Seems a bit conflicted. The tractor bonus means they do the mission job best at <48km, but it seems they're being encouraged to be snipers now. Other than the bastion module and DLAs, what good are the utility highs at long range?
Also, not sure why the EHP and cap regen nerf were needed? (Looking at the Vargur specifically.) |

Even without it, Kronos and Paladin new falloff and optimal range bonuses are going to be useful 100% of the time, instead of extreme close range like a web bonus. |

That Seems Legit wrote:So yeah. That tractor range bonus is completely useless. Either increase it by 100% (at least) or get rid of it. I kinda thought so at first, too, but it gives you a choice. You can avail yourself of the MJD and projection improvements to snipe, or you can jump into the fray and do the classic shoot-and-salvage thing with the bolstered tankability. The projection still helps short-range weapons within tractor range.
Not sure what a sniper would do with the utility highs, though. |

At first I wasn't too bothered about the drone nerf on these, as I mostly just use salvage drones, and rarely I'll pull out light combat drones, so 50m3 is all I really need. But yeah, in the era of drones pulling more aggro in PvE, I think at least the bay being doubled so that losses can be replaced is pretty important. |

Since you're increasing damage projection by 25%, maybe it's fair to increase tractor projection (100% -> 150%) to match? Also, salvage drones are a great match with Marauders. How about giving speed and/or cycle time bonuses for them? (Another good reason to double drone bays, as well.) |
