New Destroyers, Gallente and Missiles
The tiericide going on with Frigates, Destroyers and Cruisers got me thinking about Gallente and their use of missiles.
Part of the revision has the Tristan becoming a true Drone boat and the only frigate able to actually field 5 small drones. The other comparable frigates are all various flavors of missile attack boats.
The new destroyer also has no love of missile launchers (while the other destroyers are all either missile boats or, in the case of Amarr, partly missile boats)
So where does that leave the Gallente with Missiles?
The Nemesis looks more and more out of place in this context. In fact, it's now the first Gallente boat that requires (or even vaguely encourages!) any kind of missile training. I'd guess that the next generation of Nemesis pilots will actually be Caldari pilots who decide that the training time for Gallente Frigate V is worth it to get the Thermal Bonus rather than Kinetic.
Here's what I'd suggest, make the Nemesis actually fit the doctrine for the Gallente
Roll bonus
+50% MWD of Heavy Drones
Level Bonus
+20% per Covert Ops level of Heavy Drone Thermal Damage
+10% Drone Hitpoints per Covert Ops level
Strip it of three high slots and give it +1 low
125m3 bandwidth and 250m3 drone bay (note, if this is too much, add the roll bonus to make Heavy drones smaller... the goal is two full flights of heavy drones)
Rip away the PG and CPU needed for the three launchers
With perhaps some other tweaks that I'm missing. The bottom line is, make it a drone bomber! Then us Gallente pilots would actually have something to skill up into ;) and the last Gallente missile ship would be gone.
