has anyone heard of point defense?? I mean come on look at other scifi. Star wars? Star trek? any big ship has special turrents to fight and kill small fighters and other such things..... EVEN DEATH STAR.

Why not add new slot tipe along with hi/med/low: 'point def' slot that is to trade power from main guns to smaller guns so your not HELPLESS if a frigate tackles ur dread??

Petrus... you seem bored (otherwise you wouldn't be trolling GD). Maybe it's time to come back down to FW and raise some hell?

I am deeply sorry for your helplessness against frigates.

In case you are serious: (intentionally left blank)

You do know you can fit smaller guns/missiles on your battleship wich can inflict damage to frigs right ?


Ah yeah but you want to be able to take them all down ... sorry in eve you have to plan ahead and make choices .

Nothing is stopping you fitting small weapons to your ship.

Good luck with that.

heavy neut on a battleship stops those pesky little tackle frigs that fly ahead of their fleet.

EDIT: Drones help too

If only we could fit small frigate tipe turrents into the high slots without doing any special coding...

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

It wasn't really required in EVE PvE. You could launch drones once upon a time and not have them melt in 5 seconds.

Medium Rails Rokh will face tank a level 3. A level 4 too but the med's won't get through the BS in a reasonable amount of time.

For PvP, gank or go home. When in Rome, all that stuff.

First off they can. Just not with guns.

Second, speaking of guns. Who ever heard of a capital ship with only six guns? Well, I'll tell why it is so in New Eden.

Game balance. Plain and simple. Can you imagine trying to go after some Dreadnaught when it has a hundred and twenty five guns of various sizes pointing at you? Not much fun for the attacker, is it?

nothing stops you fitting smaller guns to bigger ships.

Hey bro- theres this new thing that people are doing called: assigning sentry drones. Battleships and even carriers can insta-blap frigates if they drop sentry drones and assign them to a target painting T3. Try it.

Archons are the new drake and the sentry drone is its HML.

You mean those two instances where huge structures (star destroyers, death stars, borg cubes, God) get blown to smithereens by small craft?

There's a reason the Death Star carried a complement of 9,000 TIE fighters: because X- and Y-wings were so fast they evaded the turbo lasers…

Indeed a interesting concept with the down side that you could end up healing the enemy.Twisted
