Issue: Information Warfare links, while not completely useless, are of far less attractiveness than Armored, Skirmish and Siege Warfare links. Also, Information Warfare doesn't really suit Gallente at all, as far as RP is concerned.
-------------------
Solution: Scrap IW links in favor of Assault Warfare links. These deal with damage application.
Assault Warfare Link - Target Leading
Increases all turret tracking by 2-3% (before skills/mindlinks/commandships)
Assault Warfare Link - Gun Drill
Increase all turret falloff by 2-3% (before skills/mindlinks/commandships)
Assault Warfare Link - Surrogate Combat
Increase all drone speed and tracking by 2-3% (before skills/mindlinks/commandships)
-------------------
Q: Why no Optimal range link?
A: Because they would become pretty much mandatory for fleet fights, whereas all other gang links are only "nice to have".

Nice idea, but only fair if the target leading and gun drill links would give a bonus to missile systems too. Maybe a explosionradius/velocity boost?
If there would be another set of assault links like those for missiles only nobody would fit them anyway probably because lolcalamari

its a great idea, and I dont think they have to have a missile module, its not really very "gallente". Reward small gang/solo pvp!

Pretty hot. Although maybe add some kind of bonus on them for missiles too. Sig radius and explosion velocity?

The missile and a couple other issues can be resolved with:
Quote: Assault Warfare Link - Target Leading
Increases all turret tracking & missile explosion velocity by 2-3% (before skills/mindlinks/commandships)
Assault Warfare Link - Gun Drill
Increase all turret falloff, optimal, and missile flight time by 2-3% (before skills/mindlinks/commandships)
Assault Warfare Link - Surrogate Combat
Increase all drone speed, optimal, and tracking by 2-3% (before skills/mindlinks/commandships)
Besides that, this gets a big fat :thumbs: from me

I think it's ok that missiles not get a boost because, as it's been said above, it wouldn't be very "Gallente". And it kinda falls in with the other races' links, since they too can have limited use on other races' ships (i.e. Siege Warfare links are pretty irrelevant for most non-caldari ships, excluding some minnie ships).
At best, maybe Target Leading could be changed to giving a bonus to turret Sig Radius and missile Explosion Radius. In effect, it's still a boost to turret tracking, but it also helps missiles some.

These seem interesting, but I'm not actually sure that they'd be any better than the information links are now. These provide a fairly small boost to a lot of ships, instead of a fairly big boost to a few ships, but neither one is going to be obsoleting Damnations any time soon.

A max-skilled Eos pilot with mindlink would be giving a sniper BS fleet between 25 and 38% extra turret tracking with the Target Leading ganglink. That's a considerable bonus.

Yeah, that's the one most likely to see use. Still though, it's nothing special - nowhere near as powerful as either of the resistance links, for example. And what about the other two links you propose? Who would ever fit a falloff link besides maybe a solo Sleipnir(and even then, they'd probably prefer shield resists or tackle range)? And the drone speed link is handy, but it's really nothing to write home about either. Which of these is going to make the Eos a viable fleet command ship?

The falloff will be pretty usefull in fleets which have a lot of Gal/Min ships, and the drone one will help a lot sentry drones (RR gangs) and light drones (cathing up to/keeping with fast ships).
It's been suggested that the drone link should also boost optimal range and control range.

supported.
Gallente warfare is very aggressive and these links would reflect it.
However, keep the information links and create a new ship class.... Covert Command Ship. EWAR cruiser hull that uses and bonuses the links, Will have a slightly buffed tank and very low DPS but would be useful on blackops fleets. Anyone agree?

I like the idea of these links, but I would not like to see them replacing the existing IW links, rather having them as additional link options. Some of the existing IW links and the new links could be redistributed to the other link classes so that each has 4 instead of 3 in the end.
Supported conditionally.

Edited by: Maxsim Goratiev on 15/11/2009 20:06:16 Hybrid turret damage instead of falloff maybe? at least that's what i would prefer. Resistances are incredibly powerful bonus, damage would be on par. Information warfare has nothing to do with gallente, is nearly useless and i strongly dislike it. Complete and absolute support.

That's not a bad idea.
