i am sorry in case i posted this already (i can't find it) but will the sentinel get a little bit more targeting range too? I know EWAR frigs are not on the balancing list but the buff of the crucifier (64km) makes the sentinel very sad (36.5km).
(edit: not to mention that the TD bonus is now better on the crucifier too... edit2: would even make a pilgrim sad)

and i don't like sad sentinels

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

T2 comes Later/After™

All T1 attributes are being buffed almost across the board (a few nerfs) so it would be folly (read: absolute moronic idiocy!) not to migrate some if not all the buffs up the foodchain. T2 resists are nice and all but they will never see use if a 90% option exists at 10% the cost Big smile

i know. Part of my point was that if they buff the ewar of a T1 frig its very likely that they will have to buff it on the T2 version too.. doesn't matter when. So they can do it right away. If they don't do it in parallel this will seriously nerf those more specialized ships till the next expansion.

T2 is nerfed until Winter 2013 at least (best case, Summer is BCs/BSs... Winter is T2 Frigs and maybe Cruisers).

This applies to almost all HACs, Inties, EAFs, some AFs and Caldari command ships.
Recons only remain useful because of their "special" T2 bonus (LR Webs, Points and Neuts).
T2 Logis will be nerfed in FW (in favor of T1 Spt CCs) but remain the norm for Fleet fights in 0.0. Small gangs will use whatever makes sense.

@ Fozzie.

Is there any reason why the Crucifier doesn't have Launchers?

I've been playing around with the Crucifier, and have only found viable fits with Projectiles fitted in it's highs.

A Rocket Crucifier would work really well and be very Amarr. Can we have a 2/2 Turret / Launcher high split pls.

Unsticking, let's make some space for future threads.
