Holysmokes some of the stuff in this thread is funny.

Cloaked Links, 6000DPS assigned fighter damage etc... (as pointed out if your a TL;DR person, links don't work cloaked, and you can only assign a max of 5 fighters ).

There are clearly some people that believe the only way they die is when the others had a "unfair" advantage.

This is Eve. It is your job to be on the other side of unfair.

Yeah they are using capital ship weapons, on subcaps, without putting the capital ships at risk. Id say thats unfair. The subcap ships are all balanced against one another and you throw that all away allowing these kinds of drones to be fielded like that.

And again that wasn't in the least bit a problem when those "capital ship weapons" couldn't hit anything sub-capital sized. The problem wasn't fighter delegation it IS CCP's phoebe fighter changes. Rather than getting rid of cool and unique features, CCP should attack the actual problem, which was their own poor thinking prior to the Phoebe patch when it comes to fighters.

I'll gladly put my Archon at risk but with hotdrop mechanics being what they are we seem to have gone from near 0 risk to maximum risk and I'd really rather have a middle ground. Not that I have any alts subbed to assign to at this point because CCP has returned to lazy mode and my interest in the game is near 0.

are people really denying the fact that people are sitting in the supers poking out of of the pos shield, forgoing tank instead of full wrack of drone mods?




So the problem is more that the mid/low slot modules are still IN EFFECT when fighters are off-grid of the super/carrier !

Hell; removing is a stupid idea. Its a unique form of gameplay and you can make it more risk adverse. Removing it will be a bad idea because A:

-Less carriers will get killed because nobody will undock them.
-No more large turd carriers killed. The last one that was skynetting? Risk adverse my ass. After some planning - got DD'd.

Easy fix:

Can't assign fighters while near a pos shields at 5km ((Carrier is too far to safely get inside and leaves it vulnerable to hotdropping)).

Done and done. Thank you I just fixed eve.

Oh man. Just resubbed after a 2 years break to just find out about these coming changes which I wouldn't support in any ways... Not only the fighters, but also the t3 ships as a whole plus bonus points for nerfing the tengu -once again™-.

What a massive letdown to find out the mindset regarding balance hasn't evolved a crap over the years. Instead of exploring the depths of asymmetrical balance, just keep it on par with ****** medieval fantasy mmorpgs. Homogenize the **** out of everything. Yet devs have the courage to come up with t3 destroyers and bring them onto live server in their current state.

I leave disappointed.
