A Maller that can actually be something besides bait?

My word! That'll be the perfect bait!

With cruisers not sucking any more, logi cruisers and the like, is it possible that the new FW complex layout (rookie, minor, medium, large) that the idea to have a medium hold all T2 cruisers and below had this rebalance in mind?

Sweet. I like that everything is getting looked at and T1 is a great place to start. Nice rebalancing changes +1 from me... Big smile

come on with the other cruisers i want to see what you have done with the stabber and thorax pretty please :P

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

WOW DAT VAGABOND IS SEXAYYYYYYYYY

Hope this means we'll be getting a Art Blog soon, those are wicked as well, but they are so few and far between, i like to see where the UI and Art team are working as it tells a lot of where eve is heading.

Great work on the balancing, the idea that i might actually be able to stop flying a damn auto cane and go fly a thorax again makes me excited.

Please keep a close eye on the capacitor for ships of cruiser sizes and up. Especially those ships with weapon systems that don't require cap.

It always seemed strange to me that the faction with the worst cap technology (minmatar) have so little cap issues and are so superior hulls for cap warefare (since they have spare cap and spare high slots). Worse is that this seems accidental too, since all ships with neut bonuses have amarrian hull designs.
It would be nice to see regular amarrian ships with at least one spare highslot intended for a vampire (or whatever). This would also feel natural and in line with the amarrian design philosophy.

This all sounds really promising, and I like a lot of the proposed changes a lot. However, I'm a bit concerned about increasing cruiser mobility, since there's currently not a very big gap between the speeds of the faster T1 cruisers and the slower frigates. For example, a typical shield rupture will do around 1700 m/s on an unheated MWD, while a Harpy does about 2200 m/s under the same circumstances. If cruiser hulls become significantly faster and more agile, I'd be concerned about their potential to cut into the niche of frigates to some extent. An across the board increase in the speed of cruiser hulls and smaller ships would be very welcome, though, as a way to differentiate them from battlecruisers without changing the balance between cruiser and frigate hulls.
