Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I am stop paying for my account some time ago because of "18monthofallworkingasintendedheremonocle" and cant post in F&I.
But! I love this game and want play it again. Look like DEVs now see "small hybrid problems" and I want to offer you some changes that may help(or not). If someone like this idea, please repost it in F&I thread. And sorry if my English not very good.



HYBRIDS need REAL change


Blasters can`t be OP (megadamage or megaweb) and can`t be minmatar/amarr speed-range-tank etc... ok
Fitting change and add some damage is good but this not solve the Problem of fighting faster targets with longer weapons.

Why not add little change to concept of blasters and not to ruin it?


GUNS change

Blasters work on optimal/falloff, add(+)15% TH damage, remove(-)15% KI damage
Railguns work on optimal>falloff, -15% TH damage, +15% KI damage
(percentage maybe need rethink for balance)

AMMO change

Ammo pure damage is equal for close, medium and long charges on same category (S or M or L or XL)
T1 ammo like now but with little range help
T2 long blaster ammo cap-hungry with delayed end-cycle shot (bzzzzzzzzzzz-wooooooshhhh like BLAST you know?) with BIG range boost (autos opt+2xfalloff == blaster opt+2xfalloff )
T2 rail ammo damage boost
Table of ammo charge damage type sсheme (picture): http://i42.tinypic.com/2e1ul9w.png


So with this changes:
Close blaster ammo hit harder with thermal damage bonus. Longer shots lose some thermal damage part and are weaker. (Gallente race feature)
Close rail ammo balanced on kinetic/thermal damage and shots lose some thermal damage part with long range ammo. (Gallente-Caldari race feature )
T2 Blaster ammo get some small electromagnetic damage because of plasma ejection.
T2 Rail ammo get some small explosive damage because of uranium slug meet your face.
And T2 ammo with this changes be more PVP-oriented.


SHIPS change (backstory)

… And little speed boost on Gallente armor tanked ships is normal because of elve... err Gallente biological design is not from fantasy world, it is technological feature of light weight bio-armor and can`t be superhardened by resists (like Amarr) but can be rapaired faster with it`s regenerative bonus.
