Will you please just stop posting?

Glad im not the only one feeling this

Fixing Hybrids! Thank you CCP!

But I don't think just tweaking the numbers on the guns will solve things as the platforms they are welded to are also flawed as discussed in many other posts. They need a paradigm shift. All other weapons have unique characteristics: missiles don't miss (mostly) and lasers no ammo etc.

Hybrids: need ZERO time to reload/switch ammo (just like a script) as the balance for having to carry ammo, burn cap and have no ability to change damage type. Then improve the ammo so that the platforms can actually control range via ammo and deal correspondingly decent damage at range or melt your face crushing DPS in close.(similar to the T1 ammo concept but actually effective) In close targeting should be boosted by the ammo, not reduced. Yes many of the numbers and fitting requirements need to improved/changed but there needs to be a reason that makes Hybrids cool and match them to the pigs they are on. Their overall performance should outmatch all others due to the extra management needed in switching ammo in a fight/plus managing drones/trying to deal with kiting etc. This would make Gallente the hardest to fly but if done properly, produce the highest performance. Also make it the hardest via skill points as a further price to pay for the performance.



Time for CCP to prove they don't hate us!

This goes with the argument I made in the CSM forum regarding some ships having a armor / shield boost bonus and some have resists bonus'. It makes no sense!

Myrm / Brutix atm is pretty much poor in fleet encouters, they are okay for PVE because of the boost bonus. My argument was why not just give them all a resist bonus' as this affects PVP and PVE.

That way all ships can be used for all things, you never know more tactics might be developed and people will stop flying the flavour of the month stuff all the time.

The Cyclone for example, hardly ever EVER used in PVP because it doesnt have enough mid slots to support the boost bonus. If it was a resist bonus though it would be like a much better version of the Ferox. Faster, more dps etc. (Only reason the Ferox blows is because the Hybrid system is sh!te but that is getting fixed).

You lot have clearly never lived in a wormhole, have you--we get on just fine without a local, blues, sov, stations, or even knowing where our "out-gate" is (without probing it out first), let alone where it goes.

Try some real end-game content, mate, and PvP based on real hunting, not that happy fluffy warm--and yes, it must be said, because it's true--easy--known-space zerosec circle-jerk sometime...

Local should not be removed but...you should not be spoted in local if you're not entered by gates.
As soon as you appear on the grid of an Outpost, gate, TCU or eventualy an NPC you're spotted in local.

In that way, local in High sec will remain the same , Black Ops find a reson to be. A hotdrop will gain a suspens etc...

So if you're bridged by a Titan, a Black Op or a Jump Bridge you can stay hiden as long as you do not warp uncloacked to a gate, a station, a belt with rats or a TCU.

I ******* love my idea :p

Your user community has been serious about spaceships for years. Where have you been?

More importantly, when will you stop making flip remarks in forum posts ("rabble") regarding paying subscribers who care enough to write feedback on and ask questions about CCP's endeavors?

Hilmar writes with some measure of humility. I do not believe that you share that sentiment in the least.

I can't help but not noticing the door to CQ opening. Will the CQ end up in other areas this winter ? Or is it stalled ?

Honestly there are a few major problems I see with 0.0 right now and they come down to fundamentals not specifics. CCP seems focused on a bottom-up fixing of a certain weapon system or module, or whatnot and this is not the right approach.

1. Define roles for each class of ship, or if multiple ships in a class variances on those roles.

2. Stick to a methodology in terms of combat relationships. supers beat caps beat battleships beat cruisers beat frigs, and inside a ship class ships have some level of parity. The previous is an example, but stick to something and don't jump around.

3. EvE should be about Corporations not alliances. Corporation mechanics should be strengthened, Alliance mechanics weakened. An alliance in the real world implies peers working together for a goal and these tend to run fairly democratically. Doing things at an alliance level should be beurocratic and time consuming. Get rid of dictatorial alliances. Make most alliance actions require CEO votes via mechanics like adding/removing corps, standings changes (although allow a 24hr temp standings change), alliances fees/tax mechanics should be put in the game and be voted on as well.

Alliances have become what corporations once were and that in my opinion is not a good thing. I am not saying do away with them but we already started with Sov mechanics such as TCUs being onlined by corps not alliances. Examples would be whoever holds the TCU is the only corp allowed to hold outposts, ihubs, customs thingys, etc. Let a corporation set a tax level for a system set on the TCU that applies to those not in the corp who use the space. Yes alliances can still work around this with holding corps etc if they so choose but there is much that can be done to strengthen corporations from better divisional tools, better member management tools, direct control of systems under their TCUs and many many other things.

4. Moons / True-Sec - These things should vary with player action. On a moon you find a vein of Tech.. cool.. when its mined out it randomizes a new mineral vein for you. Easy peasy... again this puts finances back in the hands of corporations and out of the hands of alliance elites. True-sec as well should either degrade with heavy ratting/plexing or improve with a lack thereof, if this is too complicated it should be randomized all this stuff quarterly or something as a less elegant solution. Also, moon minerals should appear at the Planetary Customs Office and be subject to tax just like planetary resources now that this will be a player mechanic. It also encourages raiding PCOs that should drop a chunk of the goods they have inside if popped.

5. The ihub nerf - For a brief period in EvE history small alliances and corps could grab a chunk of space spend billions of isk and upgrade even crappy 0.0 space to be semi-decent space. This was PRO small alliance, PRO small corporation and good for the game. Of course RMT and other factors ruined this. ihubs should not in any way have their efficacy tied to system true-sec, this change once again reduced vast stretches of 0.0 to garbage compared to the handful of pockets occupied by the already wealthy and powerful.

Thanks for your time, I am just putting ideas out there.

T2 bomber launcher with that do 2 charge per cycle would be awesome. And have t2 bombs which have 1.5x/2x the hp of normal bombs (same resists vs only bomb of same type though).

T2 sphere launcher for dictors which can shoot bubble like a bomb!
