So, what happened to the promised changes to the curse and pilgrim to stop them being totally screwed by this patch? Did CCP forget altogether or have they just lost interest in listening to what its paying customers think. Please refrain from starting dev blogs CCP, you dont pay any attention to what is said in them so all you do is waste your paying customers' time, leaving valid issues unanswered. Another victory for the whiners i think. :(

As noted above, the ships still retain a significant advantage since they can neutralize cap more efficiently. Ships such as the curse can mitigate the Nosferatu equilibrium by spreading out the nosferatus and concentrate the neutralizers on a single target. If the fitting requirements on the neutralizers don't get adjusted in general, then we will most likely boost the fitting on these ships a bit since they have to be able to support neutralizers in order to function properly.
From page 33 of the dev blog. It took me a fair amount of time to find, as i said, CCP certainly don't appear to have spent a lot of time reading the comments or addressing them.
I guess i will park my amarr recons in my "museum to redundant ships" and wait for the next ship to get nerfed by an organisation that listens to whining noobs who want to blame the game mechanics when they lose a ship instead of the fact that they picked the wrong fight.
Damn right I'm upset.

So, lets say you are a pilot who has trained for a very long time to get into a Curse/Pilgrim. The Curse and Pilgrim have bonuses for nosferatu. Are you suggesting that Curse/Pilgrim pilots ought to have fitted something else? CCP invented the ship for the purpose of cap warfare, why would any sane individual fit it any other way? Would you fit hybrids to it or maybe a mining laser? The whiners win again, with another two ships consigned to the scrap heap. It appears that you would prefer to have just the ships that you fly being left as they are so I'll look forward to seeing a future dev blog when you are whining about a ship that you fly being neutered and i will remind you of your parting words.

I agree that something needed to be done to reduce the power of nos, particularly when used by non-specialist ships like the Dominix. However, this nerf will not hurt Dominix pilots as their neutdomis will probably be just as powerful, with their ability to fit a cap booster and they have a cargobay big enough to fit the charges.
Your analogy of the ECM nerf is interesting as the impact on the ecm specilist ships was reduced largely by CCP when they created those low-slot signal distortion modules to improve ecm strength. On top of the bonuses that the Rook/Falcon already got, albeit in exchange for damage mods in the lows, this allowed the ecm recons to largely retain their role. I see no such amendment made for the cap warfare recons and so you might be pleased to hear that my Curse and Pilgrim will be consigned to the hangar until CCP realise they've picked the wrong option. I can but hope.
As far as the "stalking" goes, killboards are a wonderful source of information and I found your comments interesting also. Just one day to wait, then your Sabre will be able to kill a Curse, in all likelihood, as you will be able to keep your mwd running to outrun his drones. That's balance i guess. :(
