Not so much. :) Sat, 28 Nov 2009 00:28:09 +0000 http://www.rifterdrifter.com/2009/11/assault-frigates-what-would-you-change/#IDComment44971914 http://www.rifterdrifter.com/2009/11/assault-frigates-what-would-you-change/#IDComment44965240 I agree, an agility bonus would be nice as well. With regards to the damage output, I did throw in the caveat about an experience pilot vs. an ishkur. My point was more that for the cost of an AF vs. the Rifter, there really should be a more proportionate damage output than there is.

At all Lvl5, a rifter with a Gyro, 3x220 and RL (all, Barrage, T2 and non rigged) delivers 123 DPS w/ a volley damage of 249. A Jaguar with the exact same damage setup only delivers 149 DPS and 301 volley damage. The big difference is the EHP and the higher EM resist. Relative to their cost <225K vs. 26M ISK>, the Minmatar (cause I don't fly the others) AFs should have higher damage potential. I agree with the tracking boost, but I think a speed boost along with a little love given to the RL would bring it in line with the cost. We don't have the extra drone space as the Ishkur (200DPS w/ Warrior IIs) and let's face it, it would eat a Jag for lunch (barring pilot skill differences) nor do we have the unlimited ammo or reload time of a blaster AF. Not many people have the skills to be all lvl 5 so realistically, damage is way lower. The RL boost would also help the Vengeance AFs. tl;dr; - Jaguar - I agree w/ Options 1 & 2 and throw in RL love. This should bring it in line with the cost. Wolf - I think both 1& 2. I also think costs should remain where they are as they should cost alot given the damage potential.
