Dreads. What is going to be done with them?

I think allowing dreads to be RR'd still has the problem of just pushing the blob factor even higher, without solving the big problem. Giving them a bonus versus structures and supers would be good but only because structures and supers need to die more. I'm not exactly sure what shortening the siege cycles are supposed to do except give you more opportunities to hot-swap loadouts with carrier support, and give dreads more chance to run away (barring cap problems.)

I think the dread fix can be divorced from the super carrier fix. Think of what the fundamental problems were with dreads from back before dominion... bashes were boring. That's about it. So, make structure bashes less boring. Now, after dominion, the problem is not with the dreads, it's with supers. So fix supers (i.e. add a counter, reduce DPS, fix logoffski, etc, massive tactical reward needs to be balanced by massive risk.)

Maxim 6. If violence wasn’t your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.

I think dreads are ok the way they are. a reduced siege would be nice.

Couldn't CCP be innovative with a super carrier counter with a new line of capital ships? I see a small variety of different types of battleships per faction, but only one all-purpose capital dreadnaught or the incredibly useless carrier.

meh...

well for making sov structure bashes more fun or intresting maybe they should have guns. you get there 4 turrents pop out you get it to half shield 6 pop out get it into armor and 8 pop out and so on.

Turrets would be destructable.

Just a thought .

I think dreads should remain how they are. If people want something to counter super carriers easier then why not make a tech 2 dread that requires a hell of a lot more training in skills that aren't currently on the market or make a super dread of sorts? I mean... if dreads are buffed to the point they can easily take out super caps, what's the point of having super caps? and if there's no point to have super caps, what's the point of investing all the time and effort and isk into getting them? I mean... aren't super capitals supposed to be exactally that? 'super'? I think instead of making a tier 3 battlecruiser for noobs to play with (and by 'noobs' I refer to players under 2 years of age) make a ship for the older players who have been playing over 2 years (feb 04 is my oldest active toon) and give us older players who have been loyal to CCP through the **** we've gotten from all the nerfs over the years after skilling for those years to try to circumvent the nerfs, only to have even more nerfs placed on us.... why not reward us for being loyal for so long? why not make a skill requirement heavy t2 dread, or a super dread with both having some advanced sort of siege mode above that of a regular dread? oh, make it so it can only be built in Sov too. People fight hard to obtain and keep Sov, and having Sov should have the reward of having the most powerful ships in game. If others want Sov, they can either rent and serve in offensive navy activities, or band together and attempt to obtain Sov by force, like all the major powers did before they were major powers. why can't people actually develop real strategy and use actual tactics like back in the day? when enough people get fed up they'll band all together and take out the super force. it happened to BOB, the NC, and it's bound to happen again. so stop complaining about super caps and use your brain to figure a way around them like everyone before you. everything has been nerfed to hell since it's origination. Seriously though, if you could easily take out Supers, aren't you just going to complain that they're too easy to take out once you get some Sov and make some for yourself? seems to be a reoccuring theme to the EVE experience. someone is more powerful than the majority, people complain, and then when the majority get to the point that they can do what the more powerful person had done they complain that it's not good enough. Stop whining, and be patient until you skill up and can do the elite things. Isn't EVE Online supposed to be an elitist game? when I started it was... and as far as I know it still is.

Where are they taking the hobbits?
