If carriers are supposed to be still useable for ratting, then we need one of the following

1. Much more ehp on fighters.
2. Much lower costs on fighters
3. An even greater damage increase on fighters
4. A reliable way to keep aggro off fighters.


Its not possible to test them vs npc right know, but looking at their stats and shooting them with an alt, shows that fighters die very quickly.

With the current mechanic I would assume that the only way to keep all fighters alive, is to immediately call them back if one is attacked. Which is quite difficult since they die so fast and there is no clear warning when one is attacked. Also this would be a huge dps loss since this means to call back the whole squadron.

And loosing a few fighters per anomaly makes the whole thing pointless if the anomalie is only worth ~30 mil while each fighter already costs 3 mil.

If they are supposed to be used like ammo, meaning you are supposed to loose and replace them all the time (which seems to be the purpose, consindering the size of the fighter bay, their ehp and the "reloading" mechanic), then either the costs needs to be also on the level of ammo, so the fighter need to be much cheaper, or they need to be much stronger, to make up for the loss by being able to clear anos faster.
The latter would probably mean they are completely overpowered in pvp.
Lets say you loose only 5 fighter per ano, with the current costs (about 3 mil from the blueprint) thats about half the bounty of a heaven, so you need to be able to do twice as many heavens as before, and since warping also costs time, the kill speed (and thus the damage) needs to be increased by about a factor of 2.5. This is probably too much damage for pvp.

Otherwise its not possible to use them as ammo so we need a way to keep them alive. Either much more ehp or a way to keep aggro off them. If the ehp increase is only so much that we can call them back in time, then we still need a significant damage increase, to make up for the 33% damage loss while recalling.


My prefered solution would be to make them much cheaper. This has the advantages of being easier to balance, since they dont get actually stronger, it makes the ratting more active since you have to send out new fighters, and creates a new good with constant demand for industrialists.

The fighters do not need added damage and they do not need more ehp they ate on a good place right now for pvp if that means they may be weaker in PVE so be it

how do i tell fighters where to go?

I would like to add a voice for people concerned with SiSi SP we have received. So far it looks like it's intended that it mostly onle covers needs of people who were already quite close to flying them / those already capital-capable so that they could cross-train. That's a bit disappointing I'd say, but of course I understand the reasons (especially after dealing with what amounts to heavy tidi in test system right after announcement yesterday).

The cost is can understand yes but their tank would worry me it seems to be at a good level so long as they are not getting sniped

anyone know how to get manual fighter movement to work i could not figure this out idk if it has been implemented i got conflicting yes and no's as to if it works waiting for CCP to confirm yes or no
