What about the addition of sub-cap ships designed to cobmat capitals? I know a BC sized super -bomber has been suggested before, or what about a super tackling BS?


I have no problems with this. Except the BS. Why every new ship in Eve has to be a Battleships is just beyond me. I think we have enough of those by now to be honest.

But hen you dont get to cry about capitals designed to take out sub-caps either.

Everything has a counter in Eve. And if it doesn't, it will eventually.

I merely suggested a BS for its durability. Any ship tackling a super is going to get primaried sharpish and its going to need a good buffer to weather the **** storm.

Someone also suggested an anti cyno ship, blocking on grid cyno use, rather than system wide cyno use.

I love the idea of an Anti Cyno ship, this prevents fights from escalating and will allow for some funky new tactics.

i have also seen posted the idea of a cyno scrambler that means the caps land randomly in system..... an interesting idea for sure!

It wouldn't stop the escalation, but it would delay it. Ships would be unable to just cyno in point blank. They could still cyno on off grip and then warp to target. A bump in the road of you will.

Cyno scrambler idea has merit, especially if that presents a possibility that capitals could be scattered to the winds and could be scanned down on their own while they are vulnerable.

As for the Super Bomber BC, an up scaled SB with 4 or 5 citadel torps could make a big dent, of properly bonused. I've seen ideas for mega bombs and such, but I still think they are inappropriate.
