We would like to fix this, but we don't have an ETA on it

Edit: Also, I'll look into the stacking penalties, they shouldn't apply so if they are I have to figure out why.

MagSheath Target Breaker can only be fit on t1 and t2 BS (marauders and black ops). WIth -80% to scan resolution on ships that already have lousy scan resolution, can you explain the logic of this one? I might see a Black Ops using it, if all it is doing is being a covert bridge, or seeding a few BS with these on them in a big fleet of BS, but that scan res penalty is a killer otherwise. I assume that scan res penalty applies whether the module is activated or not (like a cloak module).

Better.

Any news on cap batteries? Either reduce there fittings or MASSIVELY increase (100%-150% cap neut reflection, barr usage on capitals) the counter measure effect.

I noticed that inventing the Drone Damage Amplifier II requires Caldari Encryption Methods. Since this is a drone module, should it require Gallente Encryption Methods?

The small, medium and large versions of the Processor Overclocking Unit blueprints are inconsistent. The small requires charred micro circuits, damaged artificial neural networks and fried interface circuits. The medium requires conductive polymer, damaged artificial neural networks and tripped power circuits. The large requires charred micro circuits, conductive polymer and damaged artificial neural networks. No other rigs change what goes into making them as the size of the rig changes, just how much of each. Is this intentional?

Also, the finished product itself: t1 has a -5% to shield recharge rate, t2 has a -10% to shield recharge rate. First, no other Electronics (or Energy Grid) rigs have a drawback, which is good, as there is no associated skill that can be trained to reduce the drawback. Second, no t2 version of a rig has a worse drawback than the t1 version.

These are breaking patterns that have existed for quite some time. Are these changes to be seen as a new precedent?

Don't forget to make the Ancillary Shield Boosters get bonuses from:

• Ganglink Modules/fleet bonuses
• HG/LG Crystal implant sets
• Blue pills/combat boosters
• Shield boost amplifiers
• WH effects (Cataclysmic Variable)

:D

Not to mention it will make Tracking Disruptors into 'one mod to counter them all' which is a HORRIBLE idea.

- The option to make wardecs mutual seems to have disappeared... or hidden very meticulously. It's still not clear of this can only be done during the 24-hour warm-up or at any point. Need some clarification here, CCP!

- The tooltip for the corporation icons in the war list show 'offender' and 'defender'. It obviously should be 'attacker' and 'defender'. The opposite of 'offender' would be 'victim', but there is no crime, so no 'offender' either.


Typical situation where a ton of players argument it's a bad idea, but CCP (or rather some foolhardy devs) goes ahead and do it anyway. Missiles don't need a counter at the moment, but if they would, it'd have to be a separate module.

Havent used missiles in real pvp* in aaaages but when something is this true one has to QFT...

*other than perhaps xhoring mails with HMLs on a cloaky tangu scout"

We already HAVE a method to counter missiles in the game. It just needs to be implemented properly.

It's defender missiles. The problem is that you have to manually target the incoming missile(s), every time, which is horrendous. If they automatically targeted any and all incoming missiles, then the solution would be to fit a few on a ship in your empty high slots to mitigate the damage.

Since most people group damage, you can SORT OF get away with targeting the group, but all it takes is the guy to do the old school finger across the keys trick and you have a chain of 6 or 8 missiles incoming and no way to physically click and target fast enough. Defender missiles are so useless in the game that I've never heard of anyone ever using them in PVP. Even newbies figure out that they are broken in minutes.

The "rats" do this automatically. This needs to be fixed. Then we'll not need a "nerf" by CCP. Then, if you don't like missiles, fit a defender or two in a small launcher.

EDIT - missiles do have their place, though. Stealth Bombers are great. T2 torps are incredibly useful, as are precision cruises (which will maul an AF or HAC faster than it knew what hit it). But missiles fell out of favor since the nerf years ago made them require almost a year of training to use as well as you can do with blasters or lasers in a few months. For the new players who don't remember back then, missiles are fantastic if and only if you have max skills and sub-skills. For the 5% or EVE that has all ten or so skills trained to level 5, plus BS 5, it's like max skill rail guns are - simply epic. If your skills are at level 3 or 4 in those skills, well, just use beams or rails or whatever. The falloff is harsh.

Making a module nerf them further is just simply insane. This smacks of the old-school Nos idiocy (which thank god they finally fixed). One modue to cripple the enemy ship. Now we'll have one module to nerf all enemy guns.
