Heyo - it's ship balance time again!

Sounds like you guys are getting a bunch of this on sisi really soon so we might as well get feedback rolling. We are going to hit you with several threads at once so it may take us a few days to start processing and get back to you. Don't worry though I read it all and you are each special to me so let us know what you think!

GOALS

Make them more useful
Make them sensible in relation to the new t1 disruption frigs
Avoid overlap with other classes (interceptors and disruption frigs?)

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS

Increased the range bonus from Electronic Attack Ship skill on all four ships significantly
Slightly increased base hp
Slightly increased maxvelocity
Increased lock range significantly
Increased cap recharge from 1.33/sec to around 2/sec (this is a big deal)

Increasing the range for points/webs/ecm/neuts on these ships should hopefully make them useful enough to show up in lighter/faster fleets that need recon type support but want either faster or cheaper ships doing it. The base stat buffs are to bring them close to where the disruptions frigs are.

The secondary ewar ranges are ridiculous. I'm hearing numbers on the forums like 45km webs before links.

35km neut frigates.

Actually, with the ceptor/EAF buffs, frigate logi, and awesome AFs, proper wolfpax are now really really going to work. Artillery wolves supported by Bursts and Hyenas.

Keres/Hyena combinations are going to be awesome for beyond brawler range fleets, long range point and web/tp with sensor dampening to prevent return lock?

Reminds me why I fell in love with reconships 5 years ago. Now they have comparable bonuses.

Sadow serp scram on a keres has a 21km range. Three bonused damps on a keres damp a BC down to ~16km lock range. Fortunately, the keres has absolutely fuck-all dps  :lol:

Still just ECM for the Caldari  :(

But, I still think Keres/Kitsune SD/ECM teams could be really disruptive to some larger-ship fleet setups.

Now for some sentry gun rebalancing so pirate fleets can actually make use of the bloody things in LowSec...

As a (former I guess) Vagabond/Cynabal pilot, I say down with this Hyena sort of thing.
