With the new nullifier module, CCP has endorsed a very old play style

High Quality Meme

Coming soon to a null bloc near you!

Sure, you lose some scan resolution, and a bit of alpha off the old T2 gyrostabilizers. Honestly, the scan res issue might make these a bit easier to catch when they're hunting lone targets, but I'm still eagerly awaiting the first bloc to try them out.

TIL: Fozzieclaws are a "very old playstyle".

Six years at least?

They were left aside when CCP implemented the previous changes to nullification... so a year at most since everyone and their mothers were flying them?

They were still used in 2016/2017

I mean that's still about 3-4 years ago...

Nullsec: "Fozzieclaw is the bane of our existence, it was so bad we had to nerf an entire ship class into obscurity for a couple years."

Also Nullsec: "Fozzieclaw should not be a problem. we discussed this in Sunday’s show. No hysteria please."

Your pilots have to hit F2 before you fleet warp them though.

AndodxCloaked•

yes, people have to be more awake when they are in bubbles, otherwise nothing changes.

Besides, punishing slowbrains is an EVE tradition.

AndodxCloaked•

As is tradition.

1
Shalmon_The Craftsmen•

You also have to hit F2 before you warp to a spot protected by bubbles or the bubbles will affect you.

3
AndodxCloaked•

If you have to avoid the drag bubble, yes. If it doesn’t matter, because the mwd speed of the ceptors is good enough to approach the gate in an acceptable timeframe, then it’s just a nuisance.

It makes it more likely that smartbombers can catch your claws.

Im sure it will work great in tidi

MaxnamiPandemic Horde•

since is a "combat ceptor" the bonus of nullification is not good as the tackle one...

but yeah, this will bring some changes to meta ceptors.

Well, only Claw can fit the things without losing a gun.

SaithirGoonswarm Federation•

Taranis can as well, but you need to compact pretty much everything and you're losing a drone.

Fozzie Claws are not about speed or DPS. They are about insta-warping and high alpha at a decent range. Blasters just won't do the trick for that.

Reminder that this is the gameplay that they were trying to fix, meaning CCP did the equivalent of calling in a hit on the wrong person

I think it's more along the lines of sending a pizza instead of the hitman to the required address.

capt_pantslessPandemic Horde•

With the cooldowns and the extra management of a F2 button they're more vulnerable than before.

You can still do the classic windrunner strategy, but good bubble-pressure will leave an occational claw caught, plus the need to wait for the cooldown to happen between each warp-in-and-shoot cycle leaves them much less effective.

1
SerQwaezRote Kapelle•

They still work though, which is what makes this whole thing so hilarious

Warp to ping on field, say press f2 3-2-1 warp, lock fire, squad warp. Rinse repeat.

Do we have time for that is the question how tight is the null window.

2
PrognosticatorofLife•

Gonna be interesting to time a module activation in 10% tidi. Its hard enough to get weapons to alpha primary.

2
rocketbunnyhop•

This is my major concern, you just know it will happen.

2
XyrianCloaked•

I can tell you what will happen. One third of the fleet can't get the module to activate, the second third got it to "activate" but gets stuck in the bubble anyway and the last third gets the module to work properly but it won't shut off again for the rest of the fight.

4
Nira_Meru•

Agreed but that’s the question what’s the margin here?

1
SerQwaezRote Kapelle•

fozzie claws are for bouncing around constellations, most of the time they won't be anywhere near heavy tidi if they're getting flown right

Additionally, for your consideration. A nullified entosis sigil. 835 ehp/s of passive shield repping with plenty of room for snacks.

If this is an old play style wait until I tell you the tale of the artillery Abaddon.

very old?

Windrunners don't really need the scram. Fit a SeBo instead to counter the scan res penalty.

I must have a few of them stuck somewhere in a asset safety box after one of our evictions.
