I'm not sure if you know it based on your KB (Just an observation not an attack) but a few Km Difference when the buffer between you and death in 5k is a Big deal.
Take this

for example 1-5k less I would of never got kills and would be webbed to kindomcome and dead.

Did you even read OP its not about tracking that stays the same its about optimal and falloff that we are talking about....great research lol Sorana Bonzari is right if this change hits there will be bunch of ships in need of major redoing of their bonuses or they will be utter crap...worth it??? but that IS the point, the hulls that would be hurt the most by this nerf of TEs are already or will be adjusted to balance out the lost ranges, and those that need the nerf the most won't be receiving such changes. |

Wrong damage projection for medium size ships will decrease. Please refer to above post for the definition of damage projection.

SFI Vaga Cynable Vigelnt Exc,,,,, Yes, I read the proposed changes to the Navy Cruisers, and I don't like that the current low tank/high damage ships are all being nerfed on damage pretty severely, but something that specific I left to that specific thread. You have an issue like that over a specific ship class, put it on that thread, this thread is for the mod nerfs, and bringing up specific ship gripes in regards to that is actually rather bad form for an attempt to argue against it. |

Fair point but counter point the TE nerf effects everything but the one ship they already fixed for damage projection. This TE debuff is focused because of the T3 BC grievance so I believe it is relevant to this mod. Again why not put a debuff on what the devs consider to be OP and not debuff everything and rebuff everything but what you originally wanted to debuff? Then we can talk about specific ships.
Edit: For nano PVP tank is almost irrelevant. its about damage projection and speed. The former is being cut and makes a difference. |

Also, the changes to the TEs aren't going through until Odessy, which is when they are doing these other changes, so it will all get put through at the same time, essentially meaning that they will all be balanced out at the same time. |

I try to get fights like this all the time and this is how tactics > massive blob I would hope that it does not take a genius to work out that this character does not take part in PvP. But, much like the vast majority of the player base, I do have other accounts. I do PvP and the I'm about 50/50 for solo kills vs group kills. I'm also about 55/45 for kills/deaths. I am no "1337 PvP'a". I prefer brawling, though I have tried kiting. It is an art form I admire. I just prefer the more visceral brawler approach.
I am also acutley aware, from both sides of the coin, just how important that extra bit of range can be.
Sorana Bonzari wrote:Edit to respond to above:
Again I can care less about tracking I care for damage projection and yes overall damage projection will decrease.
Just in case you don't know: Damage projection = Damage that can be effectively applied at range. For medium size ships like vagas - SFI exct.... this is a big deal and no the damage projection is not fixed due to hull changes. Projection will decrease, your right. No one is arguing that. It will also decrease marginally less than your range, which overall, with 1 TE, is by approximately 7.5%. MODULAR DRONES

And that's exactly why every once in awhile people like me come out of the woodwork and post on the forms to get their voice heard so when that final rebalanced happens and is rolled out that small fleet PVP'er like myself don't get left behind. Ive loved lot of the other changes don't get me wrong but small fleet PVP needs to be heard as just as big of an issue as big fleet pvp where IMHO balancing doesn't even matter. After 100 people are on the field individuals are so diluted +- a little of this and that don't matter.

In my opinion the nerf is already set in stone and this thread exists only for those that are against it to vent their anger. The proposed nerf numbers were intentionally set high so they can lower the nerf later by some % to sooth the anger and they have accomplished their planned nerf goal.
I'm afraid same happened with missiles too.
Please let me believe this isn't so and our voices actually matter to you. |

Agree 100% 1) T3 nerfs have been scheduled, and 2) this is again trying to use a specific ship class to justify an argument against the proposed module change, very weak if not pretty much just invalid reasoning, please provide some reason relevant specific to the module, not whatever ship you feel it should/would affect the most. |

Attack battlecruisers is a recent development. The issues surrounding tracking enhancers has been a long one. That module alone moved Minmatar ships away from close range combat with Gallente. Leaving Gallente as the long close range race while the game was moving towards more dynamic engagements. Where damage projection is a very important part.
However, there was nano-skirmishing even before that change. Even if CCP removed the module we would just go back to using mainly tech 2 ships to skirmish properly instead of basically every ship as we have now.
The change p much just expanded skirmishing from a handfull of ships to most of them now.
By the way. CCP has also introduced force multipliers like ASB's and AAR's. Which are annoying things, but whatever. Also, CCP has never made changes based on solo players input. Tracking enhancers were boosted to help artillery in what was the meta in fleet warfare at the time. Apparently, lasers were just to good and Railguns and more importantly Minmatar needed the help.
I didnt agree but I was not into fleet warfare at the time and never really been in a fleet passed 10 dudes at the time. To me it just seemed like something done to help terribubble pilots (98% of the player) because they are bad v0v
In anycase. More challenges will make you a better pilot and this change is not that serious to even cry about. There have been worse in the near past.

I find the composition of responses to this change to be rather amusing. As expected a majority of posters seem opposed to the TE change, which is unsurprising as the module has become a staple of certain fitting types. The really interesting part though is the other portion of responses. The argument that "this nerf doesn't do anything so get over it" seems to be rather prevalent in many of the posts. I think people are taking this attitude as a pro-nerf stance, which it may be in some cases. However, the fact that people are arguing that a nerf is ok due to the fact that it is not really relevant is an argument that the nerf does not go far enough. There have been significant posts in the threads showing the numbers differences on falloff and optimal on some of the more standard fits that operate in the 20~ km range. It seems that the loss in range falls into the 1-3~ km range, or an overall loss of 5%~ dps for falloff. These are just generalized numbers of course. Essentially the nerf does very little to ships that have solidly established kiting styles, and has more impact on mid range ships. Which is interesting in and of itself as almost all of the examples in this thread pertain to ships with exceptional range with or without TEs
Also the cause of the nerf seems to be interesting. In the OP, Fozzie seems to be motivated by "Minmatar dominance in recent years" Which could be backed up by the fact that twelve out of the top twenty used ships in pvp are minmatar, but that doesn't necessarily establish a link between TE and minmatar being overpowered. I think that people seem to believe that minmatar ships have fallen out of favor, but on the aggregate this is not true. In some arenas such as solo-duo and FW caldari and gallente ships have seen a significant rise in usage, but in the 0.0 blocks minmatar ships are still highly prevalent. As a small gang player myself I of course am going to have a skewed perspective to that type of play and so I would caution people to form their opinions more holistically.
Of course there is the armor shield debate, but I already posted my opinion on that subject in a previous post and don't think it needs repeating. Overall I think people, players and CCP balancers, need to consider whether a nerf that is widely viewed as either bad or ineffective is really the way to go. |

Well CCP are trying to catch up but the meta has changed. I would think CCP F would know this but I'm not sure.
Artillery is the reason why Minmatar ships are being used ALOT more. Alpha is very powerful and some have argued in the past to much so. Autocannons is in the past for the most part and have made way for missiles, lasers and artillery.
I hope CCP does not go after artillery. As far as autocannons? I dont use it that much at all anymore. I do use artillery, missiles and Hybrids to a lesser extent. Nothing in these changes can hurt my gameplay because autocannons have become next to outmoded.
I've been trying to think back to why and when it happened and I can only say I adapted.
The introduction of attack battlecruisers ment I no use for a Hurricane. The BOOST to ewar ment that I used turrents that had far more range to counter tracking disruptors (which is why I use a rail harpy). Artillery's ability to end engagements quickly long before help can arrive or instantly decide an engagement, ment limited losses. Asb's was an issue too and I've also used it against superior forces in terms of numbers.
I can go on to recent advances in fleet doctrines and meta but it just change. I use less ships that use autocannons and rely on ships and weapon systems to deal with our current enviroment vov

So - Armour and Shield fits are being made to be the same in terms of what the end result of the ships will be. Same Speed - damage - range - etc. Or at least CCP are engineering them to move to converge and to be more similar. I never saw the issue with variation. But everything seems to now need to be the same - I don't think making everything the same is balance at its best. I thought CCP had already done something to make Armour tanking better? I thought Armour tanking let you have more tackle and EWar? I thought it gave you more tank than Shield - so you could perhaps mitigate Shield tanking's bigger DPS?
I guess we will all just start using Gyros instead of TEs and forget flying and tactics - we can just charge at one another and turn our guns on - because we'll all be in scram and web range now - (or doing no damage is the other option). So - Fit a TE1 - because that is what the TE2 now will be - or a Gyro2. Hmmm. Yeah - So my TEs are going in the same bucket as the Drone Link Augmentors I used to like went into. Refine.
We could simplify EvE even more. . . . I'm wondering if, going forward, we even need modules. . . . |

the TE nerf is going through at the same time alot of ships are getting range buffs to their hulls if you were paying attention to the appropriate threads, this won't be making OP ships downgraded, it will be to keep a mod from making hulls that are getting the buffs from becoming OP. |

These nerfs are tba getting out of hand because they are stealth nerfing shield tanks on common ships. And yet, as has been previously, and numerously, pointed out, this 'nerf' is actually simply returning the TE back to it's original stats at the same time as a number of hulls are getting alot of range boosts to more then compensate for this to begin with.
The talos and cane are not the ships that are getting range boosts. The T2-TE will be as effective as a T1-TE. They might want to fix that. |

If range is that important, why not using long range weapon instead of pushing short range weapon to the extreme ?
Because IMO, that's the reason for the OPness of TE : they make short range weapon to impinge upon long range weapon operating range. |

Err. Not that I saw.
1 ship got their falloff upgraded. The stabber.
1 ship got their optimal uprated. Some Amarr thing.
I'm sorry - what other hulls are getting their falloff / optimal enhanced to coincide with this nerf? |

You wouldn't, so if you have one ship that does this well then why would you need more. Reason and logic never wins over Stubborn and Convinced (But I still try..) |

What??? Ohh - OK - So we really don't need modules than - because it's the hull that should determine what the ship does - because "in the spirit of balance we need to move buffs from the modules onto the hulls" ? Then just have done with it and get rid of modules.
TE wasn't "giving all ships a buff" - It was only buffing the ships it was fitted to. You wouldn't ever have given a missile boat a TE2 that would be a fail fit. Obviously. Just because you could put a TE on a missile ship doesn't make them OP. |

Check out the threads for the upcoming Navy cruisers and Navy frig mods, check out the already existing changed hulls we have available in the game, the range buffs are there. |

To be perfectly honest, I don't think that TE's should have ever been buffed up like this 4 years ago. I think it's wrong that a passive module should ever out perform an active one. with this nerf, in some respects it still does, but at least not to the point of having people say "wtf are you putting that TC on your ship? get a TE!" I honestly think that since the TC is an active mod, it should actually still get abit of a buff out of all of this yet, too. |
