Stop trying to fix things that are perfectly fine now..

Now you've just ruined lowsec fights, thanks m8.

RIP EVE

To all those going "wah wah wah you always nerf Gallente"

Nerf, nerf, nerf.

The only thing that is happening lately with ship "balancing" is nerfing the **** out of everything ppl. train for.

As a WH lvl 5 Gallente Dread pilot this hurts but I not upset as this nerf was a required for balance.

On string of captial balance do feel that supercapitals need great vulnerabilities to sub capitals to force alliance to support supercaptials with smaller ships or risk massive vulnerability.

At 31km with antimatter and two range scripted TCs it loses 3% of its dps. Hardly crippling.

As much as people don't want to hear it: nerfs reduce power creep in Eve, so by all means nerf away. I'd rather have a ship doing less (damage, speed, tracking, etc.) than to have an OP-of-the-month arms race because everyone wants their ships buffed until all ships are so comical in their stats that it's not even worth playing the game anymore.

Capital Hybrid Turret V is a long skill train dude - And now you are proposing to take away most of my time investment for that skill level?

Edit - since you are taking away most the the bonus for training it to level V, can I has my investment SP back?

Oh stop being a sniveling weasel. Training Cap Hybrid Turret is +5% damage per level, which this change doesn't effect. You still get 5% more damage. The base damage of the turrets themselves hasn't changed.

Try investing in some tracking implants and boosters instead of this very unbecoming public display of indignation.

That's right folks, spend 200mil on implants and hardwires (even if you have something in the slot), and don't forget to take boosters which still haven't been fixed.

Just don't get podded.

lol, not being able to own everything as reliably with dropping dreads ruins low sec pvp? Terrible.

Hello once again everyone. We've got a small package of tweaks to capital weapons to announce, intended to help bring us a little bit closer to balance between the different dreadnoughts.

For the most part you all know the major balance problems with the class, the relative dominance of the Moros and the fact that the Phoenix has extreme difficulty applying damage to moving targets, even a moving carrier. These changes apply directly to the capital blasters, autocannons and pulse lasers, as well as to the siege modules themselves.

These changes are not expected to bring the class into perfect balance, but it should be a step in the right direction and be something we can build upon as we go forward.

X-L Blasters: -15% tracking, -10km optimal, +10km falloff

X-L Autocannons: -10% tracking

X-L Pulses: +6.666% optimal

Citadel missiles: Remove the explosion velocity penalty from siege modules

Let us know what you think!

Oh and maybe fix that shooting a pos shield doesnt require you to lock/shot the pos itself under it .That +20km realy hurts some weapon systems.

Oh great, i just finished Siege 5 for a moros.

Now crosstraining into amarr

CCP hates Gallente, Caldari, Amarr and Minmatar according to the players.

Wormhole PvE will now be done with a Carrier and the Dread will sit in stations and collect dust, like they did for years.

In case anyone is wondering why they are 'balancing' XL weapons.

They're there. Use them.

Considering cap escalations will be MUCH more difficult now, the isk will be less.

Bear in mind that this will also affect everyone's T3s. Your prices will rise as supply dwindles.


Also, we tend to get podded quite a bit (it's the most effective way to remove someone from the fight given it's often in their hole)

While I'm guessing thats somewhat in jest - theres a fair point in there - Eve has always been about playing the long game and far too many changes recently have made a big difference to things people will have spent time working and planning towards. Eventually people may become reluctant to invest too much in working towards a long term goal in Eve (and possibly lose interest in the game) wary of arbitary changes making all their efforts a waste of time before or shortly after getting there. To a certain extent its unavoidable but its something that seems to have been forgotten a little too much of late.
