Because I have not trained the necessary skills for command ships, and T3 boosters will now be laughable, I expect to have my SP returned to me in odyssey 1.1 so I can train something useful. And please, don't tell me that I'm gaining something like "versatility"... If I wanted a half-[donkey]ed information booster, I'd put an alt in a linky myrmidon and call it a day.
No, the current T3 link fits are laughable and should have never existed. If you haven't trained CS V by now, you have only yourself to blame, these changes were announced like a year ago.
Why should CCP refund your own stupidity?

Eva Darke wrote:So, after reading this entire thread it seems like the main points raised in comments are:
- Links are extremely powerful, even with the proposed changes
- Because they're so good, most vets and full-time PvPers have a dedicated link alt
- Nerfing them by any amount is a slap in the face to all those who spent time and money training their alts
- Links don't need fixing because everyone can buy a second account and train a link alt if they want to (WTF?)
Everybody and their mother has a link alt because it can sit in a POS in perfect safety, or in a safespot. T3 OGBs get the nerfbat hardest, which is good for everyone.
Btw links should be targeted modules, like RR and RSebo etc. This is the only way to make flying links an interesting role.

Even better suggestion- you can't warp with active link modules.

Would an icon mess of epic proportions, can you imagine having 9-10 link buddies and trying to follow primaries?  It is a good idea though, but I'd look into the ability to add people to a list similar to a watchlist and then they get boosts whenever they share a grid with the link ship. Would address all my qualms (scaling, easy mode function, vulnerability) with regard to links.
Haven't thought about the icons, but true :D
The watch list functionality is actually quite brilliant and might even help CCP with the coding issue.
I'd personally just want to see the boosts as something a bit more involving than fleet-wide automagic. Alt-ism is a major bane in the game, and all tasks and mechanics should be designed to benefit from real human player interaction instead of alt-tabbed dedicated alts.

Anyone have thoughts on simply making Fleet boost levels dependent on Fleet Size?
Likewise, Rapid Deployment II (7% base) would give very different bonuses based on your fleet size:
Using something like Base Boost * Mindlink Bonus * Hull Bonus * (1 + Number in fleet * Modifier) = Fleet Boost Bonus?
Example: Rapid Deployment, Mindlinked, CS:
5 in fleet: 7 * 1.25 * 1.15 * (1 + 0.015 * 5 ) = 10.82% increase in speed
10 in fleet: 7 * 1.25 * 1.15 * (1 + 0.015 * 10 ) = 11.57% increase in speed
15 in fleet: 7 * 1.25 * 1.15 * (1 + 0.015 * 15 ) = 12.33% increase in speed
20 in fleet: 7 * 1.25 * 1.15 * (1 + 0.015 * 20 ) = 13.08% increase in speed
30 in fleet: 7 * 1.25 * 1.15 * (1 + 0.015 * 30 ) = 14.59% increase in speed
50 in fleet: 7 * 1.25 * 1.15 * (1 + 0.015 * 50 ) = 17.61% increase in speed
75 in fleet: 7 * 1.25 * 1.15 * (1 + 0.015 * 75 ) = 21.38% increase in speed
100 in fleet: 7 * 1.25 * 1.15 * (1 + 0.015 * 100 ) = 25.16% increase in speed
150 in fleet: 7 * 1.25 * 1.15 * (1 + 0.015 * 150 ) = 32.7% increase in speed
200 in fleet: 7 * 1.25 * 1.15 * (1 + 0.015 * 200 ) = 40.25% increase in speed
250 in fleet: 7 * 1.25 * 1.15 * (1 + 0.015 * 250 ) = 47.8% increase in speed
Isn't that exactly bassackwards? Link efficiency should reduce with fleet member count. Frankly the last thing we need is another mechanic favouring numbers.

Very good points about the weapons timer, it should probably be a capsuleer log off timer instead.

We want to deal with several problems connected with command processors. They allow people to fit too many links on an alt gang booster, and they imbalance shield ships compared to armor fits. I like the idea of making them a rig, but there's still a lot of details to figure out so this won't be in 1.1.
Making Command Processors into a rig won't help much, people will still have rigged link ships running excessive link. A T3 could fit three link rigs for four links, a CS could fit two rigs for five links. It doesn't really change anything much from today. Unless, of course, you were to fiddle with the rig calibration to limit the number that could be fitted to one. That would work well, and would probably be a more flexible solution than the easy option of removing Command Processors altogether.
It could cause some fitting issues with CPU, might not be so easy to make a T3 hard to probe.
