They'll just be fitted on garmurs, worms and drams and T3Ds.

Kinda wish they just dunked speed all together.
+70% for ABs and 140% for MWDs (and lower sig bloom). But that would require reducing range of a lot of things. |

AB and MWD should just be combined into 1 modules, you add fuel to the module and it behaves like an MWD, otherwise its an AB. Then you wouldn't need to rename anything, speed creep wouldn't be such a problem, the enormous disparity between the two modules would be gone and severe lack of a reason to actually use an AB for anything outside of FW plexs would be irrelevant.
The fuel wouldn't have to be a script and could actually be consumable which is more stuff out of the economy. |

Not if the fuel is strontium

An Atron getting shot at by a light missile Kestrel, takes about 40% less damage if he's ABing instead of MWDing, excluding any webs/painters/fleet bonuses/etc.
Reality is the Atron will get webbed if the kestrel is ABing, maybe even double webbed to take advantage of furies. The Atron will get kited if the kestrel is MWD fit and lose.
In either case the 40% dmg reduction is as superfluous as micro shield extenders. |

In either case the 40% dmg reduction is as superfluous as micro shield extenders. Null hits scram kiters decently well with an atron....but yes the atron will be webbed, so the AB doesn't actually do a whole lot as far as mitigating damage. It does let you close and out dps the crap out of the kestrel though. However If you are flying an MWD atron your purpose is not to brawl with an AB target anyway, it's to chase down would be kiters.
I was trying to bring to attention that, any ABing Atron being hit by light missiles already lost, reduced damage or not, because light missiles imply range which in its own flavor implies kite and speed.
Hence damage reduction from AB is a moot point. If the parallel is drawn to logi ships and such, all that is managed by putting more DPS on the target.
Again, ABs are silly outside of dual prop fits.
Should MWDs surpass AB speed at some cost - sure.
Should it be 2.5 times faster though? Seems absolutely arbitrary that MWDs are faster than ABs to a point where the latter has almost no tactical options in a fight. Why is such segregation "intended". In practice rock,paper, scissors only inspires seasonal FOTMs and not actual "balance". |
