CCP Fozzie wrote:Hey everyone, we have a few small changes to announce for the Summer release. Both are follow up changes to help improve the balance around warp speed upgrades.
GÇó We're going to change warp speed rigs to make them stacking penalized with each other.
GÇó We're increasing the set bonus provided by Ascendancy Omegas to 70% for the HG and 35% for the LG. This makes them a little bit better than the WD-618s.
After mulling this around for a bit, the first isn't a terribly bad idea since really only the third rig takes a hit. I can fully endorse the second - so overall I approve. Is there any outside possibility of introducing a lot-slot warp speed module that would help offset the abysmal speed of battleships? One that would perhaps extend a +warp speed and -warp speed capacitor use? Thanks.

This isn't a huge nerf, as T2 ships won't notice any different and on all others the third rig is only going to take an approximate 40% hit. What's more important is the other issue that was brought-up: that large missiles conflict with either one of the WS or the Ascendancy Omega implants.

I'll reiterate what I suggested earlierGǪ A low-slot passive module that increases warp speed and decreases warp capacitor use. Call it a "Warp Speed Enhancer" that provides a +20% warp speed bonus and -10% warp drive capacitor reduction (stacking penalized, of course). The idea being is that this module could be combined with a mobile depot for a "travel fit". Then the proposed changes to hyperspacial rigs can be somewhat offset. As a low-slot module, this would be most beneficial to larger vessels like cruisers, battlecruisers and battleships.

Mournful Conciousness wrote:"Warp Speed Enhancer" sounds a bit too much like the recent CCP nonsense naming trend. Why not "Ancillary Warp Drive"?
Sure, I just used the term so there would be some frame of reference. As a passive module, something like "Warp Drive Injector" or "Warp Core Injector" might be better than ancillary (which implies an active module that utilizes capacitor and a consumable).

Look at the plus sideGǪ While you wait for the jump to complete you can watch your dog run for miles and miles...

Last week: "We're going to change warp speed rigs to make them stacking penalized with each other."
FanFest: "We're going to allow freighters and jump freighters to use rigs."
The question begs to be asked if this isn't being implemented solely to neuter freighters and jump freighters to some extent.

How will this work with respect to the new warp speed enhancement modules in Kronos (0.2, 0.25 and 0.3 AU/s)? Will these be stacking penalized with hyperspacial rigs, with each other, not at all - or some combination thereof? Inquiring minds would like to know...
