1. A content freeze until existing content can be balanced. Alongside this, allow longer for private testing so that content made available for public testing is closer to release standard and so that private testers can offer more informed opinions about how new content works (where applicable). If you aren't already, establish details of what you want private testers to accomplish and the deadlines by which this must be done.
2. Overhauling turret fitting requirements, particularly on lasers and projectiles. Some of the small lasers are ridiculously hard to fit on frigs, for example. The autocannon/artillery fitting scheme could also do with reviewing to make it more like the situation with blasters/railguns.
3. Complete overhaul of Tech II ammo. Look at each individual type and see whether it should stay or be changed. Some types are overpowered at the moment, others are barely used.
4. Nosferatu fix - something that balances their use against smaller ship classes. May also be worthwhile introducing a stacking penalty to discourage too many of them from being used (but ensure that the stacking penalty doesn't apply to Nos-specialized ships).
5. A viable anti-missile solution, including modules that act as tracking disruptor equivalents against missiles. A high slot chaff module (that could be fitted into a utility slot rather than requiring a turret/launcher point) might be interesting.
6. A viable means of reducing blobbing. The HP increase will only serve to increase blobbing as more people will be used to take down ships quicker. As an aside, I'd rather see a boost to repairing rather than raw HP.
7. Recalibration time when logging in. If someone logs in they have to wait 5 minutes before they can activate any offensive modules, unless they logged off within the last 5 minutes or their ship is being attacked as they log in.
8. Station changes, aimed at allowing people to see what is outside the station and also changing the way undocking occurs. See here for more details.
9. Rebalancing Covert Ops frigs - making stealth bombers more useful and changing pointless bonuses on the covert ops ships.
10. After balancing existing content, introduce faction/pirate versions of the BS that have been forgotten (e.g. Dominix, Typhoon).
