I wanna be able to anchor my carrier so I can live from it like a mobile home. Then we can start up trailer parks full of anchored carriers and everyone can sit around with a shotgun while drinking moonshine and taking meth.... err I mean drop

I heard they're working on a Mobile Titan Unit. It will auto-doomsday anything hostile on grid within a 250km radius. Cycle time 60 seconds. You can repackage it and it will fit into most T1 frigates without issue, where it can then be anchored on grid directly from the cargohold.

And yes, it will be deployable in hi-sec.

It will involve a cyno.

Also immune to probes and d-scan, for ultimate trappage.

All carriers will now only be able to launch 9 fighters, with an additional anchorable structure that enables the use of a 10th fighter, but any one on grid can use it.


Same deal with dreads, 2 guns to start with with a 3rd that anchors which can assist using sentry drone mechanics to anyone on grid.


Also the archon gets an extra mid and a 10% increase to armour HP.

i'm sure they will make a starting point and over time change it around... :)

Nothing, they're wasting their time on dumb deployables which are silly as hell and will create hilarious issues down the line. They already realise this so they come pre-nerfed which is another word for "might as well not bother". They will continue to waste time on new deployables because uhm..... err... yeah.

The phoenix will be receiving a massive reduction in mass and a -99% CPU bonus to probe launchers. Also, it will receive a secong role bonus of +15% strength to the probe launcher to reinforce the fact that it is the biggest and best scan ship in Eve.

Capitals will have jump drives removed, will be able to use gates, and will warp at .1AU/sec and have agility decreased by 500%.

No capital will be able to dock at all ever again, and even a carrier will require holding sov under strenuous new requirements to build.

All carrier drone bays will be reduced in size to only accommodate 15 light drones.

All capitals including supers will have a 125% reduction in HP across the board and will no longer be able to fit resistance modules or Damage Control modules.

When more than 10 capitals are present in any 1 system, it will trigger an automatic node crash, and will remain crashed until the number is reduced to 10 or under.

Doomsdays will now have a chance to backfire and destroy the titan firing it.

When more than 200 drones are present on the field, mob mentality takes over and all drones turn rogue and attack everyone.

New anchorable module makes no loot drop.

Im guessing it will be something like this.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I dont care what he does with capitals, so long as it creates so much tears that they'll need to put a tear collection unit into the game.

Then use those tears as a fuel for something...

Have tears fuel an un-inhibitible standard cyno (highsec capable) and an super extended range titan bridge.

You would literally never run out of fuel.

Don't hate the Phoenix. It is the only viable RLML platform.

I'm not. I actually use my phoenix for scanning. I load it with a probe launcher, siege, and two RLML. Is very sexy.

Personally I'm hoping for more relevant faction capitals. Or perhaps even a deployable capital, that only takes up 300 m3 and inflates like an emergency boat.
