EXPANSION ABOUT NERFS, Because Missiles were ok for 6 years now but now they're overpowered.
a.) PVE
1. All missile ships are now obsolete (very low range and decreased damage)
2. All Drone ships are now obsolete due to new AI (your drones get targeted as soon as you deploy them)
3. All ships that rely on drones for protection against frigates are obsolete
4. NPC's tracking disruptor now affects optimal range and falloff instead of just optimal range, which makes 800mm's minmatar ships obsolete in pve.
5. All npc complexes and ark missions are now insanely hard to do, you can't use drones
6. There are only few ships that can save you from mission if you loose all of your drones and get stuck (scrambled with npc agression).
7. New meta 9 - 14 drone modules are obsolete for pve, since ai will always shoot your drones.
8. If you use marauders or other ships for guristas missions you'll get perma jammed, there's nothing you can do since you can't use drones.
b). PVP
1. All Heavy Missile ships are now obsolete
2. Drake is worst battlecruiser for pvp
3. Hurricane got nerfed so it is kinda useless now
4. Tengu now sucks compared to other t-3's
5. Very hard to gank someone ratting in low sec or 0.0 with stealth bombers or frigate since npc's will switch targets
Lets see...
PvE:
1. Golem, Raven, any ship that uses HAM's or Rockets. These all just got a nice buff making them far from useless.
2. If you literally only ever relied on drones to complete a mission you were doing it wrong anyway.
3. See above.
4. Don't fly anymore so can't comment.
5. Oh noes, things aren't easy peasy ISK printers now? That's a shame. How about you adapt?
6. As with numbers 2 and 3. You seem to be stuck in a logic loop at this point.
7. AI always shot at your drones, now they do it a little more. Drones mods are still effective, please adapt.
8. I don't even...How about not accepting the mission? Or I don't know.......take someone with you!! Would you like your nose wiped as well as your hand held?
As for the PvP side of things I am less knowledgeable and therefore not qualified to make definitive statements. But considering your "Facts" I don't think I can do any worse.
1. This is called rebalancing. People used FOTM, it gets balanced, people switch to new FOTM and so on. See a pattern?
2. See above.
3. Please qualify your assertion with some actual facts. I fly the Hurricane and it seems to work just fine for me. Adapt.
4. This is just a stupid comment. I also fly a maxed out HAMgu, believe me, it is far from useless.
5. Awww, you mean you might have to work for your kills now? That's a crying shame.....
In summation, it appears you have no idea what game you are playing.
