Are there going to be new ships that will be able to reduce the effective area of the Command Bursts?

Not being a Slowy Muldune here but if a Anti-Command Burst Ship simply wanted too see fleets run in all directions as the bonuses flicker on and off shouldn't an attacking fleet have the option to ECM the Command Bursts with the Command Burst being able to effective counter the ECM attack?

We already discussed the rig. The rig is only slated to give +1 command burst processor. The "25%" is a notation for tech II command processors.

yeah meant mod either way why do they have a higher base yet lower max?

some one who is cloaked can't hurt you

some one who is afk really can't hurt you

they can't hurt you

they can help some one else hurt you or they can decloak and hurt you but while cloaked they cant touch you

I thought there was going to be one command burst highslot module per boost category. Meaning a separate module for shield, armor, info, skirmish, and mining. Although some have said why not just further condense to just 1 module and then provide the ammo/scripts to select the boost you want to boost.

But anyway, assuming it's the former system (5 types of command burst modules), then you wouldn't be able to rescript a shield module to give armor boosts. You'd have to use a separate boost module you have fitted at the same time or else use a mobile depot to swap out modules. the ammo types will only swap between the 3 subtypes of each main type, or so it appears is the plan for now.



Re: #2: that'd be nice, as I think 5 maximum boosts would be a lot better for command ships than 4 maximum boosts... but seeing as how t2 ships are limited to 2 rig slots, I doubt they're going to make an exception for command ships, when they only have 2 rig slots now, same as the other t2 ships. I think instead they should raise the proposed "default/base 2 boosts" limit back up to the current 3 base boost modules that command ships currently have access to without using command processors.

Re: #3: I think they're going to be pretty extensive. Not only PG/CPU changes but also slot layout changes, bonuses, base amounts of shield/armor/hull HP, etc. Maybe resists, too.

and re: #4: Based on the current durations, though, if you try to boost both "A" and "B" effects from a single module by reloading ammo/changing scripts, you will not be able to start a 2nd cycle of the "A" effect boost at the moment the 1st cycle ends. Which means if it's something really important to the fleet around the command ship, the fleet might be screwed. A bit dangerous. Would only be good for less vital boosts, like some of the info ones/the MWD/AB skirmish one. Can't see doing that with the shield/armor tank ones and the sig radius/web range skirmish ones. Too crucial to keep those going constantly in many situations.



Isn't the MF implant like 50 mil ISK?

Anyway, Cybernetics 5 will still be useful for +5s and for +6% combat hardwiring implants, so... still plenty of reasons to have it besides mindlinks.

I don't see the issue with needing to put an asset on grid in order to reap the benefits. When you can just keep an orca safely tucked on the undock what is the downside to using it? Why would anyone with access to an orca not use one?

Well I geuss I am a super-minority here then. Anybody else use their Rorq for hauling/surveying/faction dread ratting?

Thank you for removing every reason I trained these skills. They are now useless to me.

I do not like this change as I see it following CCP's consistent theme of only making changes to the game to make combat less likely to occur.

For me, when gang links are used it is almost exclusively for tackling. Usually that would mean the Interdiction Maneuvers link, but some others help a little as well. Removing the point range bonus already applied to your tackler as soon as the land on grid will be another huge nerf to tackling. These point bonuses are needed because CCP has already gone out of their way to give every advantage in the book to your intended target. Not only are at baseline they likely to be 100km off your warp in and algined, but MWD's now more or less accelerate at afterburner speeds following the old, over-zealous "nano-nerfs" affecting every ship that fits a MWD. You probably need a long range scram with your long range point as well because they gave them the escape tool of the MJD as well. Good lucky keeping them there with your webs that are not as effective as they were originally intended to be. And of course how will you even know when to look for your target or if they unsubbed a year ago now that CCP apparently removed the watchlist to make eve once again a less risky place. I could keep going forever.

On top of everything, in typical CCP fashion they go one step further from what was intended in the first place of their redesign and remove all bonuses from the gang skills themselves?
