Maybe give a command ships a new role or module for a fleet warp speed boost? Roaming in battleships takes too much stamina...

If you want them to be maneuverable, fit them so. It's entirely possible for a battleship to keep up with cruiser fleets if fit properly.

Heard about the two things called mobile depot and travel fit?

Don't even need that. I'm not a great crafter of fits for PvP, but I threw this together in EFT in just a couple minutes. I'm sure there are much better options to be had in fitting this, but my forte is PvE fittings. I'm assuming that your roam fleet has logi along, so I didn't fit any reps.

Using EFT's All 5 character, that fit warps in 6.4s, has a warp speed of 3.04 AU/s. This is more than enough to keep up with your average cruiser fleet while still dishing out almost 1k dps with drones out.

Calling doctor Baltec.... Mr. Baltec, please take the podium.

He flies w/ AF fleets in his mega or so the rumor goes.




It all comes down to fitting the ship to do what you want it to. You have to make choices. You'd like to add fleet warp speed bonus.... what are you offering up as a downside to that upside? Free extra stuff kind of wonks game balance.

Yeah, he's usually quick to jump in on threads like this. Must be on vacation from the forums.

very funny. i don't actually want to fight in a travel fit. you know.. it's a battleship. it supposed to take part in a battles. appreciate your ideas about fits and stuff. maybe you also gona suggest me to use billion isk cost implants to fly faster in 0.0 space. but no thanks.

You could fly a Mach then, I heard they warp faster or something...

So how about +33% increase in speed for a fleetbooster?
Oh i forgot we have that already. Its still stupidly unbalanced.

THEREFOR the above proposal seems to be in the realm of stupid stuff we already have. Therefor totaly viable inho.
Therefor maybe this is an idea to keep in the back of devs heads when they rebalance the FleetBonusses/Boni/etc.. Then i would like it as an option.
(like i would be paying 33%signature for an increase in warpspeed, because ... options and everyone uses an afk-Fleet-booster, right? lol )

Ideas are like Seeds. I'd chop fullgrown trees to start a fire.

well, with that fleet bonus, cruisers would be like frigs then. and carriers like bs. it would affect everything, not just the aspect you would want to be better.

This could be a good bonus for the Ragnarok. See this and the comments.

So you want to be able to hit like a battleship but maneuver like a cruiser. Have you considered purchasing a tier 3 battlecruiser? You'll have to be ready to sacrifice tank, but that's a fancy little concept that we call "balance." You can't have it all, bud.

It's not but it's also kind of wrong now. He's taking about attack battle cruiser which fit large guns. BC used to be separated in tiers which are different than tech level. BC had 3 tier of them and the current attack battle cruisers were the 3rd tier for all races.

Yes, but not because BS are slow. I think with the increasing grid sizes ships and players should be faster and have longer range to compensate because the game can now allow for it.

Anything that gives players more control over their ability to warp is a good thing.

Sounds more like a potential ragnarok fleet bonus

Fleet warp speed bonuses would increase server load, so probably not going to happen.

How do you use that? You have a titan chain in all system from home to destination so your BS fleet can get there faster? All the "on grid" warping would be un-affected as there isn't enough warp time to even accelerate to 2 AU/s, let alone any boosted value. You might save a few second on a warp out warp in complete move to get position but it require you to leave grid to travel long enough for it to matter at all. The only bonus I could see being useful is a drastic buff to your warp "breaking" so you land on grid and become able to take action faster.
