PLASMA CANNON

Weapons
GÇóWe are increasing the damage of the PLC against vehicles, to help provide more options for anti-vehicle work using light weapons but we are also looking at adding Plasma Cannon variants at a later stage. The Forge Gun will remain as the strongest infantry AV weapon in each tier.
I am happy the Plasma Cannon is getting a rework here is some feedback based on my experience with the PLC. If you want to see me at work with the PLC look at my signature xD.
- If Plasma Cannon varieties are made I strongly suggest no eliminating the projectile drop. That drop is what makes the Plasma Cannon a skillshot weapon.
- The speed of the projectile could use an increase in speed but, although it should be noticeable, it shouldn't be exaggerated. The slowness of the projectile is what balances the PLC against Dropships, and only the elite are able to hit them with PLC's and, even still, it is extremely difficult to hit dropships with the Plasma cannon.
- The reload speed is WAY too slow. 3.5 seconds for a 1 shot weapon is punishing at best. If you do the numbers that plasma cannon has a RoF similar to the breach forge gun. This aspect also severely hinders the PLC as a viable support Anti-infantry weapon since it's one strike and your out.
VEHICLES
The biggest point that was missed in the vehicles section was the price of the tanks themselves. Tanks, at this point in the game, and at least the militia variants, are way too cheap for how effective they are. This makes it so that after a group of 3 players (minimum) with swarms took their time to kill it, and it ain't that easy because you have infantry also shooting at the swarmers, the tanker would just call out another cheap tank. Then rinse and repeat till the game is over because it's just that cheap. This is what a lot of people do
PLANETARY CONQUEST

GÇóIncrease Clone Pack Prices and number of clones in a Clone Pack
Increasing Clone pack prices will only serve to hinder people who don't have districts. This will make it a lot more difficult for people who don have districts to attack people ho do have districts... I would even suggest making clone pack cheaper to encourage the attack of districts. Read the following on an idea on how to make P/Q into an active and involved isk generating mechanic.
PLANETARY CONQUEST
an active way of making isk
To eliminate isk farming in any way, passive isk from planetary conquest should be eliminated. Isk at the end of battle should increase to include all isk lost on a per character basis, original contract amount and enemy isk destroyed... This would create huge rewards for the winning team and major losses for the losing team since the loser gets no isk. It would also make Planetary conquest an active ISK making mechanic and not a passive mechanic where you earn isk without incurring in much action.

The whole point of removing the cloak profile bonus is to force you to choose what you want to be good at....
But you'll be picked up by Caldari scouts and Gallente logistics you say. To this I reply balance again. These are counters to stealth. If they invested more and sacrificed more in fitting than you to find you, then tough, they're going to find you.
This Is a very true... You want to be stealthy you have to choose. Gall logi specializes in finding things, Cal scout does also. I would suggest training into a role that specializes in hiding maybe>? Scouts can't have the best of both worlds; they have to choose just like every other suit does.
The game needs balance and These are some one the most level headed set of balances CCP has done. Very Light and not overdone like it usually is. I feel very grateful that they are making sensible adjustment.
CCP SHANGHAI used to use the ner-bat... Be grateful they put it away in the closet.
