Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hows about only one cap can lock onto that cyno. and to bridge from a titan or a super cap requires a new super cyno that only can be fitted to a cap ship ie a carrier,

so frig pops cyno.

carrier warps in has to wait x amount of time from the jump before can light that cyno. carrier lights cyno titan can then bridge to it

i defo think JB sould be gone from systems

or mabe say the only way for a titan to bridge is with a blackops bs lighting a super cyno.

mabe sould take multipul ships to light a cyno large enuff to portal the enamy ships though the more ships the more ships it requires to activate it.

Ie one ship rops the cyno beacon and ship use some lazor or somthig to power it up. neuts can power it down ur u can blow it up but it has a lot of HP. realy jsut beating about the bush for ieas now.

1ship cyno can jump small gang 5-10 ships 2 ship powered cyo 10-30 and so on if ya want to bridge in

as opposed to the cost of jump fuel keeping the current bridging/cyno system in check?
...does a player need to pilot the jump fuel?

My preferrede solution is mass limits on cynos themselves, both cap blobs and bridges tbh

Are prices keeping ozone in check?

of all the problems titans have had the last six years im not sure the jump bridge capabilities are something people should get worked up about

The cyno should have a mass limit. 5 carriers/dreads, 15 subcaps, or 1 titan/super.

This keeps battles interesting. You can still use the bridge to move a small team around, but not to move your entire coalition at once. People will be able to try new strategies once they don't have to worry about getting megablobbed. Deploying 1 super to support a subcap fleet may become the norm (a nice target for the attackers, a reasonable risk for the defenders because nobody can drop them with 5 seconds notice). The only people who would lose out with this kind of change are the megacoalitions. Smaller nullsec groups and lowsec PVP would benefit the most.

Nice idea, but can be beaten by numbers. Large Alliances will simply line up 10 Titans, and split numbers between them.
If you want to fix power projection, how about on the cyno end?

Give Cynos mass limts, perhaps based on cyno ship size. The more you'll willing to risk with a cyno, the more you can get thru. Apply some upper limit to avoid people using capitals to power project. Say an upper limit of 10 capitals/50 bs for a BS. Frig can only cyno one capital/10bs.
Yes it can still be gamed by lighting a bunch of cynos in BS, but moving cyno ships around for a big jump will get entertaining. You may have to jump in your BS simply to prep the way for a fleet. The numbers are open for debate, obviously. I set those initial numbers to allow for the solo pilot to move his carrier around cheaply still, but moving multiple ships will become a bit more expensive.


Anyway, just spitballin....

Your roaming gang could always try roaming, using gates, rather than sitting on a titan waiting for a smaller gang to come in range.

I have no idea what your original objection was, to be honest. The cyno mass limit is the most sensible, small fix to some of the biggest issues in nullsec. If you think the cyno change would stop people using titans, you're wrong. People don't use them because (1) they're ****, and (2) you can get dropped by anybody at any time with any number of supers. Remove number (2) and people will start using titans a lot more than they do today, a win for titan pilots, a win for smaller groups who don't have N+1 supers available to support their subcap fleets with.

Here's a hint: Structure systems that take large cap/supercap fleets to grind down to reinforced in reasonable periods of time.
