My Feedback

-Create a larger difference in cap use between tech 1 and 2 armor reps. Make tech 2 not better, make it a trade off. Better armor repair rate for unstable cap levels. While tech 1 armor reps would take less cap based on meta level.

-On grid boosting is still important. May I suggest they instead drop a boey? And that gives bonuses to everyone on the grid. This way the Command ship can warp off grid, but the bonuses will continue to apply through the boey. Obviously it could be destroyed, but the trick is to give it a large 200-300km range so it needs to be hunted down. Makes great use of the jump drives you added, and black ops battle ships. Basically increasing the battle field size and promoting small gang warfare in a small way. These could be slapped all over the place far away from each other.

-Finally overhaul the warping mechanic. The differences in warp speed don't even come into play *it's an ignored stat* and that could play a large role in battles were you warp smaller distances. Think about how much more useful smaller groups would be if they moved around faster compared to their larger heavy weapon brothers. Or if you go out into a null sec roam in thrashers it could be twice fast than it is today. The disadvantage of battleships would be the current warp speeds. If people can take smaller ships to fly a dramatic shorter flight time I think it would justify the year long frigate skill trees and boost t2 frigates/smaller gang warfare.

For instance you scare off a battleship and he warps back to a station, he escaped. However it should take 4 times longer for him to return than it does for the frigate you scared off. When the logi ship warps off you know you don't have to worry because it can be given a slower warp speed for balance. There could be a much larger difference between ships and make the game more tactical. I know it's because of some old code that holds this part of Eves design back, but I think it's important to the playerbase considering warping is one of the most common actions in the game. it's worth overhauling.

-Keep up the good work you guys have been fixing the very core of the game, please don't be afraid to really dig in deep. Please : (

Links are an unfair mechanic, even though they are equally available to anyone in the game who desires to train them

Coming prepared to a fight means having everything in order; skills, ships, mods, rigs, drugs, ammo, implants, boosters.

I am so butthurt for losing my ship, because i didnt come prepared to the fight, and want to thank you for providing me a focus to blame (other than my own failure).

Also lets make sure we further penalize those who spent 6 months to a year training t3 boosters by making thier current implants less powerful and obsolete to faction implants. that will make me feel a little better about coming unprepared to the fight and losing my ship.

Fozzie seriously i think ur trying to hard to make everyone happy.

You made it so you cant boost inside a pos. great. Nerf complete. No wait cuz your next complaint ur gonna get from the QQ majority is, (whiny voice) "But i cant kill his booster because they have pos guns, can we nerf pos guns now?"

T3s can not be made to be improbable. You got people qqing here because the booster pilot is actually watching the dscan for probes? really?

You want to make sure Command Ships give more bonus than t3, no problem, everyone including the boosters agree with you on that.

2 pilots were always more powerful than 1 pilot with a booster.

But what about those who currently spent a year of training to fly all t3 boosters at max with mindlinks? Ur kind of screwing them over by saying they need to replace thier mindlinks.

I dont mind switching to command ships. I dont mind that boosters have to be out of the pos field. I think your other nerfs are way over overdone but as long as they are equally applied..

But if ur gonna introduce new mindlinks which make the old ones pretty much obsolete, then give us the option to unfit them and trade them in with lp for new ones. You say those mindlinks are about 150m? try 250m in some cases of the recent past

Only one guy got an unfair advantage from his t3 booster, the rest of us were just evening the playing field by not QQIng and training for it ourselves.

When a player has a lock on an enemy ship receiving off-grid boosts, why not have the location of the boosting ship appear on the sensor overlay and provide a warp-in as long as the boosts are still active and the ship receiving the boosts is still targeted. This makes sense from a "logic" perspective (if there is energy coming from a point in space and hitting my locked target then it's plausible that my sensors might pick it up), and also allows some sort of counter to off-grid safed-up boosts for those that are on-grid already.

Wow, dont make a weapons timer for links, or ongrid boosting in lowsec fleet fights will cease to exist. Anything that makes support ships unable to jump at the same time as combat ships is bad design.

Stop making changes with off grid boosting in mind. You should be making changes as if offgrid boosting will be removed, because you promised it will be.

Yet another reason for a lot of peeps the be peeved CCP

Might wanna concider the time and Money people have invested in skilling leadership to have it cut in half or even reduced is going to be a whip on the Private parts to a lot of people.

Everyone Knows what boosts there are if they want to invade a area they need to be prepared and compensate that into their assault.

The people who complain are the ones who either don't have or just fail in epic tactics.

If it aint broke CCP don't fix it , no offence but seriously focus more on the important stuff like memory dump issues Or even alliance member access to POS modules like Corp hanger arrays and storage areas, having just the ship maintanace array as only access is rather ridiculous.



I do applaud the Ice belt change as it has stopped a lot of Bot's.

Again No offence!

Flysafe

The 1 minute aggression timer nerfs:

-On-grid Command Ships
-Command Ships chilling on gates
-Command Ships chilling on station

If two and three are really problems, just attack the link ships on statoin/gate, and they will have to dock or jump, dropping their bonuses?

Don't turn command proc's into rigs. That does not make sense at all, from any point of view. Better make them a module which can be fit either into med or low slot.

Why dont you just turn links to a targeted "weapon"?, similar to logistics.

That would end "afk safespot linking" wich is a terrible game mechanic.

Give them Support Timer a seperate form for logis and CS which alowed to Jump trough gates but dont let dem Dock into Stations.

Dont bother roaming if he is trying to escape throught a gate hes to slow to avoid being catched on the other side. Maybe even he gets trapped in a gatecamp if the enemys are smart enough.

And the Fleet lost their Boost anyway...

Oh and i would love to see that your fleet get a "Debuff" when the Booster got killed while boosting (some tweaks may needed).

So losing a Boosting Ship should really a punishment.
