Tell me though, why we can't we buff the warp speeds as mentioned in the OP? Specifics please.

Because people like me would be getting intercepter like speeds out of things like the rattle.

Are you saying an ascendancy implanted & rigged Rattlesnake would go faster than an ascendancy implanted & rigged Stiletto?

Also, isn't the answer to nerf ascendancy implants and hyperspatial rigs also as part of the proposed changes if you have an issue with new top-speeds of BS's?

Dont think the proposed changes must be done in a vacuum, of not also looking at ascendancies and hyperspatials. The differentials would remain.

The cepter would not be fitting them as it cannot affort to lose the rigs while the battleship can.

Nerfing implant options for everything else because you are impatient and dont want to make sacrifices when fitting a battleship is a terrible way to balance the game. CCP has decided that battleships will warp slower than smaller ships. We have the options to make them faster so use them.

a bs has a hard time losing the 5-10% cpu per rig with fitting one of those rigs

You only need one rig and a few implants to hit 3 au. That is cruiser speed.
