Ships & Modules

Was referring to ships that either get A, multiple long range points, or things like the Navy Maulus, with the Scram bonus, to catch farmers, who normally sit off the beacon a fair ways, you need a fast ship, that can fit enough Scrams to counter Farmers, and Punishers, have a lot of Low Slots, and I have seen them in almost every bloody Complex since the change, so I am correct, there are only a few ships that can reliably catch these things, such as Tri-Scram MWD Captors, Maulus Navies, and things that have enough mids to fit enough Points.

WCS's should be removed from the game, or at the very least have their drawbacks increased, reason? Being a wimp, Transports and Industrials should be the only ships capable of fitting one.

In faction warfare and PVP in general warp core stabilizers can be an issue and I would like to propose a tweak to them. As it stands now they have some serious drawbacks to combat, but we still see pilots using them in combat situations.

Lets take the "Warp Core Stabilizer I" for example. It has 50% reduction to max targeting range and 50% hit to scan resolution while adding +1 to warp core strength. On a combat ship these are not the kind of bonuses you want to see,but IMHO not enough to deter pilots from using them in combat situations. Now with industrial ships or hauling ships I see real reason to fit such mods on. Industrial ships are not intended to be combat ships and I feel that the added warp core strength of warp core stabs outweigh the negatives.

The change I'm suggesting to warp core stabilizers is to treat them like polarized weaponry on combat ships. Adding the negative of having 0% resistance to a combat ship due to the warp stab being fit should be enough of a deterrent for pilots. I would give industrial ships immunity to the 0% resistance would keep them viable for hauling ships and industrial ships.

Warp core stabs need some nerf to deter them from being used as often in combat. All too often in faction warfare space we see pilots offensively and defensively running complexes with stabs. If a pilots wants to fit warp core stabs to their ship their combat capabilities should be greatly reduced.

You state that you cant catch a defendless ship and you want changes to make him naked?

If you want to kill an industrial ship with WCSs then use 2 or even 3 scrams, depends on their fit.
To kill a FW farmer Loyd already told you a great solution to your problem.

If have a problem with the solutions we posted then ... you have a problem.

Just some thoughts.
WCS are not the problem, attitudes and entitlement are the problem.

Battles in space are about winning, when applied to a FW plex farmer "winning" is getting away from you.
If he uses WCS and gets away from you then he has won, if you have countered his play properly and kill him then you have won. This is as it should be in this game.

Based on your OP idea and your comments since you want to change the rules so that you can fit however you want and still be able to catch and hold that FW plex farmer and that is not how this game works. In fact that is pure entitlement speaking, I caught you out running plexes therefore I deserve to kill you.

So in the end I will use a phrase that PvP players love to heap onto the PvE crowd, adapt or get out.
Or perhaps adapt or do not get the kills is more appropriate here.

At max the Punisher can fit 4 points in warp core stability since it has 4 low slots.
