EVE General Discussion

Doooo ittttt already

Last I heard you guys were talking about not wanting them to totally outclass T2, and thinking along the lines of heat reduction.

So what's the plans devs? Scrapped totally?

Anyway fellow loving players, do you think T3 modules should be implemented at all? Reasons why? Any ideas as to where T3 should go?

I figured a somewhat balanced AC would be along the lines of same stats as T2, but -30% falloff across the board. Same skill reqs except also needs 'Advanced Autocannon Specialisation', a skill that gives -10% heat damage per lvl towards modules requiring it's use.
So same damage and tracking as t2, but a significantly shorter range. Higher heat capacity though so yeh, it's situational.
I think more modules should be situational, I like the idea of not knowing what the other person has fit.

edit: oh and T3 guns get to fire T3 ammo, which would of course be the unreleased T2 ammo, but rebadged. You know, Blaze crystals and such. Maybe as added balance they would be unable to use T2 ammo (but that's probably too harsh a penalty)

Wouldn't a T3 mod need to be "modular" to make it T3? Though that could be cool too...

T3 250MM Howitzer

* Heavy Capacity Barrel
+10% Damage
+20% Signature Radius

* Lubricated Gyro
+7.5% Tracking
-30% Optimal Range

* Rapid-Loading Magazine
-50% Reload Time
-50% Charge Capacity

* Plasma-Fed Cooling System
-15% Heat Damage
-40% Falloff

* Proton Reconfiguration Matrix
+20% Damage and Falloff when loaded with Proton S
-15% Damage and Tracking when loaded with anything other than Proton S

Just some random numbers, but its cool idea.

Of course, I weep for the dev that would have to design the new fitting window...

Edit: Could have one bare 'mount' for each class of weapon (Projectile S, M, L), and 5 slots that you could plug the subsystems into. Maybe like:

[Barrel]
Effects damage and projectile size

[Magazine]
Effects reload speed and capacity (Maybe have one allowing for M turrets to use L charges?)

[Gyro]
Effects tracking speed and Optimal/Falloff

[Cooling]
Effects Overheat abilities/attributes (Like increase rof while overheat but take more heat damage - viceversa)

[Aux (Like ammo specialization)]
Unique effects like bonus to certain ammo types

I really like this idea now...

T3 rigs I can understand, but t3 equipment will just be too complicated.

The number of times I wanna shout this at CCP.
....sometimes they come through, most of the time we have to wait years and years and years -____-

CCP trolling us, not enough staff, or just slow devs?

Ship lines wont be removing complication. As it is trying to make all ships have a valid existence rather than "You want the best battleship, use the top tier one." "Want the best cruiser, use the top tier crusier." "Want the best frig use the top tier frig." And the only reason not to use top tier is for a specific e-war. or price range.

It should hopefully mix up the skies a lot more.

Sure, and I'm all for that, to be honest... but I simply think that should be extended to modules and weapons too.

good catch bro.


lets all war dec that dude

Modular modules? Like...runeslots? DO WE GET RUNEWORDS, TOO?

BRB SKILLING RUNECRAFTING / JEWELCRAFTING TO V

T3 ammo that has a chance to set the target on fire, and cause additional e-war effects?

No. T3 is a ship class thing. We already have deadspace and officer mods which have a higher meta then T2!!!
