I dont think I've ever even given out moeny for MRT. We always wait for LRM. Why?Its free. It becomes end-game tech, and a whoring platform as well. But hey, ya know, dont listen to me /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />
I think the "free" part is precisely the problem Noir's trying to solve.

make 2 versions of lrm AB
mape PT bbrs free, but they mount a version of lrm AB that costs money, normal bombers get it free (i think we have plenty of free use masks for missiles)

My point is not so much the bombing capabilities have been drasticly reduced, but the stopping power of my team has been as well. Requesting money for a whoring platform that is nowhere near as good as say, a belteres omni, which is same price, but has cost way more to get at this point.

If anything Bios hasn't reverted enough to 0440, whichever, we'll see if Bios was 'nerfed' enough. The one minute miner is perhaps still too much and unneeded, the cost back to 4k is good. The changes to GS probably go a long way to helping balance Bios (even though it's a global change), since Bios use GS more then any other faction.
I was not here in 0440, but I read the changes that were given to them in 0450.
Musta really sucked ^.-.
Note- I am still for bios miners at 3k a pop. Other changes can remain as is.

Nah, BIOS is still too strong with 3K...as about now it's probably as balanced as can be.

Sounds like some awesome changes Noir, thanks /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> I'm excited to see what Dis3 is like....
MW, become a good commander THEN complain about balance. BIOS needed the nerf stick, hopefully this will be a bit better.

Yes. That's the point. Noir did not intend for it to be a whoring platform, he intended it to be a bombing ship. Since it now costs money to launch no matter what, it's less likely to be rushed as whoring tech (as it's too expensive to get the whole team in for dogfighting).

More testing needed. More Nix and TF. Don't forget the SY signature changes, which ultimately make Frigates and Bios Caps more sneaky. Need to see some new Laser Blossom vs. Cap camps.
Just plain needs more testing.
