Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I have set my mind on Crusader.

Either give it 3rd mid or optimal bonus instead of tracking. If not - remove this ship completly as it will be total garbage as it always was.

CCP - perhaps give double damage bonuses out like the taranis has so you can swap some highs for mids so inties can actually tackle would be nice

Amazing changes, however I would have liked to see a longer lock range. At the speeds these ships move that lock range is very, very short. I guess it's balanced by the scan res?

I forgot to complain about fitting. My ares currently has a mwd, a nos, a 200mm meta plate, and the rest of the slots are either offline or 1pg mods, leaving me with 0.5 spare. I don't quite get how I'm supposed to fit split weapons in the highs when I have no grid. I'd also quite like to be able to fit an ancillary rep along with the plate, so it's usable without logistics, like the shield buffer inties are.

Echoing above sentiments: Lockrange

Take a closer look at this please. Large fleet you can have a booster but low sec small gang and solo inty pilots don't want (and shouldn't need) to have an off grid booster - That's the whole point of solo..... You may remember some time ago about solo and small gangs...

I saw one suggestion for rockets on Claws? Not a bad idea? Even with a lower HP and a higher speed, it would be nice to be able to hold down an opponent at arms length and pound him with rockets. The Claw should be able to go up against another T1 frig without necessarily being a guaranteed loss.

i guess im gonna have to join the growing chants of moar cowbell... i mean more lock range!

maybe not as much as some say but plz appreciate that we're going hella fast at targets and as soon as we've finished locking the increased point range means pretty much nothing.

Now the following will probably sound slightly hostile at times. Sorry about that, at least i liked the warp changes?

I hate just about everything here.. I don't even know where to begin.

Crusader has 2 midlots ergo it is **** no matter what else it does. Its like a ****** slicer with no range (And i'm pretty sure that even with the tracking bonus it still doesn't track as well as blasters.. and does less damage.. Why is scorch still the only thing lasers are good for?)

Maledictionnot absolutely awful but fittings are still a lot too tight if you want to actually fit a tank on it. There is a difference between meaningful fitting choices and needing to gimp the damn thing.

Raptor, 3 mids and shield tanking.. So either i don't fit a web.. Or i don't fit a tank? Great, that basically means that this will be a kiter 100% of the time. Well that is if you ignore the fact that ALL lml ships are better at kiting than this.

Crow Well i'm glad to see you're finally accepting that utility high slots are the worst slots.

Taranis fittings are still pretty awful.. I don't really see a point in the slight HP nerf seeing how its hardly overpowered as it is.

AresWhat the flying ****? like, i don't even know what to say... Why? like.. i don't even know... lml Ares... i hate this idea ALMOST as much as i hated t2 res marauders... Just.. Don't do this, its awful.. Also 30 powergrid.. I have a saved fit that has 0.5pg left over without any guns and a ******* festival launcher.. Just.. What the ****?

Claw Ok are you just ******* with me now? The claw.. a ship that gets bonuses to AC's.. has 45 PWG? So.. The Ares.. that uses blasters... where the smallest ones use 4 pg.. has 30.. But this.. that can use AC's that require 1 god damn powergrid has 45? No, this is not ok. You can't just give AC fitted minmatar INFINTE fittings so that they can use artillery.. Decrease the ******* stupid fitting gap between Arties and AC's so that a ship can fit Arties without having ALL the fittings with AC's

A Claw with a full rack of 200's will have 40 pg left over... meaning that with minor fitting implants you could fit a full rack of AC's.. and a 400mm plate.. Yes having only 2 midslots is terrible but unlike the Crusader this will actually have GOOD tracking.

(for those who are interested a Taranis with a full rack of neutrons has around 19.5 pg left over.. less than 50% of what the Claw will have.. And the Ares has even LESS.. I have no words.. really..)

Stiletto4 mids, still probably the best of the bunch when it comes to the general role of being an interceptor and it even has sensible fittings. I have no real problems with this one.

perhaps you could also buff the fittings so you can actually put some tank mods on these aswell as guns/launchers

Depends on your grasp of reality i guess.

Oh finally the crow will be what it should had been. :)
