So Machariel is killing EVE pvp? Alright. |

Hm, care to support these your words by any examples? As far as I understand the main problem of railguns isn't reach, but tracking. Which said TE nerf won't help to. |

Obviously many of you seem frustrated that X Y or Z ship that used shields and TEs is getting nerfed, how many ships that don't use TEs are picking up that slack to punish you for this change? HAM caracals maybe? Not drakes right because they just got a big change as well...
I'm genuinely asking because the only space I see being created is for armor based ships that already needed the lows for their tanks - and I don't see those ships becoming stronger than skirmishers based on this change. Am I wrong?
People will -always- criticise changes that nerf their playstyle. Many less sophisticated players think -all- nerfs are wrong.
See: every change ever. The nano nerfs, the dual prop nerf, the original missile nerf, the ASB nerf etc etc etc |

And this is a problem because people are fielding huge Mach PvP fleets and owning everything right? Nerfing TEs because of the Mach or the Mach itself is a nerf to PvE only and nothing should be nerfed to make PvE a longer and more boring grind than it already is.
If it is any consolation (unlikely), there were several collateral casualties of the HM nerf over and above the drake/tengu. The suggestions to address the hulls directly were rebuffed.
They're taking a mod first/hull second approach in the main from what I can tell. |

Nerf TE is a terrible idea! It is mean nerf ALL amarr ships. Amarr ships doesn't have med slots for tracking computers, because they need MVD, point (scramble or tracking disruptor) and cap booster. Also Amarr ships has huge capacitor usage, only EM and thermic damage, terrible bonus to capacitor use on 50% ships, terrible armor tank. And now you wand kill Amarr's optimal (that is not good). May be TE has overstate bonus to falloff but why are you going to kill optimal??? |

It might affect all races equally (it doesn't) but it does not affect all ships equally. There's more to balance than that. |

minmatar actually will get a huge buff out of this because their upper echelon options like vagas, lokis, and sleipnirs all have a racial falloff bonus' on their ships. so, things that dont have it will suck but most folks who fly minmatar cruisers will probably wind up in those three minmatar ships at some point anyways and now they most definatly will if these changes go through
tldr minmatar are hit least by nerfing te's in this fashion. |

I think the problem is specific ship fits/doctrines from each are affected in different degrees rather than it necessarily badly effecting one race as a whole. This is why I'm not a fan of the change now after having been these stats for so long as it is very varied in its impact infact I'm very dubious of a change that reduces a T2 module back to the stats of the origial meta0 version unless its in response to a major game breaking problem.

Good sir. What does pub lord mean? I hope you do not use me as an example. I fear I may be sad if so
Also, I have existed in this game with the aforementioned as a principle. Predators often try to differentiate from thier prey.
Hmm. I've been told it's the same for child molesters. Honestly, though. I often hear that term thrown around by terribubbles on a consistent basis. Guess I'm not young anymore v0v

This glitch I've personally experienced twice while in a legion in epic arc missions, the first time the GMs admitted there was an issue and reimbursed me, the second time they refused to admit any such thing. Nice to see public response that this glitch does exist! |

Since we are on the nerf train to cater to the large fleets why donGÇÖt we just nerf damage projection as a whole and force fleets to all fight at 0 because no one enjoys fighting against the odds and we all know nano pvp is completely useless. Eve doesnGÇÖt need tactics. LetGÇÖs make it 10km easier for massive blobs to hit F1 and call it skill. |

well 90% of the game likes the nerf because they are crying that the other 10% can kite and kill a fleet twice their numbers. I mean this ability to win with skill over brawn is bad we should nerf all dps to 1 and tanks up to 100k so we have to deploy Test Alliance tactics... look a drake cyno look inta time dilation! |

SKILL? I'm not to sure about that. I've been able to teach a new character the basics of kiting and be able to use said tactic in fleets.
Solo I'm able to handle 3 - 7 targets at once, at ranges between 14 - 20,000m and move in, threw and around them fairly well. Most ingame are not capable of that. Even those I know to be really good. In fact. I know of only one other pilot in the Genos who has shown the ability to do that, but he's not playing at the moment.
Most who employ the general skirmishing tactic take advantage of the fact that 98% of the pilots ingame are just terribubble. In fact the contrast is VAST. Still. I've seen large fleets in TEST kite fairly well.
The tactic is now ubiquitous. Those who master it are few though, but it DOESNT MATTER.
So, this "skill" is easly learned and employed in a fleet of atleast 2 and it becomes easier the larger the fleet scales. Like most things that tend to reach da level of BLOB.
In the past the difference between BLOBS were HUGE. Now everyone has come up. Everyone is employing L33T tactics at varying degrees of success. Most of them cant use said tactics solo very well, but properly lead by a compotent fleet commander. NUbs can fight outnumbered like pros in those fleets.

Lelob wrote:rsb nerf is nice
nerfing te's though is not a good change. This will make almost any gang shield ship severely nerfed, given that almost all of them rely on te's to have any hope to work properly. This is not a change that I would look forward to or would offer a particularly good fix to anything really. The reason that it has always traditionally been acceptale that shield ships have greater range via te's is because they have less tank and less ewar. This just makes it so that when you role in armor you will not be out-kited by faster, less tankier ships and those ships will have to come and fight within your optimals. It just does not make sense why anyone would willingly want to fly shield ships after the heavy bonuses/nerfs that they have been getting.
They recently got t2 plates Then armour honeycombing made them far less slow Now they will be able to operate in the same general range as shield ships, but with the bonus of having more tank, stronger force multipliers, (loki/proteus vs huggin/lachesis), and more midslots potentially for ewar such as td's and damps
This will also be a pretty siable buff for td's given the greatly shortened range this will give shield ships.
This really is a bad, bad idea.
thats what keep ppl paying subscribers... every once in a while there are incoming failbalance tries pushing pilots to train other hulls, guns, upgrades, tanks, ...
thats the sole reason. TEs is the basic element of shield nano gangs. the kind of gamestyle that makes fighting outnumbered possible. without those, or with these incoming nerfes as well, ccp prevents ppl from being able to fight outnumbered wihtout an extreme added risk of losing everything while trying to fight the blob.
its like it is. if u lack range and speed, u have to go close, if u go close u will get webbed (out to 30-40k in fleets) and then u will just die to the blob.
so, fozzie, is this what u want? force ppl to form blobs and the bigger blob always wins?
god, get into the game and get a clue about whats up out there. |

What? I could do a dissertation length document on why they're better and ways to change armor ships to compensate. I can't believe you actually asked that. As someone who has flown a variety of hulls (caldari, amarr, and minnie) with either shield or amor tank on them (yes, that includes armor on cald and shield on amarr) I can say that neither is better then the other overall, it's more a matter of what you intend to use the ship for that dictates which version of a tank is better for it. |
