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.

Those are going to be a different dev blog

While I approve the the strength reduction on T3 boosts please dont make them have to be on grid. Those of us that do sub 10 man gangs and solo just plain need links for fighting 30-40 man gangs and having a chance to kill a few before having to gtfo without all just dying in a fire.

What should happen is:

Command ships be able to give better bonus to the whole fleet but have to be on field

T3 be able to off grid boost but only be able to give bonus to a squad (10 people) and provide less bonus

No command bonus from inside a pos what so ever.

These chances would mean that solo and small gang people still have a chance and command ships still have their role in medium to large War fair.

fleetboosters working like warp bubbles is cool stuff.

but not with the current grid mechanics, there should be a default grid of at least 1000km around all places where fights might happen

If you're looking to make info links more useful, give us some neut/capacitor bonuses with them.

Guess what, those 30-40 man gangs exist in part because 10 of the same players cannot compete with your 10 man offgrid boosted gang in the first place. You're part of the problem.

I meet all the requirements for flying field command ships but never trained for the fleet command ships (missing information link specialist). After the change will I still be able to fly my sleipnir/absolution or are you going to require the terrible fleet command skills for all CS?

There is a lot of talk about boosting from behind a POS shield. I actually think this is fine (and should be possible) IF boosting is changed to ongrid boosting. So if you defend a POS, you can have the booster inside the shield, makes perfect sense.
Obviously it is broken at the moment with Offgrid boosting, so a temporary fix might be in order that at least removes this ability for now, in other words: put it back once boosting is changed to be ongrid only!

To me it would be very sad if even people defending a pos couldn't boost from inside.

I might be thinking too simple but can't you just set the boost range to the mining links to systemwide and the others to "on-grid"? Or are people going to complain that people mining should have a booster in their belt because boosting mining from a POS also gives the miners an unfair advantage? This eliminates the discussion rolling back to mining where I think it has no relation.

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.

We want to explore options on how to turn the Brutix into a more reliable close-range brawler, while the Talos keeps a kiting advantage.

significant boost should have significant risk... its how to balance things

You cant do a single thing inside a pos, cant lock let alone shoot/point even agro with smart bombs. Giving bonus from inside a pos is a broken mechanic, and leads to zero risk for the ship itself. T3 links can be scaned, commands on field can be killed, everything in this game should have risk.

not sure what you mean by neut bonus to a link but certainly cap and fittings need to be looked at.

Danish Imperialist!!

Using innocent icelanders for your gain, the danish never change...... <.<

However, let's throw a brainstorming concept out here just for fun: What if gang links worked a lot like warp disruption spheres?

Regarding the Ferox, if we're trying to keep it advantaged as a sniper, I feel like there's really only one way to think about it. It's not a large Moa, it's a smaller, faster Rokh. The tank bonus is needed for durability, I'd expect, and giving it range/damage will make it just a smaller-gunned version of the Naga, whose problems other people have covered here. (I agree with the people saying that "Large Moa" will make one or the other insufficiently good. The same goes for the Naga comparison.)

I'd really like to see a properly snipey Ferox, now that I might actually have T2 medium rails soon, but it needs to be able to hold up under fire to compete with things like the Drake, even if that's an extreme example which may be getting a tanking nerf to go with its damage nerf.
