Dear players,

Thank you for your feedback. We will now remove and store the official feedback threads. Final numbers will be shared and then translated into Patch Notes when development updates have been finished and QA'd.

Hotfix Bravo has a lot of exciting new things, for both old and new players and to keep our process transparent, I will mention and clarify a couple of things that we, changed, needed to delay or cancel.

Changes to Original Proposal
Changes - Reduced damage increase of TAR a little based on feedback
Changes - Tweaked some of the Shield modules based on feedback
Changes - Tweaked RE's for progression and buffed PRO
Changes - Stacking Penalty for Repairer Modules didn't work as intended (only works on % based modules) so reduced HP/s directly
Changes - PG for Scrambler Rifle only reduced at STD level, due to Amarr slot increase and overall balance
Changes - Vehicle Sig profiles can not be tweaked so infantry notices them easier on the minimap

Delays
Delay - Increased ISK rewards
Delay - Swarm launcher changes - I am not happy with the community consensus and want to keep iterating for a solid compromise. We also found some bugs as well that can have unforeseen consequences when fixed. Lastly, increasing swarm size can affect performance.
Delay - WP for mobile CRUS

Interesting new topics
Turret Damage Profiles
Wrong suit colors

Based on development progress and testing
Maybe - Militia Starter Fits with Racial weapons
Vehicle Free Ambush (All or only Normal, not OMS)

Small blasters with hit detection and small rails damage profiles. Another thing is are armor dropships fixed so that they take proper damage or will they keep their godmode vs swarms?

I know that there wont be any changes to swarm clip size or amounts of missiles fired etc. But that does not explain the situation vs armor tanked dropships (gorgon, grimsnes and incubus). Maybe you misunderstood the problem so let me be clear: im in a match, aiming with my proto swarms at a militia gorgon and the little number on the bottom left says that each of my swarm missiles will deal only 55% damage which is vs shield and armor. Now the same situation vs. a viper the same little number says i will do 80% damage against its shields and 120% when it hits armor. I dont want more missiles, i dont want a bigger clip, what i want is that my swarms actually put a dent into a militia dropship. All you have to do is to edit the resistance profile on armor dropships.
