The upshot is that fitting a full rack of 720s with a MWD and LSE and full mids and lows will require a RCUII and either an ACR or PG implant. Also fitting a standard shield autocane with neuts and LSE will require dropping a few guns down to 220mm. The hurricane will likely receive significantly more changes when we get to battlecruisers in the balance pass, but this is designed as a compensation for the drop in Arty PG and to help alleviate the problem of Arty ships having so much free PG when they use autocannons.
Way to completely hamstring the hurricane. You won't be able to fit a decent armor cane with these changes. It's now a ****** nano-cane or nothing. Nice work on making the game even more uniform and less interesting. |

You just won't be able to fit 2 1600mm plates, 2x Medium Neuts and 425mm ACs. You'll have to work for your fitting. Try using 1 plate. Or downgrade your neuts. Or downgrade your ACs. Trust me, it works.
Decent armor cane fit is 220s, 2 med nuets, mwd, and 1 1600mm plate. With these changes, you'll either lose about 8k EHP by switching a trimark to an ACR, have to drop to 180s, or use small neuts. Pretty much all of these mean you'll have a hard time going toe-to-toe with any of the other BCs. |

Watch everyone fit tracking disruptors on their ship.
Watch everyone whine that they can't kill each other or its taking forever.
CCP nerfs TD to oblivion and makes its useless for 3 years.
CCP balancing process sucks it takes forever just to change a few digits.
You still haven't fix core philosophy problems with Gallente ships being slow armor tank and having the shortest range guns.
Railguns are the biggest POS of eve.
Soon "Because of Falcon" will be replaced by "Because of Pilgrim." |

Armor cane FTW ... no one but pirates seem to fly one anymore tho. But again our CCP design team is crap and they don't look at all the uses a ship gets and instead only go hey, it can be used in one way we think we might not like so we gotta break it so it can't be used like that, but damn the side effects of other things it's no longer good for. We don't want WOW in space, in fact we want WOW in space players to quit and go find a game suited to them.
Pretty much this. They balance based on how the ship is used by a bunch of F1 monkeys who couldn't kill a damn thing on their own, and completely ignore how the ships behave when you don't have 250 of them on the field. They need to consider both scenarios, not just one, when balancing.
Also, if they actually wanted to increase arty use on the attack cruisers, why not give them a role bonus to PG reduction rather than modifying the base grid amount on the medium long range guns, thus requiring a PG nerf to nerf the cane?
As a side note, I do like the TD/TE/TC/TL changes for missiles, it makes this option of ecm more viable. Just be careful with how powerful these are. |
