Player Features and Ideas Discussion

How about to add some small positive bonus to Warp stabilizers? For example, as a result of stabilization you recive increased warp speed : +1 AU +15% warp speed
or: reduced cap for warp activation + reduced cap used on MWD.

There are already other mods, skills, and implants to affect these stats I think? They would become redundant if all you needed was WCS to cover them.

I'd much prefer if they gave your suggested bonus in place of how they currently work.

But WCS work fine as they are...if people want faster time-to-warp fit the inertia mods, faster warp speeds need the implants for it, WCS give the unarmed hauler the means to escape an attacker, but the attacker can always bring more friends whilst the hauler has limited WCS. Seems pretty balanced right now

So? Bring more scrams. No Magnate escapes my scram boat when I get hold of it. You are just unprepared for the cowardliness of other players and thus don't deserve to get the prey. Moreover, giving stabs even more negative effects will surely help to keep people going into Low sec ... wait. I don't care about stabs, because they are useless if you are properly prepared.

Change suggestion of OP and in quote not supported.

So what? If you will kill people more easily they will not enter lows ot null. Then you'll start complaining that hi-sec is too secure and you cant kill people there more easily there.
Try bumping for example.

Well, the negative bonus (which is usually referred to as a malus btw) is here for a good reason, so there's nothing to compensate. The targeting malus is already here to compensate the huge bonus the WCS already gives.

And as people stated before, if you want travelling speed, fit modules that are designed for it, not a WCS.

And after that WCS are still only used to escape and in case of ceptors are even more powerful. No.

They didnt always have the penalties. They were added to discourage thier use on PvP fit ships. They honestly dont need the penalty... You sacrifice Damage, Tank, or both fitting them as it is.

Making them beneficial for non-combat purposes would not be out of line.

well lets consider a shield fit cane here...it has a lot of lows to play with. if WCS didnt have their penalties u wouldnt be sacrificing much by swapping out that second tracking enhancer, or third gyro for a wcs. its not about getting away for good, its about being able to warp out of the fight and then warp back in again at range.

tier 3 BC's could abuse this to hell.

they were justly nerfed such that anything using it doesnt just suffer from a missing damage mod, it cripples a PvP viable fit. this way u can still use WCS for travelling, but not in fights. which makes complete sense.

i dnt think im keen on the WCS giving extra warp speed. there are other means to get that benefit. but at the same time, its not overpowered or game breaking. i cant imagine it changing the dynamics of a chase that much, but can provide a QOL improvement for traveling.
