This is unclear :

GÇóXL turrets have had their signature resolution set to 2000m.
GÇóCapital Turrets that are fitted to titans now have a new damage-scaling attribute; targets with a signature radius smaller than this size will take reduced damage from these turrets. This does not apply to dreadnaughts.

Right now, dreadnoughts have XL turrets, and those turrets already have a damage-scaling attribute, everything with a sig radius under 1000m ( their current sig resolution ) taking a reduced damage.

Bottom line, will this modification affect the turrets fitted on dreadnoughts or not ?

Sig resolution doesn't affect damage, it only affects tracking. The sig resolution changes will affect dreadnaughts (but there's no difference in siege because of the tracking penalty removal); the damage scaling won't.

like how you ask this question and it actually states "This does not apply to dreadnaughts."

still needs clarification on drone alloys that have already dropped and are in hangars etc.

- after DT, will these still appear in hangars if there already before DT?

- will these still repro into the relevent minerals?

edit: seems it mght be in a blog, off for a look.

Actually, according to this formula, it is an independent parameter
http://wiki.eve-id.net/Tracking
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Turret_damage
""Turret Signature Resolution" is a number qualifying the originally intended target size (in meters) of your gun turret. The smaller the number, the better your chance to hit will be. "


So how is this formula transformed for siege mode ?

Hand-on testing : trying to hit with a dread ( naglfar ) a battleship ( apoc ) orbiting at 20km . After boosting and using the right ammo, the tracking speed of dread's turrets is 0.0063806 rad/sec, while the overview window shows only 0.0058207 rad/sec ( LOWER ) for the target battleship. The optimal range is 56.247 km and accuracy falloff 133.52 km. Out of over 50 shots, NOT EVEN ONE landed on target - all missed. And this before the patch. Obviously the perfect tracking speed boost is nothing to compensate for the signature radius versus signature resolution parameter. And this before the patch.

The sig/sig ratio is multiplied by the transversal/tracking*range ratio. Halving the tracking doubles the size of the second ratio, and doubling the size of the second ratio is the same as doubling the size of the first ratio. Halving tracking speed is the same as doubling sig resolution. Honestly it's completely redundant mathematically to have both terms as they're both static authored values that have the same mechanical effect, but there are benefits for the "readability" of the balance work to having both.

I agree to that, but right now the dreads are hardly effective against battleships ( requiring 3-4 target painters to actually hit them ). With the new change, they will be completely useless. Usually in eve every ship is efficient against ships the same size or one size smaller. What will the dreads be good for ?

Dread tracking in siege is not being changed at all. Titan Tracking is being nerfed. So Dreads are in a relative boost. It isn't that hard to read and figure out :)

Tracking and sig resolution are different parameters. That's why i asked how that corumla changes for the siege on dreads.

BTW and are dreads only used in siege mode ?

with their silly 1000- or so dps when not in siegue mode... uh yes?

so extended downtime for nothing ?!

CCP - Y U NO MAKE PROPER PATCH

They're still supposed to be dropping from Drone missions. There's no reason to completely remove them.

The sig/sig ratio is multiplied by the transversal/tracking*range ratio.

If you're not following the other thread, The Capital changes just boosted dreads performance vs sub capitals, and provided virtually no change to titans vs BS/BC platforms. Guess it wasn't "Capital Ships Online" enough already.

If you read the patch notes you will see that they also changed the formula for titans so that ships with a lower sig radius than the gun's resolution take less damage. AKA: the perma MWD drakefleets with the sig radius of a fleet of carriers are still ******.

Modules are sorted on the market by decreasing metalevel. So when you scroll down you should see increasingly more awesome modules.

The overview is now sorted correctly directly after undocking.

It seems to me that the modules should be sorted by increasing metalevel. This way, more commonly used modules (T2) are more readily available near the top of the list rather than requiring that you scroll past various numbers of officer, deadspace, faction, and storyline modules that may or may not exist for that type.

Uh, I'm confused.

The patch notes say decreasing metalevel, but the words say increasing.
Your counter flips both.
I want the list in increasing order where metalevel 0 is first such that the theoretical cheapest and least powerful is listed first.
