Player Features and Ideas Discussion

No Ship could use a jump drive between Anoikis systems without CCP releasing a map showing exactly where all the system where in relation to each other and their distances. This would then allow Capitol ships to jump between systems without being restricted by limited mass wormholes or even bridging fleets between two systems not even remotly connected by wormholes at any time.

I do admit that it would be an interesting change but if this was implemented tomorrow, we would see Capitol ships from C5 and C6 Corps jumping into holes all the way down C1 and BlOps bridging in T3s, recons, and bombers right next to them. The main problem would be the disruption of the quality over quantity mentality that CCP has fostered so carefully within Anoikis and shift the balance of power from the small single system corps to large jump equipped power blocks practically over night.

P.S. The cloaked speed bonus is for not being where the enemy saw you land and for aligning out and warping safely.

there is currently a map (player made) of wormhole space, so that information is already out there in the public domain. as for cynoing in fleets etc... i gather you've never lived in a wormhole before cause otherwise you'd know that its not possible to light regular or covert cynos in wormholes so the ability to bridge or jump is just not possible.

and just fyi, jumping from any k-space to a wormhole using a jump drive just is not possible in any way at all. the distance between the closest w-space and k-space systems is approx 1100 lightyears

I am aware that Logi Drones are weak without bonus. My idea would be to replace the drone damage with a drone rep bonus and shift the damage to the lasers somehow. So that you have to choose between rep drones or full damage.
Edit: Also remember we are talking about large rep drones in this case.

Looks awesome, even though I think there should be 7 turrets? At least looks so on that concept.

Also, without a ring it would look a lot better (and you don't have cloak bonus so might be able to deal with it somehow?)

I still maintain that bubble immunity is the only way this ship has a chance. i realize there's little to no chance of that happening because CCP probably doesn't want to proliferate bubble immunity to even more ships, but at least it would give it a usable niche.

The fact is, it's way too expensive to see any real use in PvP. The Machariel is already considered overpowered and you can have one of those for 900m, why would I use this for 3 billion unless it's even more overpowered? It's not going to be made that strong, and for good reason.

For group PvE it's also hopeless, the only thing it has on Marauders for this task is the probe bonus, and you're simply going to be better off with 2 Marauders and a ship with a probe launcher than you are with 3 of these. In addition, the two Marauders and Tengu combined cost less than one of these.

Bubble immunity would let solo players use it to roam around and do exploration content. The super-low mass means you could do the "MWD/cloak" trick with an afterburner and get into warp in 5 seconds, making you pretty damn hard to catch. I mean, it still wouldn't be great for that because a Tengu can run a 10/10 or FSP and this can't, but at least you could do SOMETHING with it.

If you found your way into a C3 with a nullsec static this is probably the best ship you could have as a solo player, as it'll clear sites faster than any other probe-bonused ship, and you'd never have to restock on ammo either. W-space systems with nullsec statics are pretty much as safe as they get. They're usually deserted and the static to 0.0 only opens from the WH side so as long as you never warp to it you only have to worry about gankers from roaming wormholes and WH PvPers rolling their static to find you, both of which are easily countered by just watching for new signatures.



Yeah, it pretty much will. The Stratios is holding steady at a 450m ISK cost and that guarantees a price of at least 2.5bil for this ship as long as it holds, and that's assuming demand for Sisters LP doesn't spike when it's released.

The price of the Stratios might drop a little but I don't see it falling too much further. Barring idiots and people selling at a loss for quick money, the price floor of the Nestor will be regulated by whatever the other Sisters items can be profitably sold for.

In other topics, I think Rise can sufficiently deduce from all of this that the Nestor really really needs something along the lines of a cloaking bonus. Replace the RR amount bonus with it since people seemed so willing to trade amount for range.

And get someone to fix the forums again. This week every single post I make is being eaten the first time I post it, no matter how long it takes to write.

Yes, the bonused drones do that kind of damage. But shifting the damage from drones to turrets is not supposed to lower the total amount of dps.
Yes, actual Remote Repair Systems do repair more HP and do get a benifit from gang boosting.

But having a ship like that would be the exact powercreep version of the Dominix which I would just hate to see.
Instead I proposed a ship, that does more damage and reps less. While using no cap for reppers, which in turn can be destroyed.

The point is, while you are absolutely correct in your comparisons, I made such a proposal deliberately. The whole proposal is (quite) a few pages back.
I'd like to try and refrain to repost the same thing over and over again - like a few others in this thread, but if you care to find it, I would be delighted to hear your comments.

Micro Jump Drive.

And a Vindy goes for 1.1bil to 1.2bil. All depends on demand.

I also don't mind the immunity idea, but I still think allowing it to be able to jump through cynos would be better. Either way though, after it needs to be left be. AND NO covert cloak people!
