i just wonder if this change is now final

Excellent point. How did Null buffs get to SiSi, yet the thread which basically begged for this buff (among other things) was never notified of the change?

For shame

what is strange that both minmatar arty and autocanons can hit targets at 100km distance

but if u talk about hybrids to give them such an ability it gets monstrous

the fallof bonus on tracking enchancers should be reduced to 15% the same as optimal bonus is

and projectiles would loose there OP status and would be more balanced to other turret systems

THE TRACKING ENCHANCERS WITH 30% FALLOF BONUS ARE COUSING ALL THE BALANCE PROBLEMS

And this is to say nothing of the minmatar ships STILL able to speed away if things go sour, while Gallente ships have no defense to speak of.

It's been a LONG time since a dev posted in here. What's going on?

CCP, the proposed Null changes are good, but they do not make the hybrid platform viable. Gallente ships still need some kind of passive defensive mechanic to compete with superior speed of minmatar and superior tanks of Caldari and Amarr.

Command ships as a whole need a good looking at by CCP. The advantage that field commands get over tier2 bcs is rather minimal when looking at the cost and dead end sp investment that the command ships require. The fact that t3s make better off grid boosters than the fleets commands is just icing on the cake.


As far as null changes go... It will certainly have a significant change on medium and large blaster pvp. It will essentially boost dps by a rather significant margin in most close range pvp engagements.

well every time a newbie asked me what to train, i told them minmatar

and if they start arguing how they imagine other races to be better
i just say shut up, and do what grown ups are telling u

so u see the trend
soon, after the most pilots trained for minmatar we have to rename the game from eve-online into winmatar-online

me mayself only 3 months left till perfect minmatar pilot

the thanatos was a nice pve ship
but after the plex nerf it got kinda useless too

so yeah im also for a full reimbursting of the galente SP

Are Devs still paying attention to this?

I personally think the main problem with blasters is that they aren't face **** enough up close. I don't believe they need to be turned into falloff acs. A lot of people will cry at this but to me it makes sense that a gallente ship should be able to be a glass cannon. Get in close and rip them apart before they stand a chance to rip yourself apart. This happens to a certain extent but not to the extent it should, ac's are still as powerful as blasters up close. AC's should still be the medium range powerhouse. But blasters should make people FEAR you getting at 0 to them. Not just be a little scared until they put that neut on you.

Totally rework turret based weapons.

1 New relationship between tracking and transversal velocity. If a hostile ships transversal is greater than your guns tracking then you miss 100% of the time. If it is equal to or greater then you might hit and proceed to part two of the calculation.

2 Projectile weapons are given an apparent velocity and thus flight time. no need to make them physical entities in the game like missiles just do it virtually. This would be where a new calculation based on the aggressors motion prediction, targets evasive manoeuvre, ship signature and projectile flight time should be used. The output should be a sliding value between 0 and 1. Then you have a random number multiplier to let big ships occasionally hit smaller ones to a point but when they do it's catastrophic. i.e. you miss 499 times but the 500th and only hitting shot is a kill.

Unfortunately due to physics Amarr ships should get a value or 1 here as lasers flight time would be near instantaneous but it would be realistic. might need to alter Amarr weapons to make this balanced.

On different classes of ship this would have a massive impact on applied DPS. frig classed hull might need to shift 20-30m to miss a shot and being a nimble ship this would be easy, where as a Titan needs to move 15Km in 3 or 4 seconds, which is not going to happen.
It also changes how damage is applied. as you get closer to an enemy damage goes up and up and up as the time component of the evasive manoeuvre V motion prediction part of the equation is reduced but get too close and you cross the tracking tipping point and suddenly DPS is zero.

This lets weapons keep their current ranges as AC would be short barrel low velocity projectiles so even though they can shoot out to massive distances it's easy to avoid the rounds. where as artillery are going to be long barrel higher velocity projectiles and much more difficult to get out the way of. Rails would have higher still velocities and be harder to avoid and beams near instant and almost impossible to avoid unless you say write in a detectable fire time to energy weapons thus building in a time to the evasion equation.

It is alive becouse the problem is not solved and there is no feedback from CPP.
I will post here until:
- the problem is solved or
- we get good feedback or
- I'm pissed so I unsub and leave this game and company forever.
