So? That's still 3% LESS not MORE, so a rokh will rep less than a maelstrom, yet the rokh gets nerfed?
Remember that a mael is much more popular in general and more powerful dps wise (with higer aplha to boot) than a rokh, even with the current staus quo, why do you ignore this?
And? No one passive/buffer tanks a rokh! Irrelevant point. Edit: Excluding huge blob fest fleets of course, and we all know that is the only type of pvp amirite? [/sarcasm]
No other ship skill bonus gets a stacking penalty either.
Shield/armour mods have stacking penalties, damage mods have stacking penalties. It's uniform across the board.
This point is also moot.
And so we come to the real reason you're nerfing the rokh and abbadon: RR.
Hint: don't nerf the ships, nerf the mods, the ships are fine in every other aspect!
I'll use an analogy I used earlier: you're blaming the bread for being burnt by the toaster.
EVEN CONSIDERING THIS.
The rokh was never overpowered, it's actually a poor RR platform (no spare high slot).
How is it a problem if no one ever complained? No RR changes are happening in this expansion so how why is this change needed now, why did you change something that no one asked for or wanted??
The rokh will still be useful as a fleet BS yes, but it has always been only marginal in other roles. This change makes that worse. The maelstrom is now much, much better.
These changes were supposed to bring versatility to the neglected caldari BS's but you NERFED a ship that did not need to be nerfed! Skrew the blanket changes, assess each ship individually, not just a lazy one size fits all change to 4% for everything!

Worst. Plan. Ever. 0/10.

Great, so you are thinking of applying a blanket change?
If so: F*CKING LAZY.
Assess each ship individually! Not together! Most of those ships were already balanced/under powered, you must reconsider!
I really like that you and CCP Rise are making some big changes and have a passion for this game, but this is a mistake and no one wants it. I know you guys can do much better!
Edit:
Alse, regarding your "If you don't like it too bad, just talk to the CSM lol!"
Well that is the biggest f*cking cop out I've ever seen. Zero Accountability to this huge nerf that hits 44 balanced/under powered ships.
It's like the speed nerf of years ago all over again (except no one wants this nerf).
Bad. Bad. F*cking bad.
