Player Features and Ideas Discussion

A better idea:
Minmatar stones in lp store for festaival launcher^^

"Scissors is fine, nerf paper." - Rock.

If I pay the same price, I want the same DPS, and all faction ammo is a percentage increase to dps. How many people use CN hybrid guns over FN? Judging by the market price, not many. It's just not something that needs "fixed".

Caldari use missiles and hybrid guns, have missiles and hybrid ammo in LP store.

Minmatar uses projectiles and missiles, has only projectile ammo in LP stores.

Which one is more versatile again? This isn't about making one better than another, it's about equality.

I have used Gallente LP stores (love the Megathron) quite extensively, never noticed anything untoward going on. Can't say anything about Amarr though.

For the Gallente, faction drones are the obvious choice of a second "ammunition" type.

an easier fix would be to remove CN hybrid ammo from the game because they're the odd ones out, but i feel like the CN would scream bloody murder if they did that.

It sounds like some Minnie FW pilots want a new outlet for their LP's....

On the surface, the creation of rustbucket missiles sounds alright, but I'd leave it up to the devs to decide if this will destroy game balance.

To the minmatar missile question... there are a number of options:
Mixed damage types: much like the warheads in their shells.. their EM missiles may do some Exp and Kin as well... etc
-Not good for min/maxing PvE, but perhaps better for PvE when you're not sure what enemy resists will be.
Or you could lower the damage increase to 10% instead of 15%, but then buff their explosion velocity and explosion radius.

Or you could do something similar to the gallente/caldari LP rewards: The caldari get the faction missiles, the minmatar get the faction rockets/Hams/Torps (similar how only gallente get faction blasters, but caldari only have faction rails).
Removing caldari rockets is probably not a good idea... so you could make minmatar missiles/rockets have reduced range, the same damage (as CN), but better explosion velocities/radii


Unfortunately, faction drones seem reserved for FW, and all races have them.

As far as hull mounted weapons, Gallente are unique, in that they now only use 1 weapon type.
They used to see some missile use (rodan ships), but basically not anymore (although there is the nemesis)
Yes, gallente use drones, but so do everyone else from cruisers to BS.
Moros lost its drones, Domi now competes with the Geddon. Myrm competes with proph, vexor always competed with the arby. Catalyst lost its drone, then added a specialized drone destroyer (amarr got one too).
Many of the T1 frigs lost their drones (they all used to have at least 5m3), except the tristan (turned into specialized drone boat) and the rookie hull.
Gallente don't even have a faction damage mod for Drones (we need FN drone damage amps and drone nav computers)

Perhaps an exception could be made, and gallente faction drones offered outside FW.

That still leaves the amarr... their T1 ship lineup has a few missile boats... their T2 khanid line has many... they've got 3 weapon systems... lasers, drones, and missiles.
Does this mean that they should offer 3 types? technically, we've got 3 factions there, Amarr, Ammatar, and Khanid.

Should the Khanid and ammatar navies be offering faction crystals and missiles, while the amarr navy offers faction amarr drones (side note, fix the drones, where Amarr drones just suck in comparison to the rest, and minmatar drones are a bit out of line in terms of baancing speed and damage)

When your unloading several million LP's, item movement rate matters as much as isk/LP.
