The video tested the effectiveness of size 9 Torpedoes with an Eclipse after a major missile rebalance in patch 3.23.18, examining three types of Torpedoes and their impact on various targets. It highlighted the importance of understanding target vulnerabilities, adjusting the number of Torpedoes fired, and utilizing the Eclipse’s capabilities effectively to take down larger enemy ships in combat.
In the video, the effectiveness of size 9 Torpedoes with an Eclipse after the major missile rebalance in patch 3.23.18 was tested. Three types of size 9 Torpedoes were examined: Argus 9, Seeker 9, and Typhoon 9. Changes included adjustments to minimum and maximum lock ranges, torpedo speeds, and fuel tank capacities for each type of Torpedo. Despite these changes, there was no DPS alteration from previous patches, and hit points and lock times remained consistent.
During combat testing in various missions, the Eclipse successfully engaged different targets such as an A90 Jump, Aegis Reclaimer, Drake Caterpillar, Hammerhead, and 400i using the size 9 Torpedoes. The effectiveness of the Torpedoes varied based on the target’s size and defensive capabilities. For example, a single torpedo was sufficient to destroy a less defended target like the Aegis Reclaimer, while multiple torpedoes were needed to take down heavily armed ships like the Drake Caterpillar and Hammerhead.
The video highlighted the importance of understanding the target’s vulnerabilities and adjusting the number of Torpedoes fired accordingly. For larger ships with multiple turrets, launching multiple Torpedoes simultaneously proved more effective in overwhelming the defenses and ensuring successful hits. In contrast, smaller ships with fewer defenses could be taken out with a single well-placed torpedo.
The Eclipse’s capabilities in combat were also showcased, demonstrating its agility and firepower. The ship’s large capacitor allowed for sustained weapon fire, making it a formidable opponent in dogfights. The video concluded with insights on utilizing size 9 Torpedoes effectively on the Eclipse, emphasizing the importance of target selection and adapting the number of Torpedoes fired based on the enemy’s defenses. Overall, the test results showed that with strategic planning and proper use of Torpedoes, the Eclipse could be a potent asset in taking down larger enemy ships.
