Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I really think it's time to see the days of active tanking bonuses go away. They really aren't viable on ships much larger than a cruiser. You can promote and encourage solo PvP and ships meant for it as much as you'd like, but the truth of EVE is that it's never solo.

Replace the Hyperion's outdated active bonus and bring it in line with the other ships by giving it a 4% resist bonus to armor. Give it some kind of range bonus to make blasters on Galente hulls viable and most importantly give Galente a ship that you can form a doctrine around. The Megathron is great, but suffers from a severe range issue much like the current Hyperion.

Please listen to the players on this one, most of us don't want active tanked bonuses. They just don't work. Keep active bonuses and this ship will remain on the shelf like it has been for years.

I agree, and I think many others do too, that it's time for active tanking bonuses built into ship hulls to go away. I think instead CCP should just integrate a repair bonus into a new rig module so that any armor pilot can choose to enhance his or her active tank if that suits his or her playstyle.

Its not about viability. Its about racial identity. New phoon is very strong but it feels like an armor variant of a caldari ship. We don't want a raven. We want a phoon and we'll accept some nerfs to get it.

Do you feel a single type of drone retains comparable advantages and versatility to a single type of turret?

Maybe that's because you can't stockpile drones in your dronebay like you can ammo in your cargohold. If you lose 5 heavy/sentry drones in a Dominix... it hurts. You only have enough drone space for 2 extra sets of heavy/sentry drones... but realistically you only carry 1 extra set because you need light and utility drones "just in case." Consciously losing drones (and thus DPS) left and right as a tactic is not what I consider very smart (nor cheap).

I might be asking for a bit much here, but 1k drone bay for the Dominix would leave plenty of utility and offensive room for drones.
I guess I kind of think of drone ships like a tool box, but right now you can only fit 3 screwdrivers in the whole thing.

Great, glad to see we aren't completely sold on ruining the few ships in the Gallente line that aren't terrible...so when are you gonna fix local armor and rails?

Hi Rise,

Here's an idea. How about giving the Domi the Geddons neut/nos bonus and giving the Geddon the drone optimal ?

This works for 2 reasons. The Geddon can use cruise to hit at long range and the extra high for a Drone Aug. Close up, torps and drones.

The Neut/Nos bonus would make the Domi a bit OP, Exxcept, it's got Alot less pg than the Geddon. There's no way it could fit a full rack of neuts and the cap injectors to perma them for very long. If anyone tried they'd DIAF because they'd have no tank. It would be nasty for sure, but with the reduced pg and cap you'd have to make serious trade off's between neuting power and tank. And this would fit well with the Domi's long reputation of being a close to mid range brawler.

In my opinion the mega is no hit and run ship because of a lot reasons, first of all your nice mobility buff only works in pvp with a mwd and if you get scramed you are ****** anyway and stuck no way out. Most of your enemys will run a scram and a web and we even have more ships now that got a scram range or web range bonus.
People should realise that you fly a heavy blaster battleship that should be able to fit a good armor tank with a lot of damage thats the role of the ship you cant compare it to every other shipclass that would be a big mistake.
The mega should keep the 5 heavy drones and the 7 blaster 8 high slot layout apart from that 5 mids would be awesome and it should keep 7 lows too make it fair compared to the raven in my opinion.
About the bonus of the ship im not rly sure but i guess its need to be changed.

btw dont destroy the mega its my second favorite ship in eve and i use it a lot for low sec pvp.

PS: PLS FIX ASTARTE !!!

it's already been established that drone boats aren't "competitive for fleet combat"
