A flat 80% reduction is way overboard in my opinion, should be 50%.
A sensor booster/signal amplifier is required now if you're going to fit a faction disruptor or fly with a command ship, so that's too bad again for the Ares who has to make do with the crap one (sig amp). Still with stock T2 it'll be much improved.

Looks like the MWD/disruptor/EWofchoice inty will be a popular tackling choice when this hits TQ. (Unless you fly Gallente.) It's too bad you guys are nerfing RSDs before inties get a chance to be overpowered with them.

I forgot to mention that we're of course looking into the Ares as well in regards to slot layout :)
That's interesting to hear. Do you think it likely that you'll have decided whether to change the Ares before you introduce these new bonuses?
Also, does the altered Roden Shipyards description mean that you are considering reassessing the rest of the Pink Fleet?

In my opinion, the 'combat' interceptors (Taranis, Crow, Crusader, Claw) should receive no more than a 50% reduction in cap usage, if any.

cruisers and BCs won't be able to do a damned thing to 'ceptors after this patch. They don't have the range with weapons and neuts.
I think you raise a perfectly valid point here.
Would you think these changes were more suitable if light- and medium-sized sentry drones were introduced, and the light versions had good enough tracking/range to ward off a solo mwding interceptor at 20-30km? Regular light drones would still have the advantage of maneuverability and the ability to hit inties close-up, but the sentry versions would take the role of ranged tackler defence.
Alternatively (or additionally), perhaps if Drone Navigation Computers were changed from a medslot to a highslot, people could use one instead of a neut and make Warrior II's fast enough to harrass an interceptor. I don't know how much use these modules really see with their current slot, but I wouldn't be suprised if they became more popular when people became able to fit them in a spare highslot.
Neither of these changes would be designed to melt a tackler in seconds, but instead to do enough damage to dissuade lone 20km tacklers from engaging for more than, say, twenty to thirty seconds while backup arrives.
