If you make crosstraining take longer, it will be more important to pick the "right" race when you create your character. There is very little relevant information made available to new players at that stage. |

Havegun Willtravel wrote:The genuine issue here has nothing to do at all with the hulls. It's AC's. Fall off makes no sense in any logical analysis. Combined with dial in damage selection, no cap use, and to a lesser degree tracking enhancers, there is little incentive to fly any other race of gunship. This is the root cause that you need to be addresing, not hull changes.
Scorch says 'hi!'
I don't know what you mean about falloff making no sense but falloff-bonus Barrage is explo/kin only and the dial in damage selection takes you ten seconds to switch in space. Projectile bonus ships have less capacitor to begin with, compared to laser and hybrid ships, and drones and missiles are also neut neutral (heh!) damage projection.
TE and TC got buffed and it was a good change. We can argue about percentages, but having a reason to think about something else except "how many damagemods can I get on there" makes the fitting game more interesting.

Why would you get a refund? You don't lose anything. |

Fon Revedhort wrote:Also, their initial success have been yet another proof of how absurdly overtanked EVE is. DPS/tank ratio of tier3 BC is what all ships should have. Or close to it. And it had been that way before CCP introduced current rigs (favouring tank over damage) and buffed HPs by several times. 
Part of why Eve combat is exciting is because it doesn't happen at the drop of a hat, there's no instancing arenas so you need to actually go out of your way to pick a fight. But comparing how long it can take to get a fight to how quick it is over, I wouldn't mind a slight cut to dps overall.

I want more carriers out there. And JDO5 is enough of a wait. |

Marlona Sky wrote:Skill point loss is dumb. Plain and simple. Get rid of clone upgrade costs. The only thing it does is punish older players for playing the game and discouraging players from flying edge-of-the-seat ships that die a lot resulting in pod loss.
I agree. Upgrading a clone to keep skillpoints is not really a choice, or at least not a very interesting one, it's just another mandatory cost following podding.
Instead let players upgrade their clone to provide a benefit. ("Eifyr and Co. presents the Speed Daemon mk. 1 grade clone package, 1% bonus to ship velocity!" or whatever) If you want to turn it into a decent isk sink you make the upgrades run out so you have to renew them periodically if you want to keep enjoying the benefit. That would also get some isk out of clones in highsec, where podding is rare.
If you desperately have to, skillpoints could still be a factor in determining the price of upgrades, so that the best upgrades gets exponentially more expensive as pilots age. |

If this is the case, will people who have Faction Cruiser IV and Battlecruisers I be reimbursed for this training time, since other people will be getting it for free??
Why should you be reimbursed for your training time? You haven't lost anything.

Besides, if you have BC V, Dessie V, and all racial cruisers to III (<- this last one takes very little time), then you turn 2m sp in to 8m sp.... I don't think anyone is "owed" more sp.... if anything, ccp is being FAR TOO GENEROUS dishing the sp out!
There's nothing generous about it because there's nothing inherently beneficial about having more SP as far as game mechanics are concerned. All it does is contribute to a higher clone cost under the current system. |

It's stupidly unfair, but I get the message, you don't want me in the game and accordingly I cancelled my subscription.
So you'll pay comparatively less for your clones after the change. Good news for you.
Skill points doesn't matter for anything else. It's just a number that goes up. Every ship you could fly before the change, you will be able to fly after the change. |
