dont use that term it ended last year with bs rebalance. as only tech I ships had tiers. so any pending changes cannot be construde as tiericide.

the term to use now is just ship rebalance.

thanks

Then fix tidi. The problem is tidi, not drone assist. People afk in 6 hour tidi fights. No one sits at their computer for 6 straight hours if they don't have drones deployed.

If alpha is gamebreaking, why is it okay for artillery alpha or dread alpha to break the game (bypass remote assist mechanics) and not sentry alpha?

How is prefiring F1 and ctrl-clicking the top thing out of the broadcast window more engrossing than assisting drones?

Adjust sentry drone damage projection and in particular revisit the mindboggling double down overbuffs to the Gallente drone hulls.

10 year old game mechanics should not be considered a degree of freedom in realizing whatever autistic fever dream of game balance is inspiring some of the recent changes

No matter which side you fall on this issue, the one positive is that CCP waited until the war ended (for all intents and purposes) before announcing the nerf.

Unless it's totally coincidental, I think the restraint in addressing the situation is commendable and both CCP and the CSM should adopt this approach! That if something needs to be addressed, but addressing it in the moment will prejudice an outcome ingame (as in sov warfare), then the better approach is to wait for the end of the situation - or at minimum a significant lull - before changing anything.

Its because with sentries you could get perfect alpha, no other fleet type can do that.

I don't get it. How can this be a move to appease goons while at the same time nerfing the main goon fleet doctrine? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Because its not. Low skilled goon BS drones can still easily fit into another low-skilled doctrine, multiply by 2000 and you have a fleet.

We've seen lots of drone doctrines over the years; four years ago people were flying sentry-domi fleets and it wasn't a problem. Gila fleet, Ishtar fleet, all of them no problem to CCP. But as soon as the wrecking-ball appeared, and the whining reached fever pitch, goon dev's ride in to save the day.

This is only aimed at the only thing goons are scared of and crying about.

Whats next, nerf carriers drone bandwidth? remove sentry drones? What Mittani inspired whine are you going to fold to next CCP?

How about ADDING to the game rather than the continuous folding to one section of the community who's sworn aim is to destroy the game?

When can we expect the drone tracking and optimal implants? Thats right, when Mittens cries about it behind his pay wall.

You getting all bitter towards someone else doesn't help you. You chose to chase an overpowered mechanic.

Use two people for drone assist then?

The idea is to not have ~1000-1250 drones assisted to the same person, and making them go down to having 50 target callers reduces the advantage of drone volleys, etc.

If you need 70 drones, or even 100 drones, having 2 callers instead of 1 is hardly an inconvenience.

How does it feel to have your space repossessed by your masters?

70 drones is by no means the maximum you can see during a HQ site. I used it as an example. So your 'solution' is useless.

it's not even that using more drone bunnies is an inconvenience. it's just that the original post makes no sense. he made special mention of not wanting to affect incursion runners, yet clearly contradicts that with a 50 drone limit.

Specifically, he says that he wants to preserve incursion drone managers. Even with this limit, they're preserved. Even with half the limit, they'd have been preserved. You still have one guy controlling an entire cloud of drones.

you don't because there's still 3/4 of the drones unassigned because he's at the limit of 50 drones...

GǪand that second cloud of drones is controlled by a second guy. The drone managers are still preserved. No amount of narrowmindedness can remove this simple fact.

So yes, yes you do.

I agree that python places much responsibility on the developer and other languages are better suited for that kind of work. I was just pointing out that python isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

http://www.jeffknupp.com/blog/2013/06/30/pythons-hardest-problem-revisited/ has a (in my opinion) great write up of the problem and possible solutions of utilizing multiple cpu cores/processors.

Of course, Eve's codebase is 10 years old and written for Stackless, so adapting to current python versions and making use of improvements will certainly be a hard task.
