If you guys nerf the Carriers on such way, incursions should be nerfed aswell. You take away PVE Content in 0 sec with this because Carriers almost cant be used efficent anymore for any site. And for fleet fights why should any big Alliance now use supers? You can blop their Drones like a Piata now. |

CCP really want us all to pay in $/euros/pounds for their game :) It looks like they are trying to do EVERYTHING to lower your ISK income per month or force u to lose more ISK per month (well it's still making you less ISK per month =) )

CCP. Has any thought been given as to how this affects Citadels & other structures. Especially in high sec the fighters are the main source of applicable damage to most targets, and these changes to fighters will make the already weak citadel fighters (since they get no benefit from any of the skills that normally help) even weaker. Are Citadels in high sec also viewed as too strong a defence currently? |

Terrible changes. You have Carriers out in space doing things that require active input and attention, so you decide to nerf that activity. This month it's like you had a focus group with the agenda "How can we make the smallest number of people happy while pissing off the most possible people?" I guess you will be announcing gold ammo from the Aurum store next. The mobile warp disruptor changes were good, everything else needs to go back to the drawing board.
CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

I'm not a Carrier Ratter, I can do it but I don't like it, I prefer to use sub caps in null. My Mach can do anomalies and then do DED escalations without having to refit (and a carrier can't fit through a DED's gate lol). So this nerf to Carrier ratting is good for me personally.
But I disagree with it as long as there is no change to AFK Drone ratting first (ie ratting with anything that can field heavy drones, from the VNI and Ishtar to the Eos and Myrm and others). At least the Carrier jocks are at their computers making isk, the afk ratter many times isn't, and it's easy because of how things work. I know, I run a couple VNI toons doing lesser anoms while also ratting wth my Mach in better anomalies, I only have to tab over to the VNIs twice an hour to keep the gravy train running.
Not like I want you all (CCP) to nerf me, I'm not a sadist lol. But honesty demands I say this. You shouldn't be nerfing active PVE isk making while leaving AFK ratting intact, this is completely backwards to what you should be doing. |

CCP Larrikin wrote:Hi m8s, In March, we're releasing a number of balance tweaks and we would love your feedback. FIGHTERSWe'd like to increase the potential counter-play options vs fighters. We're going to do this by increasing their signature radius which makes them a little easier to hit. They are currently around the small-medium drone range. This will put them in the same size category as heavy drones. Additionally, we're giving Shadow fighters a balance pass. Changes: - Light Fighters (Space Superiority) - Signature Radius: 80 (+43)
- Light Fighters (Attack) - Signature Radius: 100 (+59)
- Support Fighters - Signature Radius: 120 (+80)
- Heavy Fighters (Attack) - Signature Radius: 110 (+60)
- Heavy Fighters (Long Range) - Signature Radius: 120 (+60)
- Shadows - Signature Radius: 100 (+55)
- Shadows - EM Damage: 200 (+40)
- Shadows - Thermal Damage: 200 (+40)
These changes bring Fighters closer in-line with the signature of Heavy Drones. Lastly, there was a bug when our AI evaluated the threat of fighters. NPCs didn't consider fighters as threatening as they should have. This bug has now been fixed, and NPCs will more often shoot at fighters. You may also want to check out this thread about brand new fighter hotkeys (thanks Five-0!)SUPERCARRIERSAfter our discussions with the CSM, they brought up the state of the Wyvern fighter hangar bay (and shield supers in general). While we'll re-asses the state of shield supers after the release of Shield Slaves, we think their points about fighter hangar bays had some merit. Changes: - Wyvern Fighter Hangar Bay): 90,000 (+10,000) m3
- Hel Fighter Hangar Bay: 110,000 (+10,000) m3
BURST PROJECTORSWe're going to increase the effect duration of burst projectors. The difficulty in using them doesn't really justify their existing small effect time. Changes: - ECM Jammer Burst Projector Effect Duration: 40 (+10) seconds
- Sensor Dampening Burst Projector Effect Duration: 60 (+30) seconds
- Weapon Disruption Burst Projector Effect Duration: 60 (+30) seconds
- Target Illumination Burst Projector Effect Duration: 60 (+30) seconds
- Warp Disruption Burst Projector Effect Duration: 40 (+20) seconds
- Stasis Webification Burst Projector Effect Duration: 40 (+20) seconds
The problem with counter-play to fighters is not their sig size though. Even if you have ECM on field, its still possible to fail jam, and loose a great deal of ships.
If you do not have ecm, your battling against a monumental ALPHA, fighters simply have too much weapon accuracy in order to be balanced. Frigates are not normally blapped by heavy misisles cruisers when travelling at 3km/s why should fighters be any different.
You stated once in one of your original Dev documentaries that "in EVE size doesnt mean everything" but in fighter cases, that seems to be a little out of perspective.
I would highly reccomend re-visiting the accuracy of the weapons you have made specifically for fighters (which use both partially-use missiles and turret mechanics) in order to reduce their damage to smaller targets, and make evasive fleets viable again.
Shield are red, Armor is too, i slapped my heavy neut, all over you.

This makes me laugh ^^
I've done some carrier ratting and the following statement is true:
If you are carrier pveing and your fighters target dies, you have less then 5 seconds. if you dont attk the next target in these 5 seconds the first fighter is gone.
Also webbing npcs make your fighters die fairly quickly already.
Does that REALLY need a nerf? just lol ^^
Fighter squads are really expensive. Most ppl i know dont even use t2 fighters for pve because they are really risky to use.
Just lol....
If you want battleships to hit fighters, at least seriously buff their hp pls...

Not sure what game you're playing or stats you are watching Larrikan, cause I make fighters in hi sec and they sell pretty quickly, people lose them so much. Except for support fighters. It's sirens or forget it.
Instead of making something already in a bad place worse, how about you address the problem of DSTs full of booster 3200 parked next to cap injector faxes in WH space? Something that requires a stupid number of Bhaalghorns to neut out.
If they are selling that well it means they are getting used that well...
But yeah they are a joke and it has nothing to do with killing them in pvp they are stupid easy to jam and yeah I wish I knew why they made support fighters so ****

They're also piloted by people, rather than being computer controlled. Being harder to hit makes more sense in that aspect. Which is why I personally have always questioned how they sit still and do NOTHING without a command, since they are supposed to be piloted by a sentient being. Are people dumber than computers in Eve?
While I don't think they need an auto aggress feature like drones have (I honestly LIKE the active management required while ratting in a carrier, vs afk VNI ratting) why don't they orbit a nearby celestial? Or auto return? Or orbit themselves in a small pattern? These are people, why in the world would they sit absolutely still for that long, seeing how much fire they are under? |

Don't start thinking of lore or realism when it comes to balance you'll hurt yourself.

Some sort of orbiting themselves would be great to have. Watching fighters immediately stop and sit stationary after every kill is frustrating enough in PvE, let alone PvP... |

They're so squishy, at least give them an ehp buff, a single web when they're out of scoop range of your carrier means if they manage to return, you'll have lost half. A single npc frigate can easily chew through them.
Also, burst projectors. Please, reduce cycle time. Already at max skills it's 6 minutes of cycle, the entire time with a weapons timer, then another minute for timer to cycle away. During that time can't refit, de-agress, ect. Also the 10s warmup beacon telling people where it'll land and tiny sphere of influence make them pretty useless. Please, make a few more changes.
True that, if you gona boost signature the EHP should be boosted like 10x fold to make it remotly ok in the curren enviroment and lack of rr on carriers/super to rep the drones. They are paper thin right now and melted in a instant. now you have 100 mil!!!!! Squadron of drones that single t1 cruiser will kill in no time just WeW LaD.

+1 I do not see a reason for drones/Fighter getting agro from NPC's. way won't they just tracking distrupt them / jam etc. like they do your ship. You can't kill off Guns on a ship so way would they pop your 100 mil drone squadron.
Carriers were able to kill tackle Pre Fighter change EZ, now carrier is not able to kill a single interceptor. It is very easy to kill fighters in any fleet vs fleet fight. Insted of Nerfing them you should boost the EHP by a LOT! and fix the buggy UI. ADD CONTROL GROUP to make micromanagment less of a nightmare .....
Insted of all that you are making the whole ship class obselite, for whom and way? for couple risk averse dudes that can't bring single web/TP to a kill a carrier thay are ganging? ..... IDK what is happening here .... |

I only just started with carriers - but looking at these changes, that was a waste of training and ISK, may as well continue using my Ishtar instead and mothball it.
Looking at this change, as well as the Rorqual changes - is it your intention to make Capital ships just a bigger loon pinata? Seriously, how does a single T1 ECM hull or something as tiny as an interceptor completely negate a multi thousand metre ship? I can understand a gang of ships being able to wear a carrier down, but now there will be zero defence even against a small group? Why are drones smarter than fighters, at least you can trust them (most of the time) to get on with their own stuff if you are prioritising targets. |

I feel exactly that same - I planed to do some Carrier stuff with Fighters, but I heard they are easy to be killed; So I waited for any buff for it than throwing by window about few mil for a single fighter (when u need at last 27 of them);
Now I see that my carrier is nothing else just an logistic ship (for moving out stuff etc); |

CCP HARD AT WORK FINALLY!
All your recent changes really seem geared toward content and they all look great.
Increasing the sig size of the fighters makes hitting them with medium weapon systems a lot easier, and since we have an incoming RLML nerf this seems wise.
Also adds some risk to null ratting, which is great.
Everything is great. Looking forward to some balancing on the regular combat ships whenever that happens. Mixed with weapon system tiericide, weve got an exciting few months ahead of us.

Fighters were already getting aggro. I often have fighters getting chewed up by Rats and that is with 100% attention. This change would push people away from carrier ratting which in turn would reduce content.
The Thanatos and Nyx were already considered the best Carrier/Super and this also widens that gap. |

Why? now that rorq's are being used again the EVE mineral economy is in a fairly good place, why cut production costs when they are being supported by the new influx of materials. If they became cheaper you'd have the potential of never running out of fighters (in a respective region), which would render all other drones boats to dis-favour when carriers and good fighter supplies are available.
Ironically examples of this area are allready visible with such a high level of usage of these carriers, so many people camp their bubbled null gates with said ships now, because they are difficult to fight and can afford to loose the fighters and/or the hull.

The Rorqual is once again getting nerfed because the mineral market rn is apparently not in a good shape. Cheaper stuff so ships explode more often is apparently bad for the game... Maybe it would be smarter to have another look at Ore compositions instead of nerf so this stuff can get brought in line.
Also regarding carrier: Why does everything in EvE have to be centred about nano roaming gangs? Now we can-Št HIC scram them anymore, the little chance you had before to rip them apart with a carrier is also gone now that fighters are easier to hit then a 40t truck with a snowball.
Just waiting on a nerfbat for recons... |

But thats not entirely accurate, Carriers are still capable of applying damage to smaller ships and destroy them. Regarding the type of gang discussed, nano gangs are generally preferred because they can avoid 'most' larger blobs. Armour assets tend to get locked down and destroyed fairly quickly. Sadly both types of fleet fall prey to fighters because of: A: their insane velocity and ability to catch interceptors B: their huge alpha damage delivery which is pin-point accurate C: even small fast ships that can hold point on carriers simply dont have the range/dps to hold point before fighters are manually piloted into their paths to destroy them
Also the last time i checked, HICs can still use forcused warp scrambles up to 38KM. There are not many fleet comps that will actively try to fight that with a carrier on field anyway.
