As for the "move mining links out of POS shields" too. This would be alright, as long as the rorqual can cloak while sieged. Put it on grid, 200 km's off the mining operation, so it can cloak up the moment a hostile enters system!
It would be easier to just let the Rorqual give bonused mining bonuses without needing to deploy.

Hopefully they will be moved to being ongrid still

hell yeah!!!!
 What do you think, sir, Navy Links will be better because they Faction Stuff? Rofl, don't even dream about, i bet we will get the overpriced old stuff renamed, just like they did to battlecruisers, and this all after the shitload of imbalance hypochrisy.

Adding normal mindlinks (including mining mindlinks) to the Concord LP store for 20,000 Concord LP and 20m isk (~60-80m final product sale price).
Adding Navy Mindlinks with the 25% bonus to two different disciplines at once (matching racial command ship bonuses) to the normal racial LP stores at 150,000 LP and 50m isk (~200m isk final product sale price).

This plus the eventual removal of OGB puts links in a very good spot, not OP but not so underwhelming they are useless.

Our current mind links;
Information Warfare Mindlink
+50% to the strength of information warfare links.
Replaces the bonus from information warfare with a fixed 15% bonus to targeting range.
I know that this is being reduced to +25% but will the 15% fixed rate to the warfare skill stay?
Will the navy versions give to both warfare skills and links?

Yeah, looking at those numbers side by side makes me think T3 boosters did not get hit hard enough, you can still make a strong OGB with covert cloak and interdiction nullifier.

I have to agree with whoever suggested that command processors be turned into rigs.
That would give:
Command ships 5 links
T3 4 links
Battle cruisers 4 links
I don't think there would be a need for a penalty for them as they are a very specific module.

I highly disagree with your opinion, think how long sklling is needed to get, 1 Fleet Commander at V, 5 Wing Commander at V and 25 Squadleaders to V and have Boosters with the skills for Warefare Links... its a !!Year!!
I've got 4 characters with really solid leadership skills and I'm totally ok with CCP deleting all the leadership skills and not even reimbursing me. At the absolute minimum, gang links are far too powerful and even the nerf that is being discussed isn't nearly powerful enough. -Liang I think your full of ****. Put your api info in your next post so we can verify your not lying through your teeth. No one likes getting their skills nerfed. Especially to a group of skills that have only one specific use. Whats the name of your CCP alt?
You should really know who you are talking to before you try to call someone out.
Links are powerful, they should be on-grid only anything of any strength whilst off grid is OP.

How about just delete wing command and fleet command from the game.
Many people don't like that one ship can effect so many ships, so make it so that a blob has to bring 25 boosting ships if they want to boost 250 members.

That means you will have to pick and chose what squadrons will get what kind of boosts.
With how powerful links are both on and off grid, and command ships boost 2 types of links it is a fair trade.

Adding a new low-slot version of the Command proc (we can't do single modules that go into multiple different types of slots) is an option we are considering, yes. is that whilst still allowing CS and T3 too have as many links as you can fit .. rather than setting a hard limit of 3 each? and the command processor could be aimed at bc's/navy bc's? There are a number of options we're considering. ATM my favourite is making Command Procs a rig.
I like this option too, it allows t1 and (potentially) t3 ships to fit 4 links while leaving command ships with the greater 5 links.

have you thought about adding T1 mindlinks? and Navy warfare links? and how is Navy and T2 mindlinks having the same 25% making sense?
Navy mindlinks have 2 25% bonuses, not one like the t2 links

Mara Maken wrote:Fozzie:
Please check your math, it looks like the "max bonus per link with all modifiers" is assuming 50% mindlink bonus. Am I missing something? Is my math fudged?
Your math is fudged;
All defensive (Siege and Armored) links:
T1: 4.8%
T2: 6%
Max bonus per link with all modifiers: 25.9%
Former max bonus: 35%
T2 6 * 1.5 (Warfare Link Specialist) * 1.25 (mindlink) * 1.15 (Command ship) * 2 (Warfare Specialist Skill) = 25.9

CCP Fozzie,
I know it is not quite on topic, but it does relate, will you (eventually) be adding any other ways to get CONCORD LPs or will we be stuck running Incursions for them?

There are only medium mining rigs, it would be along the same lines.

I know a LOT of FW guys have boosters (me including) and 90% of all the fights are INSIDE gated complexes that only allow frigates, dessies and cruisers.....
How are we supposed to get our command ships in there?
I don't think it's a bad thing if complexes that only allow frigates/dessies/cruisers will stop allowing these ships to be significantly stronger as a result of off grid boosts. I do think it is a bad thing. A lot of people have put a lot of isk, time and real money into those boosting characters and now they become useless? .
The funny thing is, they are not useless, they still boost, and can boost almost as well as they could before.

Yes, but the overall performance of mining links will be the same or decimal points better.

They are changing the base strength of the links.

Of course the lack of command ships will affect everyone equally, so no-one will have cause to complain, unless they used to be pirates who enjoyed trolling FW folk while they went about their daily business of racking up LPs.
Reasonable?
So you think its reasonable that I trained an alt for over a year, paying subscription for it and paying billions of isk for training and ships, and now I cant use it for what it was intended for? I bet you would talk differently if YOU where the one that invested all that into a boosting char.
You gained the benefit of the boosting character while it could OGB, you cans still gain benefit from it for a while longer, but yes it is reasonable.
