the proposed changes to the Naglfar and capital missiles are nothing short of a disgrace.
The fact that the guy tasked to balance them thinks that a target painter is the answer is staggering beyond belief.
how did we get here?
CCP - lets remove Titan DD
CCP - lets make Titans wtf pwn mobiles with lots o'guns
CCP - Hmm that makes the new Titans too effective - what to do?
CCP - I know lets nerf the Titans AND amend capital guns
CCP - Hmm Capital guns seem to need balance
CCP - Nerf Naglfar - but they can use target painters on ew-immune structure/ ships!!
players - erm wtf?
You do realise that youre in a "screw-up" cycle dont you? You're making changes on the hoof which then cause other problems which you then change - whihc causes more balance issues.
Just STOP - pull ALL the capital changes and sit down with someone who knows what the heck they are doing and spend some time planning stuff. As it stands now this is a trainwreck waiting to happen.
(ps notice Ive not even gone near the Mothership debacle)

no more EFT balancing!
Nozh - this gets worse.
Straight answers needed
1. Why did you decide to change the naglfar back to being useless after we spent years arguing to get rid of the spilt weapons????
2. Why are you balancing one ste of capital weapons around e-war use?? why are you proposing one cap weapons type that doesnt do its max damage to its intended targets
3. Have you factored in reload time into your dps graphs (you know the ones you seem to take a gospel to balance around)
4. Answer Mittani's questions - what about Abathurs proposals???

just remove ALL of the capital changes from Dominion. If you go ahead with any of them in isolation youre creating a trainwreck waiting to happen,
Spend time working with the playerbase to determine roles for all Capital class ships and then balance around that.
All youre doing at the moment is rolling out changes in seemingly random, uncoordinated manner. Youre being reactive to balance issues whihc are cropping up by making further changes "on the fly" - which in turn are giving you even more balance issues.
as an example - the changes to Dread weapons started because you made Titans into "super Dreads" and then realised that they would then pwn sub cap fleets - I think this is what causes them anyway. Actually I suspect that you guys have forgotten what the reason for changing them is.
Golden rule - if youre in a hole - STOP DIGGING.
