no it wont. goon has fleets upon fleets of ships.
loseing a carrier or super carrier is peanuts to them

for uss the normal players its our homes our lives and our game play.

thats what you dont understand that this nerf will break.

Correct - Goons have fleet upon fleet of these exact ships which now make less isk per hour and mine less than they did before. They are more heavily invested, and will be directly impacted more than anybody else because they were doing more than anybody else.

Regardless, it all gets back to what I said before - you need to figure out what it is that you care the most about - ratting in a carrier or the money you make doing it.

If you want to make Rorquals less frequent in belts, why not just up their build requirements, it was done with faction titans and supers, does the rorqual not belong to ORE faction? make it a faction ship and increase its build requirements significantly, making it much harder to build is a better solution than this back and forth buffing and nerfing.

Alright, thank you for the response. Time will tell either way.

[Luigi_mon-de-sound]

I’m a little disappointed on the Caracal Navy Issue Changes, adding a drone bay isn’t really helping it.

@Shidou_Asami

CSM dont play the game like normal players do and proboly got elected through Power house Alliances and we normal simpletons will pay the price.

I’m just a line member. I mine, I rat, I run missions, I PvP. Not sure what you mean by this, beyond whining.

[Makshima_Shogo]

A better solution might be to spawn different rat’s of higher sig’s in certain anom’s that are more suited to cap’s (Maybe a new anom called forsaken sanctum), leaving more nerfing to application as a viable option.

[Vollhov_Jr]

How nice I don’t give a damn about Capital Ships
It would be cool all UP large Energy Turrets

[FusaI]

If every rorq pilot quits the game we will plex accounts with 200M isk

@uziel99

So when are they going to make the Excavator costs more inline with their greatly reduced capability? Not once have the material requirements changed despite many double digit percentage nerfs.

I’ve already asked for this.

This is a good idea, but would either need a capital specific anom or would screw over subcaps by forcing them out of sanctums/havens.

@Le_Hiunguritza

Btw, wasn’t it just a bit easier to just nerf bounty’s of NPC for 10-20%?

You think the complaining is loud now, that would have burst your eardrums.

@Brisc_Rubal

I’ve already asked for this.

im shocked you could aktually ask for something to help normal players. guess miracles do exist ?
im sorry but my faith in CSM is about as low as my faith in Clean air and Clean water to everyone on the planet.

I think that would cause a large die off from sodium poisoning

[BruceLee_Xadi]

Oh really? Did you miss the monthly economic report? Plenty of hi sec regions brought in more mining isk then null. The kador region for instance has tons of. 05 systems with moon mining that will be more profitable to mine vs the risk of rorq in null. So tell us again how unlikely this is? It’s already happening and you are telling us it isnt!

[Paulo_Constantino]

great job…mass unsubs incoming

[BruceLee_Xadi]

Rorqs and carriers should have reduced costs as well.

[Metal_Precious]

Are we the only two who can actually see this? This is a BAD BAD move.

[Makshima_Shogo]

This is the biggest problem with leaving broken mechanics in the game too long people get so used it that without using logic, start to feel is how it’s meant to be and then their world ends when the game is finally balanced.

[Shidou_Asami]

to be honest there would be a even better solution to the nerf.
Instead of nerfing NSA
why not just make it “you can earn x amount of isk per month on ur account from Rats npc bounties”
problem solved and normal players would be UNHURT!

[Sepheir_Sepheron]

Did everyone forget that normal sensor boosters/scan res rigs exist? NSA isn’t required.

[Eimar_Akytamku]

It’s unbelievably far-fetched to even try to compare HS mining to NS mining.

Moon mining in HS will, at the most, net you 50 mil / hour using an orca. How much do you get from moon mining an r64 with a rorqual again?
