how about we just undo the whole Great Nano Nerf thing?
Not only does it screw up blaster boats, but it hurts small gang PvP, and it makes EVE less FUN to play. And making EVE fun to play should be #1 priority
Reverse the nerf completely and apply a new nerf: reduce polycarb rigs from 15% to 10% mass reduction.

Personally, ability to outfit a battleship with 5-7 km/s speed was crucial in allowing battleships to be used effectively in small roaming gangs of 0.0
Given that such battleships cost billions, plus another 2 billion in implants, I didn't see it has that much of a problem. The cost of it justified the power. It was hard to kill, but in the end it always died. All things die in EVE
If it's ok to spend 16 billion on supercarrier with insane EHP, high damage, long range neuts/smartbombs, and total immunity to EW. It should be ok to spend 4 billion on battleship that can do 5 km/s
Speed tactics are essential for elite PvP. And we need more elite PvP in EVE, besides the massive fleet battles.

Are you saying the typical Angel ship tactics are elite? Really? My experience has been the opposite. To win I can ignore virtually every game mechanic and focus exclusively on one thing, "Is my opponent faster than me?".

For sake of simplicity, I would classify any effective PvP tactics that cost more than 500 million to lose as elite PvP
In other words: I want more people use use expensive stuff in PvP, not because they are stupid carebears, but because it is effective.

Seriously.... pull up eft if you need to. A t2 afterburner with OD T2. while duel webbed does 703m/sec. A gist-a afterburner gives you 800m/sec.
I have to say that I actually like the idea of AB frigs being viable. Ability to have that kind of speed while webbed and scrambled is exactly what makes AB worth using.
If you couldn't get past 400 m/s, there'd be no point fitting it for PvP
Also, it should be noted that you can disrupt AB frig with 1 medium neut - if it doesn't fit small nos. Most larger PvP ships can easily fit a medium neut.

Third for all you people that say deal with frigs with nuets and drones.... I laugh at you. Do you guys actually play this game? You think you can nuet a frig with a mod that has 24 second activiation time long enough to be of any use? The frig has enough cap to reactivate any mod before momentum has a chance to slow it down enough.
Just want to point out that I recently killed some ex-IT guy's Crow thanks to 1 heavy neut. I was in neutron blaster ship with Null ammo, he was MWD'ing at 22 km. After 2nd neut cycle he lost the MWD for a short while, and as soon as he activated it, my large blaster insta popped him.
Granted, that was pretty damn lucky on my part, and the pilot was a bit stupid (for a BoB guy). But it does work. Heavy neuts do help against frigs - sometimes, enough times to be useful.
