Pretty solid from my point of view, give me more things to lose in horrible ways :)

very interresting changes, what about ice/merkoxit/(gas) mining ?

Loving the casting of changes coming out in all the ships.. The Vigil needs much love. Although i Hope it keeps its Minmatar love of speed.. and maybe actually be able to fight with this thing o.O can't friggin wait.

As For Minning Barges.. I love the frig idea!!!!

Though i do have a couple of Questions, since they are being Re balanced via Tank vs Output. Is there going to be a barge/exhumer that specializes in specific ore/mining Ice/Maybe Moon Goo?

oh, goodie

Bring on the frig changes, it'll be nice to fly something other than a Rifter!

regarding new mining frig document, only one p in top

Great changes CCP, but why do you need to wait so long.... Maybe you should bump up your time table so we can see Cruiser and Battlecruiser changes before end of year!!!!

Keep up the good work.

sounds like fun,

I love the coming changing, but something's missing ...

Can we have a dedicated ship to harvest Gas, maybe a t2 ORE frigate with bonus t2 harvester cpu requirement and to gas harvested amount, and with a gas bay?

All welcome changes from what I can see from this outline.

As a Caldari focused corp, yes, the Cormorant sort of sucks for us compared to a thrasher. Right now we're better off in Merlins.

The Kestrel will need a lot more DPS, smaller signature or more speed to justify using it with Rockets. Right now it's best used as a missile kiter rather than a Merlin rocket equivalent (For which the Navy Hookbill is used instead as it works in that role).

Can I make the suggestion that instead of:

Magnate, Heron, Imicus, Probe: strengthening current roles as support frigates. Which mainly means scanning and possibly mini-profession operations, like hacking and codebreaking as well.

That they become drone frigates for each race? At least in addition to any side skills. Otherwise they still won't be popular. Be nice to see some of these hulls make it to regular use.

For the fast frigates:

Executioner, Condor, Atron, Slasher: role dedicated to fast interception with weapon systems that support it – in order, energy turrets, missiles, hybrid turrets, projectile turrets.

They need to have at least some of the bonus that an interceptor gets (reduced MWD signature) to really be more useful. The Caldari Condor and it's T2 variants both need some speed increase, as they are by far the slowest of any race. That would be 'Fine' if they kept the Caldari ability to be agile and fast aligning... but they are no better than any other race, which would at least allow them to orbit faster, despite the reduced speed. Both the T1 and T2 Caldari fast frigates have significant issues with capacitor and fitting when using Hybrids, a Raptor for example is hard to make both fast, and cap stable with a warp disruptor and rails and comes in 2000 m/s slower than the Amarr Malediction and has identical align time with a speed fit. The Condor should act as a base for an eventual overhaul of their agility or speed.

But anyway, keep up the good work I look forward to the changes and using these ships more in Faction Warfare
