It is not solo pvp if you use a boosting alt. :cripes:

Am I understanding this right, that if you have two separate racial cruisers to V, and you have Destroyers to V, you'll still need to train Destroyers a second time to be able to use that second race's destroyers (as in, you'll only be refunded enough to fully pay for one?) That's what I think it says, and that's unfortunate, but I want to make sure.

ok lets call it ONE PLAYER PVP if u like.

if youre not using gang links - you are forced to use gay ships like bagabond and etc or to have k/d ratio like 1:1.
cool. HOW VERSATILE

if you make industrial links require ongrid also then warfare links should require Heavy Water Fuel and the same immobility state on any ship they are fitted as the rorqual is stuck in when its core is active, as the rorq boni is not in effect unless you are burning fuel and immobilized

Excellent blog! Well written and many things that myself, as a command and ewar support specialist had been much longing for. In fact, the changing to remove field and fleet is even more exciting. That said, the purpose of comments is to provide suggestions and feedback, so here we go.

1. The command subprocessor - Any thoughts of looking at it and the fittings for ships? It would be nice for us command ship pilots with the mixed bonuses to make more use of that. I fly combat on grid and wouldn't mind the high slot sacrifice to fit one. At the moment, the only ship that really makes use of it I find are the carriers. I understand the power of command links, but should they be changed to on grid, plus the double bonuses to field, I feel the 150 cpu is Too damned high! (insert meme photo here)

It also somewhat limits People learning to command ship, being able to fit a second ganglink can be nice too. Promote lower cost warfare. Main arguement is after initial bonuses, it takes two slots to add one ganglink. Losing a mid in pvp is a bit of a sacrifice. Cost, tank, ewar, etc. If ongrid comes into play, can be worth making the change maybe?

2. The "Tier 1" battleships and the ewar hole. Well, I make the following call. As it stands, you say domi, armageddon, and typhoon are working as intended. I agree. Changing typhoon to a missile platform is a good call. I use missiles on my phoon because watching em launch from the top always makes me think of oldschool sub movies. But in the end, for pure damage, the tempest and maelstrom are more loved and in bs combat, mobility is nice, but killing is more for the damage ships. Gank over tank.

My proposal is as follows:
Armageddon - Remove damage bonus, keep tracking bonus. -1 turret slots, -1 high slots, +1 mid. Keep tracking bonus, give it tracking disruption bonus to range and strength.

Dominix - It is a wonderful sentry/drone and sniping but needs a utility high slot. so +1 highslot -1 midslot. Remove hybrid damage (already has drone damage and a drone boat) to replace with sensor damp bonus.

Typhoon - Well, aside from changes mentioned of removing all turrets: -1 high, +1 launcher, -2 low, +2 med. In place of the turret bonus replace with painter bonus. Webs belong to other ships already.

Scorpion - tough one to fix here. The big problem is all other ewar ships can be effective with just one of the modules. ECM, you need to use 3-4 midslots to do anything. Would be nice to maybe get faster ecm cycles so that you have better chance of lock break, but for shorter duration. Would be nice to have to only fit one or two. That can allow taking one of the midslots to put into a high, and give it an extra highslot so it can fit more launchers. Give it some missile bonus that doesnt compete with the raven.

Topic of raven, maybe it needs one more launcher fitting to it, but that needs to be done with other missile balances etc.

Anyways, end of my two cents.

lol my main char has 11:1 k/d ratio w/ 90% solo kills, never used links.

lol my main char has 9999999:1 k/d ratio w 140% solo kills. using only augoror and prophecy and ganking M-O camps

cool story bro

My favorite news to drop in this blog, though I wonder if the grid push plus the boost nerf is a bit of a double whammy for Wing Leaders et al.

What worries me is how you will change command ships, from what I can tell you're going to turn them into a jack of all trades master of nothing.

That means the Damnation will lose its famous tank, the Absolution will lose its dps. The same for the Eos(lulz ****) and Astarte.
The Sleipnir and Claymore. The Vulture and Nighthawk.

I do no like this idea, because if field no longer can tank and gank, then its lost its purpose.

If fleet command can no longer tank and survive to support the fleet, then its lost its purpose.

A pleasure to meet you, Garmon.
