I've played off & on since 2004 & am up to just over 24m Skill Points. Here's a chart that shows what this change does to almost 15% of my skill points.
As you can see, I've trained specifically to sling Heavy Missiles from a Tengu so that I can run level 4 missions. This really really screws over players like me who couldn't give two craps about what goes on out in drama-sec. If you want to nerf the Drakespam, nerf Drakes...not an entire weapon system. EVE is already at a point, PvE-wise, where my buddy's Ishkur already outdoes my Tengu in both tank & gank for L4 missions. This change will just make PvE even more lopsided away from Caldari. |

Then we'll laugh at how failfit your tengu must be to be outclassed by an assault frig.
Level 4s are meant to require battleships. Tengus were never supposed to replace BSs. Fly a CNR like everyone else. This is as much a buff to torps as it is a nerf to HMLs. Now torp navy scorps will rock.
Ah, my bad. IshTAR :P |

\o/ Balance, we have it people!!!
I did mean Ishtar. However, considering the fact that neither Caldari HAC can come close to soloing L4 missions, I'd say that we don't really have balance here. The Tengu outclasses both Caldari HACs by an enormous margin. In fact, this update appears to make the Caracal almost on-par with the Cerberus...

If you ran lvl4s in twice the time but everything dropped to half the price while we got more balanced weapond & ships, so be it.
I understand that. I just wanted to point out how badly this will effect those in my situation. Tengu has been the go-to Caldari mission ship for years. I just sold my SNI less than two weeks ago to trade into a Tengu. It looks like I'm going to have to trade back after this update. |

That would be perfectly fine, if the Caldari HACs weren't complete ****. |
