All you people complaining that these things will be unkillible, 1v1 yes they will be VERY VERY hard to kill but thats the point of them. In a gang fight you CANNOT maintain transversal against all targets at the same time.

Wait, so it's fine if a ship is designed to be OP solo and the best way to kill it is to bring one of your own (or gang up on it). Interesting 
The justification it's fine was used once before, though.
Did I say you would need other AF's to counter them cause you wont. Even with these changes 2 cruisers will murder 2 AF's. Because neither of the AF's will be able to maintain transversal on both cruisers. 1700 ms ISN't THAT fast to be zipping around the battlefield. There is a reason AB intie's stay at home for fleet work.
You guys are all crying that these will be the new Iwin buttons but A EQUAL NUMBER of other anything cruiser and up will murder them in any engagement outside of a 1v1.

Want to know what counters AF's going 1.5-2k/s with no signature increase? A big fat nothing.
I'm already going that fast in a Gistii A-Type AB Wolf. It should pass 3 km/sec with overloading after the boost.
Gistii A-Type 1MN Afterburner post-boost = 278.25 %
Add Zor's Hyperlink and a Rogue MY-2 = 306.075 %
Pretty sick.
those pimp faction AB's might need a look at with this change, but overall its not as op as you guys make it sound. The sky is not falling and 2x AF's will lose to 2x Cruisers nearly everytime.

Really guys, you still think these are overpowered when a equel number of ships in almost ANY other ship class can murder them, 2x cruisers would absolutely destroy 2 AF's even with this boost.
I think this boost is good BUT its not a fix all. The Vengeance is still only good as a tackler as its DPS is laughable and it has a capacitor bonus but less base capacitor then a Retribution wth. The Retribution is still terrible. Enyo still lacks anything to merit using it over a Ishkur. The Wolf will be helped a lot by this and the Jag will just be amazing although I still might fit a MWD on mine because I like overheating and catching Inties to ruin there day.
Rockets and Standard missiles will need help. Lots of it.
