As the "exploit" has already been explained on how it works, I don't need to explain it here.

So, if scooping and redeploying is an exploit, why even have that mechanic in the game? The exploit just comes from the laziness of CCP's coding. If they decided to just make the ROF a global timer per drone. So if you pulled and redeployed that timer never got reset, then this exploit would never have existed nor would be an issue today.

The bottom line is that, CCP would rather just nerf something to fix an issue, rather than look at the coding and be like "Oh, we screwed up, and this exploit is our fault for bad coding, we should probably fix this." But instead of doing that, they'd rather go "Oh, we screwed up, but let's not admit it, and just change scan res so that we kinda fixed the exploit without actually fixing our terrible coding."


Just make each fighter and fighter bomber's ROF work on a global timer than doesn't reset when you scoop and deploy and everything is fixed. There's no legitimate reason to nerf the scan res of Fighters and FBs unless CCP would rather just make supercarriers used less and less than they already are.

"Ishtars are fine, but fighters definitely need a scan res nerf."

Really? Sheesh, here comes the short bus.

The quotation marks imply that that was CCP's thought process. I figured that was obvious.

Timer on the pilot, can't launch any drone for 20 seconds after launching some others. But that is also server load technically...

Remove the assignment of fighters. Problem of inties with fighter support solved(Not the primary issue but still a good update IMO). On to the stated issue. Re-launch fighter delay. Easy to implement, as with re-entering wormholes.

I don't get why you guys dont want to improve the game. So there are issues, and instead of complaining on your in-game enemy posting that it might be better to go back to the drawing board, your bashing complete nonsense totally not related to the subject and totally not constructive.

I hope this is not the level of CSM, as if it does then EVE will not get better and CCP should just ditch the entire CSM concept, as they will be destroying there company value.

I'm not entirely sure what the reasoning is for this change even having read the OP, but I'm pretty confident it has nothing to do with nerfing FB effectiveness against subcaps.

The premise behind this nerf is dishonest. It makes no sense. This is the last thing that needs rebalanced in this game.

It hasnt escaped everyones notice that there is only one block getting upset over this change. Frankly, the nerfs we want to see happen will make your toes curl. Sentries need a good whacking and RR is all kinds of overpowered.

Then why aren't you providing that criticism here? Post it, post your ideas, explain them and get a healthy discussion going instead of flaming each other. If you want to flame, go to redit.

In b4 Grr Goons.

Still awaiting a response on why FBs are getting a scan res nerf of more than 90%. It makes no sense.
Why 90%? Why not 25% or 50% or 66.666667%?

What does the scan resolution in fighter bombers have to do with an exploit that it requires a 90%+ reduction?

Can you at least do the maths fer me and explain the whys and wherefores?

This isnt the thread for those things and plans are afoot. This thead is about changes to stop a bad thing from becoming a terrible thing. If NC DOT dont want to be seen as the target of this nerf you are not exactly helping yourselves by dogpiling the thread with the flailing masses.

Ladies, you're both pretty. Now let's try and help CCP find a logical, effective fix for this problem instead of flailing away at each other.
