I think By Dominion they Mean Unity, By in which their Patch will United all of 0.0 in a hate of the new patch....
This Change is not only unnecessary, it completely destroys hundreds of trillions in Invested Assets. Each Mothership/Super Carrier Pilot Just lost 10 Bil for their Ship 6-10 bil for their storage alt, 8-20 bil on their fittings (for a Over Sized meat Shield that had its claws clipped and teeth capped.)
All yall in Highsec that like the changes cause it will make them Much MUCH MUCH more common should really understand what that means. Imagine if they lowered the cost of CNR's to 300mil (though it would never happen just cause of the highsec tears) Or if they Spawned 100 more State Ravens. Rarity is Value, A reduction in Rarity means a reduction in value. Next titans will be 15 bil and all those titan pilots that spent 40-70 getting the ships and years of training will be all for nothing.
I mean do people really forget that a handful of AF's can kill all of a SC/MS pilots FB's in well quick time. Once they die then its fighters (if we have room), those will die quicker, then its drones and well now theres not super threat. With 20, the time to catch a kill all of them was decent enough that if you could maintain reasonable dps even if people were hunting your fb's. By decreasing them to 10, you made it so our Dps is 100% easier to destroy.
If youve ever flown Caps you'd know that when your fighters/fb's start dieing you pull em back thats a huge isk sink to let someone just pop all of them!
If Damage was the worry, Reduce the Fb's Damage output dont Cut the number of drones. 10 ECM drones is nowhere near as effective as 20, 10 Neut drones is nowhere near as effective as 20, and so on, and these arent even damage drones, then you must consider Rep drones, 10 vs 20. The Biggest attraction to the MS/SC was the 20 drones in space at one time. Yes, we all understand the huge hp boost and we thank you for it cause now we dont die the minute the dread gang looks at us. But you originally stated that you wanted the MS/SC to be a dps class ship, and we were all sure you understood the difference between straight dps and drone dps, and how drone dps can be dealt with quickly and leaves a ship defenseless one it has been dealt with.
So what i ask and im sure everyone prolly would agree with is Give MS/SC's back their mas 20 drones/fighters in space, and tone the Fb's Damage down alittle before ganking 10 of our babies right from us. Reason being if at the moment 20 fb's is Over powering, understandable, but 20 fighters isnt OP, 20 Heavies isnt OP, 20 Mediums, smalls, neuts, ecm, rep, tracking,dampening, sentries, webbing drones arent op. But by making all of them 10 you relegate the MS/SC to being a regular carrier with a new fighter that is ok at killing caps but will be targeted by small support, and a nice tank. So Cap Fc's will fly them so they dont do down when target calling starts but more than likely will be dual boxing as to be helpful with a dread alt.
20 Drones/Fighters = Ms/SC it is their Identity, and the reason a majority of people liked them.
Yes the Price change sucks from a personal standpoint but the problem i see comes from the straight deletion of eve Currency, as i said if there are 200 ms pilots in eve (not hard to believe with moms) thats 2 trillion isk in assets that just Disappears over patch day. Now since CCP stated that there were around 250 titans in Eve lets assume the number of MS doubles that. so 500 Now we are looking at 5 trillion isk lost, and thats if the loss is only 10 bil. Seeing as for the longest time they were priced at 18bil and your saying that the cost will be 5-6 that means it would be a loss of 12-13bil per ship, not to mention training time and the alts. At that loss rate it would be 6 tril to 6.5 tril in straight isk removed from the game due to value reduction.
But im Ranting
There be my 2 cents
