Took me a while to be sure, didn't pay too much attention at first.
First I noticed a big change compared to 2012 ... ... but at some point I digged deeper into it and noticed another.
The second moment I realised that something changed was, when I reached the tripple-volley thrasher so easily.
The first one was when suddenly the faction police didn't despawn regularly.
Back in 2012 I had to fit an armorplate and had to have AWU high up ... ... to have enough tank to reach the third volley ... ... pushing damage beyond an alpha fitted t2 280mm Artillery Thrasher.
But this year it's easily doable just using shield-tank alone.
So I checked and I know someone who has the updated sentry damage profile on her bio.
To compare....
The EVELOPEDIA Sentry gun entry.
Specifically this ...
Quote:Each sentry gun fires every 1.75 seconds and deals 56 EM, 56 Explosive, 98 Kinetic, and 98 Thermal damage per hit.[2][3] Ignoring resists, this equates to 308 volley damage and 176 DPS per sentry gun. Additionally, sentry guns are unaffected by transversal and sig radius and are therefore particularly deadly to frigates.
Compared to here ... ... https://gate.eveonline.com/Profile/M-L-E ... ... and this:Quote:Sentry guns deal 176dps per gun, 80em-80ex-140ki-140th damage every 2.5 seconds;
Comparing this to damage intake back then ... ... and double checking the combat log of today's ganks ... ... there's more time between sentry turret volleys ...
... which means it's easier to get off more volleys before the tripple-volley thrasher pops. (:
But there's more to come!
(undramatic pause)
(space intentionally left blank)
The faction police despawns much less often!
For those who don't know what that means:
It means that when I bounce around on grid ... ... and reach a few hundred kilometer distance ... ... they start slowboating towards me!
It happens every few bounces now, instead of maybe every ten or twenty, if even!
There were hours with it not happening even once!
Anyhow ....
The police frigate reaches 2.5kmsec max.
Too slow to catch a properly fitted atron, slasher or vigil, btw ... ;)
And this actually makes it more interesting.
First I thought it's too easy-mode to have them not despawn that often ... ... but sometimes getting used to it ends with them suddenly respawning next to you ... ... killing you .... snickers xD
... oh and I shouldn't forget to mention ...
... they have gridwide ECM! :O
This seems a bit much, would rather have it reduced to maxed out realistic in game values, (fleetboosters etc) simply because the faction police isn't an CONCORD NPC.
Thank you for your attention!
I sit down, cross my legs ... and light up a superlong EVE120. :)

Is it because respawning has the small chance that they respawn within shooting range? Quote:they have gridwide ECM! :O Doesn't this nerf outlaw mechanics in hisec a little? Well them not despawning that often really does make it easier, because of the possible long timeouts.
The chance of them surprisekilling you isn't high, as they still have to respawn and the waiting times apply.
You only get killed if you don't pay attention.
Gridwide ECM seems semibalanced around the fact that they don't despawn that often anymore.
Works out for me and the lesser gankers don't really deal with faction police anyway, so I guess it works out. Maybe should put a bit more thought into this, but got no reason tbh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B89wYMsiy0 Screaming Head in a Box --áhttp://i.imgur.com/oEkByYX.jpg Call your mother!

Either way, fun times are being had by all, except people who use autopilot. No nerf.
They once talked about changing sentry damage application, but dropped the idea due to public outcrying.
I can see no nerf to ganking with these changes.
Clearly a slight buff, making it easier to tank just a bit longer. (: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B89wYMsiy0 Screaming Head in a Box --áhttp://i.imgur.com/oEkByYX.jpg Call your mother!

No offense intended toward you because at least you put effort into fixing that POS but the post is still clocking at over 2 pages for about a quarter of a page worth of actual info. Apply for ISD? Until then you might want to not play police while being a hypocrit?
Cheers! You are free to stay out of it.
There is a good reason this thread lacks most of the usual visits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B89wYMsiy0 Screaming Head in a Box --áhttp://i.imgur.com/oEkByYX.jpg Call your mother!
