So the bonuses for the Thanny and nyx aren't terrible?

Also calling me boat has got to be the most offensive slur ever launched upon my honor

Read before you whine.

There are plenty of things to whine about here, but needing a new skill to use special new fighters isn't one of them.

Well support fighters don't exist now...so yes.
As for the light fighters, yes you do. Sorry about that. We seeded it as soon as we could to try and give you guys lots of time to train it. It has to do with restrictions on how we can apply skill bonuses for fighters (and drones).

@CCP Larrikin

How are we supposed to move our fighters and bombers from the drone bay to the new figther hanger. Trying to figure that out on SISI right now. It is still showing me drones in the drone window but I can not move them at all.

Still, no reason I can think of that they cost 100m each and have such high multipliers. For every other capital weapon the books are quite cheap (cap guns = 15m, TWU/TLR = 25m). Pretty distasteful for carriers/SCS to have to pay 200m to use the drones already in their bays.

E: A better way to do it in my opinion would be to make the base fighter skill grant use of all fighters. The Heavy/Light/Support fighter books would be trainable at fighters level V and renamed as specialization skills for the use of t2 fighters. I'm just really not sure it's necessary for supercarriers to require nearly 20m SP in drones alone to just use their t2 weapons with maxed support skills. As a point of comparison you can get a titan to do the same including DD V for around 11m SP in gunnery if you can settle for weapon spec IV.

Apologies if I botched my math/analysis, but it looks like this change will significantly widen the Aeon/Wyvern vs. Nyx/Hel EHP gap at the same time it reduces the damage gap, which seems a bit odd.

Here's my quick write up:

Doubling the EHP advantage of Aeons and Wyverns and closing the damage gap by more than half makes sense how?

Do all drone damage bonuses apply to the fighters' special abilities ? Do RoF bonuses reduce the cooldown on special abilities ?

Made a video on the new skills at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g5C1wIIXyiM and my question is... with the new "Doomsday Rapid Firing" skill,

will it be applied to the Citadel doomsday weapons as well?

I commented about this in the carriers thread here, but see more explanation in this reply here. OK, makes more sense that there's a technical reason for a new skill. But why not move the existing Fighters skill bonus into ship role bonuses, or just buff the fighters? (To avoid creating a new Light Fighters skill when the existing Fighters skill could be used instead.)
