Good looking set of changes Means.

Looking forward to the ones after this though

[Artyomis]

Good changes, looking forward to more coming up soon.

Wtb PvP level ranges rebalancing, 207ish being able to attack 165ish is just wrong.

Is there any way you could make them useable from equipped too? it was no easy matter getting Peh'Weh on a neutral crat and i'm sure i'm not the only one with a twinked on weapon...

Why not just fix the original pistol? I'm not in the mood to re-equip a troa/peh combo on doc again.

Not exactly the direction we fixers was hoping for, new perkline should be integrated with an old existing line that we already train.
FA added to research is good.
The nanoprogram(s?) Means is referring to is Shower With Lead (lvl 175-194).

- Nanoprogram: “Wake Up Call” recharge reduced from 3 to one second.

Thanks.

[Ferlorn]

According to FWM 'recompiled in visual 05', will we be seeing all the new skins now, or...?

[Manaas]

nothing for keepers

+

will the plastic surgery in orbital apartments be free?

[IHaveHugeNick]

Nerf Fixers. Just saying.

[Nac714]

Fixers have needed love for a long time, Anyone who bitches about nerfing fixers obviously doesn't know how crippled they are at tl7.

Nerf Fixers. Just saying.

care to elaborate, or is it just another whine moar post?

{Removed by Venachar: Original post removed}

thats why the only toons we can kill in pvp are greens, or gimps.

[Racatti]

Since we can't perk SD anymore on a fixer, you need to lower the recharge on Refactor NCU Matrix to 1 instead of Wake up call, that never was a problem.
