Must be on my fourth Cartel mission now. So far every Cartel battleship seems incapable of hitting my stationary Machariel until they're within 8km of it.

Was this intended? Cartel battleships were hardly the most dangerous L4 rats out there.

When your gut instincts tell you something is wrong, trust them. When your heart tells you something is right, ignore it, check with your brain first. Accept nothing, challenge everything.

Maybe something funky happened with the changes to the guns? Still, I don't think its intended nor have I seen this be the case yet.

More than likely it's broken. Because right now there's zero need to tank, once you've sniped off the frigs and cruisers from range, the battleships take so long to reach you that you'll pop them before they get in range.

pffft, just move and they can barely track you at 2-3 km.

Maybe we just started noticing it more now, that we can actually see the tracers fly over the hull instead?

Nah, you'd still watch your shield go down prepatch. Now they're just outright missing at pointblank, doesn't quite seem right.
