Personally, i find it rather interesting that most of the whiners dont seem to read up the info posted by the devs on their favorite ranting topics.
 Originally by: Eight
Microwarpdrives now increase a ship's Signature Radius proportional to the speed boost. This makes them roughly as easy to hit with the MWD active as inactive.
Now, all that is stated here is that a frigate engaging its MWD will not make it harder to hit by just activating the device. But then, I guess, the MWD was never designed as invulnerability device, but more as a Drive Upgrade that enables a ship to reach its destination faster. I bet that if you do not go in a straight line, but try to plot a course that will result in a high traversal speed towards your target, you will again be pretty save from all but the fastest tracking guns. Seems you will need more than the ability to activate a module in the future to avoid enemy fire, and show some wits in combat. so far, fine with me
Originally by: Eight
The 'base' Signature Radius of each class of ship has been changed. Frigates are now 100. Industrials are now 150. Cruisers are now 200. Battleships are now 400.
Now, as many of the whiners keep ranting about the signature reduction bonus getting halfed, I suspect some of them being ex-devs or something. or how the heck do they know the proposed changes to the bonus will have such a big effect with these changed atributes, and different formula, as it would have under present conditions?
or, did someone cry fire without having any insider knowledge but instead back his whining up with some guesses?
now, from what i can see, only one group brought up a valid issue, and that is the proposed changes to missiles.
Changing the missiles speeds without changing their physics as well might hav some dire consequences, but then, as we cannot be sure about that, i would like to see a commment by a dev, clarifying this issue, so we know if we have to mothball our frigates until after the physics changes or not.
Until a dev has clarified as to what is the case however, or until the patch hits tranquility, its useless to cry and whine about it. Save your tears up for the moment we get a definite answer one way or the other
Oh.. an on a final note, all these "i quite" threats(?) get old slowly. either adapt, or if you cant, try some easier game.
