With this T2 small gangs won't stand a chance against T1 blobs

Command processors could really do with a reduction in CPU fitting requirements in order to make a t3 fitting lots of different types of links viable.

Off-Grid Boosting is Pay To Win in the most crass and blatant form. Pay an extra subscription and you and your buddies get massive performance boosts to your ships and modules.

Pay an extra subscription and you and your buddies get a falcon alt that can make rage that will quake the universe. Just saying.

We are planning to extend the bonuses from the defensive gang links to local capital repair modules.

Dear CCP,

I cant say i like these changes as i believe this always will benefit the larger gangs. The problem with links is the fact they exist.

Please reconsider.

I suggest just deleting links from game completely and reimbursing the SP. That way no one needs whine the other fleet has links, the smaller fleet wont get raped by the gang fielding a mass of logi to protect their command ship.

Everyone is happy.

Thanks.

Let's start with some changes to the warfare link modules themselves:

Warfare links (other than mining links) can no longer be activated inside a starbase forcefield
People can still orbit just outside the forcefield I know, but they will at least have to keep an eye on that character so it's an improvement.

Obviously there won't be a navy version of the mining links, but will there be an Ore version of the mining links with the same increase in bonus as the Navy links?

We are planning to extend the bonuses from the defensive gang links to local capital repair modules.

And finally we're making some significant changes to the availability of mindlink implants:

Adding normal T2 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).

Links at the top lead to the threads for Command Ship and local repair module changes, and we're very interested to hear your feedback on these changes in the thread below.

The four Warfare Specialist skill bonus changed from the current 100% bonus per level (after the first level) to 5% bonus per level.
Mindlink bonus reduced from +50% to +15%
Powergrid need of all warfare links modules decreased by 100.

This is more like what i would like to see and think is much more balanced at least until OGB is removed anyway.
And its much easier to understand how you get the end result on the bonus
15% CS ..15% mindlink... 20% from skills

T1 mindlink - 10%
T2 mindlink -15%
Navy mindlink - 12% bonus to the two racial links

How about null sec claim war`s ? where da booster gonna be? i tell u where! in primary )))))

ogb evening the gap between lower sp toons and higher sp toons.

removing ogb would be stupid ccp would have to fix grids and completely rework t3s so they can have a tank and be ongrid. so remove the need for command processors and lower the fitting requirements for links
