Ships & Modules

Armor, Shield, and Skirmish have a wide application in eve. (mining is not combat related, does not count)

Information is limited to only a small variety of ships in comparison to the other warfare links.


Look at the market, all other mindlinks are 90+ million each, while the information warfare mindlink is a paltry 9 million.

Information warfare is very limited in use and does not give a stronger bonus compared to other warfare links despite how limiting in what it can do.

I believe Information warfare should be replace by Capacitor or Weaponry warfare links.


Now moving on from that, lets look at the one of the most terrible and least flown ship in the game the Eos (Lololos in my opinion)


Not only is this ship stuck with the laughable Information Warfare, the ship's bonus and philosophy itself is laughable.

Battlecruiser Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to Medium Hybrid Turret damage and 7.5% bonus to Armor Repairer effectiveness per level

Command Ships Skill Bonus: +15 m3 extra Drone Bay space and 3% bonus to effectiveness of Information Warfare Links per level.

Its a FLEET COMMAND ship that has the bonus to the worst tanking in the game known as Active Armor tanking. Active Armor tanking is awful because of the low dps tank and the fact that it repairs at the END of the cycle.

Then it wastes 2 damage bonuses that makes it hardly better than the thorax in terms of dps. If you fit a command ship for boosting and tank, damage dealing takes a complete backseat.

With bonuses like these, it makes no sense why this ship would be boosting information, the typical users of these are cloaky and mobile recon ships. The Eos is useless as it cannot follow the a black ops bridge, move fast and cloaked like these ships.

The whole entire thing is a complete abysmal failure in my personal view.

Have you tried flying the Eos with a recon gang while traveling through hostile space?

But we're not talking about the Proteus here my friend, we're talking about the EOS.

Well to be fair you're complaining about both the Eos and the info war links.

I won't comment on the Eos, but the info war link that boosts e-war strength is solid. You can reach 100% jam chance on anything t1 BC and below with recon 5 and a max info war booster. (In before "because of falcon")

I do think that the e-war range link and sensor strength links suck though. I wouldn't mind seeing something better for the other two. It's backwards considering racial titan bonuses but the other two links could be capacitor amount and recharge time.

Really they should just make gallente armor and amarr gets cap recharge/neut range or something.

I have, what's your point?

Basically, the issue here is the same as the issue with the Claymore, fleet command ships with Active Tank bonuses are 99% ********.

All FLEET (NOTE; NOT FIELD) command ships should have a resists bonus, the Field Commands are fine as is.

Sir, that would be the Astarte, the Eos is a fleet command ship, it has 2 purposes in life, giving bonuses and tanking.

As such its Rep bonus is terrible for its role.

Would you say this kind of active tank is viable even if armor rep rigs would be replaced by damage rigs? To avoid speed loss. In exchange more armor resist mods in the low slots...and maybe a 800mm plate to get some buffer. Tho I think pure resist and even better rep could be nice in small scale PvP.

How to fix information warfare:

Replace targeting range bonus with signature analysis bonus.

Done. All ships in fleet get 10% reduction to signature at level V of information warfare. (currently get 10% bonus to targetting range...yippeee)

As far as I can remember, scan resolution bonus is leadership itself, information warfare bonus is targetting range.
