I despise that tracking link bonus. Seriously, active tank bonuses for the ships that are designed to be the solo logi in a gang.

Love the principle, hate the detail.

Energy transfer bonus is great and widely used. It helps power a logi chain, or it keeps heavy cap-use combat set-ups running.

Drone bonus is appalling in most in-game uses - the idea that it might help as a pve function is so naive it makes me doubt the otherwise good ideas you guys have put forward so far.

The notion of replacing it with a tracking link bonus is even worse ! This is such a niche use I can recall the one and only time I ever tried to use this function, laughed at how utterly ineffective it was and never tried again.

Please, try a bonus that will actually have some widespread benefit for the ROLE that these ships will have, don't just shoehorn some crappy second function just because something has to be added to make it seem balanced when we all know otherwise.

Give these ships a new module and let them remotely boost resists (1 for amour, 1 for shields); that fits well with the role and creates a new and interesting twist for freighter convoys and the like. Or something along those lines. But please, not what you've mentioned so far.

Do not worry, these ship don't rely on drones to repair any more than current Scimitars and Oneiros' do.

I will one up you:

1000% bonus to the range of Remote Armor Repairers
250% bonus to range of ECCM Projectors
50% bonus to range of Remote Sensor Booster

Put the Warfare in Information Warfare.

If supers are so bad that they cant consider buffing t1 cruisers without it breaking supercaps then maybe supercaps need to be flagged for NO assistance of any kind.

As if Tech 2 logistics aren't silly powerful?

Almost nobody in 0.0 doe a 4 large rep Oneiros due to fittings.

While I cannot provide an exact number I do know there are a lot of triage carrier pilots out there.
And again could you show this 3 rep oneiros fit?

Definitely something to consider.

and what use is a eccm bonus on a ship who will be instantly targeted by the ecm ship knowing full well the eccm bonus would hamper his job jamming more ships?

Point being it kind of nerfs the use of the ship in that respect where as a tracking link bonus would actually be useful as a support skill especially for gallente blaster boats without attracting the same amount of attention.

All the more reason to put it on the pvp map im sure a brutix would love a nice range boost especially mine :)

Because the 2 ships with the bonus's lack enough slots and secondary use to be worth using
