Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Just random thought - if the only reason to cut down cargo was the cyno thing, could you add ammo cargohold to compensate for it?

For some of my malediction fittings, i already struggled to put enough ammo there (and the fit i flew needed all 12 types), with reduced cargohold and increased RoF things will become much worse.

ITT people who haven't logged significant hours in a Crusader or 00 Interceptors for that matter

And for the record, the Taranis *nerf* results in ~250 eHP less than current.
That's hardly a nerf.

Punching Gallente ships in the jimmies continues.....



Translation:

"All of them but the Ares got faster, it goes from the fastest usable fleet inty to the slowest."


Hopefully a balancing pass will fix them like all the other Gallente ships so far through this tiericide initiative. There is certainly a precedent for getting them wrong the first time through (Mega, Hype). But then again, some stay broken (Brutix). GG.

I'm a little baffled as to what some of the combat interceptors bring to the table. Aside from bubble immunity, something which is admittedly very cool, some of these are useless in comparison to other ships. For example, I really can't see any reason to use a Crusader over a Slicer, or a Taranis over a Comet.

I'm glad the HP thing was just a freak out from lack of data. Interceptors are make of tracing paper already.
I have to say, I don't think the ability to ignore bubbles is needed at all. Interceptors are fast enough for them not to matter very much. If you think they need a bit of help bonus-wise, which I don't believe they do, a different bonus might be in order like a decrease in the effect of stasis webs on your ship or an immunity to MWD shutdown from scrams (or here's an idea, allow a warp core stab to give interceptors that immunity so it's an option you have to fit for)


I don't fly the Amarr and Minmatar interceptors very much, so I won;t comment on them, I am glad to see the caldari interceptors becoming a bit better. I am intrigued by the Ares change, I was under the impression you wanted to get rid of split weapons; I like the concept of making the Roden line of being a missile ship manufacturer a bit more true, but if you want to do it justice maybe you should just make the ares a full on missile ship.

I don't have any major concerns with it at the moment, but I am not good at reading stat numbers, so I'd have to fly the changes to really know. I do notice that speed drop on the ares and am a bit disappointed with it. The reason for me to fly an ares most of the time is that high speed.

On a non related note, I am glad to hear you guys are planning on moving the Enyo, it should be a Duvolle ship. When you do that, though, swap the Nemesis from Duvolle to Roden as well.

To be fair, I think many have tried and given up. Then jumped in a Slicer or an Executioner. I enjoy fighting in the Punisher, but it has tank and a neut. Two mids in itself isn't such a problem up close, esp with a neut. On the Crusader 'kill stuff' interceptor it is.

Let me put it this way. For a lowsec ab frig scrub like myself, what tactics would you recommend to fly the Crusader with success?

Serious, respectful question. Help me 'get' the 'Sader. I've really tried.



Ed. I really have tried. I think the ship model is bitchin'.

As said by others, more lock range don't promote off grid boosting.

Thanx for changes. How about changing Crusader's damage bonus to optimal range bonus like Slicer have?!

I like most the changes to this class, but the immune to bubbles isn't a good idea, Interceptors already can move through bubbles very fast, and rarely have issues being caught if flown right. I think this is just a bad and unfair idea all around. I mean they are already are going to be able to warp faster then all other ships now and caught anything pretty easy anymore. No need to make bubbles worthless against them.

Hey guys, I'm not going to be posting a lot in these threads between now and Monday, when these changes hit sisi. Just want to reassure you all that I'm still going to be reading every post in this thread and that I appreciate the feedback.
