Worked, No download.

Problem is, How else do you use a castle mk II for combat?
If the devs overnerf the shield-tanking, it becomes a pricey toy.

Active Armour = dead in 30s< ( but boasting will be a laugh pvm )
Not enough highs for ew to be effective.
No Slots for neuts?  ( but that role is "taken" )
No way to use your capacitor bonuses to inflict something?!?
( Plated - better off in a wasp or castel mk 1)

Just ends up being a super support bot for fast moving gangs, Nexus.. masking... detection
Castel Mk I seems to have a very very very narrow theme.

I'd like to see alot of the robots given more fitting options Missiles/Neuts/Guns.
Yagel & Prometheus mk1's are hell on earth to fit & use with some tactic. Would one extra module slot on the mk1 lights hurt?!? .. minimal fit OPTIONS then?

The mark two version require masses of ep to try make the fit & use. A Yagel mk II doing it's Armour boosted repair will quickly end up splatted.. if you can get the fit on the bloody thing! ( pointless in group warfare )
The Prometheus mk II is very enjoyable for some reason, But I've never found it very practical?

Castel MK II is a low ep shield-tanking-monster or a delightfully easy to fit pvm toy?
While unlike the other factions, it can hide behind hill and dps if needed!
It can threaten anything daft enough to play hill-Games alone.... a personal fav of mine :s

It's going to get nerf'd ( rightly so ) But until they figure out a new green robot theme.. it will remain unchanged?Unless they added modular robot design and focused on module balance instead?

Nooo, I want a weee speed boost on combat fit robots ( not lwf t2 e.w dependent gank fits )
So I have a chance to get away or draw their tackle afew meters ahead ` `

can’t out run them, can’t tank them, Can’t evade them, can’t out dps em’

My waspish in 10< to a kain no matter what I do it ;p
ofc I could lwf fit it, but then I can't kill nothing ._.

Tyranos will out run my waspish with the same fit + lwf, but do it all better.
hp, dps, range, speed, tank - it will kill lights as it does heavies.

No real light class in the game, just half-wit budget cut robots.

We're all gonnna dieeeeee

Game is split into two main blocks anyway, they spend 99% of their time making NIC. I fail to see how static sides would help.

if you hang round the main stations you can get most of the basic t1 mods from spawns for cheapy.
I resell my pvp stock for x4/5 what I got it for when the market goes blank.

game appears short of people with afew mill and 5k of market ep lol

Can’t  make insurance too good ( I'd like it tho )
I used to rambo fly Typhoons/Dominixs in EVE with best named and t2 passive hardeners!
I lost 2mill ISK via clone costs & a 3% implant once insurance paid out rofl

Ok wasn’t the best type of mods for the job but 70% effectiveness for nearly no loss?!?
When I got a good kills tho.. I walked away with millions in lewt.

What has

-No evasive  need
-No modal timing
-No cap issues
-No Risk of death vs. many Robots and EP Levels.

And takes away,

Line of Sight play
Ability to tackle back (and thus kill anything - “I win” )
Removes all possible usage of many light robots due to slot limitations
Makes all other tackle obsolete

The other EW bots yield good effects but require careful use and timing.

It Degrades the standard of play/skill to ruinscape rightclickism.

People use them as tackle alts while playing with their main… with no risk or concern for it.

Would be fun if they added real effects not just visaul to the weathers?

Fog on the blue islands effects idk… armour resistances globally ( alpha and beta )
Fog on green island could have the hue changed and.. err... lower cap recharge rates lol

Bad weather.. good weather :>

Is a strange alien planet after all ;p Plus it might screw around with gang tatics lol

Turns out the neuting waspish was a pile of poo with my skills. It took a Medium Plate & Kenntic Hardener to take an arby down… even then the dps from a arhke ment we both died. ( can't fit both )

By the time the neut takes effect …I’m dead... light robots I can out dps and the troians just take it and laugh.. mechs deal with me rather quicky.
You'd of killed me quickly if it wasn't for the hill I stopped on ;p

I switched my level 3 neut/nos skills for some more armour, doubles up for pve then as well.
