I always train for the FOTM (or years in this case). When setting up my training plan I never stop to ask myself of it's OP. I don't check the forums to see if there are multiple threads calling for a nerf or if the devs have hinted at a nerf for almost a year. Lastly, I certainly don't look at how long a trend has been going on and ask if I'm jumping on at the end of the bandwagon or the beginning. I just train for FOTM all the time. |

Page 85. Wow. Well hopefully CCP Fozzie is still reading this.
I'm concerned about Tracking Disruptors. Faction Warfare is frigate heavy. We've seen the use of alot of the new frigates there. And many if not most are using tracking disruptors. A condor with light missiles, long point, and two TD is common. An arty slasher set up the same way is too. Even Atrons and Executioners will fit a TD rather then a web.
Now I've held my peace as I can build destroyers that lock farther and shoot farther then these small, frail frigates. I also know in the background that missile boats were very capable against them as they were immune to TD. But if that's not the case I can guarantee you that everyone and their mom will be fitting a TD. Some ideas:
- Increase the fittings on the TD. Increase the fitting grid on specialized boats.
- Take the TD for missiles one step further and seperate them for use via race/weapon type. I.E. - create a TD for hybrids, projectiles, lasers, missiles, and a weak general purpose one.
- Nerf the TD and boost the specialized boats.

If you're going to have TE and TC affect missiles ala turrets then why not go Full Monty and have short range ammo and long range ammo like the turrets as well? |

It should be obvious to a certain extent how BC will be modified. The tier one with the exception of the Cyclone only have 16 slots. The Cyclone has 17 but it's highs are in a weird 5/3 configuration. The devs have hinted that the tier ones will get an extra slot and some serious focus makeovers. The Tier 2 BC all have 18 slots. Snip snip. The tier 3 BC all have 17 slots. They may get slowed down a bit but are otherwise fine. |

Those much maligned tracking enhancers allow blaster boats to extend their range out to scramble or point range. The new Thorax, for example, can hit 18km with optimal + falloff while using Nuetrons, Null, and one tracking enhancer. A TE nerf would hurt blaster boats more then projectile boats - all while trying to deal with a Winmatar problem that is fading naturally anyways. |
