One problem with that then you'd need to be able to have nav extension adjustable cause you change mech sizes and all of a sudden you have to much nav? How can you make that work unless the extention can be changed at will.

Now the tracking idea a good one. But this will then make Missile guidance or Percision Firing 10 a must have skill with nav 10. And that isn't no 1x skill like Nav is or you would have to introduce a new extension to semi counteract it which would become another must have at 10 asap.

There are and if you remove Nav from the picture completely then you'll find another extension turn into the must have 10. I know a few that I've found from changing pvp fits around that really could turn into must have skills at 10. Just ppl don't put emphasis on them as much but that would probably change when you get rid of Nav.

Then they are not must, are good or relevant or important, no same.
No need to have a penalization in Nav, u alrrdy have penalty with lwf & extensions dont have a penalty, why should nav?.

Do not enter endless tweaks pls, if nav its broken remove it (again, or give everybody enough ep at the start to rise it), if not leave it that way as there are plenty of more urgent things.

Nav 10 isn't a must either but ppl say it is. Cause us as the players put the importance on it. I for one went most of the 1 month playing without Nav 10 and found no problems. I started with 7 I think. Then slowly got it to 10 as other things came into focus. Had it at 9 by the time i started PvPing then finished it off after.

I have corp mates that have been playing just about the same length of time as me and still don't have Nav 10. Few have 9 some have 8 cause they just cant justify the importance of spending that much EP there when they can raise other things.

Since we are not able to agree in the useless of navigation extension i doubt this subject can be called urgent. I certanlly agree helping newplayers its primordial, requesting them to invest their first k´s of ep in a single extension does not seem a warm welcome.
Another option might be to give combat characters (those who choosed combat atributes) some lvl´s in navigation as startup.
Many players surelly have stayed at lvl 9 or 8 in nav untill they have felt was the good moment, what i doubt its that any player deployed (no market alts) does not rises to lvl 5 asap, it makes it a must then hence broken imo.

Base speed should all be very similar (Motor output levels but weights effect speed more)

Gear should be where speed difference comes from (Vary weight).

Bonuses should be more gear based (To limit lightest gear being over used)

Speed Nexus should be a percentage. (Break gang up a little?)

Highways should be a static 36KPH and renamed to something that doesn't require lots of silly looking buildings and just a different tile texture for "Smooth Terrain" allowing robots to move across it faster. (Optional but I prefer it to magnetic fields)

Speed should have a limit based on weight so that smaller faster things get less speed bonus than larger robots.

Remove any bonus damage against larger targets from smaller weapons (Unless already done).

Rebalance tanking so that it is always a short but powerful repair that needs to be maintained rather than just run all the time. Powerful tank but short lived so it can be overpowered without more numbers always being required.

Rebalance ewar to be very effective when using an ewar robot but very poor when not using an ewar robot (Currently very easy for 30 people to fit an ECM each and run around without a care in the world)

don't know if devs should be focusing on stuff like this right now

Goblin, you sound like one of those dumb players who thinks that the dev-team secretary should stop doing their job, and start fixing server code bugs.

why don't you go out and save the worlds financial market! would be better than posting such stupid comments...

If anyone asks, 'What skill should I train up first?'

No matter what race you pick, no matter what robot, no matter what your profession is; everyone always says get navigation up to level 10 asap.  Every time.

That tells you something.  If everyone has to get that skill to level 10 as soon as they start the game, why even have it in the game?  Like it has been said before, navigation in this game has become the learning skills of EVE-Online.

Remove the navigation.

Do not ,. pls, do not nerf more existing skills.
Or want to revamp all game, tweak lwf, extensions, nexus etc.,.,
Or navigation extension its just "Train inmediatlly", hence usless... (my guess)
Or its working as intended and no much else to see.,.,

Every tweak in speed should be related, as its has been mostlly, to mas and weight of bots and modules.

<3 simple

simple > complicated

is disagree not very often with you, but new player do not start as knowledgeable industrialists. they start with their "slower then heavy mech arkhe" and have to walk out several kilometers just to find their first mining spot -> and yes, nearly all new "industrial" player start with mining, or production missions, which also require to walk over half of the island.

the "option" to not spend EP into navigation is something for reset agents (hopefully gone soon) or alt agents.

this said, im again to the "increase overall bot speed and implement the formula i have posted earlier

This sounds vaguely familiar...
