Would you stop putting utility highs on ranged ships? They really have no use at all.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't have the grid or cap for a gang mod in there.

As I've stated repeatedly restricting links to be on-field only is a bad idea. Fleets can't all always be on the same grid at the same time. If I'm part of a small gang chasing potential targets around the interceptors are going to need the benefit of skirmish gang links, but because they have different warp speeds there's two options here, neither of which are attractive at all: either the interceptor warps after the target alone and loses the fleet bonus, or it warps along with the boosting ship - while that ensures the interceptor will have the skirmish bonuses when they land, you're cutting the ceptor down to less than a quarter of its original warp speed and so chances are you won't be able to catch up with a target that's warped off ahead of you.

There are other problems with forcing links to be on field including the fact that the only way to get the best industrial bonuses is to use a several billion isk ship that's completely immobile and defenseless for five minute blocks of time - forcing the bonuses to be on grid won't bring the ship on grid, it will simply mean that the only reason anyone will ever use the industrial core is for compression jobs.

There are ways to solve the problem of invincible OGB ships - forcing all of them to be on grid is not one of the more comprehensive solutions.

And some are more equal in more situations than others.

Not that I'm envious of other race's bonuses (not that I ain't), but if I - and many othes - feel like mine is not good, why do both my combat ships have it...

Because they are diverse enough?
Well, I can fly the Prophecy at skill V just as much as the Myrm, and be less dependant on the limited (now mildly buffed) drone bay.
Both use ACs anyways, so no change there as well, no need to cross-train

Did anyone plan to say anything about racial weapons?

AC don't eat up cap, have lower fitting requirements, and have middling tracking. It amplifies your damage almost for free. And they have decent range.

Of course, you're right. You can use other things. AC's are just a no-brainer when you want something you can slap up in your highs, activate, and then forget, all while having no negative impact on your cap life. Also, you have selecatble damage types for when you actually ARE paying attention to your guns.

GJ dickslamming the BCs,

Frigate changes where awesome,
Crusier changes where good,
Battlecruiser changes are bad,

I see a pattern?

Battleship changes ******* terrible?

Battlecruiser changes are bad

These numbers are with my skills so results may very slightly.

EHP ~30000 with about a 700 DPS tank maybe more maybe less I would need to do more math. The test server is not calculating the aar correctly.

Speed ~1190 M/s ~1650m/s overheated

DPS Void 772/CN Anti 708/null 596 (155 from Hammerheads)

IMO not to bad
...

This looks more like a nerf to the Gallente Battlecruisers than anything else.. Increased sig radius, reduced turret slot on the Myrmidon - Brutix is getting less EHP.

...

1. I agree, but I think it needs the ASB changing/nerfing rather than armour tanking being buffed beyond the AAR proposal

...

The devs flat out said a while back they won't listen to most player criticism b/c we clearly don't now what we are doing and just want to moan.

They forgot about the fact that they clearly don't know what they're doing and that they have a 6 year recent track record to prove most of that.

In relation to the myrmidon with its current bonus it surely limits its optimal fighting style to the same as the brutix blasters and active reps whereas if you look at the vexor it can quite happily use either armour buffer/active or shield buffer/ASB with either blasters or rails.
