Not entirely sure why my flycatcher had to get a speed hit. A decent ceptor was already twice as fast as it, and it was by far the slowest dictor. *sigh*

It's so people will fly Heavy Interdictors when they come out. Oh well more training to add to the list.

My hypothesis is that dictor's were nerved because CCP is trying to bring fleets closer together. With scripts nerving sensor boosters, a fleet sitting at 100km will have faster lock times than the fleet set-up for 150+km encounters. Since your snipers are now a mere 100km off the gate, dictor speeds where reduced to give the support a chance to take them out before they get a bubble on the snipers.
Even so, Im not happy about this. The mortality rate of my dictors is sitting around 50%, maybe a little higher. When using them in fleet, I frequently get killed before the hostiles even appear on my overview, so I say give their tank the biggest boost since boosting was invented. A HAC should still have little problem taking them out in a fair fight, but dictor should have enough tank to GTFO.

Support didn't need any help killing 5km/s sabres and they definitely won't need any help killing 3.5km/s sabres. Eagles and Muninns did not really get much of a nerf, even with the script changes.

Edited by: Sharky1116 on 20/11/2007 19:12:42 Granted i am also against this nerf of the dictors (heck i just got my hands on a Sabre!!!) but it now looks like dictors will have to be used mainly in small to medium attack gangs combined with the ceptors... But even a Vaga could close in on a running dictor in those small gangs if this nerf goes through and Fleet battle dictors are even more a sucide ship then it was before!
I thought the whole point of the speed was to escape it own bubble and warp away from the battle and to later rejoin and assist?
*I Think the Dictors will have to use a new tactic from now on... :( *
But maybe with the introduction of the new Heavy Dictors, maybe the primary focus on Dictors will be reduced and switched more towards the newer ships that it could allow the dictors a tad bit more freedom in battle say be able to engage smaller ships such as T1 frigs/cruiser or somewhat quickly getting to a Capital Ship to drop bubbles where a Heavy Dictor would take time to get too...
Maybe a small group of dictors should be safespotted on standby so that after a fleet battle begins they can be called in and acquire new targets and assist in bubbling say the Heavy Dictors go down... thus fleet battle will be more specialized as in its focus more on keeping the Heavy Dictors alive (maybe with logistics ships?) and having the original Dictors as a backup bubble/anti-frigate cruiser attack and tackler support group in contingent with Ceptors?
I guess with this Nerf, it is time for the dictor pilots to adjust their roles and and focus on newer tactics to use in battles... I still see Dictors being invaluable to quick attack groups of small ships raiding a enemy station and taking out 0.0 Ratters and Miners as well as quick gate camping fleets without the support on Mobile Bubbles or Heavy Dictors

Dictors will appear on killmails when bubbling enemies, even without agressing them in any way. So new dictor style will be: jump in/sit on gate while enemy jumps in -> drop a bubble -> sit still and be primaried and die hooribly -> click "refresh" on the killboards.

Dictors will be useless to who? My small gangs can lock down systems with the things. Sure, boohoo, solo pirates arent invincible now, but in gang warfare the dictors are NOT the primary and will probably be the sole survivor. ----------------- Friends Forever

it is true the primary targets of every gang is the enemis ew ships and dictors the suport clear dictors as the main force clear fast the ew. So dictors yes new tactics ect. But man they will be slow no able to tank anything paper thin.They were tricky to fly already what it will be after the nerf. Bulgarian experienced *****ers - the OSS |
