This is disappointing. Time to up my media library so i can watch movies while my sentry boat shoots what the FC points at for the next year.

Now that creates a dilemma. What is better: uneducated pretentious idiot with boni or uncivilized barbarian with anything but boni?

We are obviously aware of the conversation around drone assist and this change doesn't really aim to have a massive effect on sentry-doctrines as a whole. Drone assist is a much larger issue and we aren't looking to make any changes to it for 1.1. We would love to do work on drones overall, but for now I can't make any promises about when that will happen or how it will look.

How about nerfing Minmatar T2 base resists as they have a higher base amount?

NO!

The plural of bonus is bonuses

Anyone who tells you otherwise is an uneducated pretentious idiot.

How about also changing how omni's have rather ridiculous bonuses compared to gun tracking mods?, reduce the bonus and make them scripted.

We are going to put a small change in for 1.1:

Dominix's drone tracking and optimal range bonus lowered from 10% per level to 7.5% per level.

This brings the bonus in line with all other damage application bonuses we give, such as turret tracking bonuses or missile explosion velocity/radius bonuses. The Dominix hasn't been oppressively powerful but it is extremely strong and there is no need for the over-allocation with regards to this bonus.

In case some of you think this is a reaction to the way the Domi performed in the alliance tournament, I can tell you that we will never make balance decisions based on that environment. The tournament certainly highlighted the strengths of sentry drones and damps, which are both powerful on TQ as well, but it removed many of their drawbacks and so it is not an effective way to assess balance or power in normal EVE.

or maybe just a common error made by people coming from countries where "Boni" is the more educated plural and "Bonusse" is just the common version used by uneducated l33t h@ckzzor kiddies or slumfolks. Yes Boni is still not correct in english but preached with cane at less anglocentric places. dear ask in your own TS, half your alliance would say Boni.

If I could place a bounty on you for this awful post, I would.

yeah i saw this comming after the ishtar...

question though will you also be removing the 8th low slot from the mega?

as its become FOTM too.

perhaps a Polish pass of all BS would be a good idea.

what about drone assist mechanics?

These forums are anglocentric.

I kind a sorta quite like the aesthetic of the Domi

Did I hear someone asking for a Polish pass?

These forums are anglocentric.

Thread is now pluralchat.

To contribute, Dominix -> Dominices?

CCP Rise you can probably lock the thread by this point as it has gone off topic and no one has really opposed the decision.

It almost seems like the navy dominix should get the drone tracking+optimal bonus @ the old 10%, and the normal dominix gets the gun bonus like the vexor. Maybe remove a high on the navy domi and give it another mid/low to specialize into the drone role.

Then, the dominix is in line with the vexor, and the navy vexor leads to the navy domi (and the ishtar is a specialization kind of like a zealot to a navy issue omen).
