Ships & Modules

we could fit 2x lower sized turret insteat of 1 normal turret. For example to a battleship either fit 6 large turrets or 12 medium turrets; since medium turrets have half the size you should be able to fit more small turrets into large slots. This is how things are in reality or in any sci-fi. Let it be a Star Destroyer, Battlestar Galactica or any ship from any space games, all big ships have large number of weapons. This is how it should be, but in EVE they ruin it in the name of so called balance. You are controlling a battleship damn it, you shouldn't even be bothered by pesky frigates or cruisers. No one is using dreadnoughts except for pos bashing, cause you can only fit 3 citadel launchers which cannot hit anything but either a capital ship or a structure. Or you can fit 3 heavy launcher or 3 rocket launchers to a PHOENIX :) How pathetic isn't it? This game could be much more, but needs a serious revamp. We could live the experience of real space warfare with a good revamp :)

"Spellbinding."

So, what, four small turrets to every large one?

Have you ANY IDEA how nasty a seboed Tornado would be with THIRTY-TWO SMALL TURRETS on a gate?

Or, ****, just 32 small blasters for a gank ship.

This is how a REAL capital ship looks like

Add in ratting Titans with 12 large turrets.

And have fun trying to tackle a Titan that traded 2 of his XLs for 8 med guns.

Yeah, there's no way this could possibly be broken at all

In EvE's current state it would be terrible.

The problem is that EvE's ships were designed to use only one type of turret/launcher. Fitting different turrets ( like 4x big + 4xsmall ) is considered silly and for good reason ( it may work for some....funny fits though ).
Changing this would require a total redesign of the game. That of course will never happen.

But I admit that I would like to see ships like Higraan Battlecruiser from HW2 flying in New Eden, kicking asses and chewing bubble gum

64 micro smart bombs?

I, too, enjoy proposing changes to ships without knowing how those ships work or how many things it would break or render useless.

Now, where's my Typhoon with 5x battleship autocannons and 8x rapid light missile launchers? Or maybe my 16 rocket launcher Drake?

Since you're apparently missing everyone's point...

In Eve, every ship is supposed to have a weakness that is not just simply "bring a bigger ship". That was the logic behind the recent nerfs to supercapital ships. They used to not require support ships to protect them.

The GTVA Colossus in Freespace could be equated to a titan in Eve. When titans were first introduced, the intention was that they would be so expensive, there would only be a few of them around, with alliances only ever owning one, maybe two of them. Now we have seen fleets of several tens of titans being thrown around like they're nothing. If each titan had the ability to wipe the battlefield of every kind of ship, the way the GTVA Colossus does in Freespace... what do you think that would do for game balance? How could new pilots get into anything if people with more money can simply zap their ships out of space?

It was design flaw from the start then. They could make owning a titan much much much more difficult. A very basic numerical solution would be increasing price x1000 or x10000 etc.
