This. I want my AF AB bonus back....it got lost somewhere on a Sisi mirror long ago.
That and when (not if) this balance does not solve the issue ccp has some thing to ponder really.
I swear CCP has some prior military working for them, possible Marine Corps. They love their group punishment for 1 or 2 problem children. PFC X is a screw up and did something stupid, again. Lets make the whole company or squadron pay for it.
Used to work in the old days, give pfc X a wall to wall counseling or blanket party, usually got his head and his ass wired right again.
If this what CCP someone (or someones) is going off of...this has changed. These days even good ole sandbag party (have the tard fill up sandbags and stack em until you get bored watching them) will get you as the NCO charged for hazing. Saw this as I left the Marines as a Sergeant....apparently lots of tards want paperwork that follows them their whole career vice a couple hour sand bag session that when done leaves no paper trail.
Nerfing DDA not the solution. Not when the problem ships have bonuses that offset them.
I recall CCP's stance on domi and Ishtar when this started. They said they finally got drones as a primary weapon. Which it did kind of need. If this is the spirit of the keeping some things in place (problem child ship bonuses) they are making the exact opposite happen. They are killing drones for the rest of us.
I am eyeing the demise of even sentry rattler. A drone boat ffs. All these tweaks....just not in my mind worth the aggravation of baby sitting them. Heavy rattler being eyed so I get a lot of mobility back. Hell if the tracking mods work well...the rattler could go almost pure missile. maybe a DDA for light/mediums to kill frigs faster. |

I spent 3-4 mounth of life learning Ishtar, and its nerfed twice. before it i have learned up to 5 (2 battleship skills) Rattlesnake , thay nerfed them for less firepower against gangster frigetes. just left bonus for heavy and senrty drones, also nerfed sentryes. Is tte CCP watching me ? Now im finishing learn the Sin - guys this one ll be nerfed soon 
You are safe. It have to be working to break.
Train RR well if you haven't. Sin is actually good for this role. As well...you don't really miss the guns if not there. And may be of more use repping banged up ninjyas in your crew. |

If only they could hammer down the right nails....seems like they are just hammering the nails they don't want to pull even more with the DDA changes and just tapping the bad nails sticking out.
I see the hull changes and maybe its me with some time in sniper cerbs....2 slot glass cannon tanks (what I ran sometimes) look bad on paper but you have to remember the range you can pull (sentry gets some reach as well, sometimes apples and oranges can live together lol).....is also part of your tank. try to be deep falloff or just out of range and tank not even hit hard much if done right and you get some lucky breaks. Ishtar doctrine I would not be surprised will ride on that more.
But time will tell about that I reckon. |

psst....like drizzer posted above this was a disguised buff.
Mid slot loss was a debatable tank hit. You can run run and gun 2 slot tanks and not die. Key is to not get tangled up into a fight.
Something Ishtar did already. Stop, drop and roll.
Stop the ship, drop the sentries....roll the hell out as fast as they can.
DPS loss covered by stacking of DDA. thanks to the....wait for it.......extra low slot. DDA was hit and the primary ship it was meant to hurt got a low slot to correct that. Yes excessive mod stacking is usually bad. When nothing else is catching your eye and you want more damage....it quickly becomes a why the hell not decision.

Why can't you see that having the 5km control range, 5% damage, optimal and tracking bonus to sentry drones is the real problem?
.
I have come to the hypothesis CCP has stuff on a dart board and 2 scenarios are possible as a result .
No one at CCP can shoot to save their lives and double in/out to play a proper game of (darts) cricket would just kill them. So they must have put this on the double ring and miss it again and again.
Or
They have a darts pro who is missing this on purpose and looking real good at making it look natural.
The DDA was needed admittedly to some extent as some drone boats were moving up in the ranks. But that again....could be solved by targetted fixes. Its not like CCP doesn't know how to shut down worm....they did a bang up job for years at it.
Its just the group punishment is bleeding over too much. And the problem children have loopholes to offset most of the nerf. |

This. CCP can't balance in the lowest common denominator. In this case the cheaper meta/t2 spamming player. As it takes just 2 out 8 players to not be cheap and splurge to create some fun moments real fast.
Here for example is how old school dramiel spam started. A few of these flown well....could wreck larger numbers of say t2 frigs like AF's. As no AF love in sight at that time guess what many did? They ratted more and said can't beat em, join em. Dramiel got you home in one piece at its much higher isk cost than a cheaper AF did. This like the visa commericials of old said was priceless sometimes.
CCP is also aware they do have the richer players who aren't scared to spend some isk. CCP long story short knows there are players who aren't saving up to be Chribba. They have 500 mil extra end of month they buy stuff. Can't take it with them as it were.
This can get easier for players like who don't emo rage when we use RL to pay our sub. Rl money covers my sub due to play time constraints, if I make only 400 mil isk for the month....that's 400 mil fun money. This how I make eve fun tbh. Had me a nice run to jita today for example. Clearing up some final things for the night then off to play with some new toys. |
