I guess the ROF reduction is there to put a stop on the gunner stacking, however, you put solo pilots in a very bad position.

1. Did the headshot multipliers for pistols make it? If so which are the numbers
2.is the zoom for the tac sniper lower or higher? and vice versa for standard.
3.how fast is the plasma cannon compared to say a Forge gun?
4. Does the ion pistol still overheat after 1 full charge?

5. Will medic starter fit have racial light weapon?or still the AR?
6 Will gallente Anti-armor have a plasma cannon?

1. yes, 200% ion (had normal 150%), 150% flaylock (didn't have any), bolt 250% (had 150%)
2. higher for standard, lower for tactical
3. dont have a comparison, but imagine 30% faster, that's how much faster it is
3. Yes, but no overheat damage and the seize is much shorter. It feels like a long charge, and you can followup with a few normal shots. It's fun.

What? No Gunnlogi EHP buff? WTH! The Gunnlogi now has the same base EHP as a MEDIUM vehicle...

Dear players,

here are the numbers as they will get implemented. Most of these numbers should be familiar to those of you following the Hotfix Delta discussion threads.

Without further ado, here are the numbers and changes.

Hotfix Delta Numbers

As this Hotfix contains an awful lot of changes, please let us know if you see any suspicious numbers. For example, some eagle-eyes already caught a copy paste error for the Flaylock clip size (s/b 4 not 2). Much appreciated.

Thanks for the participation

Shield hardeners give the highest resistance bonus out of all modules. I think thats a decent thing to have. And most gunnlogis stack shield modules aswell on top of armor.

Plus large rail now do more damage to armor than shield

5. no,AR, it's a normal medic weapon
6. pretty good idea actually, one for another Hotfix.

Three more question for you Rattati :
- are mobile CRU now giving WP ?
- are transport WP mechanic being modified, I saw some talks about it, but I don't know of it's wherabout
- do you have a capsulier or someone from CCP to who I can sent the link of our last PC game against Vengeance Unbound (unlisted on youtube) ? This way, you might see what is the true job of an incubus rail pilot. In the worst case, I will send it to you ingame as soon as I have access to my Eve account.

omg wow does that assault scp nerf **** me off. seriously **** this game... thanks for making the ion pistol the new carthum assault scp you idiots. this really makes me wish i could just bring myself to biomass.

DROPSHIPS

Lol at the people saying the ADS is made of glass. Let's ignore that you're able to fit a Complex 120mm Plate, Complex Light Armor Rep, Afterburner, and proto turret of your choice on any Incubus and have more eHP than a tank.

For the record, I think the combination ADS RoF nerf along with the nerf to the base RoF of the Small Rail is probably going to kill much of the incentive to use the Incubus as an anti-vehicle platform. Though I think the direction of the nerf is a positive one as it (and the eHP buff for Myron/Grimsnes) addresses the huge disparity between STD Dropships and ADS Dropships. We'll need to see how effective the Incubus is as an AV platform going into Delta before coming to any conclusions but I'm willing to bet that the days where an Incubus swoops in and takes out a Tank before it has enough time to find cover are probably over. I'd imagine that Skill Stacking is probably the real reason we're seeing the nerf as dramatic as it is as a stacked Rail Incubus was sort of absurd. And now there's something you actually sacrifice for going into ADS rather than the ADS being an almost objectively better choice given the extra mobility and not having to rely on gunners for kills. I can't deny however that by making the RoF 3% instead of 10% you've removed a hell of a lot of the reason people actually skill into the individual ADS skills instead of just leaving it with having unlocking the ability to use them. It may be prudent to add a secondary bonus (not ammo related) down the line to re-incentivize dumping points into them

I'm actually more worried about the Python pilots in this scenario as the 15% (at max) RoF to Missiles doesn't seem justified compared to how much more fragile they are compared to the Incubus. I hope that we'll be tracking the effect of these changes closely as even pre-Delta I thought the Python's usefulness compared to the Incubus was dubious given the significant hit in tank one takes as a result.

Damage Profile stuff~

Probably means i'll be skilling into Shield Upgrades and Complex Shield Extenders to stick in the highs for my Gal. Heavy as having extra shields is going to be pretty important in HMG battles. May use some of my SP to max out HMG Proficiency while I'm at it.

iam forge gun guner and ADS pilot... and i must say... you killed dropships now.... afterburner is the only one think what can save your ass in dropship...
ADS is like paper plane... and if you cannot run away.... its the end + ROF nerf? why you did not delete em from the game? it will be totaly useless....

can i get back my lost SP in dropships please?

Yes we can fit a 120 complex armor plate. However, it is useless... You are too slow if you fit that (even with the plate weight reduction skill at 5). If you are slow, you are dead, it is true today, and with delta, well it will be even truer

But if you pilot python only, I understand you feel happy about the ROF reduction...

As for the python, what was not normal was the inverted bonus on shield/armor on the rail turret, if that is corrected, pythons will no longer be more fragile. I currently play mine with shield extender, shield booster and afterburner and except if I don't fly correctly or if I'm exposed while out of active modules I can survive entire games without being destroyed.

The Assault Scrambler Pistol still has a substantial range advantage over the Ion Pistol, and I believe it still has a substantially greater head shot bonus.
