This is literally not even the same issue, aside from all the sperg that is about to flow into this thread.

Small changes in range at short distances have huge impacts because of the range of points.

Also fozzie, on the PL AT teams, how many ships used even a single TE?

I want to reiterate that CCP really can't mention a TE change without talking about how terrible medium railguns are & that they should be buffed, in damage applied as well as fitting.
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.

We're not changing the relative strength of faction TEs vs T2 at all. Faction retains its tracking and fittings advantage, and if the faction TEs were worth the price premium over T2 for your purposes before they will continue to be worth the price premium.

With Blasters hurting for range as it is are CCP sure it's a good idea to further damage Gallente ships, which already suffer drawbacks just to nerf Minmatar superiority?

Perhaps with weapon damage upgrades being Race specific, we could have race-specific Tracking Enhancers each with their own varying buffs aswell?

One more thing; I find the coincidence of NPC tracking disruption being OP, combined with even less effective TE modules, to be the death knell to turreted mission runners that have been struggling to cope with Sansha rats.

The buckets of tears in the forums have been overwhelming since the NPC change, after this, the tears will become a tidal wave.

I think this is going to hurt Gallente blaster boats more than it is Minmatar and it's not so long since they were finally made useable, please consider increasing the range of blasters if you're going to go ahead with this CCP.

If your fighting at 0, say in scram & Webb range to be doing affective damage, theres no way to disengage say if your off gate. Unless your ****** fit with stabs or possibly AB fit and able to burn out. The more powerful ship or better counter fit ship will always win. You will not have the ability granted to kiting ships to disengagde by either burning away, or causing the hostile to lose point by pulsing MWD on cross axis so they burn out of range & lose point, allowing you to warp out. There's little skill in fighting at 0 (scram/Webb) range, nerfing TEs kiting ability, wich is an art and skill its self would be yet another mistake by CCP, and a great loss as far as skill goes for the game.
There is counters to kiting ships, & as far as minnie ships go, they have already been nerfed enough, dont ruin it by overstepping a reasonable current mark & success. This proposed change to TEs needs to be scrapped. All it would do is subject eve to yet a other nerf of making the game ever easier, this does not inspire anybody to become better within tactics and situational awareness, it only acts to dumb it down, even giving more reason to blob, and there should be no further reason given to blobbing WHAT SO EVER. Should be promoting skill and fun gfs instead.
Sometimes it becomes very apparent CCP are out of touch with the game and its tactics, this is as good as any example.
A resounding NO to TE nerf from me.

After sifting through the turd of many prior posts over the last couple of pages. This is more of less spot on.
