Yes indeed. I was just about to post an update.
* Hybrid turret reload time will be 5 seconds. * Hybrid ammo will be 50% smaller (and turret capacity reduced to keep same number of charges) * Blaster damage +5% (except XL turrets) * Railgun tracking +5% (except XL turrets)
..also, Hail falloff penalty will be 25%, not 0%. |

In case anyone missed the post from CCP Tallest:
update (08/11/11): based on player feedback, the following changes will be made to hybrid balancing (and T2 ammo balancing).
* Hybrid turret reload time will be 5 seconds. * Hybrid ammo will be 50% smaller (and turret capacity reduced to keep same number of charges) * Blaster damage +5% (except XL turrets) * Railgun tracking +5% (except XL turrets) * Hail falloff penalty will be 25%, not 0%.
Balancing is an ongoing project that we hope to continue beyond the Crucible expansion and we are reading and appreciate all the feedback. The above changes are based on the feedback Tallest received up to that point and will make it into Crucible. CCP Affinity | Quality Assurance | Team BFF |

That is 8 days old :-) CCP Affinity wrote: Balancing is an ongoing project that we hope to continue beyond the Crucible expansion and we are reading and appreciate all the feedback.
That is a good answer. And if you change "hope to" into "will" that would be a great answer!
I can do so. We're not going to stop balancing. It will be a part of every major release we do. |

I guess theese changes are final then.
All expansions have a cut off point for continuing changes... this allows for it to be tested ;) As Soundwave said.. balancing WILL continue but the changes mentioned are the ones that will make it into this release CCP Affinity | Quality Assurance | Team BFF |

All I can say right now is that balancing is an on-going project and yes.. by that we don't mean, we will drop this and pick it up in 2 years... we mean we are still working on it but every release has a cut off point for what makes it in :)
When Tallest returns he will check this thread out and reply with more details, I just wanted to let everyone know what is making it into Crucible. CCP Affinity | Quality Assurance | Team BFF |

We'll look into hybrids again after this goes out on a basis of what's needed.
We've made the first round of changes, once these go live we'll monitor usage, fleet composition etc. If these changes yield an underwhelming results, we'll continue to tweak them. |

As you may have noticed, I have been afk for the last week or so. I am back at work now and will try to address the concerns that have been expressed while I was away.
As Soundwave and Affinity have explained for me in my absence, the cutoff date for changes that make it into the Crucible expansion has already passed (and had already passed when I went away).
As it turned out, I only had time to do one extra pass on the changes after they hit SISI. These changes (to the changes) were based on your feedback from this thread. There were many other suggestions here that I would love to do, but didn't have enough time to do them properly for this release. In the future, I will make sure that I have more time to make changes based on your feedback. The feedback that you was posted after the cutoff is far from worthless. I've read every single post and written down notes for future reference.
What we have now is a start. After Crucible come out, I will definitely be doing further balancing. Here are some of the things relating to hybrid ships that we will be looking further into in the coming weeks/months:
* Further tweaking of individual ships. * Tech II ammo needs a better look at, especially Null-Scorch-Barrage. * Active tanking vs passive tanking. And by extension, armor tanking vs shield tanking. * Small and Medium Webifier drones. * Give tech I hybrid ammo variations for each range, like projectile ammo. Maybe the same for lasers. * Something to help blaster ships get into range. There are several good suggestions on how to do this; Webifier range bonus, MWD speed bonus, change the armor rig penalty, increase base speed or even a new type of module. We might do some of them, all of them or something completely different.
p.s. I have also updated the OP with the final list of changes. |

We are here and we are reading your feedback.
We will be iterating on our balancing efforts based on the feedback in this and other threads and will release some more balancing in early 2012. |
