These are some of the most underused ships in the game. As e-war they are high priority targets. And yet they are horribly easy to kill. They are the largest frigates out there. The Kitsune comes in at a staggering 58m! Most of the others are in the 50s. The hyena can be "trained" down to 43m via an old interceptor bonus that was changed on interceptors because it was obsolete. All of the EAF could use 15m chopped off of their signature radii.

Some of the ship bonuses seem to be redundant. All of the EAF, for example, have a cap reduction bonus. This seems like the kind of thing that screams out for a ship role instead. Many other ideas have been posted. They range from stronger e-war to increased range to more survivability.

Anyways, I'm posting this in a high traffic Dev area as a reminder that EAF have been broken since the speed nerf which is going on three years. Please fix. Thanks.

The Amarr e-war frigate is a great little ship.
Most other frigates should fear it.
TD isn't really necessary on it either. The neuting is what makes it dangerous.

aww yea. Those silly little EA frigs. I think I saw a Sentinel once. It was me and I died in 10 seconds flat. 7 of which was the travel time of the Warrior IIs :v

Did you know it's quite easy to make a Tracking Disruptor to out-optimal the max locking range of a Sentinel? All you need to do is slap a TD on it. There. 72km optimal + 36km falloff against 45km locking range. DUH? Shocked Meanwhile, it's ******** little brother, the Crucifier, has ~60km locking range.

What's up with that?

Boost EAF please.

It knows what you think.

All of the EAF have shorter lock ranges then their T1 counterparts. The sentinel also comes in at a 53m signature radius. Noone can be happy with that.
