I love to hear the reasoning why Rorquals get the shaft since they are used for very similar purposes as JFs. Other than the clone bay. Which literally nobody uses. Seriously, go on TQ and count how many clone bays are used. |

Easy fix: get rid of the drone bonus on the rorq. Increase to 10LY.
Because seriously, who uses it. |

In the past week, from October 2nd, rorquals have been involved in 10 kills on zkillboard.
Obviously, the drone bonus is the reason everyone is flying these goddamn things.
Seriously, does ANYONE there play eve? |

I'm still waiting for an update on why the Rorqual 20% drone bonus is more important than it's daily use, as a mini-jump freighter or combat pos dropper. |

I'm still worried about the view that the drone bonus is more important on the Rorqual than it's jump range.
One thing that I think is overlooked is the fact that newbies lose their pods. A lot. And they can't fly interceptors to get through gate camps and such. I think that the new cloning changes unfairly hurt them.
I wish you could have two sets of rules, one for players under 3 months, another for players over 3 months. This is from their character age, not their account age or their SP. (Account age might be hard to measure, SP is stupid because 800k cyno clones)
Under 3 months, change clone at will to anywhere. Maybe even if they don't have an office there, let them be silly. Let them get around the universe with ease, not like they can fly much more than a BC competently anyway. Maybe you just count rookie corp members under this group, permanently.
After 3 months, they should know better by then, they're restricted to the current location and their home newbie station.
I really would like to see this expanded, since people with jump clones (ie established null secers and mission runners) are unfairly advantaged. But Eve is extremely unfriendly to solo newbies so I understand the nerf. |

Battle Rorquals are not a serious proposition. The drone bonus isn't a danger.
Per zkillboard, here are the last 10ish things involving rorquals.
Rorquals killed by:
bombers and other subcaps
carrier and a bunch of blops
dread, couple battelships, other subcaps
pair of proteuses
dread, carrier, blops, arazu, frigate
dread, 2 blops, bomber
phantasm, 2 proteus
Deimos and a shuttle (??)
Two carriers and a domi
Cruiser fleet with other subcaps
2 battleships, ishtar, harb, munnin, unknown
Rorqual kills:
Small auto cannon battery (28 dudes)
Archon (45)
NAPOC (33)
Archon (42)
NAPOC (23)
CHA (Solo kill!)
Jump Bridge (Nearly solo!)
Capsule (Solo!)
Raptor (Solo!)
Sabre (Solo, done by same dude, HOW?!?)
Velator
SBU (Part of 653)
SBU (Part of 560)
Other than the solo kill of the sabre by the rorqual, I have no idea how one of these would be used in even a roaming fleet. |

Still looking for the reason why the pointless Drone Bonus on a Rorqual is more important than its jump range. |
