To the 'nano supporters': You need to start going more in-depth with your explanations and realizing that it is not as black & white of a situation as you make it out to be. The same excuses seem to be made every time people bring up nanoships (rapiers, neuts, faction webs, tracking enhancements), when all of these counters seem to be flawed or at most semi-effective. You should look into these counters more and you might see that while some of them are, on paper, valid counters; most of them could use adjustments or even buffs in order to balance them out. For instance, giving other race's ships webbing bonuses, introducing webbing skills, or changing the way MWDs work.
Yeah, well, it is pretty black and white. I don't want to toot my own horn but I've fought on both sides of this nano 'problem' and while fighting nanos is different than fighting non-nanos, it simply doesn't constitute the arguments against it. Nano gangs are the culmination of alot of skill training to put into a fast ship that's a joy to fly up until the point you are webbed at which time you panic because you're about to lose over 200mil isk. And you're right,. these are the same 'excuses' over and over, but wait, they're not excuses, they're solutions that people simply won't do. Tracking mods WORK vs. nanos. Neuts WORK vs. nanos. Webs WORK vs. nanos.
And hell the web should be short range, it's one of the most powerful modules in the game if not the most powerful in day-to-day pvp anyway. If they were to script webifiers, how many of you would opt for the half-range, double strength script? Yeah, damn strait you wouldn't, and after all why would you? The only ships in the game that get bonuses to web range are as fragile as glass and for good reason, webs are a dangerous thing and the only real way to get out of a web is to web in turn and mwd out, jam the webber but jamming seems to be only viable on Caldari Recons and Scorps, or destroying the webbing vessel. Upping the range of webbers would break Inties, again, so soon after they've returned to the battlefield, and probably cause no reason to purchase any hac save the Falcon and Rook whatsoever.
