I'd like to see some experimentation with the Typhoon getting a sig bonus for missiles and be a little better at hitting smaller targets?

Since it's not going to really be a front of the line battleship, but more of a support battleship for lighter fleets, with the ability to handle a few different battleship scale utility slots (heavy neut, rep, etc) - the sig bonus would make it a formidable beast when taking on smaller support ships.

Just thinking out loud here.

Here's to hoping EvE doesn't end like Mass Effect.

Also:

No.

LOL, you lack imagination

Do the skill changes apply on the 4th?

They will never do this because "gallente doesnt get passive armor bonuses"

EDIT: nevermind, fozzie doesn't want 5% bonuses on warfare links -_-

My thoughts:

Prophecy as a Myrmidon? Feeling quite bleh on that frankly, but if you give it an e-war bonus too then I guess that's at least in keeping with the other drone boats.

Myrmidon, please say it can use 5 heavies. It might actually make it worth using then.

Ferox, why not just make it a face melting SOB? Don't use it as a sniper, use it as a close-range support ship for the Rokh. Give it an extra midslot too in keeping with the Drake.

Brutix, give it more speed and agility. Talos conflict, meh. Talos already packs large guns, so give Brutix tracking bonuses to die for.

Typhoon, leave it alone ffs. It's pretty good so don't go breaking it.

Raven, cruise missiles need some love. I'd happily sacrifice range for more dps, or more missile velocity.

Tempest, could do with some clear focus. Unlike the Typhoon which is blatantly an armour tanker, the Tempest doesn't really have that clear-cut choice. If you keep it as it is slot-wise then maybe give it an e-war bonus, or webbing? Something to make it stand out a little more.

Hyperion, change fitting requirements or change the armour rep bonus. Or make armour repping work so that it's actually practical; you never see shield tankers dual-repping(unless it's ASB) and yet armour reppers... you've seen the triple-rep Myrmidon, right? Even if you have BC 5 and can keep it fuelled with cap it'll still DIAF and the Hyperion really suffers in this regard.

LOVING the sound of the Command Ship changes. Major thumbs up there. I predict Sleipnirs to become even more of a primary than normal in small-gang fights...

To infinity and beyond!

I want to hump your leg just for the changes to command bonuses and insisting that they find their way to the battlefield!

These plans look awesome to me and I think the direction is the one we will bear...

Let's see how it goes next year. Till then: Winter is coming :)

Mostly this is good stuff. Especially individual balance comments. Less so about skill tree changes and larger mechanics. But:

CCP, you need to pipe up about fixing medium Railguns. There's no point in talking about Ferox or Brutix changes without making the longer ranged hybrids possibly worth fitting to at least throw-away T1 ships, let alone T2 HACs and CSs.

Also, Skirmish link doesn't match with Amarr racially. They're the brick tankers, Gal should get skirmish links as a secondary racial link type because they're meant to be fast/agile/hard tackling.

Also why do you hate the Megathron so? Unless you're giving it an extra mid, then we might be cool, but what about the poor, fat Hype?. But so far you seem to hate the look and potential of the active armour brawler that the Mega line has been shown to be capable of being.
