You asked us to go check them out, and I did.
The current stats for the new AB's are 105% boost. (135% for AB II's)
The PG requirements have gone up too. from 500 to ~650 (iirc)
I tried fitting out my agent mission cruiser with the oversized AB, and tbh, I couldn't find a decent setup that would fit.
This may cause some upset. A lot of people had gotten used to having oversize AB's, and this will probably knacker a lot of them.
Personally, I'll stick with the standard sized ones from now on.
Just as a point to mention, being able to fit an oversize with the new stats will give you 1050% speed boost now. Which is equivalent to two standard size MWDs, so it may be well worth the PG penalty.
Also, MWD's no longer have a shield penalty. That's a good thing.

hmm no more oversized ABs? and regular sized AB suck? well guess we're back to: bigger is better. no more friggies in fights.
you can still fit oversized AB's, you'll just have to make more sacrifices to your equipment to do so.
and you can still use frigates. You just have to fit mwd's. Like everyone did before the oversized AB trick became popular.
And AB's suck less. one AB is now the equivalent of three old ones.
I'd still prefer midsize AB's and MWD's though. Although balancing 8-12 new sizes of AB/MWD is gonna take a while.
