Lets make a skill to increase ammo loading time. It would be something along the lines every level increased the reloading time by 1 second with an advanced ammo loading skill to increase another second every level.

This generally applies to non-amarr weaponry Cool

Not sure what others think but lemme know.

Hmm, belongs in features and ideas. Still not a generally bad idea...

Why on earth would someone ever train a skill that makes it take longer to reload? That's just stupid.

Now, if you're talking about DECREASING reload time, that could be a decent idea, but increasing reload time is stupid.

If you want almost instant reload times, use lasers. Or you can keep what you have with the ability to choose your damage type and generally do more damage =)

wow,

must be that hard to imagine that he meant increasing reloading speed/decreasing reloading time..

Hard to imagine, but it could be based on percentages -- say, 10%/lvl -- and still have more or less the intended effect while preventing instant reloads.

Folks, just because this should have been in Features and Ideas (and why hasn't it been moved exactly?) in the first place doesn't mean you have to be a raging **** about everything in it by pointing out flaws that simply go away with a slightly generous interpretation. I mean, seriously.

Because eve is an 8 year old game and during those 8 years this has been suggested several times.

What skill will be applicable to Amarr pilots to balance this boost for non-laser races?

Seeing as fast reloads is considered an obvious tactical advantage and is included in balance arguments sometimes about Amarr advantages. And that a faster reload benefit isn't applicable to the Ammar laser preference, what ideas do you have to help equalise the change?


Some ideas:

Directional Focusing: Increase tracking speed of "laser specific" weapons by 5% per level.

Concentrated Crystal focusing: Decrease capacitor use of "laser specific" weapons by 3% per level.

Crystal Tuning: Decrease laser crystal ammo degredation by 10% per level. (aware applicable to certain ammos, and to be honest this doesn't really give so much of a benefit considering current stats, especially when considering the tactical advantage of other races having significant ammo changing/reload delay reductions)

i think its a good idea to change hybrid reload time boost into a skill -1 sec to reload time

only for hybrid. In minmatar way that would be cheating.
