Nothing, this post is bad and you should feel bad

Capitals aren't useless because they can still be used to escalate the fleet fights. They just aren't needed for structure bashing, which actually frees them up more for fleet fighting since they aren't burnt out from weeks of structure bashing.

Carriers:
-Nothing

Dreads:
-Massive base tracking/exp velocity bonus to buff capital weapon systems
-Massive penalty to tracking/exp velocity while in siege to counter balance.
-Return of the drone bay, treated like Triage and cannot control while in siege

Titans:
-Read above for change to capital weapon rework
-Significantly reduce damage of DD, allow it to target and chain between sub capitals
-Attach massive boost to boosting capabilities

Supers:
-Larger drone bay to carry multiple squadrons of fighters
-Lose the 200% damage bonus
-Lose EWAR immunity
---Replaced with base +10 warp core strength
-Super fighters can be fit with a single utility mid or high slot module, and up to 3 tank modules
---Web/Neut/ECM/Damp/Scram(only prevents MWD/MJD)
-Super fighters can be loaded with proper weapon/rep and munitions
---T1, T2, and faction variants based on weapon system equip
---Remote Rep disables weapon systems.

Dreads:
-Massive base tracking/exp velocity bonus to buff capital weapon systems
-Massive penalty to tracking/exp velocity while in siege to counter balance.

But of course none of this will ever happen because CCP is happy with cruisers online and there are far too many whiny bitches out there who want to see those of us to spent the time on money getting into these behemoths sit and watch our investments go to waste. They aren't even willing to roll out new T2 BS to try and close the power gap between sub capitals and capitals which would finally allow for buffs like the ones I mentioned to be implemented without seeming overpowered.

I've always considered supercapitals as capitals, but I suppose they are different. What needs to change about supers then?

This post contains no idea nor feature...

true but for most of us who can or are in a group who can afford SC/Titans we generally have enough people to go the wrought of more ships rather than bigger ships.


meaning in most cases you only drop a supper carrier when you feel relatively safe and a titan is only used on field if you hit the wrong button or you know you are in a good spot.


however i don't feel to much needs to change with the supper carrier as it does still fulfill the role of anti capital very well

and you could argue that titans are only meant to be used for very large battles in an anti cap/supper cap role

however since ccp wants to push people away from large battles and spread them out into many smaller ones a tittan loses a lot of its uses since the DD sticks it in place making it in-ideal for a fight with the few capitals needed to support a small fleet

Supper carriers are a good counter to dreads/carriers but titans only counter blobs of such things and that is what CCP seems to be trying to limit

If you can field a large enough dreadnough fleet do that, fielding a large enough titan/sc fleet takes alot less people + they can get repaired by other ships (triage carrier out of range from enemy dread fleet will do wonders for SC/Titan survivability)

i didn't say that they were becoming useless or that they had no more use in a fleet



the problem comes in the type of fights that CCP is trying to build the game to force (smaller more spread out) that make it harder for them to see use as well as removing a large part of what they are used for (structure grinding)

Stop super production. Let them fade away with grace.

For every capital on grid above 30 - one of them randomly explodes every 2 minutes until there are 30 or less on grid.

You can scoff all you want, but getting beyond the personal level and looking at the big picture - both ideas are pure awsomeness.

Every super that dies never to be replaced would be one less dude whining on the forums about the flying coffing he willingly chose to hop into. The please let me dock mantra of a 100 angsty 5yr olds would diminish to silence.
