Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Partly to getting it bumping again, but these ships really need some attention, the supercarrier bonus for teh hel needs to have some relevance like the other ships, or it just becomes a overgrown logistic ship, with out the benefit of triage.

Rabble rabble rabble.

The biggest problem with a Pantheon Nidhoggur setup is the lack of energy transfer.

Nidhoggur suffers from pretty serious capacitor issues at full on repair, even with a full rack of Cap Rechargers and CCC rigs.

It definitely needs some attention on that front.

I got myself a Nidhoggur recently but the most annoying thing about it is the lack of powergrid (I'd like to be able to fit as many reps on it as an Archon though I've not yet come across a situation where I felt the need to do that). I personally think the 5% rep bonus/level is quite good howeverI know almost nothing about this game so I'm probably completely wrong.

The rep bonus for the Hel doesn't make sense!

The problem is the archon can match the nid's repping power thanks to the archon having enough grid to fit an extra RR.

Here is how I think the Nidhoggur needs to be fixed;

1) 7.5% reduction in cycle time and activation cost of Capital Shield Transporter and Capital Remote Armour Repairer per Level.
2) 7.5% bonus to Capital Armour Repairer and Capital Shield Booster effectiveness per level.


Reasoning for this;
1) Cycle time/cap reduction means that it will be more effective out of triage while maintaining the same rep amount (Faster Cycle is more effective on sub caps with limited buffer).
2) Brings the tank roughly on par with the Archon in triage, primarily because at the moment the Archon is the only really practical Triage carrier, and the Nidhoggurs bonuses suggest that it should be, primarily, a Triage platform, this would make it one.

Its powergrid can remain **** poor, this way it can only fit 2x Capital Remote Armour Repper, giving it about the same rep amount as an Archon (Due to the Bonus) just with greater cap efficiency.

as a capital itd have a damn lot of duct tape holding it together... have u ever tried to break apart a wad of screwwed up blac duct tape before? its actually annoyingly hard!

The minmatar capitals do need some love. I think all capitals do. A thorough price vs power capital rebalance is more desperately needed than a new destroyer if you ask me. Capitals do not interact well with subcaps at present, because a capital blob will always be unkillable. However, individual capitals are too weak considering their cost, so some kind of mechanics change is needed.

Yeah I agree. A 1 million ISK ship that somebody spent 5 minutes earning the ISK for should be equally good as a 100 billion ISK ship that somebody spent a year working towards.

Really?


and,


In what way did I misrepresent your position?

Bringing the discussion back on topic, and to rephrase my original point: The nid costs the same as an archon, but is significantly weaker. So the power/price statistic should be equalized across all carriers, supers and dreads.
