So much this, Why are the carrier bonuses not shared with assigned fighters but drone augmentative modules are shared with assigned fighters, Perhaps you should fix that....

We dont care. Death to all supers.

I guess that blog by your leader not log ago ordering all goons to NOT sell their super capitals is a figment of my imagination?

No Goon can order any other Goon to do anything.

How about "Never stop posting" ?

We never fight outnumbered, we are blue with everyone, no one dogpiles any fight we're in.


Edit: It's pretty obvious what mechanics are "best" in the current meta. We're going to keep utilizing them until CCP makes a change.

1: Sentry Drones (ishtar/domi)
2: Tengus
3: Goonswarm Developers at CCP

there are some acceptable times to stop posting

e.g.: being asleep, or dead

The primary goal of this change is to ensure that rapidly scooping and relaunching fighters and fighter bombers never gives a dps advantage.

we need drone bay fatigue

make it happen

Don't give them ideas, they will make docking fatigue a thing too

Kind of interesting to see the basic attitude towards this depending on which bloc is posting.

Goons: meh or Yay.
NC. Kadeshi: waah aaaaa!
PL: *silence*

As to why Goons are still stockpiling supers; it's no secret. Jump range nerfs/fatigue notwithstanding the best (and often only) way to kill a large blob of supers is with a bigger blob of supers. Until that changes (probably because goons do their damndest to use a stupid mechanic to the nth degree deliberately to get things changed) goons will fly supers.

Well you could say that about Tykonderoga, but I'm more of an inquisitive sort. I just want to understand the whys and wherefores of this. I want to know what the DIRECT correlation is between the so called "exploit" and reducing fighter bombers scan resolution over 90%.

Maybe?

Before this change a Bomber had a scan res 5 times higher than the ship that launched them. After this change they will have about half the scan res of the ship that launched them.




In the old system the fighter-bombers had the lock time of a cruiser. This meant that you could scoop and launch them and they would instantly lock their target and begin applying DPS.

With these changes the bombers will have to lock the target again every time you launch them and the time lost on applying a new lock will nullify the benefit of scooping and re-launching them.


It will also add a delay between switching targets since the bomber now need around 14 seconds to lock a battleship and even as much as 30 seconds to lock smaller Cruisers.

So if a Super has say.... 2 hictors locked then switching from one to the other will have a bomber lock time of about 15 seconds even if the super itself already has both of them locked. This will also make the hictors see the drones yellow boxing them far in advance of the actual damage. Giving the Hictor team time to switch points and alert logi support.


Edit: something, something, death to supers.

This war-cry against fighters, and fighter bombers, is very similar to the propaganda used by J

Making Abandon/Scoop/Recall to Drone bay trigger a timer is perfectly possible within the game. We see this already occurring in a broad spectrum of commands in game already (reload weapons for example). In fact we just saw them implement a new timer tied to Jump to Beacon commands, that didn't exist before. So the computer can be told to function to have a command also begin a timer.

We also know that timers can be made to prevent someone from issuing commands again across a wide array of things. Which means locking drone commands based on a timer, is also a possible process in the game.

If for any reason this can not be implemented due to code structure, than it is an issue with the code, not the process capability of the game. So yes, if it can not be implemented, it is because of bad code, period.

I respectfully disagree... unless the target, AND the fighters/fighter bombers AND the ship that deployed them are at such a range in which that becomes true (Range = less than 4000 meters of the drone in question). the only drone to which all this hullabaloo is more apt to be true of, is not fighters, not Fighter bombers, not heavy drones, not medium drone, nor light drones, but virtually solely the Provence of sentries.

So instead of, you know, preventing the rapid scooping and relaunching of fighters and fighter bombers by either adding a cooldown to such actions or by tracking drones' cycle time while in the drone bay, you change the scan resolution?

I can only see three possibilities here. Laziness, incompetence, or deception.

confirming that having to wait a few extra seconds before damage is applied is both literally worthy of a national socialist party comparison and considered a sledgehammer
