I've always had a problem with Heavy Assault Cruisers hitting the speeds that they can. I was persued by a Vaga the other day that was doing close to 15k. I DO understand that he's probably got high end snakes, overheating and most likely some officer stuff...but where is the "Heavy" in that assault cruiser?

As the above poster mentioned, Web's are the problem, however I believe they should be buffed and come in different sizes. Or, instead of different sizes, have optimal ranges with falloffs like turrets.

Say you have a "Large" webber that can only fit on BS+, it has an optimal of 20-30k, and a falloff of about 20k, anything past the optimal it starts losing it's effectiveness. So maybe at the end of it's falloff it will only be 50% effective in slowing down it's target. The purpose is not to give EVERY ship a 1v1 ability against nano's, but a group of ships using their webs at the edge of falloff would be able to slow down a nano ship enough to hit it.

Right now the best anti-nano ships are from 1 race, yet so many of the races have extremely viable nano ships.

Also, the creation of some very fast light webber/CapNuker drones, or boosting the speed of light tech2 drones will also help with this.

In the end, I feel there has been an injection of far to much obtainable speed, speeds that should only be reached by interceptors.

4 km/s should be only for interceptors? That's a pretty pathetic interceptor that can only do 4 km/s.

giving ratting battleships anti speed fit modules is not the answer you can fit drone mods to speed up your warrior 2's. Giving battleships a 20-30km web is not what I meant by one sized fits all modules being too powerful. Webs allow you to dictate range with a 20-30km webber battleships are on the top of non capital warfare once again.

Giving webs that are specialized and have reduced effectiveness on other ship sizes (capsule,shuttle,frig,destroyer,cruiser,battle cruiser, battleship, capital) will end the need for speed

Not sure what you mean by the "need for speed", which is a CCP initiative to speed up the server performance.

I was brainstorming ideas where more powerful webs could be utilized by larger ships to extend the range in conjunction with a new functionality to further extend ranges with decreased performance. If anything is once size fits all it's the theory of nano'ing...at least beyond the one size fits all argument about webers.

Give the heavy dictor a webifier script for its Warp Disruption field gen. And actually make it a bubble, at least 30km

Won't help so much in low sec, but would be great in 0.0 were nano gangs are rampant.

and suddenly all gate camps become push buttan receive killmail

Ok well lets say it can not be activated in or within 5km of a warp disruption field?

BTW, Marcus TheMartin, STFU up webbs being the end all over powered weapon. You ever used one? yea, 10km range buddy. How do u think you will get a slow BS withen 10 km of any nano ship??? the only way to web them, is if they happen to bump you, are you have a small fleet of huggins/rapiers.
