Confirming that the only way to end a mutual war is by either side surrendering. This is intentional, it's part of making declaring a war more of a commitment and potential risk. |

The lock breaker did not break any locks for me with 3 people targeting me and shooting. While I see the need to make it random to fit it for any small gang pvp I need atleast a reasonable chance that it will break the locks if I manage to tank some one for 10 min plus. |

Yeah it does actually, I see it now. Only it seems to update incredibly slow and erratically. I've tried it several times and it always took a lot of minutes before it was updated.
There are quite a lot of other things not working very well though. I've just put in six bug reports on the wardec system alone. Though not for the slow updating of icon as just mentioned.

Good to see that was fully intentional. CCP definitely has the right intentions for wardecs.
I still think the new way to calculate warbills is a bloody mess though. When the only way to find out how much it costs to wardec a corp, is by actually wardeccing them, IT IS NOT OK

Could you share some of your data, so we can see what sort of price ranges are being planned? |

If that was directed to me, I checked out a few alliances on SiSi
The results are in my earlier post in this thread : https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1272735#post1272735
It seems that the minimum price is always 50M isk though, and that is for a corporation, not an alliance. And the function to calculate the war-bill seems to stabilize around 1B or so (I guess CCP took notice of the protest against the possibility of multibillion ISK decshields)

@CCP SoniClover EDA's currently only give Gallente BC/BS a Max dps fitting variation while interfering with Gallente ship concept.
What i would like to see at least considered,
Make them active cap intensive High-slot Modules that require either a turret or Missile hard point to fit, and bless them with a rely nice futuristic radar dish that starts spinning and emitting some nice wave effects when active.
What also can be considered. If the damage bonus amount and some ship setups seem OP you can consider stack them in three sizes that only boost up to a certain drone Bandwidth(not drone size), therefor consuming more Capacitor. And possibly balancing these Modules with PG usage. As drones have no fitting requirement i find it dangerousness to just throw a damage mod in there. And with three sizes you can scale your radar dish module to look awesome on all ship sizes.
Why? It seems more balanced and gives a much greater fitting variation to much more ships and hinders some crazy high dps setups. And although it seems more work and balancing to be done i can assure you it is A: worth it, and B: much much easier to balance
Edit: And their name is a bit confusing. |

I like the radar dish idea, and many drone ships happen to have utility highs - this sounds like a reasonable thing to do. |

Crazy high-dps setups? I like to see those. If the EDA gets a 22% damage Boost, you could switch the magstabs to EDAs, getting more Drone DPS, but losing Turret DPS.
But since turrets can't be attacked, or travel around, the actual dps you can field over time in a mission or in PvP, is still lower, than turrets would get you. Also you forgot, that there are implants boosting turrets. 5% all turret dmg and 5% specialized dmg.
Why on earth would you put the EDA in a highslot? It was stated that the EDA stays in lows, to be in line with other dmg mods, which is fine.
Actual possible fit, without EDA on a Domi with dmg imps.:
[Dominix, random] Federation Navy Magnetic Field Stabilizer Federation Navy Magnetic Field Stabilizer Federation Navy Magnetic Field Stabilizer [empty low slot] [empty low slot] [empty low slot] [empty low slot]
Federation Navy Omnidirectional Tracking Link [empty med slot] [empty med slot] [empty med slot] [empty med slot]
Neutron Blaster Cannon II, Void L Neutron Blaster Cannon II, Void L Neutron Blaster Cannon II, Void L Neutron Blaster Cannon II, Void L Neutron Blaster Cannon II, Void L Neutron Blaster Cannon II, Void L
Large Sentry Damage Augmentor I [empty rig slot] [empty rig slot]
Garde II x5
1611 dps 4837 volley
I know, that it is not very practical, but thats what you actually could get now. A nice mission setup will be at 1000- 1100 dps.

Anyone posting that they want these EDA's to be a high slot mod is only doing so because they want an easy way to up the dps from their perma running armor tank afk-lvl 4 Domi.
Even at the full 22% there is just no way these things are going to be making drone boats OP. As I pointed in another thread, 3 x 22% mods after stacking is a 65% dps boost, or 770 dps with Ogre II's and lvl 5 skills on a damage bonused ship. (750 with garde's)
Given that it's cost you 3 low slots to achieve I would say that even that is barely adequate but as these aren't going to be the last love that drones receive I'm happy to wait. |

Well as I see it, either make the EDA a high-slot item, or give it a boost to make it comparable to other damage mods and keep it low slot.
Both seem balanced to me, but the high-slot has my preference because it's makes drones a more different weapon-type then missiles or turrets. And more difference is always the best choice imho.

I wonder why we don't get that equivalent to other dmg- mods and chill around 15%, instead of giving it those 21% and watch what happens?
It's the Testserver, baby!
If something is badly balanced, or in this case drone boats beeing overpowered, you certainly will hear from people.
I mean, even if you give it a 30% bonus, we can't get over a certain amount of dps, because we obviously can't field more than 5 Drones.

I totally agree and quote Tenga! EDA must be low slot but MUST be equivalent to other damage modifiers (gyro,magstab,heatsink)... SoniClover or other CCP people... its test server, so difficult to change a parameter and see what happens? i understand u cannot apply ROF on drones, but there should be something other u may change?
PS: which is the problem with a straight 21% to EDA?

Side note : as much as i want spinning radar dishes, i don't think that will happen, but making them high slot modules is critical.
Ok you asked for it. Time to brake it down for you in more detail.
Fist of all , witch ships could potentially benefit from an EDA regardless of high or low slot. - Drone Boats - high bandwidth BS - maximizing dps on a Ship with drone bandwidth - EW ships that have drone bandwidth.
Lets get in to facts: Drone boats -sub BS/BC: which balanced frig or cruiser sized ship setup should benefit from that ? sacrificing a vital Speed mod for dps, not seeing that happening, and those that potentially could consider sacking a low have much much more highs to spare.
-BC aka Myrmidon and Eos , both Gallente, both with armor tanking bonus and both with highs to spare.
High Bandwidth BS -Dominix 6xNeutrons 3xMag's, no rigs, Void, Heated 5x Gard II
1479 dps
Mega 7xNeutrons 3xMag's, no rigs, Void, Heated 5x Gard II
1500 dps
Hyperion 8xNeutrons 3xMag's, no rigs, Void, Heated 4x Gard II
1612 dps
___________________________________________________________ Add 1x ROF Rig.......Add 1x Sentury Rig....Add Both .......Add Smart Domi: 1509................1524...........................1554.................1567 Mega: 1535................1530...........................1565.................1570 Hype: 1651.................1636...........................1675.................1691
This Graph is not absolute and douse not consider ship setups, CPU/PG ,the limitation of overheating, tracking or the megas missile hardpoint. But it demonstrates well how little difference there is. Lets make a second graph impelling 3x EDA's to all fits
no rigs, Void, over heated 3x 15%EDA's (41%)..................20%EDA (57%) _____________________________________________ Domi: 1664.................................1736 Mega: 1623.................................1671 Hype: 1710..................................1748
Dornes don't need a lock Drones dont use Cap Droens are much more mobile then the ship that uses them Drones are very Versatile, diferent sizes, a choice of damage type, and EW
Sure drones can be shot, a Domi has about 60.000 Drone HP, no real pvp'er brings that up as an argument. You only rely shoot drones of none drone boats.
AS i demonstrated a cheap Dominix can surpass an overheating Hyperion. While having all the luxury of drones. that Dominix gets over 700 DPS with only 105.CPU/3.PG Moving EDA's to high slot wont solve that fitting benefit, actually it would enable the Dominix to have decent dps , decent tackle and decent tank. But it would not surpass the in your face Mega and Hyperion and would stick to the Gallente traits of being versatile self sufficient armor tanking ships .
High slot EDA's would also benefit EW ships that often have a drone bay and some turret/missile hard-points but fitting weapons to them is close to useless. those ships desperately need all lows and could benefit from a high slot EDA.
Lastly i propose the EDA to be active Modules that uses some amount of capacitor. Nano ships and passive shield tankers are tight on capacitor, a small amount of capacitor use would balance these modules out wonderfully and you can add a light effect. That also ads a moderate level of complexity.
Now show me how your "Opinion" beats my Data. |

one of the things that bothers me is as i get 100+ skills it gets rather expensive to die...
i would like the ability for medical clones cost to be market based vrs stagnant as eve is a sandbox....

Right On to the module so terrible nobody has even bothered giving any feedback on it.
These drones are marginally effective at the best of times and flat out useless in most other situations. Heavies provide some decent speed reduction, but are so slow themselves that they aren't really worth using outside of highly regulated/situational engagements
The new lights and mediums are nice and quick, but the web amount they give is pathetic due to stacking penalty. 4'th and 5'th light web drones reduce total speed by <1% each.
Sooo it seems to me we could either alter the stacking penalty or adjust the web amount Stacking penalty is a bit complicated for my coffee deprived brain atm, so I was thinking adjust the web drones like this:
SW-900 - 20% web -> 25% web SW-600 - 10% web -> 15% web SW-300 - 5% web -> 10% web
Obviously fiddling the stacking penalty in regards to drones would be a better solution, but I'm not sure how long/complicated that would be, and a little web buff to these drones might well achieve a similar effect There should be a rather awesome pic here |

I know its off topic but i assumed that the Ui team would be responsible for it if it can to be.

Dornes don't need a lock Drones dont use Cap Droens are much more mobile then the ship that uses them Drones are very Versatile, diferent sizes, a choice of damage type, and EW
...
Now show me how your "Opinion" beats my Data.
The fitting I showed, which was pure hurf blurf, to demonstrate, that in fact a Domi could get high dps with blasters already. It was made to show, that nobody should start whining about "high dps drones", before changes are even made, because EDAs will only trade the damage of turrets to get more drone damage.
Adding EDAs to turret bonused ships and then telling the drone boats are op, is a funny move. You know, that you need one highslot and two midslots already, to use the Drones on a Domi There are not many ships in the game that actually have a drone dmg bonus. These are the ships, that should benefit. If you work out a fitting that benefits from EDAs, not beeing a Droneplatform, nice, but not the primary goal.
An Eos has "spare" highslots to mount warfare links as it is intended. It's a command ship. The Myrm has unbonused highslots, where most people put 425 or 220 Autocannons and fly it as Shieldtank. Some lone wolfs out htere might really use the tripple rep setup, but thats not a common fit.
Why should ships benefit and get a dps boost, which have totally different roles, than applying dps on other ships, or applying even more dps via drones. My Machariel, for example, will be fine with an EDA in a highslot, since it is so low on dps and totally needs that last utility slot it has, made a dmg boosting slot. (sarcasm!)
Dornes don't need a lock
-they need at least one lock and even if you get that one, they probably will attack that NPC frig 80km away. Relying on drone AI? Are you kidding me?
Drones dont use Cap
-projectile weapons don't either, so what?
Droens are much more mobile then the ship that uses them
-sure, if you fly a brick. Nearly every ship in EVE can hold a set of warriors, so you seem to talk about the superfast Ogre II, I heard so much about?
Drones are very Versatile, different sizes, a choice of damage type, and EW
-Most ships can hold a set of EW drones. Caldari and Minmatar can switch damage types, too. |
