But heh, I guess no one cares about the small guys when you run a business, as they don't bring in so much revenue.
I actually thought when you first released these "ideas" that you were all high. Um, you do know the definition of "solo" don't you? Cause I'm thinking you don't right now. What, you think Solo is buzzing around highsec in an incursus? I think you need to start getting real, especially if you actually think RvB is :goodpvp: because let me enlighten you: it isn't. Nope, I think buzzing around lowsec is. Until you get to Kourm. or similar and run into 40km point Condors. Just pathetic. ..this confirms everything for me lol
Hehe, yeah well you're getting nerfed and I'm not so there Hooray, I'm l33t! -á(Kil2: "The higher their ship losses...the better they're going to be.") |

Armor and web nerfs are going to hit wormhole groups pretty hard. Capital escalations are already fairly difficult -- nerfing armor resistances and rep amounts is going to make them even harder, and going with a Damnation for max armor boosts means that a Loki is only going to be able to web to ~40km (maybe less, I haven't run the numbers yet).
Have you considered maybe giving a bonus to warfare links in wormholes? It seems like these changes were designed without wspace in mind, and I'm a big fan of them for kspace PVP and PVE, but I think some attention needs to be paid to wspace implications. |

I've said it more than a few times when people demand ON-GRID ONLY gang links but here I go again.
That will not have the effect you would like.
You will not have T3 gang boosters on grid with you, if they are they will be at 200km with a 100mn afterburner and aligned out. If they are using a Command ship, they will be heavily tanked and only at 0 fighting you alongside other ships if they are confident it can tank you. This also means they are not only providing links but DPS. Fun for you. If it's a "solo pvper" he knows you will run away if he's in a t1 cruiser with on grid links, so he will now switch his links to a falcon/curse/arazu/logi. Even more fun for you.
I'd personally rather fight one uber ship with disruptable gang bonsues than 2 ships with ewar or more dps. |

Does this imply, that at some later date when the fleet boost background mechanics are re-written, we can expect to see fleet booster ships to be moved to "on-grid"? |

Another way to prevent some of the risk-reducing tactics used to protect link alts would be to have them inherit the aggression/suspect/criminal/weapons flags of the people they're boosting, in the same way that logistics pilots do. That'd prevent people from just keeping their linkships parked on a gate or a station undock where they can contribute to a fight but still instantly get to safety if threatened. |

I have not much complains on the ship shanges or the out of pos bosting shanges.
My consern is more about havint implants/items easybly acceble and cheaper to get.
I dislike that it becomes a grind incutions to get all items game.
long work for special epic/soryline misson for good lot may soon not serve a purpus if you can just do incurtion grinding to get evertying you need cheaply and safely.
I would want to see a more hard to get items that you need to get as drop not just get evertying you need from LP stores.
Just my point of view, also seeding easy to get items into a working market will make it unstable and some items may even disepear from the market becorse there to easy to get from LP stores.

You know, you could use more than one fleet boosting ship... A Damnation for Info & Armor, and a Claymore for skirmish and siege. Additional, with the Navy Mindlinks, you'll get the max boosts on all 12 links!!!! Then you get your bonused webs, bonused paints, bonused Armor, and bonused shields to boot!

I guess the thing is that I can't envision a way to make bonus characters "fun" if they were on-grid. As it is every bonus character in the game is someone's alt so they are presumably having fun doing something else. Personally I wouldn't mind bonus ships being removed completely, but unless you actually have a way to make them enjoyable to fly I wouldn't force them on-grid. |

Hey, this is a good start. I'd still say the bonuses are a bit large compared to the scale on which the rest of the game operates, though.
Fozzie, does CCP have any plans to allow ganglinks on ships other than battlecruiser/tech 3 hulls? |

Get rid of target painting as the racial ewar for (make it a universal skill) and give them an ewar that degrades link bonuses. The further out the booster is the more of a percentage the gang loses. Should hinder off grid boosting and force boosters closer to e fight. The ewar would have to do something else I guess to be relevant in non boosted gangs but it would be something minor. |

The powergrid reduction is a nice start but still too little for most T1 bc's to fit them without pg implants and rigs.
some of the potential numbers still seem a little excessive 50% .. 35%
Mindlink implants are still far too high at 25% no other implant in the game comes close to this in anyway .. and you are making them cheaper and more readily available by the sounds of it. especially with OGB still available..
Also disappointed that the Proteus doesn't get access to siege warfare gallente shield tank too you know..
I would certainly prefer more of the strength of the bonus coming from the module rather than implants to simplify where the bonuses is coming from as it can be hard to work out how a link goes from 9% to 50% ...seriously you need to simplify the calculations Tech 3's need to be multi role ships not cruiser hulls with battleship tank and insane resists ABC's are clearly T2 in all but name AB's need a buff-á like a big mass reduction ... module tiercide FTW role based instead of tiers please. |

Has this been considered? It has been heavily considered and a similar idea (using sensor strength instead of sig radius) was actually a part of one version of this proposal. However we've decided to wait and see how these changes work out before doing something that could potentially make playing ongrid with these ships worse in the name of making offgrid use even worser. (I know it's not a word but it should be.)
Maybe another good reason to have a distinct Probeabilitudity attribute, separating it from signature and sensor strength.
I too enjoy making up words. :)

Waah! I bought my alt a Mining Foreman Mindlink and now I want a refund!
Just kidding. I paid my early adoption tax, and I accept that I'm stuck with it, but it's nice that there'll now be a source for the mindlinks aside from random drops.
Wonder how hard it would be, programming-wise, for a fleet booster to get tagged with aggression flags for any ship it's boosting? (IE: fleet boosters are treated as commanders, so they bear responsibility for anything their fleetmates do, so if an out-of-corp Damnation is boosting someone who does something that would give the Damnation a suspect flag or get the Damnation CONCORDed if it did it itself...)

The reduction in command bonuses is really disappointing. I was thinking you'd be sensible and cut them by 1/2 to 2/3. This is way too much for a ship to give to an entire fleet, the bonuses should be tiny. |

When OGB'ers are moved to On grid, I think the current boost levels are reasonable! Until then, please nerf them a bit more! |
