It uses Cap booster charges, and when the module is empty, it begins to use your capacitor

Were RR mechanics in low sec change? The other day I was in fleet with some of my corp mates, Im -9.0 sec status and I had GCC. I was not able to rep the members of my fleet who did not have gcc (who also happened to have positive sec status).

Is this an intended change or did something break somewhere?

I believe this is an old change to stop the spread of GCC via RR.

It uses it straight but the module activation time needs to be tweeked so the UI is more clear what it does and when. It is not obvous that you need or can put more charges in.

If i dont know something about EVE. I check https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/ISK_The_Guide

See you around the universe.

It does not sound like he's talking about the same thing. The old change stopped non-GCC players from RRing GCC'd players accidentally.

Thank you CCP for finally putting some focus on FW.

For all of those complaining about station lockouts, please consider this. By locking out stations it means when you see war targets in local, you now KNOW that they are active and moving about. No more going afk during or after a roam in a enemy station for hours on end, now you need to actually travel back to a system with your factions sov and safe dock.

This alone makes it more likely to find a fight, and less likely to have enemies station camping afk targets for hours. Knowing that your targets active and not afk docked is a MAJOR change and definitely for the better.

That is the way I understood it as well. It seems silly for logi to not be able to rep people in their fleet if the logi has GCC.

So after it uses the charges it acts like a regular booster?
Does running out of charges change the boost amount?

What if we want to take GCC to rep people? Are we able to turn of this rather bad problem for Low sec pirates with corp mates not yet low sec pirates.

You should at least get a pop-up where you can decide to accept the repp or decline it. Don't forget the "remember this answer" checkbox please.

To the Cap-Booster fueled Shield-Booster: Most useless Module ever.
- Boosts a tiny amount of shield
- Can only fit 3 (YES THREE!) charges
- 60 seconds reload, wtf?

Make it
a) boost like half ur shield but uses 4 200er charges at once (or one 800er etc.), then be empty and 60 secs to refill
b) boost like it currently does and let it load 20 charges in it with max 20 secs reload time, so you can actually use it to boost ur shield without using capacitor

Did they change cloaks too? I was thinking people would just put cloaks on their ships. Not only to allow the mwd cloak trick to get past the increased number of gate camps this will create, but also so they can "dock" at a safe spot.

Of course having to gimp your fit (espceially the smaller ships cruiser and down) with an expensive cloak means you will be less inclined to fight. Which is another drawback to this whole bad idea.

Just found out that faction drones as well as that Sansha FB are not on the market (yet), either.

On another note, you can't click the picture of drones to get the 3d preview in the info tab. It does work straight off the market interface, though.

On the topic of that new shield booster, the X-Large does have 160m³ of space, which would mean it can fit five (5) Cap Booster 800 charges.

The 60 second reload will IMO only turn out to be a problem if the module will always try to auto-reload after the last charge's gone. Also, it (the X-Large) boosts a lot more than the Gist X-Type (meta 14), according to the ingame info. It does eat cap like a ************ compared to it, though, I'll give you that.

I CBA checking the other shield boosters, though. You'll have to do that yourself.

I think the all-in-one inventory window is pretty nifty... but could we PLEASE have a link to open it on the right click menu while your ship is in space.

Oh.. and one more thing, could you also please put back our currently active ship, in the station ships window?

You are incorrect about all except the last statement.
- They boost DOUBLE what standard boosters do
- They boost 10+ cycles before draining ship cap

You're to use the smallest possible cap charges to get more cycles.
The mods don't actually USE cap when in fueling mode, and the charges simply act an analogue.
FWIW, they could replace the cap charges with units of dirt or something, and the result would be just as good.

The new boosters are noew decidedly great, although I stand by my argument.
Limit the number of these new boosters to ONE PER SHIP.

Actually, I just checked; the small and medium boosters are pretty ****** if you compare them to their larger counterparts, IMHO. While both large and x-large sizes can be competitive with deadspace gear even (more shield boost for either 'ammo' or lots more cap), the smaller ones cannot.

Then again, we should ask the question if they should be competitive to high level meta gear. At the very least all the ancillary boosters should be brought in line with one another, whichever the template.
