Hello everyone!
I have a fairly simple tweak to bring forward today, a straightforward improvement in the rate of fire of all Nosferatu modules. We're looking to decrease the duration attribute of all NOS modules by 16.66%, therefore increasing their cap drain over time by 20%. This will serve to improve NOS for all ships, and will pair especially well with the new Blood Raider ship line.
The affected stats are (sorry about the formatting, but if you copy and paste the text into a spreadsheet it should format correctly):

With improvements to NOS, are we going to see enhancements to batteries? I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week. |

Though I would have liked my old NOS back, this sounds good.
Oh and while you are at it, could you please increase the range of the small NOS a tad and decrease the powergrid use for them?
That would be awesome. signature |

I told you that last summer's Nos mechanic change would fail and something like this would be necessary. 
But a blanket change like this still doesn't address the vast gap in use and utility of different-sized Nos. You're boosting the small Nos that arguably doesn't really need fixing, while leaving the unused heavy Nos unfixed. You need size-specific fixes. |

Changing the ROF of small Nos to 2.5 s is a nice idea, since it will mesh will with the 5 s cycle of tackle mods. Similarly, the med Nos cycle of 5 s will also mesh well.
But what of heavy Nos? It sucks too little to be useful to battleships, with their disproportionately greater cap needs and greater injection rates from heavy injectors, while the 10 s cycle doesn't seem to be synchronised with anything much. It's too hard to fit and it's utterly unreliable in combat, since it only works on targets with a lower absolute cap pool, making a neut a better choice in virtually all situations.
You won't have fixed Nos without fixing heavy Nos. |

Thank you. This is badly needed to make the ash less dependent on remote cap. I imagine an ash, with the same stats and these nos changes, would b able to cap drain enough to disrupt a cap transferring logi, while maintaining decent cap life for itself. I want to see logi appear on killmails! (by just repping)-á See CSM "reasonable things" |

If this isn't an April fools joke, I think it will be an interesting change. For the better? Only time will tell. I foresee quite a bit more usage of these types of modules now. |

If you are using the suggestion i made to you at the last player meet as a 1. april joke i will be very sad..
If not, NOS needed more ROF, better anti neut. BYDI recruitment closed-ish |

This is.... Fiendish.
See, if this was a 100% bonus or something like that, it would be obvious that it's an April fools. Instead it's a reasonable buff. But it could still be a prank!
My interpretation is that the actual April fool prank is releasing it on April first and sowing confusion. A meta prank, if you will  |

NOS are still too difficult too fit on most ships that would actually benefit from using them..... Tech 3's need to be multi role ships not cruiser hulls with battleship tank and insane resists ABC's are clearly T2 in all but name.. remove drone assist mechanic. Nerf web strength ..... module tiercide FTW role based instead of tiers please. |

if you're looking at the stats on nos, surely you can see that they currently drain half the cap/sec of an easier to fit and more generally useful neut? it kind of sucks that this is the counter to neuts, and you need two of them to counter a single neut.
nos should probably drain the same cap/sec as a neut, and imo they should be pretty easy to fit, since they're just a cap defence module. trying to run a rep off one is pretty much just a joke, even if you buff them.
so yeah, buff is good, but why by such a tiny amount? |

I might have altered this
You're totaly dismissing the fact you have to use cap to run a neut
Target A & B both have 100 cap Target A neuts B for 45 cap it costs him 33,75 (all 5) to do so A has 66,25 Cap left B has 55 cap left Target B Nos A for +8 cap it cost him -8 A has 58,25 cap left B has 63 cap left
Unless you have a ship bonused for neuting, a single NOS will be a perfecly good defense against one neut. Now MAYBE your enemy has fitted for neuting and will be able to inject cap somehow and then it's not any more a single neut, but a ship dedicating several of his slots to apply ewar.
Edit : i used a T1 small energy neut & T1 small nos for these numbers |
