We will be trying to make simple tweaks to make this game more fun and fair for everyone. Let me just kick of the discussion by paraphrasing a few common complaints.

1) Cheap glass cannons are too effective
2) Dmg modifiers need to be brought into the fold after hardener nerf
3) Madrugal triple reppers are too effective
4) Very high top speed allows many vehicles to blast into cover and rep to full health at very little risk
5) Shield tanking is less viable than armor right now

Let me also clarify, our stated design goals are for Large Blasters to be for a short range Anti-Vehicle role with Infantry suppression while Small Blasters are intended to be for an Anti-Infantry role.

The floor is open.

You realize that increasing vehicle-vehicle TTK is essentially a buff to vehicles and a nerf to infantry? At present the only realistic counters to high SP tanks and ADSes are burst damage (e.g. railgun tank with damage mods). If you remove these counters by increasing TTK, high SP vehicle users will be in full time infantry farming mode.

3) Just curious...is is possible to tweak the reticle for small turrets?

Stacking pilot skills in ADS to get 100% RoF instead of 50% makes vehicle TTK too low. You can kill basically every vehicle in the game in a single pass that way. Please remove pilot stacking from ADS and only use the highest skill of the pilot or gunner, not both

That is not a productive statement, but it is awesome. +1

We propose the following:

1) Stacking penalties on Armor Repairers
2) Reduction and progression to Damage Amplifiers
3) Reduction of Large rail damage and ROF, increase of Heat Cost

We won't change shield modules for tanks this time around, but with these changes Shield tanked vehicles should be more viable and Armor tanked a little less, such as the Madrugar and ADS.

Here are the numbers:

It's all needed to bring them back to 1.6 levels. No railgun in 1.6 had everything like it does now. Railguns just can't have negligible heat costs, high RoF, AND high damage.

nerf to damage mod = nerf to missiles, no more killing shield tanks...

Gallente made railguns................

no.

1: this exists

2: rockets and torpedos exists.

Yea, I call bullshit.

Even then, by itself it's still way too strong. This brings it back to 1.6 levels. Deal with it.

I find it curious how harshly Repairers were hit when stacking was seen as the biggest problem:

100 -> 80 (20%)
120 -> 90 (25%)
145 -> 110 (24.14%)

CCP has a tendency of nerfing too many things at once. "Tanks are too powerful so lets lower their PG, remove Vehicle Engineering, and increase the damage of AV weapons." "Wow, Tanks are too weak so lets remake them completely and lower the damage of AV weapons." "Wow, Tanks are repairing too much damage when they stack Armor Repairers so lets add a Stacking Penalty and nerf the amount that is repaired." This has the potential of causing them same thing as before. Why not do the Stacking Penalty and if Repairers are still too powerful then drop the amount? If it has already been proposed, is there harm in saying "we may do this but we want to see how the first rounds of balance adjustments go; if they are still too effective we will reduce the amount"?

It is kind of funny how you are going about it. "We want to see different styles of Madrugars. At the moment, Double or Triple Repairer is too powerful and to common so we are lowering the Repair rate." Which will have the opposite result to an extent on the people that ran 1 Repairer because they will want to run another to get back to what they were Repairing before.

I dunno.

I've been saying that we should go back to 1.6 fitting style. It wasn't perfect, but it was a hell of a lot better imo.
