I've seen lots of complaints that blasterboats would be nerfed by these changes, however I don't think it changes much.
For example:
Battleship is moving at 800m/s towards its target, it comes within 10km, web hits, it slows to 500m/s by the time he hits the 7.5km/s scrambler where his MWD gets cut, he continues to drift closer to his target (because he has also cut off his targets MWD and webbed him with his own web/scrambler) and well within to optimal range. The fight is now exactly as before except web is slightly less effective, so if the smaller ship is using an AB instead of a MWD, they choose their fit correctly and therefore should have an advantage in this case.
Not only does this encourage more evenly matched fights due to the fact that most ships move at the same speeds, this would work across all ship types (Frigate, Cruiser, BC, BS, etc) equally as the physics are a constant variable.
Unless I drastically mis-read the patch notes (which is possible) I don't think the blasterboats are getting much of a nerf at all.
Are you suggesting that Blasterships should all be equipping scramblers instead of disruptors with the patch change?

I want to know why being scrambled at 7.5km is "the end" for blaster boats. I would assume this is sufficiently close that you can either be in range or web/scram them yourself to get closer.

Quite often before you are in this range, the target will have had a chance to warp off. In my experience a 24km disruptor has been pretty essential to a blaster ship unless you only fly in larger groups. If you fly in large gangs it wouldn't be an issue.

Blasters in general have fallen behind. It's time they received a buff, something like ridiculous damage output.
Go up against a well fit Kronos and tell me that again. My corp mate utterly destroys ships with it :|
oh i agree, kronos right now is a very nice ship.

Basically, its a big nerf to solo blasterthron pilots. You'll see solo blasterthron pilots switch to hyperions because of their extra mids. For those who don't solo with blasterships, but still fly them in gangs, the web nerf won't really matter.

It is a boost. Nobody is going to fit a MWD for the fear of it being switched off. Now the CS pilot will be able to downgrade the MWD to a AB and have extra room (PG/CPU).
Max damage baby
lol.... have fun never getting in optimal range if you put an AB on a mega or astarte for that matter.
