So it’s not that the Rorqual is getting nerfed, it’s that the new Compression Array effectively does (under the new system) everything you can do with a Rorqual.

It doesn’t make the Rorqual completely worthless, just redundant for anything other than large mining boosts. Since Rorqual’s, in general, never leave the shield bubble.

What really needs to happen here is the Rorqual needs to be given some additional benefits that either:

- Change the Ship so that it makes sense to deploy it outside the Shield Bubble, and risk it as part of a mobile mining fleet operation.
- Give it additional bonuses beyond what the Compression Array has, so it’s still useful within a Shield Bubble

We need people to post to this thread to let CCP know that we have spent a lot of ISK and Training time to use a Rorqual and don’t want to see it kicked down the road to “maybe” be fixed at some later patch.

Are you talking about WH deployment?

I didn't waste any of my money on the now useless rorqual :) best thing to do now is to sell it huh?

1. It's mobile; POSes are not.
2. Cap rebalancing is coming.

Or reprocess it.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

But, yeah, announcing that you plan on obsoleting a ship and have no plans to do anything different with it is a little rough.

Edit: My apologies, there was a mention of something needing to be done, maybe my annoyance was over not having any specific plan.

so, this changes absolutely nothing then? hence, it's not getting nerfed at all and it's basically being completely untouched.

Well, if not then there's always the next ...

And "Summer is coming" doesn't quite have the same ring to it ...

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

Lets just wait and see what half-baked Rorq rebalance idea Rozzie comes up with before we go on a hippy hunger strike to save it...mmkay?

well dont worry too much... we still have the rest of tech II to balance not to mention the rest of Pirate ships... then after all the polishing passes for that stuff then they will go after cap ships... so in reality we are talking about summer 2015 before cap ships are re-balanced.

The rebalancing seems to be picking up speed so Capital rebalance may be there a (little) bit earlier.
