Very interesting changes.
Only thing that immediately stood out to me though; if you're going to completely change what the squad, wing and fleet skills do, why not rename them entirely to reflect their new purpose? I mean, Fleet Command in the new situation will have very little to do with being in charge of a fleet anymore (and will have no affect on hierarchy). So just change the name to something more fitting.
And did I just read right that the Rorqual is getting multiple new tools to play with? Interesting. Can't wait to see more :D

Here is why I currently have 2 Rorq's If your currently planned changes go ahead As soon as the November expansion hits I will Reprocess them Plus My Orca as I would rather mine with NO Boosts at all than to put a rorq on grid NO MATTER what you do to it. I would Rather put the capital parts from the 2x Rorq and 1x Orca towards some more dreads to sell than to keep and use them. Rorq's currently cost what 2bill why in hell would someone want to try and boost with it on grid while trying to micro manage everything else.
Your tears are delicious
And ooh just look at all the entitled pubbies coming out of the woodworks demanding SP refunds. "Boohoo my completely uncounterable boosting gameplay is being removed."
I love everything I read in this blog. From Rorquals in belts to boosts that require ammo made from ice. Love it.

While under the effect of the Rorqual super weapon, will you be able to move at all or will you be stationary?

Just putting that out there.
me? I throw $30 a month at this, I can take it back.
$30 isn't much, but im just one guy and an alt, how many alts do you think would just cease to exist over this change?
Well don't let the door hit your sorry *ss on the way out. Making such a childish threat because a stupid game mechanic is finally being changed to what it should always have been is just sad. God forbid boosting actually has risk attached to it.
Adapt or die. EVE will survive without you and it will survive without the others just like you. But we all know you won't actually leave so how about you just shut up or post some actual feedback?

I gave feedback, my feedback is that I and many others DO NOT LIKE this change, it's more than just whiny bitching
No, that's exactly what it is until you give a solid reason or two for WHY you don't like it and maybe even propose a change or two. Or is anything involving any kind of effort too much to ask? That would certainly be one reason why you're so angry about this.

So call it 1 out of 4!
Promoting ice consumption I guess. And being able to switch to different types of boosts.

Fit a Higgs rig to the Rorqual, drop it in a belt, and align out at 75% speed. You'll be outpaced by a snail, so you'll be able to stay in range of your mining fleet, and because you're aligned and most certainly not AFK, you can warp out just as soon as a hostile shows up in your system or intel channels.
I don't get all this "the Rorqual is dead" and "nullsec mining is dead" nonsense.
It's Risk vs. Reward: If you want the best reward, you need to put up the most risks, and just like pretty much everything else in EVE, the risk goes up significantly faster than the reward (which goes along with the absolute best mining buffs require you to lock yourself down for five minutes).
The only reason nullsec mining would die is if the putzes refuse to change their methods and refuse to look beyond their noses.
No. A perfect Orca booster out performs a perfect non-sieged Rorqual. Thus no point to run the Rorq unless you have a immobilized it and put it at significant risk for 5 mins. If you don't understand the outcry, I guess the hold/cancellation on the last POS boosting changes escaped your attention. I agree with additional risk vs. reward. They were talking about giving the Rorqual capital mining drones and that would be an incentive to get Rorqs into the belts. But that's and additional feature, not a replacement. They need to give the Rorq additional incentives to get them to come out. Not turn them into PVP/Defense death pinatas.
It's too early to start speculating about how the Rorq is going to be balanced in November. Personally I see the issue with running the core in a belt and locking yourself in for at least 5 minutes. In that respect the most fair trade off, IMO, would be to remove the sieging aspect of using the industrial core and increase the fuel cost per cycle. Keep it mobile at all times but make each 5 minute cycle cost 500k to 1m in fuel.
Either way, I guess we'll see what CCP has planned. I dare assume they'll present their plans for feedback well in advance and that they have actually thought the belt part through. Time will tell.
