Simple idea: The "Fleet" 'ceptors are supposed to be long range tacklers, the "Combat" 'ceptors are supposed to be short range tacklers. So, why not change the Propulsion Jamming range bonus on the "Fleet" 'ceptors to apply only to Warp Disruptors and add a Propulsion Jamming range bonus to the Combat 'ceptors that applies only to Warp Scramblers? This would allow the Fleet 'ceptors to continue performing their current role as long-point tacklers, while allowing Combat 'ceptors to specialize in scram-kiting instead of forcing them to brawl under hard tackle.

Thoughts?

fleet intercepters are as such because they sacrifice a combat bonus in favor of a point range bonus. The idea of interchanging the two in some way is moot if you're talking about specific per-level bonuses.

I'm personally satisfied with where inties are at, and don't see the specific need for the change. Basically "why fix what isn't broke". However I do not fly in such fleets, and typically use them just for kicks on low-roams in solo or very small gang. So, my opinion is of limited value.

Also, there are more than a few threads about this already, so prepare for EVE O's civilian forum cop to arrive at any moment.

Hey guys.
