CCP Rise wrote:This "Ishtar has bonuses to battleship weapons" line that keeps coming up is interesting. We talked about it some earlier here. There's parts of it that we can agree about but it's also something that makes drones interesting across all drone using/bonused ships. You could use the same argument to say that Dominix's shouldn't get bonuses to light drones or that Vexors shouldn't be able to use lights or heavies or sentries.
We feel that in general it's an interesting and positive part of drone design that they aren't fixed to ship sizes nearly as strictly as other weapon types. We just need to find ways to have balanced ships as well. I think the best course of action is to address the rediculous bandwidth cruisers have. Logical progresssion of drone boat bandwidth maximums: Frigate: 25mb Destroyer: 40mb Cruiser: 50mb Battlecruiser: 100mb Battleship: 125mb Current, and fundementally flawed progresssion of drone boat bandwidth maximums: Frigate: 25mb Destroyer: 35mb Cruiser: 125mbBattlecruiser: 100mb Battleship: 125mb But that still doesn't address the ridiculous amount of range the ishtar is able to achieve. Cruisers should NOT be able to shoot that far. I personally don't have issue with a cruiser being able to hit that far when it's DPS is <200. Until a medium sized organisation bring 100 of them and you now deal with 20k dps... And your team of 100 who isn't gimping themselves with 2 sentries per Ishtar is doing nearly double that.

Please leave the garde optimal range alone, or less of a nerd. It not used in the current fleet meta (usually) and nerfing it to have almost no optimal range greatly decreases the ability to use them affectively. The boucer and curator I would agree need a. Nerd as the apply to much damage, tracking and extreme ranges allowing people to kit and fight without ever putting their ship at risk, but a nerf to optimal of gardes seems a bit excessive. Please reconsider |

Optimal nerf on Gardes is a little harsh. Maybe like 15%? No one uses them on towers or in kiting Ishtar combat anyway. The Curator and Bouncer nerf is needed. Will this finally discourage people from using the Ishtar?
In another 6 sentry drone and Ishtar nerfs, they will remove sentries from Ishtars and we will be there. |

Taking optimal from gallente sentrys?
Can your bad nerfs not break lore?
Blasters and railguns work off optimal which is already not that huge compared to other sentrys range so how about just remove falloff from gardes instead. |

Zealot = optimal bonus muninn = optimal bonus eagle = optimal bonus (x2) Ishtar = optimal bonus
All these ships are meant for longer range engagements. If you take away sentries completely.. how does the ishtar project damage? Heavies? Lol.
Travel time + missing = no one will use it and it will turn into another brawler, or some kind of weird shortrange doctrine which goes completely against the role of these HACs.
Yes the ishtar is dominating and semi-OP in large scale fights. But removing its only way at projecting the damage will turn it into the drake. Overnerfed and lost its role.
Something to consider. Nerf sentry drones down to medium turret ranges and damage to balance around the other HACs and keepit in the same class. Create a new sentry for BS. Seige Sentry drone or w/e. Give it 400+ sig resolution, more range and slightly more damage. This keeps BS doctrines relatively unchanged but keeps with BS tracking/application.
The only issue i see is with carriers.. Though having 400+ sig resolution will mean smaller ships should be able to sig/speed tank them better than current sentry mechanics. For starters, what is the range of those other weapon systems vs their dmg outpout? Also you forgot the missle boat.. you know things that have time to target issues. Seems to me if the cerb can cope with this issue just fine then hvys or meds should also be fine for the ishtar. Further nerfs of senty drones affects other platforms besides the ishtar, and those other platforms were already balanced before hand. The problem is the ishtar, not sentries. Muninn at best is 420-450dps IIRC (not at my computer) and shoots around 27km+33km with shortrange ammo. With long range ammo its 50km+33km @ 280-300dps. Course thats with 2 TE. I dont remember the naked stats. That is locked in with explo or kinetic dmg for long range. If you use the proton ammo rounds you get even less dps to use thermal/em damage at range. Eagle is around 400-450dps last i checked with shortrange ammo and rails, and goes down from there. I havent tinkered with zealots much so im not familiar with em. I came into EVE during the shadoo era.. missed out on those doctrines. But from previous discussions on the topic its pretty similar to the other non ishtar HACs. The cerb doesnt fall into the same category. Its more related to the vaga/deimos/sac. Its the more mobile vessel (compared to the eagle) its just caldari lore favors missile range. The cerb also has no tracking compared to drones (i guess you missed the flight time + missing comment). So saying missiles hit fine with flight time is not the same as drones hitting consistently with flight time. The cerb is also locked into kinetic only damage, not good for fleets, which is why there are not cerb doctrines. The ishtar can switch damage types no problem by dropping a different set of sentries. These changes seem aimed at making the ishtars "ammo" have a bigger disparity between them, just like other ammo. Sacrifice/balance etc.
Munin/Eagle's biggest downfall is the loki and tengu just do it better, and there are fitting issues on them iirc. Zealot faces fitting issues too but is still sort of worth using if you can't use legions/prots. If you buffed these 3 ships fittings and fixed t3s being HACs but better, you'd see a lot more of them running around.
The way the ishtar gets used is actually closer to the cerb than anything. Problem with cerb fleets is firewall and heavy missiles kinda suck, so you're using RLML and dat reload time doe
Excuse me, but what the f*ck are you desu?

Because having your weapon max range cap go from 60km to 85 KM is not a bonus? Ishtar targettign range is 100km so there is no need for a module to boost it untill you go with DLAs. Bouncers, curators and wardens all still do damage past the 60km mark that would be the limit if the Ishtar didn't have a range bonus. |

The control range bonus is to bring the weapon system in line with with the ships targeting range. SO while it is a bonus it is only in order to equalize the weapon system.
The only way I can see CCP getting around this would be to remove control range and use a ships targeting range instead. In which case no bonus would be needed. |

the problem is not with sentry's and the ships that are using it like a ishtar (heavy assualt cruiser). But with the doctrines that encounter a ishtar. you can easyly kill sentrys by using a smart bombs battleship or bombs of a sb. Guys and girls pls this game is all about tactics or take a mobile depot in your ship with different resistance and other items so you can adjust to a fleet you encounter.
you can also attack a ishtar fleet with close range high alpha fleets (Navytempests)with webbers and scram fitted ships. Its just in how you play your hand on the pvp field and take some times some risks.
Provi block are also using those ishtars for example against ncdot but sometime we lose those battles against t3 cruisers with carrier logi. we dont cry about that but we change ships and kill their logi and t3 cruisers with a big naga/tornado fleet see youtube battle vki of last week. NCdot even are dropping carrier/supers fleet to save their fleets. every thing in eve with battles is about tactics and field and adjust your fleet to the actual situation.
The best way to balance a doctrine ships is to alter the ehp of a ship without effecting the weaponsystems or alter the ship bonuses. this is more easier then rebalancing sentry's. because you can have optimal range module in the midslot of a ship to boost the optimal range of a sentry as like tracking of a sentry/drone. |

And only those that use sentry drones are in more or less adequate shape. Armageddon is more a support ship, yet it sports a solid punch - compare it to Scorpion. Rattlesnake is a really tough thing, shredding everything in close through middle to long range, and only ultra-long setups can beat it... cannot say the same for Nightmare. Nestor is good, but too damn expensive - twice as much as Machariel. And drone Proteus? Are you kidding?

I think that the nerfs to the weapon system that is the sentry is a bad idea. I believe the hull is the problem. I think that this change is bad because it impacts other hulls instead of the primary problem is the ishtar. |

2 out of 3 missile type on the cerberus won't shoot to it's maximum lock range. One of them can't shoot to the unbonused drone range. Oh and please don't forget to mention the cerb need 2 range bonus on those weapon to achieve those range numbers. I think the sentries needed 2 bonus to range (max velocity and flight time) just like sentries do (drone control range and optimal). |

Why nerf the garde really. 50% percent of the optimal range of bouncers and even less for the other ones. To boot your also nerfing tracking and dps even though the stated problem is bouncers, curators, a and bonused hulls (Dominix and ishtar). You already nerf end them once, please do not make that drone useless |

Right, you're proving my point for me. The base lock range of the ship exceeds the usable range of all but T1 missiles. Thus you can shoot any missile at any target you can lock, they won't all hit because they have limited range to apply damage. Drones will not shoot at any target you can lock. They will only engage a target you lock AND is in their control range. It is a unique feature to the weapon system that no other system has. If control range didn't matter, then in passive mode, lock range and the drones optimal/falloff would be equivalent to the other weapon systems.
I'll stop after this one because it is clear we won't agree.
You fit a Cerberus with HML it will shoot ALL T1 missiles to 141km, Faction to about 72Km, and T2 Fury to 106KM. Imagine you had another limiting factor on your launchers that wouldn't let you shoot them unless you also had a missile control range, and it started at 60km. Thus what you see as an extra bonus is only bringing the use of drones up to the same engagement window of other HACs. |

Sad about this proposed nerf. If there was a problem with a specific hull being overpowered, adjust its bonuses rather than a blanket nerf on sentries altogether imho.

There are two way I see to solve this:
1) Nerf sentries a bit and buff the BS+ hull bonuses to compensate 2) Create a Medium Sentry class and change cruiser bonuses to this size sentry. |

Hey folks, thanks for the feedback so far.
For those of you who are worried that we won't touch any specific ships because we're making these changes, I'll point you again to the second paragraph of the OP. We are not ruling out any changes to specific ships as we go forward. We made changes specifically to the Ishtar in Scylla, and we plan on continuing to make changes bit by bit to continually improve the game's balance.
We're making an adjustment already to the original proposal, adding some more falloff to the Gardes.
New Garde range changes are: -25% optimal, +66.7% falloff.
The shift from a moderate reliance on optimal to a moderate reliance on falloff is still part of the plan as it will help close the gap between range bonuses ships and range unbonused ships, but with this version the crossover point between ranges where the Gardes do less damage than before and the point where they do more damage than before will be earlier.
Thanks as always, and have a great evening!

Thanks as always, and have a great evening!
You realize gardes are already almost useless right now because of how bad you nerfed their range and this is just going to make it worse, right ?
Excuse me, but what the f*ck are you desu?

For those of you who are worried that we won't touch any specific ships because we're making these changes, I'll point you again to the second paragraph of the OP. We are not ruling out any changes to specific ships as we go forward. We made changes specifically to the Ishtar in Scylla, and we plan on continuing to make changes bit by bit to continually improve the game's balance.
What other ship beside the Ishtar and the Dominixe are problematic with sentries to make the entire weapon system deserving of a nerf and not only those 2 hulls? |
