Where's the option to un-sign a petition and so cancel out the person before you?

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

Not supported, the current way of "adapting your ship" by refitting during battle is clunky and annoying while being almost mandatory since even if you don't do it, chances are the enemy will.

Instead - implement proper mode switch option(s) or a alt-fit which makes refitting more convenient and balanced. This could be balanced with spool-up timers, invulnerability or vulnerability windows etc.

What happened to rock, paper, scissors... Instead we have; always choose rock (buffer/tank), refit for paper (DPS) if you are not primary or refit for scissors (Sniper) if your target is too far. We are all just flying the cookie-cutter comps and anyone who does not gets owned. Boring if you ask me.

This change will be a deathwish for high end wormhole PVP.

Signed. Don't remove opportunities for players to distinguish themselves through planning, judgement, and speed of execution.

Also it would really make dread gameplay particularly boring.

Well, based on this comment, it would suggest that making this change has no effect as we'd be unlikely to find 1% of kills that show combat refitting.

Therefore, this changes nothing..

Signed, refitting in combat is an amazing mechanic.

CCP should be looking for ways to increase activity in fleets, not decrease it.

This one's a bit over the edge guys.

Locked for breaking... well, pretty much all the rules.

There's a certain thrill to planning and executing refits that allows for a transforming battlefield. Please don't change it.

Refits aren't being removed, you just can no longer change the second you are targetted. In a longer running fight you can get your timer off, refit then resume fighting. This actually adds more skill to a good combat refit, since you now have to manage downtime as well rather than refitting being a penalty free mechanic. It now has a downside you have to consider and this is good.
Also with all cap ships receiving a SMA now, this was seriously needed.

Will it affect certain combat styles, of course it will. as you all say to everyone else, HTFU and adapt.

Keep refitting as it is. Its cool that you have this grand idea to how you want your game to change but take a moment and look at what your player base wants. We want challenging dynamic game play and less fixated crap.
