EVE General Discussion

Given the limitations of supercaps as to where they go, and what their weapons systems are, I'm not sure what the difference is if you dock one or not. As we all know these ships can be brought down, they are not invinceable or instant I win buttons for all of eve. I would not be opposed to having them dock. Perhaps with the new POS revamp there will be something put in place for this where supercaps can be parked (safely that is CSMA's are way to open to Corp Theft) and toons can change ships. This way they are only as protected as the POS and players do have options. There is still risk involved if the structure is destroyed the ship should either be instantly un-docked allowing for anyone to hop into it to steal it, or take severe damage from the POS explosion leaving it crippled and in need of repair or leaves it open to futher gun fire.

Either way I understand the OP's feelings of wanting to be able to do more than sit in big ship and stare out into the black.

A CSMA can store 155 million m3 of ships. A Titan has a volume of 155 million m3.

A regular Carrier can easily be stored in a normal SMA. An SMA doesn't require Sov (like most things related to supers) and doesn't paint a "there's a Super here" bullseye on the POS it's in.

Just like CSAAs are for building Supercapital Ships (X-Larges are for normal caps), CSMAs are for storing Supercapital ships.

You can park supers and titans in them. Anything else you want to add to the game that already exists?

You really do not need much time for the game if you're a supercap pilot.

Most days I can play 10-15 minutes tops. Would not even have the time to bridge a fleet away and log off. Much less to talk with the alliance officers about how / when to setup the task.

Yeah, it doesn't work like that anymore. You're already positioned to bridge at your logoff spot. Most alliances have enough titans these days that bridges are done on demand rather than planned in advance in any way.

So ok as a pilot able to fly a super cap two if I wanted to all I can say is stop crying.

First of all from their launch super capitals have been broken. They where alternately to powerful , to weak, to boring not boring enough and pretty much all other states of hopeless and pointless in between.
CCP made a big mistake when they introduced these as they attempted to make them nearly impossible to afford in order to prevent to many people from owning them. They had underestimated the POD pilots as within a few months one of them already died, and soon enough these enormous ships where a common enough occurrence on most killboards. The high price and long build time with high skill requirements for both production and usage where no limitation just a little annoying to most who fly or build them.

Now you are asking for them to be basically the same as all other ships. Just dock them without any risk of ever loosing them and only pull them out of the hanger when your corp needs you to. In other words break them further then they already are...

Due to the nature of the game CCP can't get rid of super caps nor change their role to much without upsetting players with deep pockets and usually long histories in the game. The only thing that CCP can do is promote these types of complaints from players that have been in their coffin for a long time and want to get out to as many young players as possible hoping to convince them not to use the one game mechanic that is more broken then level 4 missions.

The only good super cap solution would be to remove their offensive capabilities and simply employ them as staging points for fleets, while they can be destroyed of course. That would remove the need for any serious alliance to have fleets of super caps and it would make most players stop wanting to be in them.
I would very much like to see a super cap free eve. Not only was it much more fun in fleet fights it also allowed for more senior players to fly any ship they liked without having to cry about flying a coffin.
Like many others suggested before if you don't like it there is no reason why you could not sell your current ship and buy a new one in a few months. This is as close to perfectly save parking as any super cap pilot should ever come.

I'm a complete noob and new to the game. Give me your character for a bit and I will take that ship out for a spin.

PS: It would make a noobs dream come true and take it off your hands.

The killboards say otherwise.

I see plenty of large ships parked in a POS as the pilot is off flying a different ship.
