Like I said at the panel, change the requirements of pos gunnery to only be anchoring 4. Quick little change.

Poses are going to proliferate quite a bit, and hopefully more people will be fighting at them. And people with less means to defend them will have need to use them where before they didn't. They are going to be less of a specialized thing and more of a necessity fo industrialists. The barrier for pos gunnery could take a look at. Its a really miserable train.


But it's so much work to change one number and I am so le tired! Cry

Fine, done. Starbase Defense Management only requires Anchoring 4 instead of 5 now.


About god damn time! :P

Wanna change some more numbers and do a balancing pass on POS guns and buff their stats a bit, since they haven't been touched since an era when a dreadnaught had less EHP than a cruiser can get today?


e: This goes especially for scan res. In context of such a change I'd propose massive increases to scan res, on the order of tenfold, but perhaps a corresponding increase in the automatic lock delay as well. That way an unmanned POS still takes its sweet time doing anything, but a manned POS is able to swiftly react to a changing combat landscape. You've got that huge tower there, why are its targeting arrays so bad?


That's going to take quite some time indeed, but that's why we keep CCP Fozzie chained in the basement. I'll promise him some raw meat if he looks at it at some point, that should cheer him up.

We'll discuss that point for sure, but we are not certain this will make it at the same time than the main bulk of Industry changes though.



guess people who trained anchoring 5 for posguns get skillpoints back then ??

You still get to use large T2 bubbles

EDIT: More importantly, you have the advantage of having been able to shoot POS guns in the past when others couldn't. CCP aren't going back in time and giving the ability to everyone at release, now are they?

Of course, CCP always reimburses skills when they change things, have you not been getting a ton of SP every patch?

along that line, can we get a new CHA size? i mean its kinda silly to keep using assembly arrays in place of CHA's as a work around. having another Large CHA that matches the size and fitting requirements of the large ship assembly array would be great.

CHAs are getting more than twice the capacity. It's gonna help, at least.

Can those of us who trained Anchoring V (twice, ugh) expect something for our time investment in that skill?

Yes. You can expect to still be able to do everything that you could before. Nothing is changing that will effect you. Now stop complaining.

You can expect a big fat HTFU from me, as I've trained anchoring 5 on no less than twelve characters in the past couple months, and am fine with this.

All of you are why we so rarely get nice things :(

If everyone got a free titan in the next patch you'd probably complain it was the wrong colour.

What ever you do, an unmanned POS should NOT lock any faster than they do now.
