Edited by: Sertan Deras on 24/03/2009 18:19:41 So you're going to make the Scorpion, the only EWar BS, completely worthless in fleet fights, that never happen closer than 120-150km? Instead, you want people to fly the uninsurable Rook to do fleet EWar?
That doesn't seem like the best idea I've heard recently, but if history tells us anything, CCP will completely ignore every concern posted here and implement it anyway. At this point, I take these little dev posts as "this will happen in the future" warnings more than honest discussions on the merits of the idea.

The change to the Scorpion really is the biggest "what the hell are you thinking" here.
Let me think of the last time I used a BS up close.
...
Yah, I've got nothing. Nearly every BS fight I've been in, in the last year, has been at long range. Making the Scorpion close range may be great for low sec ganking and empire wars, but for the really big battles, it would be useless and unused.
If you want to fiddle with jam strength and the Rook and Falcon, that's fine, Leave the Scorpion alone. It's the only viable, and insurable, fleet EWar platform currently.

Why are you guys so dead set and destroying the only good fleet EWar (the Scorpion)?
Look, here's a hint: Most people aren't going to use the very expensive, uninsurable, Rook in fleet fights. They just aren't. Too easy to lose in high lag situations where ship agility is basically meaningless.
Is your intention to just get rid of EWar in long range fleet engagements? Because that seems to be the case. 140km range is not going to cut it in a fleet fight. That will put the Scoprion closer to the enemy snipers than your friendly snipers will be. What do you think is going to happen to the Scorpion in that situation? I can tell you, it's going to get vaporized.
Sorry, the Scorpion changes are just a really bad idea. I am not sure who's pet idea it is, but it's bad.

Edited by: Sertan Deras on 25/03/2009 17:11:36 The one thing in this thread I will disagree with is Caldari PvP uselessness. Even if this goes through, Caldari still has arguably the best sniper in the game (the Rokh), and one of the best small gang/solo DPS HAC's in the game (the Cerberus).
That said, I do wonder sometimes if CCP hasn't realized yet that large scape PVP happens at extreme ranges, not up close and personal.

Just to re-iterate again what someone said a couple of posts back:
The Scorpion isn't broken, don't "fix" it. The problem is, and continues to be, the Falcon. Fix that ship, don't destroy the whole idea of EWar.
