 I appreciate the current patch changes to balance high speed BS, (although it's very expensive to do, so what's to balance??)
 
 But why ruin the interseptors? My 9km/s Claw, only because of propellant vent rigs, that i busted my hump to get salvage for, max skills, and a couple modest implants, and just a T2 MWD.
 
 Well now it's a useless piece of CR********P.
 
 Now I have these cheap aux thrusters, and the best I can do with nano structure IIs and a local overdrive is just over 7km/sec with very poor acceleration. So I have to drop the overdrive and fit one local inertial just to turn and warp out at a reasonalbe
 speed.
 
 An inty only survives pirate gate camps if it can do a combination of speed and agility. Having to choose speed OR agility is completely wrong.
 
 If CCP wanted to balance the BS speeds, then why did they screw with the interseptors?
 
 TomB says he appologises for exchanging propulsion vents for cheap aux thrusters.
 
 I DO NOT ACCEPT THE APPOLOGY! PLEASE GIVE ME BACK THE SALVAGE MATERIALS, AND I WILL CHOOSE A BETTER RIG SET UP !!!!!!!!

 If you want something changed, stay reasonable, back it up with facts and info instead of ranting.

 Try experimenting with different setups? If you can't get a claw over 7k/s then something is rather wrong...

 lmao .. this thread has imho too much of *whine whine rabble rabble whine some more*
 
 you're unhappy that you can "only" do 7km/s?
  
 hey .. i fly shortrange-fitted 'ceptors - i'm happy when i reach speeds above 4km/s.
 
 oh and only for your information - i never lost an interceptor to a gatecamp because i was too slow - i only lost them so far because i screwed up. (well .. one or two 1v1 excluding but those i lost because of not enough damage output on my side)
 
 so stop being retarded.

 is this directed at me?
 
 if yes:
 shortrange 'ceptors like blasteranis, AC claw with all nanos/i-stabs/overdrives in the lowslots are dead. plain and simple. no "tank" (in other words: DC, maybe SAR or plate) get you killed really fast against ships that shoot back at you - the only reason i'd fit nanos/i-stabs/overdrives on such a setup would be no spare fitting but a free slot.
 
 and no - i'm not running a plate on my interceptor setups. DC + SAR is my preference.

 Yeah.. Nobody whined "that inties was too slow" when there was no faction gears, faction implants and rig slots. On the countrary they was considered overpowered.
 
 Bah.. People are never happy.

 tbh 7kms is still plenty for a ceptor to do. and how fast u can go is really only important in comparison to how fast other ships can go. every ship is slower so it's not a big deal. u'll still be faster than 99% of ships u come across probably.
 
 and how can u not avoid a gatecamp going at that speed?

 Shouldn't have invested in something that was broken and everyone knew that it was gonna be changed.
 
 BTW, my regular inties do around 4km, so 7km is already more than enough.

 Great comments, I pretty much agree with everyone, thanks.
 
 I edited out the ranting, in the first post but left in the retarded parts just to stay honest.
  
 I still think we should have gotten our salvage back instead of an arbitrary, manditory swap out?
 sort of like getting a glass of milk as refund for a pint of beer.
 
 The salvage for propulsion vents can be used in the more expensive housing rig for weight reduction.
 The salvage for aux thrusters is all easy to get cheap stuff.

 The point of going fast isn't to outrun people - its to outrun the damage. Only a ranis or a Jaeger claw actually use's 'conventional' tanking.
 
 Precision light missiles have an explo.vel. of 3k/s, and with the way target motion prediction works... rather than increasing missiles explo velocity, it reduces the target's velocity in the damage calculation. meaning @ lvl 5 you speed is actually half of what you think it is in terms of missile damage, as opposed to simply making the missiles ex.vel. 50% faster... which would have a significantly smaller effect.
 
 This means that travelling at 6k/s you will still recieve full missile damage. Also precision light missiles do 100% damage, unlike every other class of precision missiles, which do 85% of the t1 predecesor. Your only chance is to really outrun the missile itself, which when you are dealing with a ship like the crow is practically impossible, as its possible to get the velocity to 7.5K/s.
 
 Thats my main gripe with the change to speed mods. If target motion prediction was changed to give a 10% bonus to missile velocity per level rather than making the targets velocity 10% less of a factor per level then i'd be alot happier.
 
 My 2 cents.

 I think it's very irritating to almost completely outrun missile damage.
 
 I don't fly caldari in pvp anymore, but I remember over a year ago I've been chasing a sensor boosted missile crow with my missile crow. He mwd'ing away from me and I followed.
 My light missiles didn't reach him, his light missiles hit me, but couldn't break my shield recharge rate. That was stupid.
 Similar stupid as outrunning precision cruise, so that their damage is reduced to 0.5 or so. The effect is too strong.
 
 And I think that missiles should travel with x thousand m/s relative to the ship that fires them and not with 'absolute' speed (you know what I mean).
 
 So if a crow chases a crow and both fly 10.000 m/s, then you shouldn't overtake your own missiles, but they should still travel forward with x-thousand m/s and hit.
 ( I don't care about the eve pseudo fluid dynamics universe here. It would look and feel a lot better, if the missiles travel with a fixed relative speed forward, when you fire them instead of that you overtake them right after firing and leave them behind, because they are slower than you )

 Erm, I don't see the point.
 Turrets won't hit either if your target is too fast and it's transversal too high.
 So why should missiles always hit? Why shouldn't there be a case where they don't?

 LOL, you must be lucky to only have retarded gatecampers.
 
 I had been through this gate camp routeenly unscathed until this day.
 
 You would never survive this:
 
 [ 2007.03.09 22:08:23 ] (combat) (Rokh)tiller [SNOWY]'BOOM HEADSHOT' hits you, doing 337.5 damage.
 [ 2007.03.09 22:08:23 ] (combat) (Rokh)tiller [SNOWY]'BOOM HEADSHOT' hits you, doing 337.5 damage.
 
 At this point, within 2 seconds I'm accelerating past 8km/s with transversal in the thousands on all hostiles. The only thng that saves me is the COMBINATION of speed AND agility.
 
 [ 2007.03.09 22:08:25 ] (notify) Useless: You have foolishly engaged in criminal activity within sight of sentry guns and must suffer the consequences.

 [ 2007.03.09 22:08:35 ] (combat) (Revelation)Sprungle Spormen [SNOWY]'Commander Swuggles' lands a hit on you which glances off, causing no real damage.
 [ 2007.03.09 22:08:35 ] (combat) (Revelation)Sprungle Spormen [SNOWY]'Commander Swuggles' misses you completely.
 
 3-10 seconds later, cruising at 9Km/s+:
 At this point I'm safe from close range damage and getting pecked at by the snipers.
 
 Now that my interseptor is fatally nerfed, I can never reliably bust through that gate camp again.
 I say again, the interseptor needs speed, agility, AND quick acceleration to defeat a good gatecamp.
 By reducing the speed modules to only single attributes, we loose the ability to make the correct combinations to ensure survival.
 CCP's action to futher hobble the Minatar Claw is UNbalanced and UNfair.
 I rest my case, OUT.

 You have a claw, maxed out skills, implants for speed, and auxiliary thruster rigs, yet you can only reach 7 km/s?
 
 I have decent skills (Navigation at 4 and the acceleration skill at 3) and no implants. And my Ares (with lower base speed than the Claw) can reach around 6.5 km/s after the patch (with 3 auxiliary thrusters rigs, 3 beta overdrive injectors, 1 beta nanofiber, and an mwd II).
 
 I don't see how a you could not get over 7 km/s with all of what you said you have.

 Yes, with Local overdrives I can get 8Km/s but it accelerates and turns so slowly that it can't get out of range fast enough.
 Also, the claw only has 2 rig slots.
 
 Jarjar > Ratey: Uhh... A properly flown interceptor would have been in jump range *WAY* before either a Rokh or a Revelation () would have been able to target you... The only danger is smartbombs."
 
 I talking about leaving the gate after jumping though. At this gate camp, ships only warp away if the hostile is busy with other ships and target saturated.
 
 SmallgreenBlur > Next time, try flying back to the gate and jumping out. If you feel you should be able to jump past a well-prepared gate camp and just mwd away without a care in the world, well, you're playing the wrong game :)"
 
 Not sure what you mean, but at this gate camp, you can not just warp away. THE only way is to pick a direction that will give you max transversal to all hostiles, then the instant you uncloak and the speed builds, hit the MWD, and in less than 2 seconds, you need to be out of webber, nos, and close range weapons, in the next few seconds, you have to be out of 20km scram range, Then you need to continue to 200km out of sniper range. You can not start warp in sniper range, because the speed drops to 0 for a moment, and they can get a lucky wrecking shot on you.
 
 eh, if you don't routeenly jump through heavily camped gates with multiple insta-lock threats, medium/heavy close range weapons, and multiple snipers, then I cant relate to your comment. ALSO, what do you think you're going to do in a warp bubble?? You HAVE to MWD away.

 Well, if it's crazy fast acceleration you want, then you should be able to get that, but max speed is not that important then as long as it is several km/s.
 
 
 
  Quote: Also, the claw only has 2 rig slots.
 
 
 Yeah, I meant 2. All tech 2 ships have only 2 slots. I was confused when I wrote that I had 3.

 I think he means that the game shouldn't necessarily allow you to do the things that you seem to take for granted that you should be able to do with your interceptor.

 He did not say "warp" but jump. You know that you can use a gate you just jumped through again, do you? It takes a speed fitted ceptor approximately 2 seconds to get back on the gate, they can have a tripple sensorboosted huggin and you will still make it and be able to jump back to the system where you came from and warp away.
 
 And as Ryysa said, your setup is ****ty, thats the reason you have bad speeds. My stiletto has around 7.8 km/s with that setup. With a claw I would get 8.5 km/s. With 90% of the agility I had prepatch with 2 vent rigs and 2 instabs.

 Wait a second, you're telling us you flew away from the gate? Congratulations, you've just lost all credibility...
 
 As well as the fact that it takes ceptors about 3 seconds to accelerate and jump, flying away would make it even easier for your aggressors to hit you.

 is this directed at me?
 
 if yes:
 shortrange 'ceptors like blasteranis, AC claw with all nanos/i-stabs/overdrives in the lowslots are dead. plain and simple. no "tank" (in other words: DC, maybe SAR or plate) get you killed really fast against ships that shoot back at you - the only reason i'd fit nanos/i-stabs/overdrives on such a setup would be no spare fitting but a free slot.
 
 and no - i'm not running a plate on my interceptor setups. DC + SAR is my preference.
 
 
 They were dead over year ago. Speed is the interceptor's tank, and losing that proves to be very unforgiving. Do inties still have speed? Yes. Do they have the agility? Well, slightly less now. Does it hurt them on a grand scale of things? Not really.
 Because it was never intended for ships to go above 10km/s, yes, even inties.
 I hope they'll introduce some sort of stacking for boosters, so we won't see fgt crows flying 20km/s +

 I've run many, many gatecamps (mainly bubble camps) in my Taranis which from memory goes around 3.5km/s. I dont see how you cant get a claw out of a lowsec camp... You don't need nanos, you dont need overdrives or inertia stabilizers. All you need is an MWD.
 
 There was a time before we had snakes, before we had rigs, before mass-reduction mods etc. you know. Inties pretty much topped out at 5km/s back then, and people still managed to run gatecamps in them fine. I dont see what the problem is. Interceptors aren't 'ruined'.

 How retarded can one person possibly be to let a Revelation target their interceptor?
 
 Not sure anything you say is credible OP. Since it appears that you suck at Eve.

 I appreciate the current patch changes to balance high speed BS, (although it's very expensive to do, so what's to balance??)
 
 But why ruin the interseptors? My 9km/s Claw, only because of propellant vent rigs, that i busted my hump to get salvage for, max skills, and a couple modest implants, and just a T2 MWD.
 
 
 Now I have these cheap aux thrusters, and the best I can do with nano structure IIs and a local overdrive is just over 7km/sec with very poor acceleration. So I have to drop the overdrive and fit one local inertial just to turn and warp out at a reasonalbe
 speed.
 
 An inty only survives pirate gate camps if it can do a combination of speed and agility. Having to choose speed OR agility is completely wrong.
 
 
 TomB says he appologises for exchanging propulsion vents for cheap aux thrusters.
 I would rather have the salvage material to make my own choice.
 
 
 
 Hahahaa what a joke!
 
 My crap interceptor barely pokes 3Km/s tbh - and I have NEVER had a problem running ANY gate camp, including all sorts of bubblecamps.

 Yeah but the problem this dude has is he tries to run away from the gate, rather than back to it. Ergo he dies, because the gang at the gate has ceptors too, and probably a minnie recon as well.

 Just thought I point out that there is a huge difference between having speed and no agility and speed with agility.
 
 That is all...

 Exactly, the current patch makes it excessivly difficult to setup the claw for a combination of speed, agility, AND acceleration.

 ?? Who said anything about dying? They never got me yet. The point is that after the patch, I cant risk it anymore because the ship is nerfed now. No the camp doesn't have ceptors. The gate is surrounded by ships that instalock the very instant you uncloak.
 
 Some of you people are really inexperienced and have only had to deal with lame gate camps (3 km/s, boy are you in for a surprise
  . ) 
 Some of you guys are confused about, how it used to be, compared to how bad it is now.

 Marquis, you're the joke. This is what happens the very instant a ship decloaks AFTER you have jumped through the gate, INTO the system.
 
 Can you see the time stamp? Pretty much 337.5 hp/s the very instant you decloak.
 
 No I didnt loose my ship, whats wrong with you people?
 
 This is great advice, Thanks! Although I don't need a cap relay to run mwd all day.

 That's exactly what I said. I want my salvage materials back so that I can build the Engine Housing rig instead. They use the same materials, but a larger amout. The aux thrusters that they shoved at us are cheap.

 Which you won't get.
 
 While I fully agree that CCP should switched vents with housings - not only are thrusters significantly cheaper but also completely usless for 95% of all setups since they share a stacking penality with ODs - well, they didn't do that. **** happens. I myself also spent 200 mil on housings due to that. It sucks, but is hardly worth the effort opening a whinethread.
 
 And exept for that the nanonerf was really perfectly fine.Interceptors most certainly were not ruined by it.

 My 4.3km/s Malediction only lost to one thing. Lag. That's the only camp that ever claimed an inty of mine.

 Those hits by me are faction smart bombs, you were just unlucky to decloak within 7.5km.
 
 Btw, if you warp to 0 or 15 in anything smaller than a cruiser in a camp where I'm bombing you are pretty much assured loss of your ship and pod. Sometimes lag on bomb activation can save you though. Often over 100 people die to bombs alone in a single camp......makes posting up the kill mails a real PITA lol
