Wow. It's kind of surprising, really. After all the huge amounts of change promised for this expansion, in the end we get some new planets, a new IGB, and a new evemail client. |

I think it was a very good blog for numerous reasons.
The way they were headed with motherships was just silly. The whole point as they said themselves was to define the class of each capital ship more, and making it an uber tanked capital killer just doesn't make any sense no matter how you look at it. Realizing they ****ed it up this close to patch day, and starting over was the right decision, so kudos for doing it.
The way dreads are functioning now is also kinda ******ed. Dropping a cap fleet (even without carriers) into battleship fight is pretty much instant win. Out of siege dreads shoot bs's quite well.
With these changes that means dropping dreads in a bs fight wont matter squad. Together with the removal of DD in its current form, this will make fleet fights more enjoyable imo, and open up ways for new tactics.
I am happy they changed the titans to 100% bonus damage only. Having the changed DD and 200% on turrets would just be to insane if you dropped for example 5+ **** on a field. Especially considering the increased ehp.
Sum up: stop whining, they ****ed up with the mom, the rest is fine, get over it! |

And a new sov system that's not even remotely close to what they promised us and mostly reviled by actual nullsec entities, most of which feel they got a bait and switch. Like I said earlier, I'm sure glad I cashed out on my capital character yesterday, before you posted this terrible blog. I got top dollar before capital pilots EVE wide realized you guys were going to screw up capital ships to the nth degree. Thanks for at least waiting a day to post this. |

well the bad part is its split weapons bonuses are now worse than they were before it just had a turret bonus, but on the plus side, now you get to train three seperate weapon skills (large projectile, torpedoes, cruises) to five to be less effective than any other given dread |

God damnit CCP nearly everyone said the original mom changes were the best there was no need to change them back to how they are now. You have made them useful and then ruined them once again to the point they are a completely useless ship.
At least give them the HP buff ffs. |

*fake edit* Never mind, there is no point in defending CCP against you guys as you won't listen. I really hope all of you emo-rage-quit. It'll sure be nicer to read forums that don't contain so much hate and anger. Seriously, get over yourselves. Your not CCP, your not their Devs, I am happy they decided to postpone the changes even if I don't own one. While the original implementation may have been a "great idea" to you guys, obviously CCP found something that didn't fit right.
Oh and the "I am a paying customer" is so bullcrap. If you truly are, quit in defiance. There are a bunch of other MMOs out there, you don't have to stay. The obligatory: "Can I haz your stuffs?"
"You can be late a little while, but you can suck forever". Apparently CCP subscribes to this theory. You guys should too.
To CCP. Thank you for informing us of what your thoughts are behind the capital changes. Its a pity your not changing the MOM now, but I will be ever awaiting what you truly do change in the future. Just so you know, there are people that do care about quality and can wait for these changes. They will be awesome when you figure it out. As this expansion will prove to be.

If CCP hadn't deleted all of the initial posts, you'd know that we're COMPLAINING about the mom changes. I can understand why you'd think we were complainin about the whole blog but the whitewashing goahluahlauaulrualtrualaurlaulahualgualugalg FREE ABATHUR - HAVING GOOD 0.0 IDEAS IS NOT A CRIME. |

Hopefully you realize that with current hp values, mothership dies to 2 - 3 doomsdays, which can be fired even in low sec. Until motherships are boosted, they are nothing more than 16 billion pos ornaments. Given the speed or even competence of ccp balancing, I'm not too hopeful myself. |

Nozh, Abathur, whichever monkey is flinging the poo/ideas at the wall today...
Dreads in siege CANNOT be target painted. Supercapitals CANNOT be target painted. Towers/guns CANNOT be target painted.
The explosion VELOCITY of the citadel weapons, coupled with the much smaller sig radius of most every subcap, made them relatively ineffective to subcaps as long as the subcaps were moving.
The explosion RADIUS of the citadel weapons made them the lone capital weapons unable to be used against most stationary objects in space. Now even a medium tower can sigtank a citadel missile.
Reduce the explosion radius of all citadel missiles by 500m, and let the Guided Missile Precision skill affect the cruise missiles.
The Naglfar might be a loldread, but at least it can hit stuff and damage it. If its not a shield-rigged Leviathan, the phoenix can barely hope to do even that.

I can see how with its current damage bonuses, the Nagfar would become a ridiculous beast.
However turning it back into a mandatory dual-weapon system ship, and throwing another level 5 skill on top of it (Cruise Missiles V) is an incredible nerf.
The Naglfar's bonuses should both remain turret based, but those bonuses should be balanced accordingly. |

The mother ship pilots spamming this thread because they didn't get an über solo pwn mobile proves Nozh's point that the planned changes wasn't going to result in a balanced ship. |

Yes, because making them be one shot by the super titan they AREN'T going to pull (which is far more unbalanced than anything they planned to do with motherships) is definitely a great, Einstein-esque, plan. |

Ok, this sucks bigtime.
Posting a remake of the MS and tells eveyone how great it will be. Making people invest in a MS before dominion so they wont have a problem with the production when the new sov hits the systems.
Waiting a few weeks.... posting a **** blog about changing the stats and then come up with the idea to remove the MS totaly from the patch.
So CCP Nozh, can i send you a bill with 20bn is for the MS i just built and fitted? You can transfer the ISK to my account and you can come and pick up the MS when ever you want. |

Dropping a fleet of dreads into a battleship fight means you lose a fleet of dreads with these changes. It doesn't mean "nothing," that's just dumb. If you drop a bunch of BS into the middle of a cruiser fight the cruisers all die....why the hell wouldn't that be true as you class up the ships? If they want to make them less effective fine, but making dreads completely defenseless against battleships is really dumb. If motherships aren't capital killers than what are they? Currently they will simply be what they have always been...totally useless. They would have been overpowered but you could have simply made them not able to dock and you would have taken care of a good chunk of that problem. The way motherships were going was indeed broken. The problem is that CCP insists on declaring these dramatic changes with little or no qualification about how firm they are. They decide last minute to make motherships uberpowerful beyond belief and then even more last minute roll everything back, but leaving just enough changed to make the current situation even worse. By rolling MS back and leaving the titan changes as is they have nerfed motherships. If being this terrible at planning deserves "kudos" from one of IT's premiere fleet commanders I can see why you guys are still living in empire. |
