I want to reiterate that CCP really can't mention a TE change without talking about how terrible medium railguns are. You tell me, does anyone use them for anything except noobs in lvl3s? I'm aware this is titled a 'Part One' thread.
Also, that was an interesting point made that Drop has a different practical strength to the other gun drugs. And that blasters will notice the optimal loss & almost never be better with a TC than with a web, but perhaps could do with a little more tracking or dps still, as drones are kinda ******** at reliably applying damage depending on target speed, sig, etc.
That and faction TEs are pretty terrible vs T2 regardless of their price. |

P.S. I'm quite sure the game devs are aware that kiting will still be much stronger for outnumbered encounters, in that you'd still get most success from causing your opponents to mis-position out of support range, or you can just leave as you aren't committed to (unlinked) hard tackle range, and this is independant of TE changes.
I really wouldn't mind a direct Machariel and Cynabal bonus nerf/tweak though, along with the obvious needed tier3 BCs mobility/tracking nerf. These are the real ships that push TEs from understandable to broken. |

You tell me, does anyone use them for anything except noobs in lvl3s? I'm aware this is titled a 'Part One' thread. In fact, this may be a buff to railguns, because they have the best base range and lack a lot more tracking than range. Railguns are a lot less sensible to TE nerf than other weapons. But having terrible tracking shouldn't be a good reason why they aren't sensitive to Tracking Enhancer changes.  |
