If you want to see more T1 BC's using link then make them:

A) Easy to fit
B) More powerful than T3 links (Nerfing T3 links is a good way of achieving this)
C) *Important* make fleet boosting limited range, similar to omni's for drone.
D) Reduce the ammount of training needed to effectively use links.

If BC's all had 1 link they specialised in combined with the above, you would see fleets of them each with 1 link fitted each. I know the skillpoint issue is by far the biggest hurdle for younger players, and forcer older players to train alt's. If leadership is easier to train people would be more inclined to skill for link and incorporate them into their fits.

Personally i'd like to be able to make use of links solo. And i mean *truely solo*. I want to jump into a gate-camp and turn my link on and start fighting, without other people around or in fleet. It's like giving BC's a third bonus that is completely unique to the fit they want. VERSATILITY!

High cap use as a drawback provides a different challenge to the player than the drawbacks of other weapons. The point isn't to remove all the interesting drawbacks, it is to make sure that the potential benefits are good enough to keep everything as competitive as possible.

That weapon balancing goal is of course not something we have reached yet, but we are working towards it and rolling the cap use bonus into the weapon isn't the way to get there.

thx ccp for killing caldari !

first you downgrade the rockets and now make the drake to a pice of junk......

thats the time for saying good by.......... i quit this game.


thx ccp good job

Thats why for ten years they've only had like 3 drone ships?

Personally I'm against making the races similar, or making ship progression derp-level easy.

Difference is good.
