Jack Target The Graduates Brutally Clever Empire	Posted - 2007.12.28 04:58:00 - [1] Is there really going to be a speed nerf or is this just a rumour? Can someone provide a link to the dev blog that says this nerf might happen? I like fast ships, so I'm hoping there will not be a nerf.
Ariel Dawn Beets and Gravy Syndicate	Posted - 2007.12.28 05:04:00 - [2] Doubt it, or if so not a serious one. People just whine about whatever everyone else is complaining about; before there was the 'problem' of people going AFK in their systems while cloaked so they were too scared to rat. Huge threads, now almost non-existent despite no changes made. I wouldn't worry about it, they'll find something new soon.
Wu Jiun	Posted - 2007.12.28 05:06:00 - [3] Edited by: Wu Jiun on 28/12/2007 05:07:20 I think i heard people talking about the live dev blog. Maybe it was mentioned there!? But just looking at the last year and a half or so: ecm whines->ecm nerf nos whines->nos nerf damp whines->damp nerf, td nerf, nerf this and that drone whines->drone nerf speed whines-> ? Well it strikes me as obvious. Speed will get nerfed no matter what the devs tell you now. Good thing is they just boosted ecm and torps so once speed is nerfed there is already the next nerf on the agenda... I am not saying all those changes were bad or uncalled for its just they coincide pretty well with the mass-whines on the forums.
shinsushi	Posted - 2007.12.28 05:19:00 - [4] I would bet they will nerf speed. CCP once said that eve isn't about twitch combat (the first nano-nerf) and that they do not like seeing ships that do not commit to combat (the WCS nerf). I hope they just nerf the hell out of implants and gang-links though. As I see it, if you take those out of the equation things aren't nearly as bad as they appear. A fully T2 vaga w/ polys, 2x OD IIs and 1 x nano II only goes 5.8 km/sec. IDK, maybe the problem is more in the amount of Boost MWDs give, or the lack of signature increase they penalize. Either way, if I was a betting man I would bet that something will be effected. OF course if this effects what you are training, your just a FotM ***** anyway and I don't think anyone cares about the whine.

MotherMoon Huang Yinglong Namtz'aar k'in	Posted - 2007.12.28 05:22:00 - [5] they won't nerf it they will change the way it works. which people will call a nerf. and whine about. while the rest of us will relised that faster ships will go slower and yet be even better at not getting hit. then once everyone figures this out people will whine about speed again and they will change it again. and people will whine thinking ou can't go fast anymore. but us smart players will know better and adapt. and then everyone will figure out how to do it again. so people will whine. and they will nerf once more. thus is eve :) pink supporter!

F'nog Amarr Celestial Horizon Corp. Knights Of the Southerncross	Posted - 2007.12.28 05:43:00 - [8] I think changing speed so that the higher-limit ones aren't so easy to achieve while not effecting the low end at all is a good idea. Whether CCP will screw this up is another thing. Originally by: Kazuma Saruwatari F'nog for Amarr Emperor. Nuff said

shinsushi	Posted - 2007.12.28 05:51:00 - [10] I just want a working counter to everything in the game. Not a OMG 1 module counter 100, just a reasonable counter thats widely available. ECM has it, RSDs have it, TDs have it, Tanking has it, ganking has it, drones have it, speedtanking above 13km doesn't have it, and speed tanking under 13 km has a OMGOVERPOWERED counter. Thats my issue.

EQUINAX Minmatar ECLIPTIC HORIZON	Posted - 2007.12.28 05:51:00 - [11] The only MWD's that should exist in game are the 1MN ones. It's more practical for frigate class ships to have speed, everything else should have enough range or use an afterburner to get there while the frigate holds down the target.

It's more practical for frigate class ships to have speed, everything else should have enough range or use an afterburner to get there while the frigate holds down the target. I don't think I can agree with this. Blasterboats live and die by MWDs, as do minnie ships. I could stand by a reduction in MWD efficiency as they move up in size, but to completely anhilate them would be to destroy a number of play methods, and thats not a good thing.

MWDs on bs's are pretty essential but comparing the 2 bs, 1 with and 1 without an MWD you can see that they are already quite harsh to fit. And yes, speed will be nerfed, the whines say so, the devs just nerd the flavor of the month. The drakes still a wee bit too tanky, but the myrm (which coincidentally, can have trouble scratching a drake) got the nerf, why? because you dont see that many drakes ganking people and the carebear majority love their drakes. So the whines are basically eve vs caldari.

How about just changing ammo according to how far from the target you are? or changing sripts? they only take a second to change you can use the tracking one when close and the optimal range one where far away. pink supporter!

SEE that's why I had my idea for assuslt ships to get a 500% increase to optimal range for blasters only. or auto cannons. pink supporter!

Imperator Jora'h	Posted - 2007.12.28 08:38:00 - [18] Originally by: shinsushi A fully T2 vaga w/ polys, 2x OD IIs and 1 x nano II only goes 5.8 km/sec. Now add in implants and gang bonuses (not sure how fast that is but a fair bit faster). My sense is the speed nerf will come in the form of more/worse stacking penalties. I could be wrong about that though so don't quote me.

I could be wrong about that though so don't quote me. don't forget nano pump rigs. 10 more speed with snakes I think about so about 6.5m/s there. gang bonus to after burner up to 7.5 m/s rig will get that up to 9m/s over heat for another 3000 m/s pink supporter!

Jaketh Ivanes Amarr Do Or Die And Live Or Try The Kano Organisation	Posted - 2007.12.28 08:54:00 - [20] If i remember correctly, MWD's was supposed to be used to close the gap between you and the enemy quickly. As it stands, it is often used as a tank, but orbiting at high speeds. I think the simplest solution to this "problem", is to add an agility penalty when activated. So a vaga can go 6km/s, but can't turn. Blaster boats will not really be affected, as they usually don't want the MWD to continue when they are in range. Anyways, I think its a simple solution if CCP wants a speed nerf.

J Valkor Blackguard Brigade	Posted - 2007.12.28 08:56:00 - [22] Expect a change to how speed stacks and possibly how the MWD works. Interceptors should see the least change but as you get into larger vessels see them become more pronounced.

I despise any mod becoming "necessary." if afterburners gave even 50% more boost with MWD getting a boost even too but they could like only let you almost go nothing but in a straight line. then it would be cool because fast ships could still run away maybe even better at it and smallers ships could move a "safe" speeds without the huge increase to sig radius. pink supporter!

Now this I have to laugh at. ABs used to give a 40% bonus or so. It was increased a while back so you could actually notice when one was used. It was at the same time ABs and MWDs couldn't both be activated on the same ship. So I don't necessarily think ABs need a boost. It's the ultra-high end people doing several km/s in a BS that need looking at. Originally by: Kazuma Saruwatari F'nog for Amarr Emperor. Nuff said

muffminer	Posted - 2007.12.28 10:13:00 - [28] this topic kinda makes me sick. People aren't complaining about the speed of a non-rigged, non-implanted ship? Why? because apparently the people complaining never put the isk or time into it to obtain such speeds. I'm sorry...but if i spend 1-4billion on a full set of implants...and throw 100 mil in rigs and mods to fit my ship...WHY ON ***KING EARTH should someone who DIDN't put that kind of isk, which takes time and effort to produce, be able to "easily" take the person who did out? my unrigged stiletto does 6.5km...i could probably spend 16 mil on crap auxilary thruster I'' and put it in that ship and could tackle any vaga with 1bil in imps...frkkn cheaparse whiners. a charactor SPECIALIZED for his ship that he spent possibly billions to spec for should be able to smoke or avoid a pilot who spread his training out and doesn't want to risk the frikkin hours and hours of time they spent putting their ship and charactor together. GET OVER IT.

GET OVER IT. Now this is just stupid. My problem is that there isn't anything short of capitals that I can spend that kind of money on that isn't a speed-setup, at least if you want it to be a half-way survivable setup. Sure, I could spend a few bil on a Rokh with Pith-X booster and a Crystal set but that is still dead as soon as you run into a 5-man gang with decent setups. I don't like speedy ships but if you give me a multi billion gank or tank setup, that can avoid fights that I don't like the way a snaked-up Vaga can, then you can keep your snakes. Snakes are expensive b/c they are over-powered, not the other way around.
