Player Features and Ideas Discussion

We should probably wait and see regarding the power projection changes that were proposed yesterday before new modules for capitals are implemented. There is already a planned capital re-balance scheduled for next year.

Also, have you considered how powerful modules like a capital sized neut would be? Most battleships have a capacitor of c. 7000, while carriers are an order of magnitude greater (assuming good skills). Battleship sized neuts drain 600 cap a cycle; extrapolating to carrier sized we have neuts that can hit out to 45+ km and drain 6000 cap a cycle.

It's not a bad idea to extrapolate module equivalents across ship size classes all the time, but when the attributes of a given class are an order of magnitude (or three) higher than the next class down, the power of certain module types begins a run-away course. The example that I've chosen here leaves me wondering if I would like to see a scenario where a trio of archons could shut down an entire logistics wing, negate cap dependent hardeners, or stop cap dependent DPS. The bhaalgorn fills the role somewhat already, but at least its vulnerable in the way that all battleships are. Archons with faction hardeners and slave sets fulfilling the same role, only better, isn't something I think we need.
