it's made this newbros introduction into the game much smoother. 😊
Target painter stock is going up. Now Vedmaks and Osnis don't wreck tackle quite so freely, so that's another reason to bring a Bellicose in your gang and paint up frigates.
hey captain, I wanted to thank you for your c2 gnosis fit you made a few months ago, because it was the best fit I ever used so far. I named it "Benzie's Wrath" in your honour.
My favorite part is that the Bellicose is now not garbage. It's faster and does more dps than the caracal. It can also apply better with hams and heavies.
I remember all the weird drone capacities it use to have initially. 35 then 40 until they finally brought it up to 50. Even multiples make it so much nicer.
RIP me... I waited too long to skill into a Nighthawk. I bought and fitted one hours before the patch dropped lol. Oh well, should still be fun to fly.
Awesome video as always What do you think about the Triglavian weapon nerf? Is it something to be worried about? Sorry I use Kiki for C13 and double Dreks for C3s with my buddy Leshaks for c5s as you know
Hi Benzie. Entropic nerf seens to have no positive lining as you seem to think. To tak your example of 500 dps ship today with 2.5 it goes up to 1250 and with the change ti will now start from 400 dps (500x0.8) and thn use 3.125 as factor and go back up to .... drum roll ... 1250. So it is just a big nerf it seems ... It does not give "slightly larger end dps" as you seem to suggest.
Exequrior Navy was always bonkers if someone know how build them. They were Suicidal. Get Polarized and some armor and dps was T3 cruiser lvl on cheap. Add booster for sensors and you was instead locked on drop. Ppl just try too much survive in those fly gun cans. For Bellicose... it's nice but what keep him down is low cargo hold not powergrid or speed. Plus it's EW ship. I think buff for 7.5 to 10% target painter will be nice. Personal I want some buffs to T1 cruisers. Omen have joke bonuses, Maller is ? I don't have bloody idea okish?, Thorax is a meh, Vexor is ok spot, Stabber is you can leave it like this. Repture need a little buff(Mb change Missile spot for gun spot?).
@captainbenzie I'm testing the waters now. Newbie alt, alpha style for now. I MIGHT fire up the main again. He's got 7ish years' worth of SP so...🤷 I don't even know if I can remember login 😂. I've got a perfect Vindicator, Proteus, Guardian, Onieros, Bhaalgorn, Vigilant, Astarte and a pretty decent Thanatos, sadly though, no more triage. That's for the new (to me) capital logi. Tempting... I even figured out how I could 1v1 a drifter battleship using my blaster Deimos 😉 That Deimos was such a great ship on my way out...😮💨 The Ishtar had been so badly beaten up by the nerf bat though 😳 😬 😕
Problem with the trig balancing is that it makes the ship worse and worse for PvE. Especially with many targets. I was planning to go into Trigs, but this practically just pushes me into better ships.
I still use my Kiki for C13s and I still use the Ikitursa a lot for C3s and Abyssals. They're still great for pve, this was my point at the patch notes, they've not made them BAD, they're just not as ridiculous as they once were (and PvP is where that nerf is felt the most since swapping targets to push past logi isn't as powerful anymore)
Not much they can do except ban the most egregious. Personally, I just left those channels and found a good corp to teach me instead. Much better and more tailored.
@@captainbenzie Make the referral links and rewards, alt specific; and lock rewards to the alt, so they cannot be sold, traded or gifted. That stops the hundreds of different F2P accounts set up to push links to a particular account; then we dont have to play whack a mole with dozens of new alts every day; and the resale value of the rewards no longer becomes an incentive. I am disabled, and cannot commit to a player corp, as I dont know from one hour to the next if I am able to play; plus for years I have enjoyed helping new players out when they joined CAS; that is very difficult when suddenly 3-4 bots post their SP spam and the dialogue you were having is 100+ lines off of the screen. CCP already have the majority of the coding to hand for the suggestions I made above; they just dont give a fuck - which is why I refuse to sub any longer; with my limited playing capabilities, Alpha isnt much of a downgrade; all I really miss are MWDs and Salvage Drones
your videos are what brought me back to eve online. Sometimes its best just to play the old games because the new ones well we all know what they have turned into.@@captainbenzie

Thanks, will do!
Minor correction: the trig ships will do the same DPS at maximum ramp. 0.8*3.125 = 2.5. They just start at a lower base DPS now

@@MadProgger no its not 20% extra damage... 10% of 4 is .4 so its 5% but still its a shit tonne of damage in the long run 5% of 4 is .2
@@teabaggin i specifically mentioned BASE damage
No. Its not the same dps. Its the same damage per LAST SHOT. Per second its LOWER. You were dealing less dps all the time BEFORE last shot, first 12 cycles of smaller damage.

I do agree but this is still a nice buff!

Some T1 minor buffs would be nice for sure

The rapid light missile velocity bonus removal nerfs the ONI, so, they did address it along with the ExeNI.
True, but only with one of its three systems.
Training up for the Vedmak as part of the Bootstrap Challenge. May make the completion a bit more challenging with lower damage start.
It's not really a "nerf", more that the downside to the system is actually a downside now

Glad you're enjoying! I've not got a dedicated video in the works yet, but I'll put it on the list!
They didn't fix the typo in tye daily Iris mission it still reads 'paragons gift' instead of 'paragons grift'
Target painter stock is going up. Now Vedmaks and Osnis don't wreck tackle quite so freely, so that's another reason to bring a Bellicose in your gang and paint up frigates.
Excellent!!
They added LP transfers back in, but its implementation is still like they got an intern to ship it. Where is the transaction log for it?!?!
With time.
hey captain, I wanted to thank you for your c2 gnosis fit you made a few months ago, because it was the best fit I ever used so far. I named it "Benzie's Wrath" in your honour.
That's awesome! Glad it's working and I'm honoured!!
New to the game and your videos have been so helpful !!! Absolute mad lad Thankyou
Glad to help!
They didn't mention fitting changes. My Rifter went from positive CPU to negative after the update, making my fit from the day before unusable after.
This is a common bug during updates. I've had it on ships and then it resets a day or two later.
@@captainbenzie thanks, I'll double check it
My favorite part is that the Bellicose is now not garbage. It's faster and does more dps than the caracal. It can also apply better with hams and heavies.
Huzzah!

Excited for the Firetail finally. I've had one forever, and just don't fly it, because... meh, as you said. Time for a refit.
I've always run it as an artillery kiter but it just never quite had the damage. Now autos look functional!
RIP me... I waited too long to skill into a Nighthawk. I bought and fitted one hours before the patch dropped lol. Oh well, should still be fun to fly.
Still s good ship, just not oppressively so!
Awesome video as always

Leshaks for c5s as you know
Nah, nothing to be worried about. In PvP, it means you can't swap targets as readily. That's it.
In pve where you rarely got close to your full spool its a pretty significant nerf

So it is just a big nerf it seems ... It does not give "slightly larger end dps" as you seem to suggest.
I corrected that later in the video. Yes, it's a nerf, but not a huge one. It just gives Disintegrators an actual downside.
Exequrior Navy was always bonkers if someone know how build them.
They were Suicidal. Get Polarized and some armor and dps was T3 cruiser lvl on cheap.

Indeed
Im 2nd then, its been a few months wonder if my comvat skills are done yet
🤞
my ikitursa got about an extra 150 dps now sitting on 3661.x dps.. thats over heated
Still s great ship, just has an actual downside now 😊
@@captainbenzie takes a bit longer to kill ships now... still going to put the fear of some in thier head.
My abyssal ikitursa got nerfed!! No more firestorm
Have you tried it since? I've found it still works for J-Space ratting just fine.
Heh, that Astarte buff sounds pretty good, all these years after i left the game 😂
Maybe time to come back? 😉

Still nothing to deal with the unending SP spam in starter corps chat channels.
