I wish CCP was as quick to make good on its promises as it is to back out of them. At this rate by the time we get ambulations were going to be living in space anyway. What a waste of 2-3 months of development. |

Okay, since you deleted my post. Let me phrase it in another way;
CCP, what version of target painters will allow me to target paint sieged dreads, motherships and structures?
And can we please get a nice graph showing the DPS of all XL/Citadel weapon systems on moving targets? |

Seriously, I may not be a capital pilot but even I could tell the S-C changes were good, if you want more time to get everything you announced for the expansion to be done then simply push back the release date, don't just undo 6 months of work just because you have a different view of how things should be done than the guy who has active experience in flying and losing super capital ships. I'd love to know how Abathur let you get away with ruining the work he put into the new S-Cs.

Seriously, guys, all of 0.0 has united against you in this. I know you guys sit around at the office like "Who cares, really? I mean if all of 0.0 stopped playing we'd still get plenty of money. It's all the carebears in highsec that get us paid anyway." But it's not the guys running missions 23x7 that get you new customers.
If you're going to screw with the ships that only get to be used in 0.0 you should probably listen to the people who have actually used them and not some poor noobie dev that didn't realize what he just walked into. |

Meh, maybe you've never seen quick hot drops on a JF? Your MS could be the next to jump into a system with a cloaked hictor, 2 titans jump in, nuke 18bil isk, and then warp to a SS, cloak, and then cyno out once they have the cap. It's not like people have a 50man gang ready at all times. |

Ok, some numbers from sisi. AC: 20+19.2 Pulse: 32+5, +10% dps Blaster: 24+8.8, +21% dps | Weapon | Short | Medium | Long |
|---------+-----------+-----------+-----------|
| AC | 12.5 + 24 | 25 + 24 | 40 + 24 |
| Pulse | 20 + 6.25 | 40 + 6.25 | 64 + 6.25 |
| Blaster | 15 + 11 | 30 + 11 | 48 + 11 | Conclusion: ACs suck. Lowest dps, crap range, and the falloff doesn't really make up for it as pulses can quickly swap to longer-range ammo and still do more dps. Arti: 72+70 Rail: 96+24.5, +8% dps Beam: 72+22.4, +19% dps Again, arties do least damage, worst range, and they can possibly balance it out if you lose a lot of dps and go to deep falloff. Now. We're talking about dreads here. Imagine the FC. "Drop the cyno so we can jump in in deep falloff" - yeah, right. Btw, 30% optimal range bonus on a Moros means it can hit with rails to lock range max. Now. To compensate for the slight drawbacks above, the Naglfar is switched back to a split weapon bonus so it can't get as much of a dps boost as the other dreads from damage mods. Are you serious? 1) Short-range XL weapons should have pulses with lowest dps, longest range, lowest tracking; blasters highest dps, shortest range, best tracking; and ACs medium dps, medium range (similar optimal as blasters, but very large falloff), and medium tracking. Long-range XL weapons should have beams with shortest range, best dps, best tracking; rails with longest range, lowest dps, lowest tracking; and artillery with medium range (but can hit far out thanks to falloff), medium dps, and medium tracking. 2) If the 7.5/7.5 dual projectile bonus was too strong with the new XL projectiles - which is quite possible - how about you reduce them to 5/5 and adjust more from there? Too easy? srsly... |

Your so cute. (all the goonies)
Also, someone is mad his favorite mission hub isn't getting buffed.
*snorts milk out his nose* whahahahahahahahahahahahah. As if my nissiom buh need buffed. Seriously, your all egos that assume that anyone that doesn't agree with you is a high-sec-carebear. |

My excitement has diminished considerably since the initial goals of Dominion were released. Basically this sucks. I expected something awesome like space harpoons and faction bpcs for structures you depoly in your system in beef it up. Instead we (initially) got fed ridiculous sov bills. Ohhh that's so much fun. I have Quicken if I want to play Bill-Pay-Online. So that finally got unstucked enough so people don't quit. Now we have this. "We have this awesome expansion! It's just like the old version of the game but it has a new intro screen with ships you can't fly in it! Wha? Why is veryone leaving?"
I love Nozh's pretty graphs. Reminds me of a guy in my old corp (Tuna? Is that you?) who used to make the exact same graphs showing how uber whatever sniper fit he came up with was. Yet was always absent whenever actual fighting happened. It is obvious to many of us the disconnect between Nozh's graphs and reality of cap ship fights. I've lost three dreads so far, all at ranges under 10km and have been huge bump fests.

Weak weak weak.
CCP has had months to get motherships redesigned to be useful, the bombers was a good step ( adding more space to transport combat ships is also needed )
Get on it CCP, throwing up a white flag is not the answer. |

With the only welcome features being the removal of the AoE doomsday and the faction ship boost, i'm amazed you can even refer to Dominion as an expansion.
To be fair, having "Titans no longer have an area of effect Doomsday" in the patch notes and nothing else whatsoever would definitely be worthy of being called an expansion. DD's were a copulating stupid idea. |

This means NO CHANGES WILL BE MADE TO MOTHERSHIPS IN DOMINION. Since they are part of the original rebalancing effort, the DEPLOYMENT OF FIGHTER BOMBERS WILL ALSO BE POSTPONED.
I suggest going forward with the latest changes. Simply make it so that uber carebears(sec status of 5.5 or higher, faction standing of 9.5 or higher) can purchase them and move them to highsec to run missions in. WTB nyx that can dock and field 15 drones and move around in highsec for mission running. |

also and more on topic:
Motherships getting easily instapoppt by two titans (fyi there are things called double and triple dds atm in game that are very common.....) is more then a little flawed...

The playerbase tested the new motherships over several weeks on SiSi and found them good.
Some genius put you in charge of Abathur's good work, and now you've not only screwed up all the effort that went into testing those ships, now there's to be no improvement at all.
Where is your credibility on caps? Who are you? Have you fought in a supercapital, lost a supercapital on the field?
Is this the new CCP, or the old CCP rearing its terrible, incompetent head?
I can't believe I'm actually QFT-ing a Goon, but this sums it up perfectly. Why the hell would you throw away Abathur's initial changes, changes that the players all agreed were a good idea?Drop this lame excuse of "we can't finish it in time." The changes are done. Put them back where they belong, and put Nozh in charge of something that isn't PvP ship balance. |

Supercapitals are immune to ewar, yet they can be neuted/nos'd. Why not painted?
Why can't structures be target painted?
CCP, you have a choice: fix your code to enable the above, or cut the explosion radius on all citadel missiles by 500m (at least).
And get a dev who actually knows what capitals do to manage capital development. |

CCP's school of thought about nerfing is something called "sledgehammer approach". Forget about fine-tuning, hitting something with a sledgehammer is the best way to nerf something. and now I expect this to be deleted, heh. |

I really just don't get it...
The changes proposed by Abathur were tested, and overall well accepted. Why did you feel the need to screw with that? You basically erased months worth of ideas, work and testing.
What was the point?
Now you're back to square one. Can we at least go back to Abathur's ideas, and discuss why you felt those changes wouldn't have worked - or better yet, USE THEM?
QUOTING MYSELF! What, exactly, do you want in this thread, now? For all of us to hold hands and sing kumbaya, in ignorant bliss? Abathur proposed some nice changes. They were pretty fair and balanced. We tested them. We approved. Then YOU GUYS basically turned around and said "ah screw you guys, we're gonna do THIS instead, and we don't care what you guys think!" How the hell did you expect us to react? And now, after you scrap all that hard work, and throw out some ridiculous changes by someone who OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME HE WORKS ON, and get extreme backlash over it, how the hell do you expect us to react NOW? Serious question: are you guys REALLY this clueless? |
