Given the enormous restrictions put on super-caps with the recent patches, Wouldn't it be fair to remove the sov restrictions on the super-capital assembly array? I'm thinking more towards super-carriers than titans.

No. It would be byond borked to have a shield based super in a pulsar or an armor based super in a wolf rayet. Supers have unbalanced null/low sec and you want to introduce that into wh space where system effects put a monster size skewing on ships? You would be handing out local system "I WIN" buttons as fast as folks could build them.

Feel free to seach for threads about supers in wh. They all have the same answer with a zillion good reasons supporting that answer.

No, for the reasons listed above.

As the proud owner of 1.5 Titans, and with four pilots capable of flying Super Carriers, it would be far better to remove Titans and Super Carriers from the game completely, or massively nerf them and turn them into T2 Carriers and Dreadnoughts than it would be to extend them into other parts of the game.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

I don't know about WHs but I think supers should be able to be built in low and NPC null.

I support the idea in general but I don't think it would really make much of a difference. CSAA's in low sec would be a neon sign for everyone to grab their coat hangers.

Supercaps in wormholes is a terrible idea though.

First, some wormholes are large enough for a Super Carrier to fit.

Second, if you could build them in there, then attackers would have almost no chance.

most of us moved to wh to get away from supers


and you arn't about to take a hole if a group has set a bunch of these up



However if CCP were to introduce massive holes to a new class of wh and let them be built there then why not. Just a new type of space

**** no. It would then become impossible to dislodge people from their wormholes. Dreadnoughts? Pfft. Here, say hello to my little friends fighter bombers.
