At the moment, all drones have the same shieldRechargeRate stat. All the way from Acolytes to Mantis'.
This was not an intended pattern and since the balance effects of fighter bombers sporting battlecruiser level passive tanks (mainly resistance to smartbombs and non-coordinated bombs) are negative we're going ahead and giving each size of drone a different shield recharge time just as we do with ships.
Like with ships, the larger drones get better hp/s but the difference will now be much smaller. Light and medium drones are getting buffed, heavies staying the same, sentries through to fighter bombers nerfed.
This stat affects the time it takes the shields to regenerate passively from 0 to full. Lower is better.
At the moment every drone has a recharge time of 250s, post patch it will be:
Light - 125s
Medium - 200s
Heavy - 250s
Sentry - 400s
Fighter - 500s
Fighter Bomber - 750s
This change will be on SISI for your testing shortly. presuming these are T1 values - what about T2 heavies through sentries? will faction and T2 have superior regen? and Fozzie, since you are messing with drones when will the damage multiple between amarr and minmatar drones be correctly sorted compared to the order of their base speeds?
still think , instead of doign that they should make amarr droens have damae damage as gallente, but EM and make caldari drone same damage than minmatar but kin.

WP CCP ... how much of their RMT did they pomise you? A very substantial amount. CCP Fozzie gets an extra cut.
Dotn beleive they change things intentionally to helpa side. But given the clear advantage to one side on these changes, woudl be wise of them to delay them. Even if not with will to, these changes are aheavy deus ex machina intervention of CCP in the war and should be delayed at least 1 monht so that all parts can prepare and adjust.

If you go through with these changes I would seriously suggest you to make them cheaper by lowering the build requirements and/or give them more hitpoints. Doesn't make any difference since you can't pack a lot of them in a super anyway. CCP literally has no idea how their game works or they are RMT supporters. No other way.
By DEFINITION they are RMT . They CHARGE REAL MONEY FOR EVE! THat is THEIR WORK :P

Maybe it's just because I haven't been as active in fleets recently, but I don't recall anybody using fighters or fighter-bombers. Certainly not extensively. And even if they were, the shield regen has such a minor effect in practice. If your fighters or fighter-bombers are going to die, they'll probably die with or without the regen.
Ther is an implication that your opponents have superiority on SuperCarriers and they are way more pront to use them. Not to bring up the validity or not of this statement here, but taking this premisse as true (and sicen most of eve takes as true, seems to be a good start) it hurts your enemies more than hurts you. CFC has subcapital superiority and on general notes the whoel set of changes makes supercapitals weaker while subcapitals stronger.
Your side has not used much SC, but your enemy has (more earlier in the war, less recently, but still clear disparity).
As I said, I do not believe its intetional of CCP to affect the war, but just stating that it will leave such impression.

I look forward to seeing it.
They will fire rainbows.

They're getting a tracking nerf, a range nerf AND a shield nerf??? Come on what's next they run out of ammo after a minute so you have to scoop and redeploy do they can "reload"? Look at the author of this disaster, then look at his past history of game mechanics he has wrecked. This obliteration of sentries is right in line with everything else he has done. Sentry drones are overpowered as ****. The tracking of medium guns with the damage of large guns all that can be put onto some cruiser hulls. Your tears are hilarious. What game mechanics has he "wrecked"? So far it seems hes hit things with the nerfbat that needed to be nerfed.
That is a complete exageration. They track way worse than medium guns (unless you are thinking medium arties) . A cuiser orbiting close can avoid 100% of the damage ( I know.. i do it all the time)
They track as SHORT RANGE LARGE GUNS, but with long ranges... still high, but not as some people state.
