- The mass increase for the Talos and Tornado means that they can no longer be flown through a C1 WH with a 10MN prop mod active. This makes me sad...I liked using Talosi to close wormholes. Would be nice if it was 15mil or under, but I guess I'll just need to switch to another ship :(
- There's still no missile attack BC. Missiles are finally starting to be treated as a first-class option for primary weapon up there with the three types of guns; there needs to be an attack BC that can use missiles. Due to the inherent problems of missiles hitting smaller targets, a missile ABC will by its nature not be as OP against smaller targets as the gun ones currently are. |

This makes me sad...I liked using Talosi to close wormholes.

Either all of them should be able to get in or none of them no?
They can still get into the C1 just fine, they just can't have the 10MN prop mod active when they do it, so they can't be used as variable-mass hole closers anymore. I suspect that's something of a less common use for them, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if that doesn't get factored into the balancing equation.
It *does* mean that you have to deactivate the prop mod before you can get through the WH, which might mean the difference between living and dying if you're trying to make a run for it and have to sit and wait for the cycle to complete before you can go through, though...
Edit for those who might not know what I'm talking about w.r.t. closing holes: Previously at 14.4, they could go through as either 14.4 OR 19.4, which was rather useful since 19.4 is close to the max trip mass for a C1. Oracles/Nagas are the only ABCs that will be able to do that after Odyssey if the Talos/Tornado mass change sticks, and they're not as versatile at close range as the Talos.
I'll probably just switch to HAMDrakes for it, at 14.9/19.9, so I guess that works... |

well done CCP for sending another ship class into unusable-****-category
Er...what?
Yeah, try reading it again.
Locking range didn't change. |

I thought the same. Then I looked again to make sure. He's right. It has changed. -20km across the board.
That said, the lock range is still over 200km, so with long range targeting, you still hit 250km. So i hardly see it as a problem.
No.
Scan resolution went down by 20.
Lock range is unchanged. |
