calling people stupid and trashing there statements is kind of counter-productive IMO.

i would say the primary reasons for not adding this to game are:

mechanic:

-letting a curse know when he can cut back on neuts to save his own cap is OP and would lead to the call for a NERF BAT
-dame with a neut DOMI
-makes the whole intel (at stated B4) gathering process to easy.

RP:

the capacitor is not a physical entity. its an energy source and has no solid form. except for the banks its stored in
witch if X-ray'd would show as empty and most probably explode.

the ship scanner scans the ship and reports all fitted modifications on the hull, the capacitor it then readout is then gained from she ships
maximum minus modules cap running costs (if active) this gives the scanner a snapshot of the capacitor, every scan should show different results.



please for the love of god take this idea back and think it over B4 you re post it.

FYI = nos will not drain a targets capacitor, it siphons cap off and returns it to the nos source.
if your targets cap is less than your own then the nos will act as sort of a stabilizer. and will return minimal
amounts to the NOS source

So, the gist of counter arguments is

"If you want anything done, bring MOAR FREINDZ".


PS.

Dark Drifter, please don't lecture me on NOS mechanic, I'm well aware how NOS works and how it used to work before it was nerfed to hell back in 2007.

That worthless drivel is a lot better than most of what you have supplied.

For gangs/fleets the single midslot required is irrelevant. If you expect to need it then make sure someone has one.

For solo you don't need it. One is more than able to approximate when an opponent is dry, especially if accustomed to using neuts (ie. Curse/Sentinel pilot).

In short: Your suggestion does not add anything of value that is not already available, all it does is dumb down an already painfully simple mechanic.

And you're giving and getting it for nothing. You get a free slot on your ship now for intel that requires a slot now to gather. basically, everyone gets something for nothing. Nothing invalid with my argument.

Current: Use a mid slot for a ship scanner to get cap intel.
Proposed: Everyone gets cap intel for free, and you get your mid slot too!

What part of "Giving people effortless free intel is dumbing the game down, reducing the gap between competent pilots and morans and removing a part of the game where skill and knowledge is required" is giving you difficulty?

We don't want the game dragged down to your level, please.

In order to get the intel right now, you need to use a mid slot. No one can argue this. It's a choice, use a mid slot for the scanner, get the cap intel.

You want to give everyone the free intel without requiring they give up the mid slot to do so. You get the intel, plus you still have the slot available for something else.

Now please, step away from the keyboard before you infect the internet with stupid.

back again.

well i do apologize for "lecturing" you on the current mechanic of NOSs. but your original statement regarding NOSs
was some what vague.

on the whole something for nothing/something topic you state that ghat you give is the same lintel as you get. . .

so in the extremely unlikley event (like on the same level as Justin biber becoming the next Sabath/zeplin)
that your proposal becomes implemented, now this info is there regardless so you are having to give up nothing
in return for this "free" itell . this in the most simple term is a "something for nothing" scenario

keeping the current "ship scanner snapshot mechanic" means that you actuly have to think ahead and plan any fit that you
include a ship scanner in.

you are giving up:

mid slot
cap for activation
CPU/PG requirements
skills for the mod (time invested)

in retern you get:
(via ship scanner) capacitor level every scanner cycle

this here is the desired get infor in exchange for above listed things..


what im trying to say is that EVE is about sacrifices

go and make some

Thread cleaned of trolling and off-topic remarks.

Dude, what ship floating in space? There are no ships floating in space.

This is a game, seeing targets capacitor is the least problematic thing from a scientific point of view. You have travel faster than light, mass increase due to sub-relativistic speed boost and a thousand more things violating every law of Newton and Einstein...

And you're worrying about logic of seeing target capacitor ?

Srsly?

Not supporting based on the fact the OP is obviously not thinking clearly and just emo'ranting.
