remember, sentries have enormous downs

That's a huge DPS nerf, 16% nerf to DPS. That's substantial.

.4s align isn't that big, but it's still pushing the ship further from the important 2s mark so isn't something to be ignored.

Honestly, i dont mind any of these changes at all, but could you for the love of god actually focus some bloody effort on fixing the claw?
At least try and make it usefull for something other then beeing a expensive shuttle.

I'm sure more fits could reinforce this point, but yes, percentages aside, I believe the crow is still going to be doing the exact same thing it was before. I don't know if the same can be said for the malediction though. This of course begs the question of, what is the point of this nerf even? Instead of maledictions and crows it will just be crows. Let's not kid ourselves about the idea of rockets on the malediction, nobody wants to do that, and in fact, people will likely still fit light missiles despite the MASSIVE reduction in efficacy they will be experiencing on the ship.

I also think that the proposed light missile nerf should also be addressed here, everywhere, and as much as possible as it effects many ships that are, at least in my opinion, nowhere near problem ships. For those of you that feel like 6% is a inconsequential number, that's the equivalent of 2 levels of rapid launch, i.e. very significant.

Verifying the Obvious. Not to mention that due to insane agility/align time, Interceptors enter Warp before the gate cloak comes off completely, giving Zero chance to lock them. But no, that can't possibly be OP. Leave the instawarps to Pods and ultra fast align->warp to shuttles. Give the Bubble Immunity to Interdictors, cause well, that should have been an obvious choice perk for that ship class verse the interceptor.

Don't confuse catching dumb pilots, with being able to catch instawarp interceptors. Even with 4000+ scan res, you can't catch a decent interceptor pilot on gate that just wants to blow through your camp. I've rolled through a number of camps in Null with an interceptor SOLO, with ZERO worry. I'm well into warp before cloak even begins to dissipate... Laughing all the way with my loot. CCP might as well name all interceptors "The Gingerbread Man."

Why are they getting faster?
The Taranis is already FAR AND AWAY the highest DPS ceptor and its going to move faster wtf!

+100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

My maledictions are going to gather dust with rockets as they will suck compared to taranises then.
how does mabye 70-80 dps from rockets compared to double that from blasters and the taranis has drones as well.

I don't see how they are so good with light missiles I only get 49 dps with faction missiles I need two volleys to kill a friggin pod even.
They are fast tackle that's what they are supposed to do--tackle things quickly. I need help to kill stuff.

Well maybe I will just skip any sort or guns or launchers...kinda silly but no one ever thought CCP made much sense with most of their fixes.
Dual prop maledictions since you wont need grid for launchers anymore

The raptor just plain sucks they could buff that and I doubt anyone would complain.
Crusader could use a little love too

Raptor buff looks promising, now with a web/mse/scram and 2 MFS it will get 5k EHP and over 200dps with blasters.. plus with null you can scram kite with around 170dps. Very promising indeed.
