AF AB Boost incoming:

Quote
One of the upcoming changes we previously mentioned on the features & ideas forum and discussed with the CSM which we want to try out on singularity and gather public feedback on is a boost to assault frigates.

We will add a 15% afterburner speed boost bonus per racial frigate level. This means each assault frigate will get a 75% bonus since racial frigate V is a pre-requisite to fly the ship. The intention is that the assault frigates will be able to close range on their targets to bring their damage to bear and increase their survivability on account of their increased speed and reduced signature radius factor whilst using afterburners.

This is not a final solution and we are aware of related issues such as rocket performance but we have been impressed with the results so far internally that we want to move to the next phase and see what you all think.

This change should hit singularity over the next few days and your constructive feedback is welcome!

Cant bloody wait - AF's will become my ship of choice should this go through without whines changing it any.

Sounds like they might become more usable. Not just some kind of heavy easy to hit ceptor but a ship in their own right.

Typhoon Fleet Issue:

• Slot layout: weapon layout back to 4 turrets and 4 launchers, receives an additional low-slot instead (for a total of eight)

Noticed this - another change to 'phoonFI - this make life better or is stillr etarded stupid?

Dunno... imo the phoon should have a 5/5 layout to start with but a added low gives more choices and another weapons upgrade might give more of a boost than a bonused weapon.

so does that make 'phoon FI 8/4/8?

if so i can see that being a nice PVP ship maybe not as much gank as some but quite versatile.

what ive never understood is why no CN Rokh though that would...well.... rock :)  hehe

a PHFI with a 8/4/8 setup with a 4/4 hislot setup would IMO be better than the 8/4/7 with 5/5. The slight dps increase of the latter can never never make up for the versatility and potential of an extra lowslot: either higher dps through a BCS or the extra tank it could generate, esp with the increased armor hp it got.

retardedness imo

Its handy in small corps - none of this nonsense we have to jump thru now.  However in massive corps with spies all over and alliances too then its going to be "fun" :D

Can't see it work that well for us either... for the medium sized (like ez or similar) it could work. Having both mining and other kinds of fleets.
Small like us rarely have more than one fleet afterall ;)

I r stupid - didnt bring lead for camera>netbook.

Saying that though, havent taken too many pictures this year, acually trying to watch things rather than take piccies of stuff did that too me.

Todays keynotes were epic - yesterdays by Torfi was seemingly just a run up to todays, even though Dominion was its focus.
