Disallow links inside a pos and make the links increase sig radius when active: problem solved

next!

Boosters should only work within e.g. an invisible 200 km radius bubble and be blocked by POS shields, otherwise, there would be too much messing around with Grid-Fu.

[edit]:



That would nerf on-grid boosting even harder.

The difference in boosting strength is neglectable.
For comparison: The point range difference between loki and claymore links on an overheated rf point is 53.8->52.3.
The speed difference on an ab tengu is 2664->2613
what sells for the t3 option is indeed the bubble interdiction and the cloak, so you can simultanously use it as a scout, albeit still being in danger of losing a 500m+ ship to a gatecamp.
Removing command processor would make t3s not an option anymore. There is no balance between **** and not ****. Having only 1 link is a waste of a fleet boosting slot (no matter how big your fleet is, each member can only have up to 3 people boosting him).
People would switch from lokis to claymores but still have them offgrid, however they would need yet another alt account for scouting in a covops, after all who wants to use a main for scouting :)

Personally, i really dont see where all this hate is coming from. Sure some people use it to reduce the risk of dying and make 1on1s frustrating. Other people use 200km scorpions and orcas on a gate for their gatecamps. EVE isnt fair. Links allow small gangs to effectively dance around big gangs and pick off targets, but its not like there is no counter to that. Why do they have to suffer because someone felt betrayed when he lost his assault frigate in a 1on1 to a boosted frigate?

falcon nerf

With the coming of ongrid boosting.

I recommend a significant tank buff and bonus changes to command ships.

Fleet commandships are meant to tank and give boosts, not to deal dps- wasted bonus that does not help its true role.

All command ships should have these bonuses: 5% tank resists, 10% tank hitpoints, 3-5% command bonus and then an additional 25-50% bonus to related gang bonuses to fleet.(just like titans)

Electronic superiority.

Eos: lose the drones and hybrid bonus. Eos will give 50-75% greater bonus to Tracking disruptor, ECM, Target Painters, Remote Sensor Damps, Tracking link, Remote ECCM, and Remote Sensor Booster effects to fleet members.

Siege Fortification.

Vulture: Lose the pointless double range bonus and give 25-50% greater Shield HP to fleet members.

Superior Mobility and Response.

Claymore: Lost the projectile weapon bonus and give 25-50% greater ship velocity to fleet members.

Armor Reinforcement.

Damnation: Lose the missile bonus and give 25-50% greater Armor HP to fleet members.

Missing the point. Tons of people had falcon alts and I'm sure there were people just like you saying "They'll never nerf falcons, it'll make people unsub their second accounts".

CCP aren't dumb enough to think short term alt subscriptions are better for their bottom line than long-term game balance.

No - actually, it has far less impact. A falcon alt used to be able to jam from 200+ km away, but still had to be on grid - was it lame due to being completely risk-free? Yes - but at least it was on grid. 'because of falcon' was in every second post on the forums. Yet it was less frecked up than current T3 boosters.

Using my porposal, it would still be more lame and involving less risk than using a falcon alt.





I thought you multiboxed using your off-grid-booster alt?

Or did i mix things up and you solo in your off grid booster? Must be tremendously interesting and action-packed to fly...

In case you actually dual-box using your offgrid, you could also use your command ship on grid and fly a glass cannon on the other account, maybe?

My main has CS V tqvm. And unless you're FCing, CS are bad to fly and i can tell you that from extensive experience. You are essentially following people around and whoring killmails. Scimitars (dude above) are awesome fun to fly.

To be honest I could just as easily duel box with an on grid ship and it wouldn't make any difference. It's just convenient for me to have my alt in the same corp is all. Inb4 omg neutral boosters nerf plox.

PS. You are all fags.

PPS. As for the tart above calling me a wanker. I will hand you your arse any day of the week mate. Hit me up in game.

I think he was referring to safety, not to not getting to crunch rocks with his Rorqual. IIRC, deploying a Rorq works like sieging a dread. You wouldn't siege a dread without plenty of battleship support, so following Max's reasoning, you would need battleship support for Rorqual-supported mining fleets.

I don't doubt it. Not only am I bad at PvP, but I also do not have boosts.
