You're still going to be slaughtered by players who can fit, fly and fight better than you.
(Nanofans should also be aware of this.)

No you didnt. Nanos cant be killed and need a nerf.

I'm just saying that all those "drinking delicious nanfan tears" are failing to realise that they'll still have to get their passive drakes within 7.5Km of their targets... and that "broken speed" was not the only reason why they were getting owned.

Shush, don't tell them that. When they're getting owned after nanos have been nefed they might re-evaluate their opinions (or yell for a ECM nerf/webber buff), and in the meantime we can laugh at blaster boats.

The problem is not so much a nano ship as it is a large number of nano ships. Nano gank squads can still rip apart a BS in no time, especially multiple Ishtar nanos that can deploy a massive payload in term of heavy drones and then avoid any real consequences.

So you disqualify losing 4.5M to 10M in drones every fight as "no real consequnce"? In that case, can I have some ISK?

Killing one is easy, killing lots of them are not so easy.
I think the biggest problem of late is the sheer number of morons who think nano=invincible, you still need half a brain to fly a nano well and know the limitations. The number of people in a nano that have tried to tackle my Domi and have had their cap drained, webbed and scrambled just makes me shake my head in bewilderment.
The power of the nano is ultimately the ability to pick and choose your target far easier than any conventional build and it is far easier to avoid the consequences of conflict if you aren't an idiot.

Drones are just like any form of ammunition. When I fly Caldari ships I spend more than that on faction ammo than I do on drone loses in my Domi.
You will make 4.5m in one belt, a few belts if you are in some shithole regions. That kind of money is really extremely trivial.

Very true, and very good. 
This is the way it should be. The difference is, now we'll see varied tactics, and varied ships on the field. Better tactics still win the day (not f1-f8). HACs are still much more mobile than BCs, BS, etc, while dishing out considerable DPS... and, if people start tanking them, absorbing quite a bit as well.
I think people have forgotten what a non-nano HAC can do, and are thinking they'll still nanofit once it becomes less usable, and thus be useless. They're still capable of fast strikes, they're just not frigate speed. And they shouldn't be.
High speed, "wolf pack" tactics (pouncing on anyone who strays too far from the blob, picking them off, then retreating) are still viable.. for the ships they were intended for. Frigates. Interceptors, bombers for DPS, assault ships (now that webs aren't suicide), and even tech1 frigates.. light, fast, more agile than any nano ship was...
But without the cruiser DPS and tank. In other words, the tactic is still viable, but you can no longer do it with a heavy assault ship. Heavy. Assault. Not intended to be light skirmish craft. That's what your frigates are for.
Edit: I had to add an irony I've noticed. Nano pilots always spewed the "Adapt or Die" line. Now, whingeing. What, it's not fun when you have to adapt your playstyle, too?

This. The newbie whiners are just going to get their asses handed to them in a different manner. Then they'll begin whining about that.
It's also a shame the whiners win again! A handful of people get their way because they wreck the forums with many many repeated posts while the normal people don't want to see the forums ruined by adding more crap against it. So they just ignore the crap. _______________

Truth is, a good pilot can make any ship seem overpowered. You find someone who is good flying a dessie, and you'd never believe that they are a crap ship. Somethings only seem impossible for the rest of us. Flying a ship is as much the skills as it is the fitting and the MINDSET of the pilot.
Even with the best nano setup in the world, I'd probably still be killed quickly. I just don't think of flying in that way.
On the flipside, I still don't think that the concept or use of nanos was overpowered. I didn't think the old stabs were overpowered, nor the huge armor resists from before that. I think these new proposed changes are nice, but the real deal is that there needs to be multiple, equally valid options, other than DPS or nano.
Let me stab, uber tank, nano ... whatever suits me. But don't leave one above all others in effectiveness.

There's a 10 letter word that may help you against nano gangs: 'friendship'
You see, if you had this mythical bond between a few people you would have 5 or 6 neuting battleships; not just one, on your own, against a nano-gang... _______________

The skunk has this one.
Hacs are not BS and do not and should not make up the main firepower of any fleet.
too fast = no defence. and dont give me that anti-nano effectiveness bullshit, if ccp got off their arse to do something everything is NOT okay.
and i do actually fly nanos, lets face it who doesnt.

No offense to CCP, but what choice would they have with soo many whiners. What they seem to fail to notice is that people only come to make posts like that when they have a problem. As posts keep coming the people who are around stop defending because it's pointless to fight the same crap arguements day after day. The people who don't have a problem don't show up until something really poorly thought shows up like the dev blog. Now we're seeing the people who realize how stupid this whole thing is showing up. Sorry, but your opinion is flawed because it doesn't take into consideration how biased the forums are. _______________

The same can be said of the CSM. It's made up of people out to change EVE and doesn't fairly take into account the people who like things the way they are. It's why I've always urged CCP to take everything the forums and the CSM say with a grain of salt.
Not really. It just means the anti nano crowd is placated because they know things are going to change, while the nano crowd that was happy in their broken ships, is now the forum whiners. Nothing more.
For example: I've always felt nano's were bad overall. As such I read almost every nano thread posted for the last couple months. I have never seen you untill the nerf was announced. In other words you were happy and silent, now you're whining with the best of them in every nano thread.

Really? I've been pretty prominent on these forums for the last 2 years. I've made a lot of posts and have been in a lot of the major posts. You may not have made notice to my name, but i've been around. Also you'd prove my point if you were right. Many people don't show up until they have a problem. The whiners showed up then because they had a problem. I still believe the problem firmly rests with them. Now the nanousers show up, after the fact, because they're the ones with the problem.
The discussions seemed one sided then only because the other side just wasn't around because they didn't have a problem. Notice how both sides are in the discussion now? However as far as I've seen most of the people on the other side of the discussion are far less experienced and their posts are often based of falicies. 20km/s vagabond anyone? Yeah, not realistic. _______________
