Player Features and Ideas Discussion

There is no max mass. Supers and Titans have a hidden checkbox that basically says "Unable to Dock". A binary function with everything else in the game having a "0", and supers having a "1".

Also, sure. If it's undockable I would support this. Even though it's a horrible idea, it's going to make things cheaper... and oh damn when I come across a supercapital sieged in an ice belt...





Nobody builds their own crap. People would buy them off the market instead of building them. Even a spacepoor pilot like myself can afford to buy multiple capital ships without a problem. Additionally, that is the exact same arguement ccp gave when implementing titans. The original titans, of the blap everything variety. A few years later titans are everywhere.

And there are a lot of 200 man corps.

That made me laugh.

So because you've put a "large amount of thought" into it makes it more special than other peoples ideas?

Lets play my favorite game, unintended consequences.

1. Obsoletes anything smaller for low/null mining
2. Destroys the market for minerals on a practically producable scale
3. makes mining interdiction much harder, as this looks like it would be able to get fairly good capital scale tank after refitting
4. FAR easier to bot than a current barge due to the longer cycles, and massive buffer
5. Collapses new player income, as many new players try mining for relatively safe income to start
6. Collapses all high sec industry, as the new massive volume of minerals in low/null means even with poor distribution of some minerals, they are able to build most things without moving minerals to high
7. Strains any logistics chain if they try to continue moving minerals or compressed ore to highsec to sell.
8. Even higher bar to hold space, as large blocs will always be able to create and field more capitals than smaller corp and alliance sized powers.
9. At a stroke, undoes the ice changes, as mining out an ice belt takes minutes for a single character who can laugh at most skirmishing subcap fleets while finishing their mining.

Well...hmm.. I always thought a capital miner would be cool also. Honestly I can't really wrap my head around if its balanced or not..but to all the haters..I can't see it taking over the mining market if something like that existed.

Why?

Be super easy to gank. As a capital its warp out would be so slow you would have know about the nuets 2 or 3 jumps away.

And it requires 95% cap to jump, so that leaves out emergency cyno's if you can't maintain 95% cap while mining.

Seems to me the rorqual could be given a mining role as part of its refit. As a miner with many hulks..I don't know I would use a cap even if it existed. It would be very expensive and possible easy to trap.

Hulks are slow to warp out as it is. Not too hard to catch one with an Inty.

I rather see some effort put into moon goo mining with ships in special belts. (that have to be scanned) Oh oh maybe that is what the capital miners could be for. Moon Goo belts.

Hint -- if you only learn about the neuts 3 jumps out, your intel network is doing it wrong.



Cap chain from Guardians (or hell, Archons, because low/null).


Oh, and I just re-read the OP, and noticed this bit --



Hint -- a jump portal doesn't bring other ships with you. It allows you to send ships to a remote location (provided you have enough fuel to do so).

I do not support the concept of a capital miner. Update the Rorq instead. The Rorq is not useless, as others have implied here. Mine is the most useful cap I own currently. However, it could use some love. This capital mining ship is just a bad idea.

slow F&I day.

Oh, you special snowflake. Banning TL;DR on something of this bloated scale, without let or hindrance [/quote]

A 6/6/6 capital ship, with a base pool of EHP in the low to mid million range, and the possibility to entirely brick the shields, on something designed for PVE..... I can't think of a single reason not to break it for combat at this point.

A normal hold which cannot be used for normal materials? why not? makes life interesting, but curious to see on a capital industrial.


So, a full flight of sentries, on a ship with the ability to pack the lows with DDAs, and the highs with DLAs. Must be a nice turret. Again, this looks nothing like a PvE ship.

It is glaringly obvious the OP has never played with capitals before.

Thanks for the support guys made edits this is a WiP and but I still wanna see a Capital mining barge yes it is slower then a titan but there needs to be Cons to combat Pros Large Ore bay - moves slower
