Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I have been playing Eve for about 6 years now and somethings never change. Now with the rebalancing of Commandships. I am starting to question why I play this game and why CCP is letting someone rebalance them in a way that will make them worse then they are now.

Command ships need a buffer tank, active tanking is broke. Fix the active tanking BEFORE you make active tanking a bonus on a ship. In null sec with huge fleets, an active tank isnt going to help you at all. It will only make people not want to fly one. Why drop 400 mil on a ship to just have it volleyed off the field when you decloak. At least with a buffer tank I would have a chance.

Wing commanders dont receive Fleet bonuses, How about fixing this, its sorta important now that you are "rebalancing" ships that will rely on these more than ever.

Why allow the two mining ships to sit in a POS and the CSs not? Because they need to be "reworked". Well thanks for busting commandships and making them sit in a SS. Maybe you should "rework" the wing bonuses and give CS some buffer before ejecting them from the POS. How long before you "rework" the mining ships? One maybe Two years?

As far as ongrid boosting, I agree, they should be ongrid 100 percent of the time, this also applies to mining boosters.

CCP really should fix all the problems with these proposed bonuses before applying them to the ships. They might be great at small gang PVP or solo work, but in fleet fights they have become a 400mil isk sink and not worth the trouble.

Active tanking is pretty fine until you go beyond gang-sized engagements.

And you cannot buff active tanking so it becomes viable vs. hundreds of attackers. Fleet doctrine for siginfiicant fleet battles will always be alpha - just the nature of the beast. CS should not be balanced around huge fleet engagements. Those are pretty rare. For balancing purposes, it makes much more sense to balance around gang-sized engagements which are the most common in Eve.

I loved the CS buffs until they decided to turn the link bonus back to +3%/level rather than a flat +15%.

Only affecting a small portion of players, you would say?

I mean come on, not being able track frigates at <25km as opposed to <20km has obviously made the Domi useless in every way! Obviously!!

Did you know you are supposed to fit ships differently for small gang pvp and blob warfare?

Is it somehow different? 15% or 15%.

Also, whtf cares about blobs.

I didn't finish even reading your post because you are under the illusion that everyone wants to use ships for large blob battles. In small gang warfare active tank is king. No, I wouldn't use an active tank in a blob, because I would get alphad. But in a small gang where your not kiting your buffer is a death sentence against anyone with a half decent active tank.

perhaps but it makes a bit less sense. if command ships are designed to hand out bonuses, why should you have 100% effective bonuses at skill level I?

I'm glad they reverted it because when it was originally announced I felt that i'd have sooner spent the 30ish days that i spent training CS V on other skills, and hence couldn't help feeling a tad cheated. if it makes any difference i finished CS V less than a month before the announcement.
