Get into your CR's and sit and wait for them to warp to what looks like a mining fleet. Get two buddies with you so the number of ships on dscan equals amount of people in local.
Sorry. Isn't that what I said. I thought I had made it clear enough without actually stating that. |

So based on the wh mass / range push back AND the push back on the D-scan immunity....
CCP - the PVP community at large doesn't want ganking tools. We want PVP tools. These gimmicks we're pushing back on are gank tools.
We're not looking to log in and gank folks (sure we all do it pretty much every time it comes up, but it's NOT the thing we log in to do), we're looking to log in and PVP. Please just knock it off w/ the gank stuff. We're not 100,000 14 year olds that continually get a kick out of ganking. You are sequentially ruining a great PVP game with cheesey gank mechanics. |

Giggle, you're trying to take the D-scan immunity gank buff and use it for pvp.... and OMG it's not working.
You're trying to do it right, but sadly thanks to CCP 'you're doing it wrong'

Abusable as in free ships for me and 199 of my closest friends? Combats still work on them.
I would love to see the 200 pilot egg scramble to hop back in thier ships as my smartbombing raven of epic glory goes to work on them. This is the first positive for a bad idea in the whole thread.
I think the Baltec dude would be the only one to go for floating 200 recons in space... which would leave him roughly (not too good at maths) 199 pilots short of doing it.
Large scale I think it's something we can talk about, but no one is actually ever going to leave 200 combat scannable curse in space.... then again, if they were all in unique safe spots.... hmmm...... |

A note about risk aversion: I'm doing combat sites and anomalies in hisec lately, just chilling from my ventures to null. It's insane in caldari space! You know that story? "An Ishtar, Gila and Worm warped to guristas refuge?" I saw a higsec system with more than 40 players in it. Next jump was lowsec, 0 players, scanner was green. I'm partially agree with Rise that knowing too much may spoil the fun (just like the time i jumped into whole pack of bnewbies, 600 mil in cargo, heart on the shoulder) but i don't think it's the right way to change it.

So basically what happened here is you thought about how it makes people feel when they think they're having a really close fight and then a falcon decloaks and thought to yourself "Why limit that to just falcons? Why not all recons?". Now, in your example, they can have that feeling when they land on grid with two rooks without falcons even needing to be there. hashtag content created hashtag Rise2014.
I'll be scouting every gang with a cloaky nullified linkalt of course but there again I already take ambitious aggressive fights which could go either way while actively ignoring the people who have no chance against me because for me risk is a big part of what I pvp for. I don't get any joy from having someone land expecting to fight what I have minus recons, being dead before it starts, and basically being able to f1 afk which is apparently your idea of content. What I like is fighting even or against the odds and trying to persevere through skill and for that I'll need to stop relying so much on dscan and start getting cloaky nullified eyes on grid so I can get a better idea of what the odds are. Fights which are over before they're begun are not good content, making a larger proportion of fights a complete waste of time does not make eve a more content rich environment for the losers or the winners of said fights, even if more fights take place overall. |

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. In other words, you're buffing the defenses of the cloak-capable force recons, while giving nothing to the non-cloaking combat recons (5 sig isn't going to make any difference to the non-Minmatar as they're still well above 125). The Cov Ops cloak is an extremely powerful offensive and defensive module. Please give the non-cloaking combat recons the full T2 resists so that the changes align with the realities of our internet spaceship game.
CCP Rise wrote: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. A lot of people are against this change, but I actually like it. In my mind, the cloaky recons shouldn't hit as hard (with DPS or EWAR) as their non-cloaky counterparts. Don't forget how strong a Cov Ops cloak is. Outside of metagaming, the most powerful tool to enable a pilot to choose when, where, and even if he/she is going to engage is the Cov Ops cloak. Having that module and good range, but a paper tank and weaker application of effects seems balanced to me.
CCP Rise wrote: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. Love the slot move :) Have you considered having Roden Shipyards selling the rights to CreoDron and giving the Lach a drone bonus? You could replace the med hybrid tracking bonus with a drone HP/damage/tracking/whatever bonus. This is a Gallente ship after all, and its drone bay is as large as the Curse and Pilgrim's. No drone bonus on either Gal recon seems odd to me.
CCP Rise wrote: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. *groan* That god damn kinetic lock in! Just change the "typical Kaalakiota bonus" to missile RoF and make a bunch of ships suck much less in one fell swoop! Also, give the Rook harder hitting ECM because at the moment, why use the Rook when you can use the Falcon (does it better) or the Blackbird (does it cheaper)?
CCP Rise wrote: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/ So instead of putting in a weaker version of the Dscan immunity, and nudging up its power if it seemed too weak, you put it in as full strength, blanket 100% Dscan immune, combat-probing-alts-are-now-required bullshit.

There is no middle ground on this, you either have it or you dont, same as bubble immunity. This bonus will be abused to hell in FW and WH space the 2 places where dscan is your primary (and only (yes yes yes I know about combat probes but you try fitting a probe launcer on a combat/pve ship just to see what's uncloaked just off grid is a joke) source of intel

Ganking is an important aspect of any open PvP world. And I say that as a person who is more likely to be the gankee than the ganker. There has to be a level of risk to the ways we earn ISK, and balancing that level is just as important as anything else.
My apologies if I'm remembering this wrong, but I believe I've previously seen you post something along the lines of "we should be able to spend a little time earning money and then use that to go out and do consensual PvP." That goes along with what you said about PvP versus ganking. But the truth is that they are both important aspects of the game. Without ganking we'd just be lazily earning money and effectively be playing some kind of hybrid between WoW Arena's and Counterstrike.
I've done open world PvP in other games and hated it. There wasn't any real warning, if somebody wanted to gank you they could probably pull it off without you having a chance to avoid it. EVE balances that out pretty well, there are tools for the ganker and tools for the gankee. In both cases, if those tools aren't used they put that person at a serious disadvantage.
The D-scan changes for Combat Recons shake that up a little bit, but they don't break it. They gain advantages offgrid but gain nothing on grid. So while you can call this a tool for ganking, it's also a tool that can be easily mitigated. That's been covered repeatedly in this thread. The folks in FacWar will likely have to work a little harder than us wspacers to mitigate it, but plenty of options have been presented for that.
Without ganking, legitimate forms of PvP would be nullified, like baiting, or surviving due to their fear of being baited. Now that I've made this post the chances that my Drake will get blown up tonight will be magically increased, but that is what keeps the game alive. The mechanics are what make the game fun, but the risk is what keeps it interesting.

I'm pretty curious to hear from CCP Rise soon.
As much as folks have thrown rocks at him (and I was tempted) he has tried to respond to our feedback earlier in the thread and adjust. We may not like some of the proposed adjustments based on how they effect us but I do appreciate the work the balance team are putting in.
That said, from my narrow perspective of the Caldari Recons...I like any positive change but I'm concerned if we don't get these right it will be years before Recons are effectively touched again to repair or optimize something that could be done here.
1) d-scan immunity...I'm ok with either way. I think there are some creative things we can pull off with it and it ups the ante for certain activites for sure but it's not a make or break thing for me at all.
2). The kinetic damage lock in for the Rook is a pain point. It directly attacks one the biggest strengths (selectable damage) of a weapons line that honestly probably Needs a little help already. Either go back to the 5% damage buff per level or increase the damage of kinetic warheads from the 7.5% per level to 10% per level.
3). T2 resists for the combat recons...this is a critical addition that I honestly think needs to go through. Without them there isn't much "combat" staying power, particualry when compared to other T2 hulls. The d-scan immunity simply isn't enough to come near justifying the ISK cost of a T2 Rook over a T1 Blackbird.
4) Compared utility to like ship hulls... As noted above the Falcon does just as well, has full cloak & cyno capability and the Blackbird is far far cheaper and arguably has a better ECM bonus focused on increased range. You could make a case that the Blackbird might be more survivable than the Rook because of that. I would recommend looking at a similar bonus structure to what was proposed in the Amarr line: give a combined range and jam strength bonus but at an obviously reduced level.

It wasn't the whole point. It was part of the point.
Hopefully Rise will keep sufficient resists to make Combat recons useful for more than just one new use.

Ah yes, the HTFU/adapt crowd. Be honest: you'd applaud any change no matter how ridiculous if it gave you the chance to smugly denounce everyone else as a bunch of nullbear whiners.
The spread formation can suck a girthy carrot. Combat probing only works as a mechanic because you can use d-scans to get an initial fix. Without it you're looking at a lengthy, tedious process just like scanning signatures. Pro-tip: this works better for things that move once a day than things that move once a minute. Not to mention the fact that it now mandates that people bring a probing alt just to get the most basic combat intel. Talk about a pain in the dongue.
Wynta wrote:If it is constantly hopping around system wont it also be difficult to DSCAN it
Not unless the system you're in is absolutely massive. It's fairly easy to spread a few gang members across celestials and have them pick targets up on somewhat narrow scans (often with approximate ranges as well). This can tell you within a few seconds where to put your probes. |

A very interesting and possibly abusable idea when you get 200+ recon pilots doing this. For a fleet of 200 pilots to do this, that's at least 400 ships you are moving into a hostile area in order to implement it. Combats would be out looking for the ships well before the operation is setup, ready to go.
The logistics around used this for a large fleet would be a nightmare.

I think Jenshae was saying that if you see 10 people in local and only 5 ships on scan just assume the delta equals recon ships to be safe.

DSCAN Change is stupid.
Here is a fix. Why have two ships filling the same roles?
Just give Combat Recons a cov ops cloak, and drop their EWAR capabilities. Increase their tanks and dps output. Force Recons lose their weapon fittings, and are refocused primarily for EWAR, and Scan Probe use.
I think trying to shoe horn in an entire new mechanic when you have 2 ships doing essentially the same thing is redundant and gimmicky. Just split the roles and be done with it. |

Nope. Check local. See 10. D-scan - see 5. Assume 5 are Recons. Avoid fight.
Please tell me (and I'm being serious) how this is any different from the force recons today?
Decloaking delay is irrelevant as you'll be hard tackled by the other 5. Lack of 'power' not wholly relevant because there are 5.
If you only ever take fights when you can account for every pilot in local you must take many.... |

Unless the system is smaller than 14AU and you're in the dead center, this is the norm even now. I just have to assume that something is camping one of the gates not in DScan range.
Or are you living in a system which has everything in range of Dscan and never leave it? |

Its interesting to see so many getting worked up over the Dscan trick when its effectively the same as any ship with a cov ops cloak, the only difference is the rook can be probed down.
