Eve Echoes- Multifrequency Crystal and Kinetic Burst Implants- First look impressions

[@Phyrexianmartyr]

Appreciate the breakdown on the implants. Was hoping I missed something when I read the descriptions as they did not blow me away. Watching your video I see I did not miss anything....😢

[@Gromire]

@@Phyrexianmartyr yea they seemed pretty mid to me. I’m hearing people say they are enjoying them though so maybe they work better than the description states. It’s hard to know unless you spend the money though, I wish they would just rotate these into the DR as rewards- at least the green and blue versions.

Just dreaming here, but a rapid fire missile implant would be cool af. Like 5 volleys of missiles all at once, then the ship goes into cool down for a few seconds, can’t shoot, warp or cloak. Imagine the fun with bomber frigates

[@Gromire]

@@SnakeyOneEyed yea I would have liked to see a new missile implant before another railgun or laser implant, as those already have some really solid options.

[@bellcross9985]

I think that the Kinetic burst is made specifically for Serpentis ships lol. Get ship within web range and go crazy on it. It will tear through Frigates.

[@Gromire]

@@bellcross9985 the same could be said for high power coil, I think anytime you can web down a frigate it’s gonna be a bad day for them 😅 but I can see where having the increased optimal range would help a lot since those ships already get the longer range web bonuses

I'm playing with the MFC implant and so far I've found it to be pretty cool. I do get less dps when I turn on the level 30 EM option. On some ships I'm finding I do more thermal damage now that I do EM with that set. What's insane though is with a level 10 Tracking computer GU And thermal set cold I can get 110 km optimal range at a level 38 implant with about a 10km falloff using Pulse Lasers on an ANI. What's fun about that is I can pve rat at 100km but still web and blap inty rats that get into the 4-10km range. I am curious how that will work in pvp. To try it's limits I fit an excutioner 2 and the good Punisher with small pulse and and t3 damage rigs no range extending rigs. I can get 11.75 optimal 2.63 falloff on the executioner, and 12.25 optimal, and 2.75 falloff on the punisher. The punisher pure dps fit docked getting 1193 dps with a speed of about 5112 kms using only t3 rigs and ctype. When comparing my cold dps of the MFC implant level 38 to a focus Crystal full charged the dps is just slightly lower on the MFC. That is with the fast charge setting not max damage on the Focus Crystal. So yes the FC implant will out dps the MFC, but the MFC doesn't have to charge. And the tracking penalty doesn't really seem to hurt that much neither the accuracy falloff. But I'm curious what others think. I'm not sure if I can say if MFC is better than focus crystal but the options are interesting. If I wanted to risk integrating rigging on a frigate I do think you can easilly and effectively use small pulse on frigates and stay outside of web range and still get dps close to that of a cruiser in the case of a punisher.

@@almajensen405 great breakdown, thanks for the info! I can definitely see this implant having its uses for PvP, it’s just hard to really test it out when I can’t get one and lvl it up.

[@nafet008]

Just for info purple implants go to lvl40 😉

[@Gromire]

Ah ok good to know, I thought they stopped at 35

[@timotheegoulet1511]

A third implant for rails? Are you serious? It slows down tracking but increases fatal blow. I still need the Thermo-circulation implant now this. Purple implants go up to higher than 30. My HPC is lvl35 and I’m training into lvl36 currently. Great Gluten Free Content dude!!!

[@Gromire]

@@timotheegoulet1511 the tracking speed decrease is a killer unless you plan on being long range and hitting targets on a straight trajectory. Oh and yes, the purple can go higher than 30 I just mean in order to get the level 30 ability it has to be at least a purple implant.

The Rokh doesn't use lasers, chief.

[@Gromire]

I must have been thinking about the kinetic implant, that’s railguns

[@TheNightshotBR]

​@@Gromire lol it happens. So, have you gotten any experience with the multifreq crystal one? Thoughts?

[@Gromire]

@ no sorry it’s not within my budget, but I have heard good things about using it with the Enforcer

[@GibbsTheBully1]

More implants....

[@Gromire]

Yea I’m surprised they released more weapon implants before a 2nd passive implant

[@aprilranger8671]

Why this background music? It's really annoying.

[@Gromire]

@@aprilranger8671 oh? Sorry about that, I thought the volume was down pretty low on it.

[@aprilranger8671]

@@Gromire I generally don't like background music, even if it's not that loud. It just distracts from what's important. If I want to listen to music, I turn on Spotify.

[@Gromire]

@@aprilranger8671 alright, I appreciate the feedback. I usually use it to cover up the dead space between talking points or hide some of my poor sound quality since I’m not using an actual mic. I’ll take another look at it and see if there’s a better way to present the videos

[@aprilranger8671]

@@Gromire That's just an old man's opinion. Don't worry too much about it. Your videos are great. 😄
