Does this mean I can't herd noobs into 4s in a fleet? That's dumb. |

And it's funny you mention social interaction as being key, seeing as one man doing the work and flying your ship bypasses that oh so important interaction. It's been a long time since I've flown in a fleet that was just carting us around, but for the kind of fleets I'm usually in a prober and a swarm of tacklers just got replaced with D3s. That's on top of losing unified panic warps, having one person know where something is on the far end of a system, carting noobs around level 4 missions so that they can make money fast enough to do things with the rest us, and various nice moments. And there is still the slowing down of everything when people can't group warp to sigs, particularly in WH space.
I don't like D3s and I don't like that QoL is being weakened to push them. |

If we want to take this to its core, I don't actually understand how this is hard on bombers. They have all the time they want or need. Most bombing targets are near a warpable point and everytime I've been in a cloaky fleet all closing in warps were manual anyway. |

Name one situation where scouts can't handle it. Tackling a nullbear before they leave their site. Fleet warps work to anoms. You cant tackle it with a prober and be a warp in for rest of the fleet? With this the prober has to be the tackle unless you want to announce your intent or exclusively use recons. |

Citation needed. We aren't at a real "EvE is dying" point, but yes, the numbers are slipping pretty bad from a late 2013 peak. |

You need ONE scout with bookmarks. The fleet warps to the scout and before they even land he is through the wormhole and off to the next BM. What am I missing here? (Seriously asking.) Marech. Wormholes make people rightly paranoid and they'd rather punt people down a chain than be in the open at what is more or less a permanently blind gate. That and large systems where the scout may take nearly 30 seconds to cross in the first place are why wormholers are so upset. |

And where a lack of bombs hasn't set off a battleship meta. What doesn't work about drone assist in lowsec? Worked before. Still works now, just limited to max 50 drones assisted. In low, unless it's a CONCORD legal target, drones have a habit of not engaging when assisted. |

I really do want to know how this nerfs bombers. People keep saying it does, and I keep thinking about in, but I just can't figure it out. |

People keep saying it does, and I keep thinking about in, but I just can't figure it out. It doesn't do anything for bombers. Really. Bomb runs use a once off "bookmark" for a perch, so most of the time you don't bother with the bookmark. Just warp to fleet member. And what happens when you have to bomb now? Does the bomb magically leave your bay from your perch and end up on the reds? Or does the FC have to warp squad @ 30 to whatever you want to bomb? (Unless you're setting up on a gate..) If FC can't warp squad to 30, then some poor sod will have to sit at 30 in just the right alignment so you can warp to them and bomb before losing alignment, or do a kamikaze @ 0 and then you can bomb him @ 30. That extra dude stuck in the line of fire.. things make sense now? If they're anything like my bombing FCs they'll just target a wreck and tell us to warp to that then target a ship. I have never been fleet warped to a hostle grid in a bomber. |

Look up some youtube videos of Nulli Secunda first void bombing tengus and then electron bombing them to oblivion. All right into the hostile grid. I don't think you understood any of what I just said. |

I don't think you understood any of what I just said. Do tell. What did I miss? Targeting a single ship is to line up the shot on the center of the fleet, we didn't get fleet warps to hostle grids so that lag wouldn't decloak everyone. |
