So, a question for the t3 rebalance:

What will happen to my parts and BPCs when the new subsystems roll out? Will I lose my BPCs? Will they change into something else?

There's an easy solution to having too many big ships: just create a bigger ship.

In the universe of EVE, there always seems to be a bigger fish. With so many people running around with Supers and (to a far lesser extent) Titans, why not just make something that's big and expensive enough to take team collaboration (again) to build?

These days, there are players rich enough to build and/or buy these ships alone, and then fly them into battle -- then repeat the process. The wealth creep in the EVE universe is clear, and all of this floating wealth simply isn't going to go away in the near future. CCP seems to have recognized this fact with their release of various sizes of Citadels. Perhaps they'll do the same with supercapital ships?

You were that kid sitting alone in the pool having a good time, weren't you? Because without nullbears, without population, that's what Eve will quickly become. There are vast stretches of nullsec already empty, try roaming through it--it's a shadow of what it was 5 years ago, and changes (like these absolutely horrible ones to fighters) will only make is worse.

You're missing the point, probably b/c your nothing more than an apologist troll.

Funny that there are like 1k+ posts in the forum about the Fighter "Balance" but CCP just say "well **** that, we won`t listen to our community"

Never ever gonna go and buy plex with €

Another great point, and another reason why CCP's decision to force this down our throats at the last minute hasn't been well planned. It's a knee-jerk reaction that should scare anyone looking down the line at the longterm viability of this game if so shortsighted is their aim and focus.

I don´t have a carrier, but when I realise, that a Rattle can do almost the same(wich I can already use), why should I skill then 6+ months for a big hunk of metal, wich is pretty useless now?
Just because a Dev clearly hates that shipclass.....
Its just dump. Sorry, but its true. I don´t even care to plan for any cap now, because dreads may be the next ones to nerf.
Somebody has clearly no vision anymore, how to develop this game further or even to balance it. Just look at the mess, the subcaps are(HAC, some BS,....).
Just my opinion.

About fighters nerfs

Well, I’m a noob in practical Null-Sec Alliance politics, but I’m interested in it and I got enough knowledge to realize that this nerf and few other previous nerfs are an attempt to reconfigure the Null-Sec structure by CCP. Obviously, in the RedSwarm Federation’s favor, based what EVE Map and Monthly Economic Reports showed on economic activity during the last few months.

The result of B-R5RB battle just pushed the PL and PanFam coalition in a really bad situation. The cap ship nerfs did even more, considering the PL mastered cap fleet fights very well.

I’m surprised that almost all TEST members on this thread just raging about cutted ISK grind by carriers. The fighters nerfs has nothing to do with ISK. If you want to cut the ISK/H, the Null-Sec bounties Faucets – just reduce the bounties by 30% or 50% and that’s all (just change one digit in your script) and no need to dismantle those weakened alliances. Considering the situation of going POS and incoming “citadels”, having those nerfed frigates will make harder to defend them. The greatest battle of this spring at HED-GP just revolved that Legacy depends by carriers and cheap artillery fleets at defense and offense (it’s just revealed). That POS battle, in my opinion, was a strong TEST CEO’s move to control better such an important system for Hi-Sec access and bridge beacon in southern region. The carriers nerfs is a strong blow to Legacy power, because their Hels had an important role in the HED-GP battle, as some from PanFan said “BRAVE Hel on the grid”.

IDK about Drone Region Federation, but during some Sunday I did exploration there from Etherium Reach to Cobal Edge and I met like 15 pilots, which was not the ISK grinders or miners.

We should wait to see the changes to T3 ships, especially how this will affect those alliances which have big Tengu’s fleets.
More, CCP planning to increase the drop chance of pirate faction ships BPC, which will turn into huge amount of BPC on the market. For example, last month in Delve was mined ore on 8.9 T ISK.

I’m feeling, we’ll see a 20000 army roaming Null-Sec on Machariels, Naglfars, Gnosis, Gilas, Rattlesnakes… and how the Citadel and capital shields will hold this IDK, before we’ll see another big nerfs for pirate ships. Who will wing in a battle 10000 Machariels vs 1200 Machariels, considering no capital, carrier, sub-cap support? Just for High-Sec mantra players, we can see that army in Hi-Sec operating legally through WarDecs like PIRAT’s doing this in Domain and Perimeter. The CCP is trying to balance the game to make it more casual, but it can have practically a cancer effect for this game.
It’s interesting to read something about what the alliance CEOs are discussing about these changes…

About Rorqual nerfs

If I’m not wrong, it’s an attempt to bring Drone regions to life, for PVE, through farming those Drone AI and components. There are super powerful and expensive Excavator Mining Drones and they are very useful for rich players, considering drone components prices on the market.

And yet some events the boosters expire a few days after the event... whereas others (last Halloween's Blood Raider event), the boosters expire 4-5 weeks after the event (last year's Blood Raider Crimson Harvest ended a bit after Halloween in early November, the boosters expired on December 1st IIRC).

It is a bit random, some consistency would be nice on that. Either let them last after each and every event so the market traders can have fun like Tipa Riot said... or have them end shortly after the event each and every time so it really is an event-only thing and if people want to make money on the market, they'll have incentive to farm the sites right at the start rather than being able to take their time.

Instead, we keep jerking back and forth between both styles.

While some of the re-changes are welcome, NPC Fighter Aggression: No Change (was +15%) shows that after the complaining by the 1% of the 1% of Null started up, members within CCP who represent the Null sec fan club seem to have once again decided that 2 regions in Null gaining more in NPC bounties than the rest of the game is fine and dandy and can be sorted out later.

This is why EvE is now free to play, when you constantly give to one part of EvE and ignore the rest to fight over scraps, those left in the rest of the game are not overtly happy.

Hell its not like it even makes sense in risk vs reward as Wormholes are a lot more dangerous.
