<3 hybrid changes.

Clearly I am part of the 1% D: I am the problem. Come out of hiding 99% and make me pay you money for my appreciation of the fantastic hybrid changes.

hybrids are impossible to fix, take them out of the game.

the proposed changes are proving me right.

Yea, blasters are so useless I decided to spend the last year using them almost exclusivly and laughed as ship after ship burned up under my neutron blasters pitifull firepower.

Once you go blaster, you never go back!

I love them! I get irked when I can't track, so I'm excited by the change! Less cap usage = win, especially given the power of capless faction ammo projectiles.

With that ideology all weapon systems other then AC/Arty should be removed then.

What exactly is your vaginal leakage about? Note I don't think you're really leaking, but since you took liberty with the facts (e.g. 99%, I've decided to be just as fluid).

I see what you did there.

On topic, its a step in the right dirction. But boosting winmatar at the same time is not a good idea, and will only prolong the balance battle.

I've always thoguht of autocannons as fast firing, low damage weapons, and blasters as slower firing but higher damage weapons. Both of them should be short-ranged. With AC being capless, what benefit do blasters get to make them balanced? If not capless, then what? They also have crappy range compared to AC. Better tracking is a good start.

Just curious if any devs are reading that dev blog thread and if they actually plan on participating like was stated they would. Becuase as it stands about 99% do not like what was proposed.

Don't think its a fiasco at all. Seems like CCP pretty much nailed a big problem mith large and medium sized blasters - tracking.

Allthough I'm not sure I like the reduced pg and cpu requirements across the board. Such changes feels like very "cheap" fixes. Havent tried it tho so it might not be a huge deal...

Tracking was the show-stopper for blasters. There is still going to be an issue with employment (the whole self scramming thing). Most blaster pilots are over that anyway, you have to know that if anything goes wrong you are going to be in a bad place with a blaster boat.

Maybe I'll actually be a able to sneak a real heavy neut on my Mega without fitting mods, its be nice to undock it to do something other than play with station hugging carriers.

I was hoping these changes would let me fly a dual rep neutron mega

I thought a 20% flat damage boost was applied to blasters and 10% to rails.

Unless I miss-read it.

At 20% my Neutron Brutix is going to be pushing something like 900dps without heat, not bad for a lowely T1 BC.

Its not going to make the diemost anymore desirable but it'll be fun.

99% players think changes are fine and do not post at all (or they do not just care)

Reading comprehension fail, its a trancking speed increase, not a damage stat increase.

Tracking Speed Increase:

All blaster turrets: +20% to Tracking speed

Oh sure, people will use less effective weaponry simply because they like the ship or whatever, in a game you also want to have fun and flying in a ship whose design is especially appealing to you contributes to it.
But as soon as you enter pvp against competent opponents, you lose 9/10 times, and that 1 time you will win only because everybody will sooner or later make mistakes, therefore allowing you a victory.

I know that you like yourself a nano-blastermega. Since armortanked megas are far, far more common, people will underestimate your speed and agility seriously and therefore getting easily into blasterrange.

But the deciding factor is not the quality of your weapons or the ship or even your piloting skills, it is simply information warfare: wrong assumptions will lead to wrong decisions in battle.

Against a competent opponent that allows for the possibility of more unusual fits you are toast.

I am the 1%!
