in the begining, amarr chose laser weapons. then, in order to be able to carry more ammo, they perfected their capacitors which allowed them to fire more and more. at one time, the geddon "could" run a repper, burner, and fire all 7 of its lasers and be slightly over cap stable.
then came the cap nerf. by removing the amarian bonus to cap, you gimped us. and then being that beams are so damn cap hungry, we cant really use them effectively for long at all.

we amarrians need our cap back in some form.
take a meggy and line it up with an abaddon. set equal range and damage (close). see which one runs out of cap first. now how can u say we are masters of the cap with results like this.
now, you say use cap boosters. boosters are huge compared to ammo. fill a cargo hold full of ammo on the thron and cap boosters on the abby and see which one can shoot the longest. again, the thron goes a long time. the abby becomes bone dry in a second or 2. then takes a while to shoot.

you guys seriously gimped the whole amarr race by doing that. not like a tracking disruptor hurt minie, but it hurt everyone...this was a direct assault on amarr.

since we are the cap masters, how about giving some bonus to the cap we receive from cap boosters? since u are forcing us to use the damn things, where can you point besides the vengy and sac that actually gets a good cap bonus?
you cant. ok, so u gave us a bone giving the apoc a quicker regen, but it isnt ANY thing like before.

give us SOMETHING back. or make missiles and projectiles use cap and make the hybrids use more...
(not the desired effect, but give us a bone).

compare dps from a tachyon abby to a 425 thron. not over the course of a couple seconds, but over 3 hours.
max recharge to empty, then back to max recharge and fire to empty.

fleet engagements last a bit. amarr are bone dry in seconds. the 3 hour thing was just for reference in sustained dps output, not burst. yeah great the abby can dish it out for 23.945 seconds..then it sits on its ass for 5 minutes and recharges.

and i was being sardonic about everyone using more cap. it was just so we could show an imbalance in amarr ships now.

we didnt do much damage before compared to others, but we could keep it up for a while. now, we cant even do that.

If amarr had more room in the cargo I'd settle for that perhaps, run 4 cap boosters with a cargo hold full of cap charges. :D

This is another reason why the 10% reduction in cap laser use bonus is ********. Especially after gimping Amarr's capacitor superiority.

Yes, because applying dps is not hectic enough with all the different crystals and modules as is, so keeping an eye on capacitor and cycling tank and guns like a boss is also required. Humans don't multi-task, pilots who are required to multi-task in real life also crash like raindrops in a rain-storm (most crashes happen in routine landings and takeoffs because some second thing takes concentration from the single task of landing/taking off. Like a bird crossing the flightpath, a random message over the radio, or a notification window on the new LCD screen cockpits).
Humans either do cap balancing, or apply maximum dps, or tank most effectively (remembering to turn of overload before burning out, applying proper transversal, etc). Not two or three at a time (if you do two, you do them sequentially and do one, then the other, then the first again, then the other, etc).

Video or it didn't happen.

Looks like you can't triple-box :P (Just kidding)
There's these things that can video-tape from outside the computer, also, dropping resolution works.
I'd like to see you try to manage 3 pantheon tanked apocs or abaddons (while applying dps to the enemy).

Lols, well in all truth it was my first time in TQ and we only had 2 mallers for DPS, because the rest of the corp decided to go outside since it was summer.



no hes just saying instead of just triple boxing logi he would like to see me triple box BS's spider tanked and kill someone at the same time..... well i think...

Pantheon:

My bad, I meant spider-tanked battleships, apparently pantheon tanks are specifically only spider-tanked carriers, not spider tanked battleships.

EDIT: I agree with the post above this one. If my apoc is to be so cap-unstable I can only fire once every full-moon then it needs to do some serious damage when it fires. Teamwork and complex spider-energy generation stuff can then perhaps make groups good (you know, there's still lots to go wrong, going out of energy transfer proximity and battleships bumping and losing the proper transversal, one in the cap-chain falling and the partner not being taken into another pair soon enough etc. Clumsiness would be the balancing agent). If amarr is to have to use mids for cap modules then the only way to get a fight will be to be outnumbered (you can't point so you can't fight anyone who thinks they'll lose). But I could really go for that.
