Did you guys consider removing warping on grid as a means of enhancing the use of Micro Jump Drives (MJD)
Did you guys remember to make them unusable to capital ships?

Huge. Gigantic. Overwhelming.
Take for example "Unit D-34343's Modified drone damage amplifier".
The issue is Obvious. The number is decimal. Not binary. Not Hex. Decimal.
AAARRRGGGGG!!!!!
Also, any deadspace drone mods, for mission and high sec to low sec exploration?
Well we named those mods, (humans) not the drones, so of course they aren't in Hex or binary. On their side of the fence, perhaps they are named with that or something.

Still mad about the MLP picture in one of the previous devblogs.
With that aside, you (CCP dev blog writers) have DIRECTLY stated that there will be no changes or rebalancing to a number of battleships, as you think they are perfect, and then in this post, you have said ALL ships in eve will be rebalanced.
Also, how do you plan to rebalance freighters and jumpfreighters? Will we ever finally see any module fitting ability on freighters? |

So Cruise Missiles are left behind for further expansions/patches?

I don't think they need to be touched at all anymore. I mean they just buffed Fury Accuracy and Dmg / Precision are getting the same Dmg as T1 / T2 Penalties are gone and all the Missiles move a bit quicker.
The only ship that uses Cruise Missiles is the Raven so hand it a 7th Launcher + a lil more Grid and move a low to a mid and the thing is fine. The Missiles already move 50% faster then a Drakes which means it has 50% more operating range with the option to let them fly further.
Bring the Raven up to Par and they don't need to buff the Missiles anymore. |

That's not enough to justify flying Battleships over convenient tech1/tech2 stuff in medium-sized class. Damage difference is not high enough.

No.
I personally used them to PvP with Typhoon (+fleet issue), Navy Scorpion, Golem. They are pretty different from regular Raven. Rattlesnake can be fitted with them as well. So it's quite a bunch of ships.

I've gotta say, when I've fooled around with the Micro Jump Drive on the test server, it felt... disappointing. The icon was cool, the visual effects were pretty awesome, but I can't actually discern its tactical application at the moment. The high spool-up time makes it pretty much useless as an ambush tool, as almost all ships smaller than a battleship (and even then, some battleships) will have time to make their escape. It's cap-hungry, it can only be used once every five minutes, it occupies an entire mid-slot you could use for something more useful and it's affected by warp disruptors and warp disruption fields, meaning that it's also useless as an escape tool - which I will point out is the largest purpose that a "blink" ability has.

That is because the Raven is short a Launcher and the Typhoon is short 2 Launchers. They should focus there.

* Typhoon is being made a full line Missile Ship so that fix's that. But current try fitting LR Weapons to any other ships with a split weapons system, see many Artillery Cyclones around lately?
* Navy Scorp could also get a 7th launcher.
* Golem is a Marauder with an 8 unbonused launcher equiv. You want to use it for long ranger weapons? How many Artillery Vargurs, Rail Kronos and Beam Pally's do you see wandering around? LR weapons barely if at all work in PvP on the ones with Dmg bonuses, this one does not have one.
* Rattlesnake is a Drone Boat Primarily so how many PvP Rail Domi's do you see? Maybe they could change all Guristas to a Dmg Role Bonus, 4 unbonused weapons, no Battleship pulls off effective range weapons with that, that isn't Cruise Missiles Fault.
The Missiles are fine, the number of Launchers are short. |

Come on, everyone knows missiles don't fit into this close-range/long-range sheme. I see LR drakes and tengues on a daily basis LOL. So let's compare apples to apples, that is - missiles to missiles.
Atm cruise battleships don't provide substancial damage increase over HML drakes, NHs and Tengues and the incoming patch will not be enough to change that. Suggesting to add launchers will just make Torp setups really devastating and I doubt that's something anyone wants.

Drake 7 Launchers + Dmg / Tengu 5-6 Launchers with a 5% Dmg and a 7.5% RoF / Nighthawk which isn't so hot, 6 Launchers, 5% Dmg, 5% RoF and being buffed. Take away the Drakes 7th Launcher or the Nighthawk's RoF Bonus see how great they fare.
So again Raven is short Cruise Missile Dmg because it is short a Launcher, not the Missile. Typhoon has 5 Launchers so Cruise Missiles not really realistic like at all, when they make it a real missile ship then maybe.

The PG nerf on the Hurricane is much needed. It is can fit anything without having to sacrifice a single module/rig to boost its power grid like the rest of the battle cruisers.
Sorry, but no ship should be able to have its cake and eat it too.

I would have preferred they added a 7th Turret and changed the RoF Bonus to Tracking then moved a Low too a Mid make it a full Shield Ship.
Slightly less Dmg, no Duel Neut, no 1 DCU, 2 TE, 2 Gyro, 1 Nano low slot mix, you have to choose to lose one.
After that it would just be a factor of Armor Balance for the non shield ships and Tiericide. |

This is all really good, BUT 'walking in stations' should be developed in addition to improvements with ships.
Exploring abandoned space stations and hollow asteroids would be awesome.

WeGÇÖre moving a low to a mid, so you can choose to fit a point or keep the dedicated DPS role by fitting a tracking computer. The Coercer also benefits significantly from a reduction in small laser fitting requirements....
Loss of low translates into a major dps hit, counter to the "dedicated dps" role.
Loss of low translates into a major variation hit as everything but eWar goes there.
Loss of low translates into a major mobility hit as it is where speed/agility mods reside.
Etc.
Should have taken a high instead of a low, meets all targets and solves all issues with zero drawbacks. Amarr ship having same layout as the filthy Gallente hull is heresy .. do you know what we Amarr do with heretics?
It does benefit rather greatly from increased fittings and laser reductions, but no where near enough to make up for the pigeon holing it will experience with just three lows .. lets hope the newcomer can pick up the slack left when Coercers are retired en masse after it settles into the obvious beam FoTM (wont have tank (lows, go figure!) for anything else). |

It's quite obvious people responding to my post haven't a clue what I was trying to get at; at least from their responses. So I'm working on a longer set of posts to go into more detail on *why* it's a bad idea to go so far with this nerf before seeing how the Hurricane will act in relationship to all the other ships. Since they aren't totally nerfing the Drake to oblivion like they are the Hurricane it's obvious that they don't *have* to do it now.
The name of the game is patience NOT jumping to conclusions like this nerf is. I'll go into more detail when I finish my response and make sure I've proof-read it.

With no need to align, and nothing able to point with a Scram at 100km from gate (or even 85km from a gate), it's just jump gate, MJD, align, warp away. You just made an invulnerable blockade runner. I saw MJD and the only thing that popped into my head is "Michael Jackson Dance" "Yeah, my Apoc moonwalked out of that bubble." Come to think of it, the MJD really should jump directly backwards.
I'm never going to be able to think about them in any other way. Thanks a lot. 
I'm Down wrote:Did you guys consider removing warping on grid as a means of enhancing the use of Micro Jump Drives (MJD)
Nothing is changing with on grid warping in Retribution. We are investigating some ideas but they would much more likely end up changing the minimum warp distance rather than completely removing on grid warping.

Yeah we triple checked. MJDing Titans would not be a good thing.

We never said there would be no changes to any ship, although for quite a few ships the role may stay the same. There's an important distinction there.

Everything will be getting close looks. There's some stuff we know we want to change with freighters and that list may get added to, although I can't promise module fitting.
Fon Revedhort wrote:So Cruise Missiles are left behind for further expansions/patches?
Yep, we can only get so much done in each patch so we are leaving the specific focus on Cruise missiles until we also hit battleships.

That's a loaded question (or bet, whatever). You can interpret pretty much anything that is flexible as a nerf.
Let's assume freighters do get some fitting ability, say two lowslots each, and a somewhat corresponding change to their stats. By that I mean a bit less cargo and armor for example.
You can argue that now freighters are possible that can't be ganked that easily. omgNERF! But you could also say that any freighter not specifically fit to withstand a gank (i.e. +armor or +resists, maybe even a AR can become viable) will be easier to gank. Anyone who has some sense should of course fit for resilience and not cargo capacity as soon as valuable cargo is carried, but we all know that isn't gonna happen on every freighter.
And yes, freighters should get some form of fitting ability. At least to SOME degree... Having no way to customize a ship in EVE for a purpose is just stupid. |

I've got an idea how they should do it.
sure, you could fit a DCII and bulkheads, but that'll slow you down more, and need you to be ATK.
How many people would just fit 2 EC2's (to get the current capacity with how I'd do it). Or 2 nanos/istabs to get into warp faster?

That really would be nice thing as freighters are too easy to suicidegank atm. They melt like butter under those T3 BC large guns.. They really need to get buffed.. Reason why im not buying one is that they are so easy to gank that theres no point with that 1,4billion hull cost.

The cap usage is way out of line even with the current -5% cap usage per level. Here are some numbers:
Reactive Armor Hardener: -6.3 cap/sec
T2 armor hardener: -1.5 cap/sec
T2 shield hardener: -2 cap/sec
T2 Invulnerability Field: -3.2 cap/sec
Most armor tanking ships are much more cap dependant than shield tanked ones also.
Agree with this 100%
Fozzie, when you'll update us with the armor rebalance, please think also about the above !!

Another fantastic devblog - thank you CCP for keeping us in the loop! It is very much appreciated.
Loved all the changes, very much looking forward to giving them a try.
Could i make a suggestion? Cheers.
This chart - once completed and filled in with all the ships, would make an excellent addition to the New Player Experience. I often found myself trawling through the market for ages, trying to figure which ship i wanted to use for a particular situation. This image is exceptionally useful and would definitely help to give new players a nice overall view of ships and their categories, etc.
Keep up the great work! Honestly can't wait for December now :3 |
