Tempest Changes
------------------
70km base targetting range
10% Dmod ship bonus
1500 more pgrid
2000 drone space vs 1500

Typhoon Changes
------------------
72 or 75 base targetting range
5 turret points
1500 more pgrid

Projectile Changes
------------------
5% Dmod increase to Artilery
15% Tracking increase to Autocannons

Game Mechanic Changes
-------------------
80km Warp ins
110km Warp ins

This would make the game more enjoyable and logical to matari pilots while not making the changes to JUST projectiles where they could make them too powerful.

Nice ideas, the only problem I can see is that issue raised in the projectile changes thread. That is;

"If projectiles become good again, (again, I never saw them as good, I am only 4 or so months old ), there will be nothing to stop the people using the low cap usage to allow them to run massive geddon armour tanks."

My vote would go to making projectiles race specific maybe via a base tracking bonus across all minnie ships. Remember just fixing the Battleships doesn't help the cruiser or frigate pilots. We need to look at the race as a whole. There are still a lot of young min pilots in empire.

AFAIK, there are no ships with three bonus's bar the tech II ones. I don't know how "viable" this three bonus idea is code wise. It should be quite simple to rig the tracking bonus so that lvl3 of the ship class skill gives us the equiv of a couple of tracking enhancers.

True, it could be abused to create snipers with stacked damage mods. However we already have gall and amarr setups that are known to be gank ships. why not add a paper thin armour long range sniper to the mix? After all in fleet a small cruiser gang using a covert ops as a warp to marker could probably negate the threat these snipers pose.


edited forgot the warp in marker idea...

please yes, I am so tired of doing lvl 3's in my cyclone. Warp in create book mark, shoot a bit, warpout, warpin to bm create another bm,shoot a bit, warp out etc.... loot cans over 150km!
