Meteor Update

[Shadow Reaper]

The Meteor’s S5 guns have been unlocked so now it’s possible to match its 2S5 to its 4S3 weapons. So for example, loaded with all ballistic repeaters, it bursts for an incredible 6,500 DPS. Additionally its HP has been boosted to 30k. It is still very sluggish to turn; more like a heavy than a medium fighter, and still very fast.

However, it’s signature has been boosted from 6 to 14, so you won’t like this if you like stealth.

The Meteor actually has a nice niche. It kind of fits the role (right now) that I thought my Ares Ion or Inferno would, e.g., go after bigger ships. And it has a bed!

I love the changes with the guns, but making the signature so crazy high ruins it for me. A Sentinel has less than half that signature. That’s a serious nerf.

So now the Meteor signature has been adjusted down to 1/4 what is was and it is back to running stealthy. With a ballistic loadout, it is running at 4.2, which makes it one of the quietest ships in game. That’s with all 6 guns on. I may need to get me one of these and muck around with it. It looks like it has usurped the place of the ballistic Hornet for bushwhacking and highwayman tasks. 6,500 DPS and no heat.

This jumping between sigs of 4 to 14 and back makes he think erkul has the flu. Need to do actual tests. . .
