Moving a high-slot to the low rack would actually help it as the lowslots allow for speed, damage, cap, tank, whatever .. while minimizing the impact its secondary eWar (neuts) can have on larger ship classes, remember that each small neut acts as if it was a 30km medium neut which is utterly insane if you think about it (we had the Hurricane nerfed for fielding two vanilla range medium neuts after all ).

Plus the inability to fit three neuts makes the curious recharge bonus redundant which in turn opens the door for the inevitable (and needed) hard-as-Chuck-Norris nerf to TD's with the Sentinel getting the Inquisitor range bonus in place of the recharge bonus with TD being re-fashioned to mimic ECM with weak modules and strong ship bonuses (same treatment for damps when people get fed up with the new Keres pissing in their cereal every day ).

Double whammy is that a slot move differentiates it from the Hyena in that regard, making it more Amarr as it were.

Don't go overboard with pre-nerf though. It was a good idea to add powerful frigate eWar platforms, problem arise when the same ships can bite/nipple an enemy at the same time.

Try with half the additional bonus and see where it lands, after that consider defanging everything and going full-on in your face eWar ownage

Guessing this means the bonuses will be scaled back a few %, rather than anything substantial.

whatever you do, don't touch sentinels bandwidth please

that is more of a statement that titans need to be massively nerfed than anythign else :P

wtf italicized the kernel of rotten corn in the **** that is your post.

"I want my favorite ewar ship to be immune to other ewar ships" HAHAHAHAHAHAHa, OMG I'm gonna **** myself with laughter. What kind of a baby are you?

Rise, just do what you think is right, don't let these nerds get to you.

If that happened all time we would have eneded with a tempest slower than amarr battleships and with sig radius larger than maesltrom. Luckly the nerds made him change his mind.

Peopel fail to realize a lot of the merit on the ship changes are shared between the developers and the people that bring up consistent argument at the forums on why the changes are good or not.

That's kind of disappointing, since there really aren't many dimensions along which you can tone them down without making them unusable again. They have very poor survivability already, so you can't really cut into that. They need the T2 ewar range in order to operate at a range where they won't instantly die the moment someone decides they want to get rid of them. Making them slower is just a different cut into their bad survivability.

The small, vocal minority doesn't want EAFs to be "reasonable", they want them to be useless.



The same buff that all the other frigates are getting. They still need to be effective in their role once they land on grid, and there is very little room to cut into that effectiveness before they go back to being ****.

CCP Rise, I would say wait a bit for some real singularity tests.

For now, the camera bug has been keeping a lot of dudes off Singularity (I myself get headaches if I play more than 30mns right now on Singularity, and even then I can't see anything so I get killed a lot).

Wait until you have enough testing material and then go ahead :)

Reason they are flown less is more likely due to cost consideration, for the Sentinels abilities for instance you are better off running Inquisitors/Arbitrators if TD is your poison and the neuting Geddon if that is your thing. EAS are only really relevant when you are suffering from pilot shortages

On their own the EAS are currently quite formidable, they just have to be extremely picky when it comes to targets. But they are T2, and since they are not covered by the HAC exception the Devs made (put aside the specialization rule, bastards!) they should do their things so spectacularly well with little wiggle room outside the box .. just a shame that there is only the one hull as it tempts the Devs into more exceptions to cover as much ground as they can, hope they resist and remembers that there are plenty of frigate/light options beyond the EAS.

In short: They should be strong enough to be hated above all else, but in a way that they are not feared. Tricky, but doable.
