Those goals lead us to the following major changes:
Combat Recons will now be permanently undetectable by directional scanners
Well that's just complete and utter bullsh!t... As if Solo pvp wasn't hard enough, we can not even rely on our D-Scan now?? somthing that we have relied on for the past 10 years.. You are basicaly breaking around some core mechanics here. Faction Warefare has been completely broken since Incarna, now you are telling me that recons with web, neut, damp & ECM bonuses will be able to hide in plain site in FW plexes and there is no conventional way to find them. Even if combats work to find them, we would have to do that for every plex... I smelt somthing bad in the air when the mobile scan inhib came into game, didn't realise things were going to be this bad. POWER CREEP is getting excessive.. Do they not have combat probes where you live?

The number of people in this thread that think that the Falcon, Rapier, Arazu, and Pilgrim are becoming immune to directional scan is depressingly high.

Now every one will be flying falcons, jam everything, at 100+km and sit pretty while other people get raped. oh not to mention that they will no longer be on the directional, you are the worst.

Thanks for following me where ever i go and scan for me, that way i can enjoy my pvp in this one character, without alts/links/scouts whatever. You might need to make friends. :shrug:

It's actually pretty surprising to see the number of people who think that neut range is somehow worse than neut amount. Have any of you actually flown a pilgrim against, well, anything? Pilgrims needed the range very badly to avoid getting fridged by anything with even a remote ability to kite.

You want this ability so badly you blindly push aside the harsh effects it will have on so many, simply saying adapt to the changes. Yet goons as a whole certainly have a big mouth when anything at all pops up that they are even iffy about.. [citation needed]
Also, who is an F1 warrior, exactly? I haven't been in a fleet in years. My contributions to the swarm are decidedly non-military. You sure think you know an awful lot about an organization of which you aren't a member.
I do appreciate your ingratiating position of surrender, however.

Majority of Eve use dscan tools and it would be extremely frustrating to not be able to copy a certain ship type from dscan list when you can clearly see it in your own overview. Good point. Lol no-scan recons is a death to WH carebears. Less WH carebears -> more price on T3 ships -> more $ players spend for PLEX -> PROFIT for CCP! This is a pretty far-fetched chain of thought, here. There are several alternatives, not the least of which is "flying ships other than strategic cruisers."

Hello to goons CEO for rmt support ;) They have low price ;) We stomp T3 fleets with Dominixes on the regular. Strategic cruisers aren't the end-all, be-all of Eve.

You are assuming that as a recon ship is has no allies in the fight... which is hilarious as Recons almost always need back up... Who cares if it gets kited? I have friends to deal with that... Back in the day, force recons were actually used as solo boats for their ability to dictate range. It was more about not getting caught than sheer destructive force. The pilgrim failed at this because it always had to engage in scram range in order to bring its bonuses to bear; something that its other force recon cousins could not do. The pilgrim, additionally, was too slow to, practically, get into neut range in the first place, and even if it did, it was difficult to keep anyone there.
With neut range, it will be able to more effectively dictate range in an encounter, allowing it greater solo potential.

If you run DED sites, you can just check d-scan for incomming tackle. Right now you see the covert ops (recon / t3 / frigs) get decloacked on the gate. It's hard for them to suppries you.
And if you are 1 - 2 pockets into the site, you have quite a good warning time to position yourself. With the recon now getting more tank, cap and unable to see on the d-scan, it will be very hard to do somthing about that.
I mean I like pvp, I fly the DED exploration sites with PvP fitting, but what can I do when suddently two ships appear with no warning that can tackle and jam me from 93 km away? After they got point, the rest of the gang can come in.
I really reallly like DED sites pvp, but this will make it SUPER easy to get hard countered by a larger group. It doesn't add any particularly interestuing game play apart from rather idiotic ganks.
lol CCP don't care about this. They just want you to buy PLEX for real money. Your posting is equivalent to a small child banging the same key on a piano over, and over, and over, and over.
We get it. You, at once, believe CCP's only motive is to force PLEX sales, as well as believe that buying PLEX is the only way to make money in a game where money is literally thrown at you from all possible angles in amounts greater than any one person can devise a way to consume. Your point is clearly made. We get it.

Back in the day... Well we are not 'back in the day' so stop living in the past and focus on the present and the future. That's the thing GÇö-ánothing about my anecdote has changed. The issues with the pilgrim still exist, and are compensated nicely by swapping the neut amount for range.
I know that everyone is comparing the pilgrim's neut amount to the legion's neut amount, but given the ominous portents by Dev posts within this thread and without, I suspect that the battleship-level tank strategic cruisers are not long for this world.

You're the one who made it personal by calling me an "F1 Warrior," impugning me on account of my alliance affiliation. I make it a point to never bring up the affiliation of a poster when I'm posting, but if others stoop to it, I'm happy to respond in kind.
I didn't put the rest of your post into my reply, because I wasn't interested in it. It was mostly rambling about stuff, and it wasn't the part that I wanted to talk about.

It's also pretty amusing that people still decry ECM as overpowered, when it's been consistently shat upon over the last four years. To put it into finer perspective GÇö-áGoonswarm Federation, an organization for whom the use of cheap, T1 disruption cruisers is signature, abandoned ECM entirely in favor of sensor dampening and tracking disruption. This ought to tell you how unreliable jamming is in the current meta.

This ought to tell you how unreliable jamming is in the current meta. That's because ECM in a small gang/solo environment is extremely over powered, but is insignificant in large scale combat. Damps are the reverse. Do you understand now? No, because damps are better in the small scale combat scenario too, because they are guaranteed to work.

CCP Rise wrote:Okay, first major update just edited into the OP.
Major changes:
We're going to go with a lighter resist profile than originally described, setting all eight recons at the former combat recon resist profile. While we still like the goal of making them more fleet viable, their tank was one of their only stand-out weaknesses and we felt that removing it could make them oppressive at smaller scales. To compensate somewhat we've trimmed 5 more sig radius of each ship.
With the Pilgrim we decided to split the difference between neut range and strength by wrapping both into one bonus. The amounts will be smaller than either of the singular bonuses but this should do a nice job of giving more engagement range flexibility while still allowing for plenty of cap pressure.
We are going to move one high slot on the Lachesis to a low slot, making armor slightly more viable while still preserving room in the mids for damps as well as long range warp disruption. The damage potential for the Lach is still on par with other combat recons even without the fifth high so we feel this fits better than giving up a mid.
The Rook is getting a little more PG fitting room and trading the 5% HAM/HML rate of fire bonus for a 7.5% kinetic missile damage bonus. This is typical Kaalakiota bonus, gives the same number of effective launchers, and favors RLML over the rate of fire bonus.
Finally, I will say again that the directional scan immunity is staying, though we are very aware of concerns (especially concerning FW site abuse) and will watch closely to see how this new capability is used and make any necessary adjustments.
Have a great Christmas o/ Glad to see y'all holding the line on the dscan immunity. I also think the pilgrim thing is a decent compromise. Good stuff.
