There are certain things that define us as a corp.
It is a well known fact that BE and their infamous ravens use lots of WCS.
The news that WCS are to be nerfed has been going around for years. One year ago it would have upset me. At that time, people were complaining a lot about WCS. So CCP were kind enough to invent the interdictor. The forums declared it to be the end of BURN EDEN, as they did when Missles, EW and dampners were nerfed. Sadly for them, it was quite the opposite. We began using interdictors to the extreme. On a normal day, we go through 50 warp disrupt probes.
This meant we could stop relying on our ravens to get points to hold down targets for a longer time and introduced many people complaining about us warping in at 200k and spamming javelins etc. After we gained experience doing this, we began to questions the need for wcs. If we were fighting close range, it tended to be in our own bubble. If we were fighting long range, few ships ever got within scramble range. If we were getting ganked, stabs rarely saved us.
So BE members slowly began wearing less and less warp core stabs. We kept the word going that we still fitted 4 or 5 stabs and people still believed it, despite what our loss mails said.
The wcs nerf now means that anyone fitting stabs and fighting us will have a really hard time due to the stab penalties and our dampners. This pleases us greatly.
Secondly, the javelin torperdo has been nerfed to uselessness. I do not believe they will stay nerfed like this as from reading the jav torp nerf thread it is clear there is a massive over nerf here. Still, its highly likely that they will never be as powerful as they currently are. Not to worry, all of us have cruise spec 5 too. A 100dps reduction against battleships, made up by a massive dmg increase against frigs and cruisers (Guided Missle precision 5 anyone).
Our setups always aim to use the most powerful and potent weapons and systems at the time. This has been true since 2004. Nothing will change. Almost every single patch since 2004 has nerfed our setups or boosted counter setups in some way.
This has never, not once, had a negative effect on our ability to kill. The lowest point nerf wise we have ever been at was just after interdictors came out when dampners were nerfed to uselessness. Yet, we had once of the most successful contracts ever in the gameÆs history against RA + friends at this point.
So to all those non believers saying this is our end. This is but another chapter in the legend. Our corporation has never in its history been stronger than is it right now. Our history at nerf adaptation speaks for itself. This one is no different.
Have a nice day.
Shin Ra BURN EDEN
Summary: WCS + jav torps are getting nerfed. This will have little effect on us. Everyone who thinks this is our end, hmm.. well..

I expected as much. While I consider your tactics lame, it didn't seem to be depending on the use of stabs. You were always far enough away with your ravens to not need stabs.
Question though.
What do you think the impact of the 50% hitpoint increase will be on your strategy? Won't it make it a lot easier for people to race back to a gate and survive long enough to jump through?
If I had to guess, this might force you to go in a lot closer (to web people) than your current tactics do.

It's huge issue for everyone and will lead to even bigger blobs. Cough cough undocking and docking again in moros with neutron blasters, anyone:P? I'll have something silly like 400k armor and aggro timer is 60s at it worst.
And considering fact that biggest killer in fleets is lag, this hp increase is completely unneccessary. Apart on capital ships maybe.

Hmm first more hp is bad for lag ... than it is bad for lame dock-undock tactic with dreads, second more hp is good on cap ships - this means you adore lame dock-undock tactic? -------------------------------------------

Blah blah tbh Shin. I don think anyone really cares.
You do what you do well, but it looks to me like CCp took a alook at your corp to see exactly what the lamest possible way is possible to engage in PvP and nerfed it. ANY of us could do what you do, but we choose not , cos quite simply we care about the reputation of our corps.
Your entire recent strategy got the nerf bat, that in itself says something.
Your not stupid, and you are good Pvpers, so you will adjust, but if you wanna shake of the reputation of being a bunch of dckwads, then you should try understanding the concept of honour, and not go purposefully out of the way to fight in the lamest possible way you can.
(ps I do however respect the fact that you dont log off trap, no lag bombing etc, if youhave anything to hold onto is that you did it all fair n square.... but results aren't everything in life m8, its not always what you did, its quite often how you did it)

Nah, the blob numbers were never to scramble you... they were to try and one shot your ravens when you came in at range :D
Almost worked too if it wasn't for Woody forgetting to actually fire his guns :|
Anyway good luck, dbp

Yes, i've learned it from tjakka first hand, if you want to flame.
Back on topic: I don't like it, and huh, maybe capital ships could use different aggro timer. Problem with capital tanking is that capital reps in siege mode repaired nearly 50% armor in one cycle, burst damage was killing tanks etc.

Yes i want to flame - i learned it from LUKEC if you want to know. Back on topic too: Increase of HP only on one "Class" of ship introduces imbalance. Anyway this 50% up will mean much more on CAPS than other. 1 milion Shield Phoenix Anyone? -------------------------------------------

Anyone reading you killboard and looking at your raven lost(how ever few they are) have noticed that you dont fit full low of stabs anymore. However there is still usually 1/2 on your setup depending on pilot. The fact that having even 1 on you setup basically nullifies your sensor boosters is still a victory all around. Alot of the people you shoot are trying to get away from you anyway so most of them will still keep having stabs or will go with more pure speed setups.
The warp core change will make people alot more vulnerable(you included) to the frigate swarm again since its almost useless to put even a stab on in pvp situation and now one 20km disruptor means you cant warp. Plus ecm is so overpowerd they could probably take off the dual scram setups and start fitting ecm modules. However one of the main problems when battling you has been the lack of ability to get you to stay so you can be blobbed. I believe this will either shorten your engangment times or you will have to bring other ships or setups to compesate.
Will this affect your ability to kill? Probably not much or not at all. Will it affect you in some way. Probably yes. Does this really F up the sniping BS,eagles, zealots, deimos and stababonds that depend on wcs to get away alot of times? Yes. Will it change the way alot of people pvp? Yes. Even then will people still keep calling you stab "who res"? Yes.

As Shin Ra said at the top I don't think this nerf will really effect BE greatly.
When they were down in CVA space they would never stay put in one spot for long and even if you had enogh time to land a frig/dictor on top of them they were all aligned and ready to warp the instant any danger threatened.

pss. Your reputation as WCs *****s (basically cowards) is one you garnered fairly, and developed joyously, no one to blame but yourself.
Since when are jav torps lame? Sorry i didnt get that memmo? It seems to me people more and more are just starting to "decide" wow that is lame without many arguments? I mean sure WCS can be argued against in pvp fittings, certainly same thing with logging out to save ships in bubbles etc - but jav torps why again?
