Looking for feed back about fighters and bombers for PVE havens Post patch

I ran them about 10-15 times daily and have yet to be back out in 0.0 to try them now.

Any difference?

Ive not run anoms, but post patch doing L5's with carrier i lost 3 fighters before they could redock /i could lock them.

Ewar and running reppers did not generate enough 'threat' like some people say works to get aggro on the carrier itself.

I would be interested to hear the Anom side of things as well.

lol,

Got to love ccp scaled everything pve but forgot to scale the isk rewards fallowing that......... so now it looks like drone spec toons are really getting it in the rear. well easy way to keep HC palyers and lose new and younger toon fan base. Risk vs Reward is getting harder to see every patch for pve players and for 1-6 month toons.

I have yet to see if ccps intentions are to try and keep the older toon fan base for ever or............... to rethink they strategy on the other 50% of the game....pve and trying to draw new fan base and toons that are able to see more of the game sooner then later after they have already lost interest.... New blood means new dynamic's in the game. And as a beta tester my self it is something i wish to see more of.

I've run quite a few havens in my carrier, and while the battlecruisers seem to have a fetish for my fighters, I usually don't have a problem with calling the attacked one in and repping it, then either kill the BC attacking or re-launch it to clear aggro. It just requires a little bit more attention.

I'd imagine a tanked alt in some tanky BC (Drake/lolProphecy) trying to grab all the agro with EWAR would solve the issue?
Unless that is not your thing of course.

"We want PvE activities to require active participation and mirror PvP more closely." Stacking penalty for NPC EWAR then? Lock range under 9km from over 100 in a BS is not fun. Nor is two NPC web drones making me crawl 10m/s. PvP SW-900 x5: 75m/s.

This what I'm wondering. I was planning on assigning fighters to a BS and to a tanky BC in forsaken hubs. Will the Battlecruisers target my BC alt or the fighters?

sigpic?

why fighters/fighter bombers?.

why not 15 racial drones vs the npc?

and havens are not the big isk maker.. forsaken hubs are.

just to prove a point. 41.73m isk with just a bs.
