CCP Larrikin wrote:Hi m8s, In March, we're releasing a number of balance tweaks and we would love your feedback. WARP DISRUPTION FIELD GENERATORSThe current state of Scripted Warp Disruption Field Generators is a little too oppressive, especially to the small gang PvP scene. We'd like to open up propulsion module options. As such, we're going to make some changes. Changes: - Remove the Warp Scrambling effect from the Focused Warp Disruption Script
- Introduce a new Focused Warp Scrambling Script with a -20% range bonus
The new Focused Warp Scrambling Script will have the following ranges (with max skills): - T1: 16km
- Meta: 18km
- T2: 20km
- Faction: 21km
The blueprint for the Focused Warp Scrambling Script will be available at all the same place & price as the Focused Warp Disruption Script blueprint is available.
RIP my nano-Broadsword for nano-fleets.
Broadsword faction scram 21k, Lachesis faction scram 22.5k or 27k with heat. HICs are great for small nano-fleets to control the range of incoming tackle. This isn't helping small gangs nearly as much as it's hurting them. |

So keep calling it bullshit, it won't make it less true. Na'av wrote:ecause HICs are slow compared to their t1 variants
Roamers are undocking with oracles / BNIs / HFIs / Faction battleships / Command ships everydays and you believe we can't make up a nano HIC fit ? Do you play this game ? Na'av wrote:and slowing down targets that are chasing you is not the point of a kite fleet
What ? Have you ever kited ? Screening everything mwd fitted in a 39,4km radius around your fleet is Golden. I have a nano shield phobos with 600dps rails in a station somewhere. I don't fly it because the orthrus is better for the job of pointing things. Having that sig bloom from MWD is pretty important for missile application and turret tracking.
No you don't. |

HIC's are not the cancer here. It's the Orthrus, Omen Navy Issue, Keres, Tengu gangs. They are already very strong and now will be even stronger. Ok. Nomen and Tengu are cancer now. New. I don't really understand why you need a 40km scram. Bring Keres and Orthrus too. Finally it's more a nerf for the kiters who use HIC, cause they know how to play those ships more than blobers or whatever. So you are admitting that the Keres and Orthrus are overpowered? Thanks. When your best answer is bring the very ships that are the problem, then you need to reevaluate your argument. For the record, I like the Keres. It is a great ship. The Orthrus is also a fine ship. I just like to see more viable counters. I think all warp disruptor and warp scrambler ranges need to be increased. So, I think the underlying assumption here may be faulty, which is that the idea behind this change is to nerf anything other than the HIC. I think CCP are changing this simply because HICs as a class are basically totally eclipsing dedicated EWar platforms. Hence leaving the HIC with a Scram option, rather than simply reverting the old change, but shrinking the range in under that of a scram-range bonused ship. In short, this doesn't feel like the nano-gang nerf people seem to be thinking of it as, so saying "but these ships are the problem!" is assuming CCP sees this as a problem in the first place, or at least is trying to change that at all with this change.
It's not a nano-gang nerf. It's a nano-gang buff. They are removing one of the few viable counters to nano-gangs. If the Lach could scram out to that range it would be one thing. But it can't. They are removing the only ship that can do that on it's own. Lach can get, at max, 35.5k with heat and links. (That's top faction scram) The HIC can get 39.5k scram without needing the help of a command ship. So, they are not just removing the only counter to nano that goes to that range but they Lach Arazu won't even fill the gap as they CAN'T scram to that range. Making nano that much more invulnerable to any other fleet but nano. |
