Which is a shame.

I don't see what AS nerf has to do with enabling an engi to have a setup that works well for all three primary functions available to them so I will just stick with my position that there shouldn't be a distinction in the first place, even if there are special cases where someone can do 2 of those 3 with a specific setup.
I guess that's just a matter of opinion. Lucky for most of us, FC sides with the options they are implementing.
Hm, at first I thought this change would be beneficial to engies, and made sense.
Although now I'm wondering if this will not result in a loss of diversity among setups. /shrugs
That's nothing to do with lazy so get off your moral high horse buddy. I guess we can all take satisfaction that FC is siding with lazy people everywhere so they don't have to gimp their perks and have a second set of gear to do what is intended with the profession.
The only diversity will be the loss of "I don't have tradeskills, sorry" when asking an engi to make something for you.
I think you're injecting some tone in my statement which is absent. Try removing the angst from your inner monologue and try again.
One other feeling against ts for nanos is need to rework our toons, after rebalance old setup might merrily still work. But for engis it's nanoskills bye-bye, and if we must reset them like used means regearing symbiants and some of us have gone with EoE which is tiny bit of a pain...
