My questions, as ever looking for good fights, outnumbered and/or unexpected fits to actually be engaged with a chance:
No improved scan res, that all BSs hugely suffer from? Are BSs officially meant to be supported by smaller ships and/or projecting modules, as we are always reminded capital ships rightly should?
Worse sensor strength? Because ECM is a mechanic that would ever get on TQ if proposed now, right? 
These don't use special local rep modules, correct? So all balancing around e.g. LARs will have to take these into account? So you basically won't be able to make ~75% effective fits on ships like the Tempest & Megathon, that are infinitely more engagable than Maelstroms and Hyperions.
Wasn't this the whole case about previously not buffing local tanking in general, that it would mess with PvE fits & isk/hour generation?! Now we get a huge nerf to local tanking setups via the ganglinks nerf, a small counter buff in rep power of modules, but not considering the major potency of combining them with links being the absolute cap use reduction(rather than efficiency), and the cycle time reduction allowing armour setups to get a rep off before exploding.
It was 50:50 about the raw tanking paper values and about the number & size of cap charges needed to practically manually micromanage to keep your ship alive. And to not need to be Slaved/find the fitting to also cram a plate on with undersided guns to not be taken out by a little too much volley damage.
And yet after all that, Marauders, the supposed pve ships, are getting a huge buff to tanking & fighting stupid rats.
Do you ever expect BSs to repeat previous popular actions of camp-busting when they're either these 1-trick pony things, predictable & avoidable Hype/Mael, or everything else that can't come close to these for brawling power?
And given that ABCs +stealth bombers can bring the same weapon systems while kiting, are BSs officially relegated to living in the nullsec world of TiDi sov fights?
Where, incidentally, insured dreads aren't likely to have a problem blapping these stationary pocked-dreads. |
