The Hurricane is being nerfed. It's getting 2 extra turret slots, which will make it harder to fit.

Minmatar are being nerfed. The signaure radius for all Minnie ships is being reduced.

Gallente are being buffed. All drone bays on their ships are now removed, so enemies are no longer able to use smartbombs and such to destroy their DPS.

The Hyperion is being buffed. Its 7.5% armour rep bonus will be replaced by a 10% hull rep bonus.

Hybrids are going to be buffed. Their cycle time is now 0 seconds, because lower is faster.

The Drake is being nerfed. It's getting an extra low slot so people are more likely to armour tank it.

Minmatar are being nerfed. All of their ships will have their masses reduced by 70%.

Gallente are being buffed. All Gallente ship masses will increase by 10000% so they can't be bumped out of blaster optimal.

Gallente will be buffed. All Gallente capacitors will be removed, so they can't be neuted. There may be trouble warping, though.

The Drake is being nerfed. Expect 20% less armour, and 19% more shields.

Hybrids are being buffed. They're going to be more like the very popular pulse lasers, so will be getting higher capacitor usage and fitting requirements.

Gallente are being buffed. 120% faster speed, but 100% slower warp speed.

Minmatar will be nerfed. Artillery are now able to fire all loaded ammunition at once, so they run out of ammo faster.

I for one welcome our new Gallente overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a CEO of a corporation, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their interplanetary spaceships

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

I welcome the Gallente buff and its about time too. Its gonna be cool to see the other 3 races cry a bit about being left out.

Your first hybrid buff is nonsense. Hybrids will instead get a 100% range bonus. Of course damage and tracking will be reduced by 50% so they won´t be overpowered.

I got lost in thought... it was unfamiliar territory.

You forgot the fall off, you know how overpowered they will be if they keep the fall off, reduce it to 0 please.

And +1 for the Hurricane nerf: +2 gun hard points and the penalty to shoot all ammo at once.

Like the capacitors removal idea too, they were useless anyway, free some place for exotic dancers

The hybrid ammo need some nerf too: antimatter -75% range and 200% capacitor use - Iron +500% OP range fall off reduced to 0 tracking multiplier 0.75 and 1thermal dmg 1kin dmg, plus of course will dmg the mods for 20 thermal dmg.
