So afk ratting ishtars dont get a nerf but ded/pvp fits do?

CCP Rise turning eve into afk botter dreamland.

Good to know you support the use of bots.

Typical Anime Masters post.

Trash corp, TRASH opinions.

Typical alt poast, no opinion, no relevance, no value.

Look @ ur likes look at his)))))

Do we really have to start a pissing contest about likes being somewhat related to shitpost or can we just agree CCP didn't do that to support botting?

Naw rise got those strong bribes to make this "rebalence"

The people have a right to know friend.

People won't know unless internal affair put their nose into it. At best people might think of your theory as plausible while others will dismiss it. If internal affair finds any wrongdoing, you can be sure the people will know.

The ccp police force is corrupt as BoB,

Remember spawning of t2 bpos?

Well they obv spawned ishtar bpos for the cfc.

INternal affairs didn't exist when T20 spawned the BPOs...

Ohh they were there m8 but rise was the lead detective.

Just for reference - has ANYONE agreed that DPS is the problem?

Anyone?

At all?

Cmon CCP. Notice that much at least.

This will achieve the goal of making Ishtars less useful, but unfortunately does nothing to make other ships useful. Range and speed are overpowered in EVE, and only doctrines with damage projection and mobility work.

In other words, people will just use the next platform that outranges others while remaining mobile, leaving whole shipclasses gathering dust in hangars.

In Scylla we are deploying a set of high-impact balance changes.

This thread is for discussing a proposed changed to the Ishtar. We are planning to split it's drone damage bonus in to two bonuses so that we can lower the bonus to sentry damage. It would look like this:

Old bonus: Gallente Cruiser bonuses (per skill level):
10% bonus to Drone hitpoints and damage

New bonus: Gallente Cruiser bonuses (per skill level):
10% bonus to Light, Medium and Heavy Drone hitpoints and damage
5% bonus to Sentry Drone hitpoints and damage

This change is being made to encourage diversity in ship choice across EVE. The Ishtar has proven strong enough with its current bonus set to dominate in many environments and we want to make sure there is plenty of room for ship choice other than the Ishtar. We came to this decision using a combination of internal metrics, community feedback and by using EFT like everyone else.

Too much? Too little? Let us know.

Fighters warping to supers/carriers is a very nice quality of life thing for capital pilots. Since the intended target of the nerf is a very specific style of gameplay, it would be nice if recovery of drones wasn't collateral damage.

well this wasn't the 5 m/s nerf to its speed i was expecting but it's still clearly a "terrified of making too big a change that there's no chance of it going far enough" change (like the last ishtar nerf). at least it's a little bigger than the last one.

I dont like to see a ship that is over-powered in large scale pvp environments destroyed when the ishtar is backbone for alot of people to make their isk... Your removing DPS from sentries when on a 200 ship scale is almost nothing.. On the other hand makes a huge difference when Im running sites with 2 of them... The problem is not me using them to make isk.. its to "try" and make alliances use something else.. the ishtar is too good? or all your other ships are not good or specilaized enough? Id be perfectly fine with my sentries only able to hit out to 40km.. or have to pull them in and put out lights or mediums to combat smaller ships because sentries cannot track anything but cruisers up.. but to cripple the only useful HAC in the game down because people are sick of fighting them.. honestly makes no sense.

This is not fixing the problem and only hurts the "usefullness" of the ship in every other aspect than why your actually nerfing it to begin with. i.e sentry tracking + range (is all you need to touch) why does everything need to be compared to its equivilant ship class?

• When you pull up all the HACs the Ishtar is the slowest already (185m/s), for those complaining about its base speed.
• Its base targeting range is middle of the road 80km only better than the Sacrilege 70KM and Zealot 75KM, the other HACS range from 80 to 95KM.
• Those that want larger signature: it has the 2nd largest already, 145m. Deimos is 150m.
• Fitting: It has the worst power grid and CPU among HAC 780MW power and 340 TF CPU.
