First major involvement of CCP Rise in balancing, and it's the Tier 3 BCs. Good Man and dammit Kat, this is my job

Hiyo!

My first project here is touching up the set of attack battlecruisers. This class was in a fairly oppressive state following their creation, but the constant upgrades to frigs and cruisers has brought them back in line somewhat. Our goal here is to make a little more room for both battleships and cruisers at both large and small scales. We're doing this through tweaks to scan resolution and signature radius changes for all four, agility tweaks for Naga and Oracle, and mass increase for Talos and Tornado. Hopefully the end result is that they are slightly more vulnerable to probing, bombing, and being caught by tackle than they were.

Note: we are aware that these ships will be getting hit twice. Once from these changes, and once from the TE change. We think they will still be a very strong option in many environments, even if both changes going through as proposed, but we are all ears to discussion.

If they add a bit more mass and remove -5m/sec on all ships, its golden for me.

>easier for probing

I'm not sure what context this would be appropriate in other than on-grid probing ... and sniping at probe-dangerous distances is challenging enough as is. :V
