Gona post what every dev who read this is thinking right now:

what the hell does this even mean?

if you make gang boosts need to be on grid you'll nerf mining boosts for all but 3-8 man fleets as 3-4 exhumers can clear a belt in less than a hour so a fleet of 8+ really needs to be in 2+ belts

If i train BC to V and its completed a few hours after the changes on dec. 4th, will i lose all the accumulated skill points?

There's nothing generous about it because there's nothing inherently beneficial about having more SP as far as game mechanics are concerned. All it does is contribute to a higher clone cost under the current system.

With the coming changes could we possible get the 2nd command ship to use the tier 2 skin IE Drake, Myrm, Harby, Cane. It would make sense with the Nighthawk having missiles and the EOS having Drones. Just my 2 cents\

Also A way to make it so that Gall or Amarr pilots don't miss out would be to give different bonuses to the ships lets use Gall and Mimmy for this. So the Astarte would have Siege/Info and the EOS would be Armor/Info. The Slepnier could be Armor/Skirmish and the Claymore could be Siege/Skirmish. Would add variety and also not make one race inherently weak in doing so.

Didn't read 40 pages.

@CCP: totally agree with all except rebalancing Command ships. It's just meaningless and makes no logic at all. Caldari don't use projectiles, Minmatar don't use lasers, WHY WOULD they get warfare bonuses at foreign technologies?

In short term, is a good idea to give CS 4-5% and T3 3% link bonus.
In long term, it's not as easy, because there is a such thing as Titans, that have specific bonus up to 37.5% on his own race, and they can't much walk around between gates or systems.

So what are the odds of changing Pirate faction ship skill requirements to be a touch more focused/specialized? Instead of their current dual-racial requirements?

eg. [Pirate Faction] Frigate, [Pirate Faction] Cruiser, [Pirate Faction] Battleship, [Pirate Faction] Carrier

(Alongside suitably fair SP/time investment related balancing/tweaks/changes if necessary for those with the current skills to fly them).

It seems that this updates and "balancing" are more "nerfs" than anything else.

I understand the hows and the why's, but it is slightly annoying.

Some questions:

When will we see updates to POS permissions and Corporation Permissions.

The system currently, is just plan pathetic, sorry to be so blunt, but it is.

Corporations simply do not have the control or security they need, especially for those of us in WH space.

If I want to assign a player to one hanger, one tab I should be able to. With the current set up you cannot do that.

We need more levels of permissions, if I want someone to be able to online/offline hangers but not the main POS, I should be able to.

When will these incredibly urgent and important updates come our way?

I have question regarding skill training for Command Ship, ie, Combat Command vs. Fleet Command. Currently the two command ships require a slightly different skills. How would you handle the skill difference after there is no differentiation between these two ships? If currently I can fly Absolution, can I use Damnation post the skilling changes?

Sorry if this has been answered before, I cannot find this topic in the previous posts nor in CCP devblogs.

Almost totally agree!!

Prophecy drone boat idea it's a fail develoment idea. Would be much better if CCP dont want to change prophecy resist bonuses to drone bonuses. Optimal bonuses/lvl much better idea.

Drake the most problematic BC in eve. IMHO their hull structure is the main problem, not the missile range.
Atleast 20% bigger HP than other BC and shield extenders easier fitteable than 1600mm plates. (500PG vs 150 pg)
Shield passive regeneration without any shield booster or active repairer 77.3 HP/sec (696HP until 9 seconds), which is better than 2x t2 medium armor repairing (2x320HP/9sec). (standard CFC drake fleet data)
Fully passive drake for high sec PVE itting has, incredible passive shield recharge which is more 2.5x better than any armored BC setup with 2x medium repairer without capacitor!!! (232.5HP/sec) Just remember 2x med armor t2 repairer can heal 2x320HP/9 sec.
It's insane.

Huricane is the second best boat, not need buff or any changes.
Cyclone almost fine, but need some CPU.

Ferox without resist bonuses wont be a popular ship, no matter how many DPS bonuses will be get.
At least 3-4 mid slot need wasting for utility modules like scrambler,resistes,mwd etc. Without resists a short range brawler ship will be just still left behind such a paper tiger.
Need another idea too, for a good balance or the pilots will be using the other blaster boats. (Plus they need more speeds as the other blaster boats)

Brutix almost fine. They have good firepower (756dps with electrons without overheat), but need more speed. The main problem in Eve most of blaster brawler ships slow like a brick.
They are lost their firepower advantages because they cant reach their targets enough fast.
They need more agilities and speed, but not just Brutix, the all blaster ships, because in the past CCP buffed the AC falloff ranges and the Scorch add too much ranges for amarrian ships while they decreasing the ship speeds.

Myrmidon. Nice drone ship. The 5 ogre was much better in the past :P But that's i think would be too overpowered again.
But need drone revisions. The ship is versatile. Easily fitteable to shield or armor tanks. (but that's true so many pilots use Autocannons on them instead hybrid guns)
After all i think, the ship hull build is good. Their problem is the drones. Drones need revision.

Harbinger need just a little cosmetic changes. A little CPU and PG buff, not need anything else.
