In an OGB world, it would be reasonable now to reduce all MWD speed values across the board by 50, or other similar figure - the choice du jour is either an MWD, or an over-sized AB, rarely do appropriately-sized Afterburners get into that equation, because they are not competitive enough.

Why don't we like people going really really fast
One of the biggest reasons is the "feel" of the game. Combat in EVE was always supposed to be more about tactics and strategy rather than twitch movement. I know a lot of the community enjoy that style of gameplay but it just isn't EVE.

Why not just nerf speed links now if they are admitted to be a key problem?

Then the whole concept will need to be reviewed with respect to other bonuses. Smile

Kinda wish they just dunked speed all together.

+70% for ABs and 140% for MWDs (and lower sig bloom). But that would require reducing range of a lot of things.

I love the picture in the article - ships hugging the station. Please give links a weapons timer to stop gate and station hugging.

8 years on .. none of those things were implemented .. poor amarr...

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

The last thing MWDs need is a speed boost. MWDs are all ready a requirement for most ships in most situations, which doesn't give us a choice when fitting. It's either use a MWD or suffer the concequences.

MWDs need a nerf, ABs need a small buff.

The meat and potatos value changes i'll take a wait and see attitude but the 500 word long names are **** right out of the box. Keep the names that mean something like 'enduring', 'compact' and 'restrained' and dump the rest of the title changes.

Yawn,  I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

I don't understand. One day they say 10mn AB svipul is overpowered, please nerf it. In another day they say AB need small buff. If CCP buff it, then we will ask to nerf svipuls again?

Everything has own role now:
MWD - null sec PvP.
AB - low sec FW PvP, PvE
oversized AB: for pew-pew-how-to-turn-this-brick PvP

Why do you think it should be fixed? Imho, having huge signature, hence more incoming dps, and at the same time having risk to be scrambled and stopped is a fair price for speed bost from mwd.

"It seems blatantly obvious that they should get bonus to capacitor warfare." --- Happened.\0/

Armour EM resistances actually were reduced from 60% to 50% since those stagnant times. Smile Khanid MK2 also implemented I think, but overall yes, lack of brawling engagements is disappointing today.

Mass-reducing modules were done away with, along with new stacking penalties introduced for speed mods.

Looks great, but death to speed creep, seriously please do not buff MWD speed boost percentages. Nerf them if anything

What about Nerfing Rapid Deployment ganglink by 10%? This will more or less cancel out the MWD speed increase on the highest tier. I know this is no-where close to what links need, but would be a good start anyway.

Rapid Deployment II from 7% to 6.3%

Links do not neeed a light touch here and there but a major revamp.

I'm all in favour of Rapid Deployment II dropping from 7% to 6.3% but I'd rather CCP did the job in one big update rather than "fixing" it piece by piece due to a few complaints in a forum thread.

part of the problem with links are the big bonuses given by skills and implants rather than by ships or mods.

The answer you are looking for, is in the second sentence you typed.

10mn. A prop mod class higher than its intended class range. A 1mn Svipul is vastly inferior to a 10mn svipul. 10mn give you close to 1mn MWD speed, without the sig bloom, and make you immune to scrams. And sometimes, is more cap efficient than the MWD equivalent. Yea, you get the big agility nerf, but it normally can be countered pretty easily in the fit, or with implants/links.

Your view on how prop mods work is very limited. An AB in nullsec can make you extremely hard to kill (if flown right), but is best paired with a MWD. MWD for speed, AB for range control once scrammed.

MWD in LS when setup for kiting, can make for a lot of easy kills against a/b fit frigs/cruisers. Yea, its risky if you do get scrammed, but, that's why you have neuts or web.

Give Battlecruisers range to fullfil their Anti-Cruiser role - OP SUCCESS

Make the Muninn great again!

I really, strongly dislike the MWD changes. This creates tiers if anything. Also indirectly giving frigates and cruisers more speed is just... really? Why not just delete battlecruisers and battleships from the game?

All the MWD line really needs is:

Tech 1: Cheap
Meta A: Easy to fit
Meta B: Lower sig bloom penalty
Tech 2: Lower cap penalty (much lower than currently as right now the higher activation cost negates the lower cap penalty benefit, hence why no one really uses T2)
