tbh i say good.
after the 0km warp thing pirates have to resort to 0.0 bubbling or bump tactics to get their targets.
imo the problem is that blockade runners have lost their purpose.. they were designed to go at high speeds between gates, but with 0km warps it has made them obselete since speed isnt a requirment to jump.
if you all remember people used to camp on the jump out of a system rather than a jump in.. but now that 0km warps have been introduced it means they have to camp the jump in gates and use ever-more difficult tactics.
Yeah, and ccp wants to promote camping, right? IMO it's one of the least-attractive ways of playing eve and i try to resort to it as little as possible.

what about two mass reduction rigs and then istabs in the lows? Does that work nicely? I might give it a try in my prowler.

No, I'm afraid it doesn't really. It helps, but not nearly enough.

Here's an off the wall idea...
A bonus to speed while cloaked. Similar to the Stealth Bombers ( another borked ship)

Would hurt more than boost them since the mwd, cloak, allign, wait MWD cycle, uncloak, instawarp technique would not work then anymore. You would have to wait for your ship to decelerate then.

It would be cool if a dev could perhaps comment on this. I know you guys are busy, but these do take a long time to train for and are pretty useless these days.
As someone pointed out the BR was also hit by warp to zero (as they were really designed to get to a gate fast and tank a sniper or 2), I know this is here to stay and had to be done along with the nano nerf, but somewhere along the line these ships could do with an overhaul.
If they are going to stay this way well..i guess thats now it goes, but would be nice to know one way or another.

I haven't really used my blockade runner since the patch, but up until then I had used it all the time to break through camps... I never lost a single ship.(Well... until I handed both of mine over to a carrier pilot to jump)
It was bad enough that carriers began to be used to transport cargo more securely, they are now the only way to transport cargo through camps.
Fix my damned Viator, its ridiculous to call it a blockade runner atm. There was an acceptable trade off between risk and storage capacity in the past, that time has come and gone.

All CCP needs to do is to reduce the ships mass, while keeping it's volume the same. This should allow it to align as fast as before, with the nice side affect of a higher top speed. That would help when you warp to a bubbled gate.

With bubbles/dictors and the speed module changes, this ship class is really getting left behind.
Lets actually doing something about it. (tack on a fix when the SB changes come along?)

Bump.
Been watching this thread, and it's made me afraid to push the last 2 ranks on Amarr Indy.
Already have the Transports Skill learned so it would be a natural progression, but I want my Sigel to insta Warp Hop again as well.

I agree. Blockade runners should get an agility bonus. Thus the fix would be contained to this one ship class.

There's a few suggestions here so far, from the simply 'just make 'em a bit more fast/agile' to the 'covops cloaking' or 'bubble immunity'. Perhaps even ewar immune, e.g. can't be scrambled?
Cov ops and e-war immunity would be WAY too much. Cov ops for kinda obvious reasons and ewar immunity means also no web, which would make it effeciently invulnerable, even to bubblecamps.
The most sensible suggestion I have seen (although with unsensible high boni) was changing the transport ship skill effects.
Prepatch a viator with 3 LH istabs and 2 t1 agility rigs got a total inertia reduction (inculding the effects of mass reduction) to 30% of it's unfitted inertia.
Now with 3 LH istabs and 2 t1 mass rigs it gets 43% of its unfitted inertia.
The transport ship skill could give blockade runners -5% inertia and +5% MWD effeciency per lvl, that would give it maxxed 32.3% of it's unfitted preskill inertia. Not as low as before, but still WELL below what it got before rigs and I haven't seen too many people whining about them then. And actually an higher MWD speed than it had before the latest patch.
Agreed.

/signed and a bump.
Like others I would really like to see a devs POV on this. Even if they're standpoint is that nothing can be done, a simple one sentence post stating that is at least something.
And really, if they are willing to give it a fix, then a few variables is all that need changing (if not only the one). And for that reason I'd hope for a fix pretty soon.

Because some of us actually enjoy low sec and 0.0 trading and hauling, and are uninclined to ebay carrier alts to do what our characters were already trained and capable of doing until a patch busted it.

ROFL, you are either lame for not posting with your main, or you are whining about 0.0 even though you aren't in a corp. LAME. Blockade runners all ready have a damn good bonus, nothing NEEDS to be done. Your ships were too quick before the patch, get over yourselves. Your ship is a hauler, not a fighter.
