Have to say, looking forward to flying a Malediction once this hits live.

Null and (especially) lowsec mining pretty much dies, though, once people realize you can really amp up the effectiveness by flying these in gangs.

Stealth Buff to Low skill point players?

Yes and good idea... the boy and his frigate orbitting at 500 with a warp scrambler on ..two weeks into the game! Oh that was so much fun and another month to be a ferocious inty pilot... all the better.

Stealth Nerf to Character Values ?
--- if you can do one or two roles really well with low skill points .... being able to fly higher doctrines becomes less necessary (following on some effective net buffs to T1 industrial, lowering of skill points needed to sit in a carier, recent balancing shift the balance closer to equal, if not in favor of cruisers over battle-cruisers)

You know... I think this may make interdiction nullified T3s a bit nervous. The chance of getting caught by an interceptor in Rubicon is probably a lot greater than it was ever before. I mean, if they don't get their cloaking done quickly and all that. Will definitely make you pay attention more.

While this is great in a million ways, they really need to set the cargo capacity such that you can't light a cyno in one of these and not merely so that it requires cargo expanders. Having a 15 million Isk ship that moves from system to system in the blink of an eye and is interdiction-nullified is going to enhance power projection quite a bit.

I tested my t2 warp speed rigged Viator on Sisi today. -- Jita undock to Amarr dock (8 jumps) in 4 minutes 28 seconds. And I had to even wait for a few systems to load first. Warp speed is ridiculous, 16.75 au/S I believe. Absurd. This is a 10 minute trip on tranq right now.

Some of that is temporary.

I don't care, though; call it 25 million if you want. These things should not be lighting cynos.

Or you mine with a fleet of Skiffs. And fit webs & scrams to your mid slots as well as some tank. And have boosts. And when they land on grid with you, you don't run. You engage with a massive drone ball as you web them down and scram them. And laugh evilly.

Well I wouldnt be overly worried..

if you are already alligned you just need to pop it then warp.. Captors dont have the best HP so if you are quick enough you should be able to pop and run before it can open the gate for tis friends

I think the bigger question is what is the speed of a plated, 2 trimarked T1 BS now?
For every ship that people are drooling over, there is someone weeping because their ships just got murdered.

People has no clue yet on how damaging this is for PvE income for many BS pilots.

For PvE purposes the warp speed changes shouldn't matter one iota, I haven't come across a single PvE activity that takes place during warp. Logically a BS should be slow compared to a frigate anyway, an apt comparison would be an articulated truck vs a motorcycle.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Today I learned that Dinsdale fits trimarks and plates on his PvE battleships.

Fascinating.

Right, so when someone has to traverse quite some distance to get where they want to go, and their travel time doubles, that has no impact on ISK / hour.

If isk per hour is your main concern you're not using a normal T1 BS anyway, afaik most people going for isk per hour are blitzing using T3 cruisers and faction/pirate BS's such as the Machariel.
