Avalloc, I have a couple things...
Right now I think the main thing facing players in 0.0 space is the introduction of terrible lag with Dominion. There has always been lag when looking at massive fleet battles (500+ in a system) however since the last major patch having 150-200 people in a system engaged in combat seems to now cause significant lag. Many pilots are now reluctant to engage in large-scale fleet battles for fear of jumping/bridging into a system only to load a black screen. With conflict be spurred by fights over moon resources and sovereignty structures which require capital ship fleets or large battleship fleets to effectively attack or defend, what is being done to resolve the crippling lag issue? Or will POS and sovereignty structures be rebalanced to move fleet combat away from large fleet combat and towards smaller, more strategic fleets?
The value of moon minerals changed with Dominion such that certain minerals which are regional became more valuable than other minerals of equal or greater rarity. Technetium being the prime example. Was this intentional or an unforeseen consequence of the re-balancing? Will we same the same un-even distribution of valuable resources with the introduction of Planetary Interaction?
The re-balancing of super capital class ships and the introduction of fighterbomber drones has changed how capital fleet engagements are fought. A super carriers make great anti-capital ships with fighter bombers however they can also be used to incapacitate POS modules (turret batteries, ECM batteries, anything that is anchored outside the POS shields) and can easily shoot incapacitated modules through 99% resists and destroy them. A well fit super carrier can also tank a well armed POS. I understand the need for an anti-capital ship weapon such as fighter bombers, and the need for a super capital class ship to have a reasonable tank, however it seems out of balance for both to be use simultaneously with no drawbacks. While I think the re-balance of super capital ships (super carriers AND titans) has been overall a good thing, are super capital ships and fighter bombers going to be revisited for a "fine tuning" pass any time soon?
Thanks!
