Mostly this is good stuff. Especially individual balance comments. Less so about skill tree changes and larger mechanics. But:
CCP, you need to pipe up about fixing medium Railguns. There's no point in talking about Ferox or Brutix changes without making the longer ranged hybrids possibly worth fitting to at least throw-away T1 ships, let alone T2 HACs and CSs.
Also, Skirmish link doesn't match with Amarr racially. They're the brick tankers, Gal should get skirmish links as a secondary racial link type because they're meant to be fast/agile/hard tackling.
Also why do you hate the Megathron so? Unless you're giving it an extra mid, then we might be cool, but what about the poor, fat Hype?. But so far you seem to hate the look and potential of the active armour brawler that the Mega line has been shown to be capable of being.  |

- Skirmish links and the Amarr/Gallente command ships
We recognize that the skirmish links do fit especially well with Gallente blasterboats and the Gallente scram range bonuses. The initial plan here gives Skirmish to the Proteus for that reason, but it may prove a good idea to give skirmish bonuses to the Eos and Astarte as well. We are not going to rule out the possibility of making the Amarr command ships Armor/Info bonused and the Gallente command ships Armor/Skirm bonused. This would cause a significant disruption for the 7 of you that have the Eos trained specifically for Info links, but that may be a sacrifice worth making. Not going to make any promises now but it's on the table.
- The Ferox and sniper/brawler role
Our ideal goal for the Ferox is a ship that can be used as either a sniper or brawler (as long as it takes advantage of the optimal bonus with blasters), but that leans a bit towards sniper. We recognize that this is going to be a very difficult like to walk considering how much competition the Attack BCs (formerly known as Tier 3) give in the sniping department. Giving it a niche may mean giving it optimal/tracking bonuses and an extra turret, it may mean a damage bonus, or it may prove impossible. Consider "Big Moa" to be a fallback if the design doesn't shape up once we start playtesting.
Getting this ship to work will likely also require a closer look at medium railguns as a weapon system.
I can't like this sort of feedback enough. Keep up the almost-top-notch work. |

Er because it means that? Maybe you're confused with a reduction being a bad/negative thing for balance, or in some way implying nerfing involves instantly bringing something below average or competitive, rather than just down from too high a place? No, it didn't. Originally, "nerf" came from Neft bats and their other toys, referring to a reduction so severe as to make something useless. Good point, but the common increase and reduction terms are nerf and buff. And a buff hardly implies an OP change, at least in my mind. Mostly because many seem to want unconsidered power creep and thus dislike any reductions. |
