I listened to the dev blog, what, 2, maybe 3 weeks ago, and it was mentioned in passing. Scared the hell out of me.
Can anyone point me in the direction of more concrete information?
As a Gallente, I have to wonder if all the devs are Caldari and Amarr.

dont assume caldari greatness, missiles will almost undoubtedly get over-nerfed, and rails arent as yummy now with the optimal rig nerfs EVE history

Are you aware that this nerf would hit caldari harder than gallente ? With their small dronebays and bandwidth caldari battleships can't use 5 heavy drones, so they depend on medium drones, while gallente battleships won't be affected much. If they nerf medium drones, they should nerf heavy drones too imho, otherwise gallente battleships will gain an unfair advantage again.

Unfair advantage?

Here you go.
Originally by: CCP Nozh Small update:
We changed the interceptor signature radius bonus to "15% reduction in MicroWarpdrive signature radius penalty per level". So, it'll make speed tanking with a MWD a lot easier, it will however still be a bit better to use an afterburner if you're aiming for minimum damage.
Medium drones were tracking small targets a bit too well. So we increased their optimal signature radius to 125 and increased their tracking by a factor of 1.6x, resulting in an overall -23.2% reduction in effective tracking. The improvement was quite noticeable, we were still able to use them to kill frigates, but it took a while longer.
These changes should become available on Singularity later today.
Next up:
We're testing ships with MWD, missile precision and explosion velocity bonuses to see whether they need any tweaking.

Hey you know guys, if they nerf everything... then won't it be the same as it is now?

No.
Well, they'd have to really nerf *everything*, which is not going to happen. Just a few threads back I was explaining to someone why everyone being slowed down but relative speed advantages (percentages) staying the same is far from 'everything being the same as it is now'.

The Devs are all Jovian, and all their alts are BoB.
And everyone in Eve is either a BoB alt or a Chribba alt. Some of us just don't know it yet.
Chribba is not a Dev alt by the way.
As for them helping Amarr/Caldari.. Well for Amarr it's because for a while all we were good for was taking it up the butt. Caldari I have no idea TBFH but oh well. --------- Your bad loan management perfectly strikes the stock market, wrecking for -777.68 points. Eve job list |

May i point out that it is no rig-nerf but simply a fix. AMarr never should have gotten these ridiculous ranges anyway ________________________________________________

And those drone changes do not look so terrible to me; the dev explanation was spot on. I'd been a bit anxious hearing about this 'drone nerf' the past two weeks (next to Gallente, Amarr are the 2nd most-dependent drone race). People were saying that drone base damage was going to be reduced, but in fact they are merely adjusting tracking to reflect game mechanics altered by the speed balancing.
The biggest issues on Sisi regarding the speed changes were in regards to missiles and drones. Looks like CCP is doing a good job of addressing both. -- Meridius Dex --

Thanks Vaal.
I am curious how this will work against interceptors, but guess I will know soon enough.

Yah. And tbh I rather see all nerfs than all boosts.

The nerf makes sense, even if it hits me as a Gallente. The current scaling of drone signature resolution is very strange.
