How about changing the Damage/RoF bonus to be a fall-off bonus and give it an 8th turret?

The real problem is that when CCP talks about boosting something nobody uses, everyone's response is "why buff something we won't use?" and then when they talk about nerfing something everybody uses, the response is "OMG CCP you're ruining the game for everyone!" The problem isn't any lack of CCP's ability to balance the game, but a resistance to having a balanced game.

Hey everyone! As CCP Seagull mentioned in her coming in Oceanus dev blog, we're following up with Interceptors and Interdictors this release to apply some more polish.

These Interdictor changes are fairly minor as we consider the balance of this class fairly healthy. They are mainly aimed at helping the Eris, Heretic and Flycatcher compete more strongly against the Sabre for applications where combat ability matters.

One important module tweak that applies significantly to these ships (we'll be discussing it in more detail in an upcoming module balance blog) is that in Oceanus Light Missile Launchers will have their Rate of Fire decreased by ~6%.

Eris:
Replace the +5% Small Hybrid damage bonus with +5% Small Hybrid RoF
-50000 Mass

Heretic:
Replace the +5% Missile damage bonus with +5% Rocket and Light Missile launcher RoF
-5000 Mass
-0.1 Inertia

Flycatcher:
+1 Launcher
+10 CPU
+3 PWG


I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, they're getting better dps which falls in line with being able to hit things *hard* on field before going down, but the slot layout still does need to be addressed. it would be a fairly simple matter to just drop a high on the flycatcher and give it the extra low. Need to fit cloak and bubble? Just drop a launcher and you'll be fine, np.

I am looking forward to fitting lights on a kite heretic for FW plexing. it looks scary as hell with the extra dps and slight mobility bump.

Changes to interdictors, sure, great, nothing really amazing to look at. More random nerfs, not cool Fozzie, not cool. Hopefully the Gorski Car quote fest will reach a critical mass.

There needs to be a new warp disruption bubble for the Interdictors that is capable of stopping interdiction immune ships.

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

They are buffing and nerfing the wrong thing. Its Ishtars and Stealthbombers that need nerfed.
Everybody knows Ishtars are way too OP.
Everybody knows Stealthbombers are OP, hence why nobody in 0.0 wants to fight in Battleships anymore.

Ishtars DPS needs be cut in half.
Stealtbombers need to be nerfed by giving bomb launch delay after decloaking (5 seconds delay)

Welcome to the new EVE: A Game of Drones.
You continually buff drones, essentially leave the Ishtar overpowered and intact and resume the march to nerf missiles in one form or another.

Well I guess its time to buy Flycatchers.

Or you know, probably just buy a Worm or 5 instead.

It seems like CCP is on an ever increasing race to the middle, where everything is average and cozy and stupid. We don't need another "America", but in internet space, full of average intelligence and Chinese imports. Because that's where this is totally going.
