Ships & Modules

I'm not sure, but immunity to neuts could be interesting but probably OP.

Probably in the meantime, pve. Still good for missions, ratting, combat sites. T3's, it's not just new attention, they are just OP factoring in cheap hulls and high insurance payouts for the amount of damage they deal and deflect. I would hope that CCP adjust things at some point. I rarely cry nerf, but... it is a new ship so there must be some balance phase coming. I wouldn't mind seeing a buff to AF's, but then again they were rather nice before all this, so buffing them may just add to further systemic dissemblance.

Or may I suggest T3 AF's?
hmmm.... since they are already like T1 mini-cruisers, that would make them T2 mini-cruisers. Like a mini-falcon or whatnot, something good for bomber support and cov-op fleets etc. EWAR, agility, cloakies, small weapon, multi mode, but in a smaller package. At least one empires version of them (Caldari of course).

I haven't heard of it, do you possibly have a reference, or general memory of where they mentioned that? I may have just overlooked it. As far as subcaps, the only thing I've heard recently (from o7 show last month) is regarding black ops something something we may look into it one day needs work etc.

Give AF the succubus treatment, give them massive AB bonuses.

They tried that on Sisi. It was part of the first pass at AF rebalancing. As predicted, they were indeed insane. Never made the cut in Dominion.

And then throw Succubus out of the window.

Oooooohhh I like the sound of that.

Yeah im thinking the ishkur would have the same issue, it's already a nightmare for anything bigger than it once it's under the guns.

Though our old 300dps fit doesn't do 300dps anymore because of the small hybrid tweets which makes me very sad.
I'd like to have that back if possible.

I've flown Assault Frigates a bit. I think they are in a great place. I just think D3's need to be deleted.

However, since that will never happen, they need an SP loss like their cruiser cousins. 100% of their associated tactical destroyer skill SP.

I've yet to fly against one, but I have a problem with CCP adding new and undertested toys to their sandbox when they haven't even finished fixing up and organizing the stuff that's in. Introducing new crazy things into the mix just confuses and obscures work already done. They should have finished the ship and module tweaks.

I find it funny that CCP rams through ideas like D3's that would have been (and have been) repeatedly shot down by the regulars in F&I when other people bring them up. Shout outs like, "This is too OP" and "What role does this fill? You haven't thought this through - go back to square one and find a role for [vehicle xyz] that doesn't infringe upon other ships"...and the sort, dominate that forum. And I'm glad we have a dedicated playerbase so ready and eager to play as peer review to ideas like that and shoot them down before they gain traction. I just wish CCP would learn and humble themselves before it.

Nothing in this direction of course, since the firepower of assault ships is already very good. So my suggestion would be some capacitor tweaks, so a long point and your mwd doesn't cap you out in 12 seconds anymore.
I know that the Retribution and the Enyo may want to use an ancillery rep for all the 8 burst cycles it has and not 3 - game over.

And maybe a tiny base speed change for some (as in 'not all') of them. I think that will do it already.
