Well why not? We have other capital modules and now we have capital rigs.

Because capital armor plates, also some subcapital ships could then fit them and that might result in a bit too much ehp.

Because right now everyone fits capital shield boosters on their ravens

armour layering mods providing 10k - 15k raw hp is ok but a capital shield extender is not?

armour layering adds a % of armour. Theres nothing to add straight up armour only augment the base amount for capitals.

The powergrid usage would preclude this from being done.

That said, I agree that it's not necessarily a good idea to add more capital hp modules. They already have more than enough hit points as it is. Why waste dev resource on something that really isn't needed?

You want more shield hit points? Fit capital Defence Field Extender IIs. Still not satisfied? Fit Power Diagnostic Systems.

Passive tanked carriers? Looks funny, I approve.

Capital mods cant be fit on to any subcap due to the way that the modules work (See item description: http://puu.sh/4yZZw.png). As for the idea.... meh, is it really needed? A capital with a bunch of resist modules + ganglinks is already in the millions of EHP so I'm not sure it would have too much impact on capital fights aside from lowering your resists due to the less amount of resist mods on your ship making your tank via logistics less.

I'd rather have a capital cap booster first.

Abaddon can manage to fit a single citadel torpedo launcher. It's not good at all, but it is very funny Big smile

They used to be able to, but not anymore. Which is a shame really, since it was pointless but funny.

the only purpose it would serve is making capitals more expensive .. which is no bad thing really.

They would surely have to nerf EHP to balance out the extra HP given .

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats
