Stealth nerf to Deep Space Transports or will you bump their warp core strength to +3?

This is a pretty big nerf to all of the sub-T2 scrams.

The ranges should really be ~8300 for the Initiated and the J5B and ~8700 for the Faint

I always thought it was a bit silly the 30km points were 19cpu, although not sure jumping up to 40 is the right thing to do.

Yes, it makes a lot more sense now. I found it most strange that high meta disruptors cost less CPU thank high meta scrams. This does kill a lot of fits though.

It is not as though DSTs were overpowered, so this is a bit of an unnecessary nerf to them in my opinon.

Most officer modules derive from two different factions. I think this would be a good time to add warp disruptors and scrams to another faction's officers. Perhaps Serpentis would be a good pick. IMO you could also do the same for Stasis Webifiers who only come from Angel officers.

Please rethink the scram range changes. You literally just did an across the board nerf on sub-T2 scrams. Many FW/low sec fits are generally already tight using the x5 + j5b combo. Its either that or give up over 1km of scram range. The scoped needs to be 8625 and the rest need to be 8250. Also, please make j5b scoped.

Wondering why the faction points remain at 1 along w/ the lesser versions of the mod while the officer's are 3. There's no middle such as a strength of 2. I noticed the scrams are meta (lesser versions) 2, faction 3 and officer are 6. So why not have the same for points etc. meta 1, faction 2 and officer 3.

Seriously, wtf.

The changes in the last year have become ever more puzzling.

Nerfing fitting on faction points just kills Blops fits which are extremely tight to fit. Please reconsider the CPU nerf.

Or CCP could just rebalance BlOps to give them the fitting they need so they don't have to go max deadspace/faction to get a useable fit.

curios on the Gotan distributor? If it's going to be Labled as a Capital modual i would think the strength and fitting would reflect that?

The range nerf on the Meta Scramblers seems pretty big. (Intentional?)

It makes sense to make the Tech II Warp Scrambler finally worth using over Faint Epsilon. However, dropping all scrams to the t1 base range of 7.5km changes the scram kiting meta-game quite substantially from the previous common range of 8625m from J5b. 8000 for non-scoped meta, 8500m for scoped seems a little better for progression (7.5km, 8km, 8.5km, 9km) from t1 to t2 in 500m increments. I understand you may want consistency with this class of modules though with the Meta Warp Disruptors also having the same optimal range of the T1 version.

Other than that, I think these changes look very promising and healthy.

I think the old RF point used to be overpowered with best range and CPU so I don't see it as too much of an issue going up to 40 CPU and the new 'compact' style tier of faction modules not having the old CPU. I think it's worth pointing out to people upset about the CPU increase that there are more options now (Compact Weapon Upgrades, Damage Controls not being mandatory) which can help with fitting

Reduce the scoped, compact, and enduring by 2 CPU each, and the T2 activation cost back to 5 and it's fine. Scrams are supposed to be newbro friendly and the CPU costs are too damn high!

BTW thanks for increasing the cap use on all of these. Promoting drone boats is just super. Straight
