And it's equally likely that you'd hit 25 times. What's your point?

Ok, my mistake.
But read this again:

+1.5% with 2 overheated modules is not a boost, 2 modules of 4-5 active won't let to use overheat adequately. Overheating modules which are meant to be active for very long periods - is absurd.


Increase by 2% for several seconds? Ridiculous.

BTW interceptor agility nerf is another idiotic change. Some nobrainers can't figure out what to do (though it is simple enough) and other nobrainers nerf ships to help the 1st ones.

"Capital pilots blap things" - it's not the fault of capships, it's the fault of victims that they allow turtles to hit them. Do you really want to adjust eve to capabilities of lamers?

My point is that numbers on paper are good for general analisys but shouldn't be used as an absolute truth to rely upon while doing stuff in "reality". In reality there are always more factors than on paper, some of them are subjective.

Did you ran any graphs before stating that? Do it. .the 5% reduction have only minor results when engaging intended targets at intended ranges. Close range weapons still can track perfectly carriers and the long range ones can do it still very well as long at you are over 60 km away.

You can still hit battleships reasonably well. 5% is a SMALL change, nothing ruined.

Consider the main weapon being used agaisnt dreads are being nerfed WAY more (sentries) and you have nothign to complain.

taht hard to grasp? Because they are BUFFIGN trackign computers by allowign them to overheat. They are afraid that without a nerf to the tracking, the metagame of XL guns insta blapping battleships will return.

Its OBVIOUS, and anyone that stopped to think before writing would have perceived their reasoning. I think also that is not needed, but their motivation is clear.

I have read complains here that Rise has not given his reasoning for nerfing capital guns.

But it's fairly self-evident when you consider that dreads are "designed" to be mobile POS and carrier bashers, as are titans (amongst other roles).

Capital guns wield great power and it's not in the interest of game balance if they can use that power against all classes of ship. If that were the case, the only ship to fly would be a capital. Everything else would be obsolete.

I am pretty sure it's the dev team's intention that capital ships *require* subcapital escorts in order to survive against sub-capital fleets, or fleets with sub-capital support. The game would not be interesting if a capital ship was like a Death Star with no exhaust port. It's the exhaust port's unguarded opening that gives rise to the narrative.

With this in mind, any tracking nerf that does not actually reduce damage application against another capital ship can be seen as reasonable. The fact that it may (or may not) require a re-think of tactics is irrelevant.

or just dont **** with TC's at all. it makes it overpowered for armor ships. you have tracking links for shield and trackign computers for armor. most shield tanked ships dont use tracking computers. its an unfair boost unless you boost the passive boost of tracking links.

So I decided to check Aebe's math, just to be sure.

Oh look it's the same graph.
And a comparison graph.

What is this? Me and a goon agreeing with each other?! Surely the world must be ending!

Actually I'll need to make a third graph... most relevant I think of all.
