now all they have to do is nerf projectiles.

Somewhat of two minds about this - I'm a bit nervous about my heavy SP investment in missile skills on this character, but I look forward to the opportunity to anticipate (and hopefully profit from) the resulting market shifts.

Besides, missiles have been boring and dead easy for a while now. The disruptor changes ought to liven things up.

I don't disagree with the HML range nerf, but a 20% dps is reduction is full ret@rd.

they wont loose only 1 account.the numbers will be quite significant.

+ 1

What will they not be able to do after the nerf that they can do now?

Weapon upgrades V and gunnery II for a TE

Trajectory analysis IV and gunnery IV for a TC

Seriously that is less then two weeks for both from scratch and you should have weapon upgrades already.

To be fair, until this topic he has been doing quite a good job, and upon writing this topic, the stuff people are debating about is just "an unreasonable change", not "Something I should unsubscribe over and want not to exist in any shape or form".

The issues are such:

-Hurricane can't armor tank well with these changes. It should be changed so it can shield tank and get the neuts on there as well (having only like 30k tank with shields), or get its big armor tank as well without the neuts. (Previously you could get 55k tank with armor, 2 neuts, and a full rack of 220s which is where it got a bit ridiculous)

-Heavy missile damage nerf is too much, bring it down to 10% minimum

-Buff HAMs, they suck too much, thats why everyone gravitates to Heavy missiles, please increase their damage or explosion velocity, or something of the sort.

-This one's debatable, but: TDs don't need to affect missiles, the nature of missiles is different than gunnery platforms, and should stay that way. Otherwise, TDs become too overpowered. Just because heavy missiles are useful doesnt mean all missile types should be screwed over. As well, just because the drake and tengu are OP using heavy missiles doesnt mean heavy missile have to be nerfed, making other ships that use heavy missiles useless in every way.

Will your skills still allow you to use missiles and the only Missile that is getting nerfed is the HM so yes its a pretty even skill train match up. Heavy Missile V High Speed Maneuvering V don't see how this is all that different.
