Did you notice this?
1329. Scourge Fury Heavy Missile
1330. [-|n] increaseSignatureRadiusPassive
1331. [-] signatureRadiusBonus: 5.4
1332.
1333. Scourge Precision Heavy Missile
1334. [-|n] ammoInfluenceShipVelocity
1335. [-] maxVelocityBonus: 0.95
Looks like the penalties for the tech II missiles is going away if I'm reading that right. Drakes just got... smaller.

So most weapons are getting a boost of some sort, most ships are getting agility buffs to make them a little harder to hit, the new BCs look nice and juicy... new Tech II stuffs...
I'll need more time to find something to complain about.

I'd say those new BC have quick and brutal PvP written all over them. These are not the ships mission runners are looking for. I'm sure some will try but will end up salvaging their own wrecks. Based on the stats in the paste I have to agree and I couldn't be happier. I mostly fly BCs in PvP and I couldn't be happier about this. Face, meet Melt. Melt Face. This. I fly mostly Drakes and Canes in PvP, and each BC looks like CCP took each race's best PvP BC, gave it steroids in the high slots, and then set it free. Yes, and no? A Torp Naga should clobber a Drake due to the Drake's large sig size. However, if the Drake pilot decides to fly a cruiser that day, the Torp Naga is going to be almost defenseless. OTOH, getting double webbed by a blaster Talos is going to be bad...
Removing the sig penalties for T2 missiles helps the drake out quite a bit, the question is will it's tank last longer against the torps than the Naga will against the T2 missiles?
When (optimism) these changes get on Sisi...

At some point soon we'll publish a dev blog to tell you what we're thinking and to get feedback from you.
Eventually some version of these stats will also make its way to SiSi for you to test and play around with.
Do you have any clue, any idea, how encouraging it is simply to see these things being tossed about, preliminary or not? Seriously, do you have any idea? It's like Christmas for the imagination.
Thanks, greatly. 
By the way, what does setting the isCapitalSize flag do in game if I may ask?

Ah crap! Completely forgot about that. Thanks much!

It has always been an issue to get enough BS through without collapsing the entrance/exit when moving to reinforce a WH pos.
Of course... the pos guns will rip one apart however where a BS could survive.
I think they actually put some good thought into balancing them to be honest.
