I’ve confirmed this and clarified the wording a bit to make it not sound like there might be additional bonuses coming as well.

The update to Combat Interceptors will see the Claw, Crusader, Taranis, and Raptor receive a 100% bonus added to the benefits of overheating Afterburners and Microwarpdrives.

There’s a chance chat is still down for some users. Will let you know once service is fully restored.

I like it! I might not be able to take a look at this until next week but I’ve added this to my to-do list to look into when I have a spare little chunk of time.

Comment

Been a busy week or two here so I apologize if I’ve missed some stuff. Feel free to @ me.

We have just experienced a mass disconnection of players from Tranquility and are currently investigating.

We will let you know as we have further information.

Update 17:54: Some players are having success reconnecting but we’re still investigating connection instability and ongoing issues with chat.

Update - Resolved 18:46: Connectivity to Tranquility is stable. Chat services should be restored at this time - if you are still having an issue you may need to log out and back in to restore functionality.

I think this might just be slightly confusing language. I’ll double check and see if we can clarify it a bit, but to my knowledge it’s only the one change.

Comment

Update!

We forgot to include changes to the role bonuses of the Eris. They have now been added.

  • Gallente Destroyer bonus changed to “5% bonus to small hybrid turret rate of fire per level” (was 10% bonus to small hybrid turret optimal range)
  • Interdictor bonus changed to “15% reduced mass penalty from armor plates per level” (was 5% bonus to small hybrid turret rate of fire)

Subsequent wubbles will only reset the duration and will not stack - however if you apply a stasis webifier module to someone who is wubbled the effects will stack.

“Wubble” is going to be a thing and we’re not going to fight it.

Hang in there :wink:

We’re just putting up the webs :spider_web: for decoration

Comment

This is correct. It still takes 60 seconds to reload or switch ammo so you need to make a choice (or bring 2 dictors).

Comment

It is not a bubble, it works more like a command burst (that applies to more than just your fleet mates)

Comment

I’d assume because making that match would have been more disruptive in terms of altering what bonuses were coming from which skills, particularly as not everyone is at level 5.

Comment

Great question - checking now and will update this comment momentarily once I have an answer.

Update: Because it uses the same interdiction sphere launcher module it cannot be used in lowsec (because the module simply cannot be activated in lowsec).

Comment

No, as it’s not an interdiction effect. It uses the same resistance rules as a normal stasis webifier module.

Comment

Sabre is already quite strong, this is just rounding out the others to help them fill additional niches.

It has a short delay, so you may just be able to drop it and bounce out before it goes off.

Bubble Fearing Capsuleers,

The new Howling Interdictors update is coming on 27 October, screaming its way into EVE Online, bringing changes, variety and balance to Interdictors and Combat Interceptors!

The choice of which Interdictor to use for a specific purpose in-game becomes more interesting with changes to Power Grid and CPU usage, velocity, ship bonuses and more to some vessels in this category.

The changes in full are as follows:

Eris:

  • CPU increased to 250 tf (was 210)
  • Power Grid increased to 71 MW (was 64)
  • Max velocity to 316 m/s (was 305)
  • Signature radius to 78 m (was 85)
  • Mass reduced to 1,100,000 t (was 1,200,000)
  • Gallente Destroyer bonus changed to “5% bonus to small hybrid turret rate of fire per level” (was 10% bonus to small hybrid turret optimal range)
  • Interdictor bonus changed to “15% reduced mass penalty from armor plates per level” (was 5% bonus to small hybrid turret rat...

That’s a good one. Perhaps I’d wrap it into a larger ‘hunting’ class and talk about combat scanning as well.

Comment

I’m open for suggestions on topics. It’s tricky to try and hit that sweet spot of useful new player information that a lot of experienced players may not have a full understanding of to please both audiences.

Comment

You beat me to posting my own MS Paint diagrams :sweat_smile:

It was fun, glad you found it valuable!

There was also a tackle class I did before this one that covered:
tracking
manual piloting
basic tackle
advanced maneuvers (slingshot)
advanced tackling guide

Tackle Twitch VOD
