EVE General Discussion

How's about;

The inability to launch/use fighters while remote rep active? And changing capital remote reps so they can only be activated by overheating the mod, giving a period of use before it burns out and must be replaced.

Give titans a huge fuel upkeep of some-kind, 5-10 bil per month? They're fine as they are, but the 100's that are kept moth-balled until the bat-phone rings seems like the wrong idea. Supposed to be some-kind of iconic flag-ship right?

Problem is we're all meta-gaming immersion-killing b*tches that will always seek the proportional 'I win' button. Super-capitals are just another flavour. At least CCP stir the pot enough to stop the particular tastes of mathematical-loophole souring the palette too much.

But anyways; 0.0 life isn't supposed to be fair or fun, it's supposed to be a 2nd job run by the kind of nerd that is experiencing social authority/power for the first time and is making up for all those wedgy's in high-school. In the same way they stood no-chance against the bunch of jocks that shoved them upside-down in a locker, you will stand no chance against the indestructible super-cap blob.

If you give them 20 fighters they will use 20 sentries. Carriers need to have thier drone bay and fighter bay separated.

Perhaps there are just too many of them.
Would it help to make them easier to destroy? Would they be fielded anymore?

Perhaps they are too easy to move.
Would it help to remove the jump drives and force them to use gates?

Perhaps it's too easy to field so much at one time?
Would it help to Limit their use (e.g. 1 cap per 10 subcaps in fleet, 1 supercap per 5 caps in fleet)?

Perhaps they are too easy to build/Train into.
Would it help raising the bar to get (into) them?

Perhaps it's too easy to crash a node with enough of them.
Would it help to limit the overall amount to a number with wich no node can be brought down?


In my eyes the balance of production and destruction of these is somewhat out of balance.

My suggestion would be to allow destroyers to fit capital torpedo launchers a la WWII destroyers. Not BB (BB = battleship; BS is what you hear on the evening news) like stealth bombers, but CAPITAL torpedos - or the appropriate capital gun module for other factions so as to avoid excessive missile crosstraining. Give them a massive reduction to PG/CPU so they can fit a full rack (very tightly), and maybe a tracking penalty when fitted with such modules so they can't easily insta-gank other ships (although I think the cost of capital guns would prevent excessive use of them anyhow).

Don't otherwise change the destroyer when fit with SMALL guns - leave it alone for that, but they could carry 7 or 8 of the larges. This would allow a large number of small, otherwise easily killed ships, to do much more damage to supercaps that have a hard time shooting them back - requiring other small ships to fend them off.

Destroyers also wouldn't have siege mode, leaving dreads well above them in firepower, and because they rely on mobility for defense. Also, I'd make it short range guns only for the DDs.

If destroyers are too light, maybe T1 cruisers could be used instead, or in addition.

Or create a new EWAR that specifically interrupts remote repairs.. maybe remote boosting as well.

THIS THREAD IS NOW IN FULL R3TARD MODE!

i wonder how the mobile cyno jammer will affect future fleet fights?

Oh I have an idea for "fixing" supercaps, turn all Aeons in the game into Archons, all Avatars into Revelations and so on with all the races.

Supercap proliferation fixed I'll be submitting my resume within the hour CCP so we can get this rolling.

i'm about 2 years and have enough for a supercarrier, already got the pilot up to alliance requirements

grr, it's a blobber
