Player Features and Ideas Discussion

At present there is a problem with ASB's. Once their timer is up you are forced to wait a full minute while they reload cap chargers. This forces players to add two of these modules simply to maintain a normal amount of repping.

This means other important modules such as invulnerability fields are not able to be fitted making these kind of tanks highly innefficient.

What we need to see is the introduction of a remote ASB that can allow fleets to focus their repping on a single ship which can also apply some semblance of resists at the same time.

Let's face it. With all the blob warfare going on these days, Eve online needs to see an overall increase in the tanking capabilities of fleets if we are expected to have reasonable combat engagements where a pilot can expect to engage, contribute and survive more than a few volleys.

I agree, ships die too fast these days. Maybe a increase in resists or raw HP across the board? The idea of ships having "holes" in their armor/shields is frankly silly and needs to be fixed.

Everything has holes, and we all should have the ability to plug those holes... or face the consequences. That is what game balance is all about. Options.

Currently there is no option but to put a couple of ASB's on a ship which is the antithesis of good game design.

Eve is overtanked right now, not undertanked.

Yeah, heaven forbid you should have to make choices.

Funny thing was i was telling one of my alliance mates earlier that you can't just troll the EVE-O forums by just suggesting that you add a feature allowing null sec players to build giant statues of genitals wherever they want, it needs to be much more subtle.

I explained that you need to post posing as asking a legitimate question and then your replies need to be asking posters to either clarify their statements to the extreme or to question a reasonable point they have made with a ludicrous one.

I used miner bumping as an example but then backtracked as CCP Falcon has limited bumping discussions to one thread. However this thread is a perfect example of such trolling.

10/10 would read again.

I don't get it, what's this thread really about? Is this some kind of Anti-ASB thread? How original.

All ships should just come pre-fitted and you can't change it. It'll be like buying a mac

But you are suggesting to fix that by means that will improve tanking (shield tanking in particular) while leaving many of old tanking modules behind, except maybe good old 1600mm. Also you suggest to add capless RR into the game while adding zero incentives to tweak existing tanking fits and of course not affecting solo fits.

Besides, introducing even stupidest i-win active tanks won't ever "fix blobbing" since active tank is irrelevant against alpha. And finally, any sort of RR improvement (RASB definitely qualifies) favours larger group more than smaller one.

Subjective note: capless active tanking should die in a fire. Tweak numbers on existing modules instead.

Please do not put hands/feet in the cage or feed the troll. Thank you.
