Looking much better in the client preview, IMO. Bowhead also looking very much the industrial freighter. Good luck to those who fly them.

Hmm...gold plates? Check. Lazers? Check. Looks Amarr enough to me. *shrug*

Amarr is more than gold plates and Lasers, the same way Caldari is more than asymmetry and missiles.
I've not seen the video yet but there's an aesthetic that early concept art was missing.

It's the shape that is different than your usual amarr design, much like the shape is different already in the legion design. Maybe that's intended because :T3:

I need to see it in action, the concepts also have an unfinished look which they banished with the Apocalypse redesign...

It doesn't really look fortress-y enough. Amarr ships tend to look very fortress-y. Sometimes they went all the way and made them look like drifting temples. I'm looking at you, Revelations.

Makoto.... what?! You didn't donate to the Caldari! *demotes*
Title: Re: The Confessor
Post by: Samira Kernher on 27 Nov 2014, 23:20
Makoto did donate most of hers to the Caldari.

Ergo, she will probably have her name on both.

Mixed investment strategy, huh? Very Caldari.

More like a gamble that didn't pay off-- which is also very Caldari. :x

Surely they will have T3 Destroyers for all four factions.
Title: Re: The Confessor
Post by: Samira Kernher on 28 Nov 2014, 20:38
They will, but they are having staggered releases based on the research race results.

So, only Amarr for now, because we won.

Amarr victor!

Does this mean we can also blame the Amarrians for the inevitable "rebalancing" and nerfs to the T3 dessies that will follow at some point?

God would have been less responsible for those sorts of things.

Had my first fight with a Confessor today.
I lost!
I'll tell the whole story, it was quite funny!...

I set out on another crime spree through high-sec Metropolis in my Jaguar. I've got a festive launcher in my utility high, a pile of snowballs, assorted ammunition, synth drop and a bottle of Thukker whiskey.

I patrol the belts, swiping meta 4 loots from wrecks and hurling snowballs at the resident miners. At this point, I must say that miners are the most dour and miserable cunts in the cluster. For all my festive efforts, I get an "asshole" in Local and a private convo consisting of "wtf dude?". The rest are stone-cold silent.

In Finanar, I come across a couple of miners and an MTU. Merrily I start smashing up the MTU whilst bombarding the miners with compacted snow.

A minute of this goes by, then all of a sudden, I'm pointed. That's odd, the miners don't have a lock on me... then a chunk of my shields evaporate. I start to align out whilst trying to figure out what's going on. There's something destroyer shaped, red and flashing, closing in on my main view, but overview just shows miners and MTU... I'm sure some of you have guessed at my critical failure by now!

I ctrl-click on the main view and target my aggressor - it's a Confessor. I know jack-shit about this ship. I don't know if I can outrun it, what its resists are or what it's got up its sleeve. I overheat a/b to pull range... but he's still closing. I turn to fight, hoping that the RF Phased Plasma I've already got loaded has some impact. His shields disappear quickly, but then I hit some tough armour that's not going anywhere quick.

To make matters worse, two Catalysts drop out of warp and make a bee-line for me. I know my Jag can take the Cats, so I dive straight at them - my shield buffer's nearly gone and it looks like I'm going to lose this, but I'm taking these two chancers with me.

They're not tanked and go down pretty quickly, but I'm in hull by the time I turn back to the Confessor. Seconds later I'm warping my pod out and posting up the gf's in Local.
https://zkillboard.com/kill/43301425/

Throughout the whole fight, I kept that snowball launcher going, pelting my adversaries defiantly!  :lol:

The moral of the story is always update your overview settings with newly released ship classes!

But other than that, can anyone offer any advice on how these things can be set-up and/or countered?

Thanks!

You can lolfit a 10mn AB on there and get 1mn MWD speed and agility with it on when the destroyer is in Speed mode. Or you can go more traditional with the appropriately-sized prop mod.

DK/Lithium uses one fit like that with pulses and an SAAR. Kala had one on Sisi that used beams.

So far, about 90% of the confessors that have died have been armour/kite fit. Your best bet is to orbit close, apply as much dps as possible and get webs on him. You won't be able to run away, o you have to hope they're using the largest possible guns and a cap booster instead of a web so that you can outtrack them. If you run into a brick tanked one in a frigate, you're basically fucked  :D

Thanks guys. I went read some stuffs and the conclusion of those, your advice and my experience is, as Kala succinctly puts it...
