If you change the base size of "small" capital ships like dreads and carriers then the bigger ones like Titans will crush them harder.

Again, I've not seen this to be the case. Generally if a large c5 groups rolls into a c2 corp, you might get an initial gank or an reduced numbers arranged fight out of it, or they'll just be ignored.

Evictions tend to be about someone looking at someone else's pint, or spilling their girlfriend or whatever, that or someone who has a grudge against nullsec farmers. The only place that has really been serially evicted is C6 space, but thats just down to mechanics and the same people rolling into each other building up grudges over time.

There are plenty of corps in lower end wormholes but you hardly hear about them, except when they make the transition upwards.

I'm not saying change the base size. I'm saying if they wanted Phoenix (and Levs) to be able to stationary targets for full damage, which they clearly do because of the tower size change, why couldn't they do the same thing for stationary capitals? How would increasing the sig radius of carriers / dreads in triage / siege make Titans crush them harder?

Do XL guns (i.e. not capital missiles) ever miss stationary capitals that are in range?

If you consistently dodge fights in a c5/c6, you may be evicted.

It goes without saying that guns shooting at stationary targets don't care about signature size. The whole undercurrent or subtext of this discussion is that if they nerf missiles in some way, guns will be (relatively) even better than they already are. If this update goes through as posed, guns got a massive "buff" (i.e. they weren't nerfed) against dreads and carriers.

What I was saying was this: is it the intention of CCP to nerf these missiles against dreads/carriers but buff them against larger caps? That's clearly what has happened (at least with torps). If we're assuming CCP isn't just completely utterly oblivious, then it definitely seems like they thought dreads were taking too much damage from missiles and larger caps not enough.

Basically I was (as a devil's advocate) disagreeing with the premise of your post. If CCP intended dreads and carriers to take more damage instead of less from these weapons, then none of these changes make any sense. The way I'm reading it, they are thinking that dreads and carriers were taking too much damage from these missiles.

This is a targeted change at missiles as well. If they just wanted dreads and carriers to take less damage in general, they could have just changed their base sig size (which would make them take far less damage from guns too if they were on the move even a little bit). The fact that they didn't refactor any signature sizes of capital ships is a kind of silent signal that this was all intended.

Or maybe I'm giving CCP the benefit of the doubt, and they have no clue what they're doing.

I realized that we have a lot of room to make Citadel missiles better at hitting unwebbed moving capitals without making them much better for hitting webbed/painted subcaps by improving their explosion velocity significantly and then nerfing their explosion radius to a lesser degree.

After these changes the Phoenix should have quite a strong role as a dread that can apply solid damage to caps and structures with a great tank, damage selection and capless weapons.

Looking at the following quotes in the announcement, although they don't specifically mention sieged/triaged caps, I don't believe their intention was to make Phoenixes worse against them.

Perhaps they forgot that links exist. This wouldn't be the first time.

If a capsuleer in a fleet is manning a PoS gun, can it receive links, such as sig reduction?
