They talk and talk, and end up coming to crazy conclusions. It's a little like mass hysteria on a team level.
Seriously.
The speed nerf, is this some sort of bizarre joke without a punchline?
The ships worst hit are battleships. Amarrian battleships for example now have a lower base speed than the Nidhoggor. Gallente blaster ships now take FOUR TIMES longer getting into range.
None of us deny that nanohacs are annoying, or that light missiles and drones should be able to hit the targets they are designed to. That is fine.
But who the hell ever said there was a problem with battleships speed and agility? There simply isn't. They're being turned into flying bricks with all the agility and speed of dreads.
It's clearly ridiculous. It clearly isnt needed. It is surely an unintended consequence of a poorly thought out plan, put together by intelligent people in the grip of some kind of bizarre hysteria.
Fix light drones. Fix light missiles. Boost afterburners. Reduce HAC speed if you must. But leave battleships out of it, beacuse you're about to break the game.

If they do all the other changes no need to change base speed and mass on any ship if you ask me.
So how do you propose that blaster ships should actually work?
How do you consider it reasonable that battleships have similar base speeds to carriers?

I for one think blaster ships will be getting a boost as will gallente ships in general. I'll be keeping the reason's why to myself so i can pwn people in the face but the mega, dominix, taranis and arazu will all be better ships after the patch.
You're going to have to qualify this a little, because as a mostly gallente spec'd character I'm simply unable to reach the same conclusion.
I would agree if it were simply a speed reduction (to a point), hwoever when combined with other factors such as web nerf and scram changes... being a blaster pilot is going to be pure misery and 100% suicide.
Arazu's will be more effective from a scram perspective, but their EWAR is still as useless as ever (well, not ever, prior to the damp nerf they were actually good ewar boats). But thats another subject.
I'm specifically talking about the effect of reduced agility and speed on close range battleships, and how this change is neither wanted or needed. Nano-BS simply are not an issue in the way they once where, so I find the impact of this change highly undesirable.

Read first, flame later.
Yes I really didn't read your post at all did I, my apologies.
