Wormholes

James, this is such garbage. A chimera already CAN do this in a Pulsar. Easily.
If that's the benchmark youre using for this, you need to re evaluate.

Also, why is this an issue? Triage carriers have been getting worse and worse for years now with the buff to dreads and BSs and all subcaps, I don't see any issue at all with making them a bit better.
Used to be a triage carrier could stand against multiple dreads but now they can barely tank 1.

If you want to look at tank issues, go try break a dozen archons in a C6 cata. yeah, it aint gonna happen.
I don't see why that isnt an issue but a better triage chimera is.

So let me get this straight..

I've been scanning and traveling A LOOOT (hundreds of system) in the last couple days, yet I see little to no activity unless highsec.

Yet you (CCP) want to kill it even further by making it less safe so even less people will be there??

Sounds logic CCP.

Yeah, I went back to the internal thread on it, and this is what I wrote when it was being hashed out.
"Edit: You're looking at Pulsar Chimeras and Wolf-Rayet Archons being around on par for tank ability with boosts and effects within the same price range... but the Chimera will have over 400 gj/s of spare capacitor. You can look at a ton of different fits, but it comes down to similar tanking per cost with it being massively more difficult to neut down a pulsar, which is the only way many gangs can kill them. Add this in and they can be fit for even more recharge, or to local tank through a talisman bhaalgorn and two moros at the same time, cap stable."

So you're absolutely correct, lifting the exclusion wouldn't be bhaalgorn+moros, it'd be talisman bhaalgorn+2 moros.

God this thread is full of bads. A few points:

1) Pulsars strong encouraging shield comps is great. Why do they also have to have a *giant* boost to cap? What if the cap boost was reduced, perhaps with some small boost to shield boost amount to keep active tanking about the same as it is now? Would that ruin everyone's game?

2) Shield links not being consistent is dumb. New people don't understand it, it doesn't make sense, and it would be good if it was fixed.

3) None of the current CSMs were arguing anything at all different from what I am saying here. They were dumb because they didn't think to maybe get a little more explanation in the minutes, and also by not getting out in front of this by posting here as soon as the minutes come out, but their hearts were in the right place.

Fine with me. My issue is that killing things like this 44 BILLION ISK carrier took 3 dreads, 3 BSes and 24 T3s quite a while. Pimped out Chimeras in Pulsars are basically immune to neuts, unless you have a bunch of bhaals, and those bhaals don't get blapped by a dread who can hit them easily because of the giant sig radius.

Make ships in Pulsars tough to kill, but they need a weakness. Right now you just have DPS, and you need a lot to outrun a ship fit like the one I linked.

Wow, aren't you mad. I can only hope you are trolling or are actually just plain stupid, as your sig suggests.



For a group who almost unilaterally flies around in what are currently considered 'broken' ships ( i love them myself ) you complain an aweful lot. We're doing a big drive to get people in shield boats, but since you guys fly in them all day, and have a home advantage in them, I guess you miss why other people, who do not have the forementioned, choose not to engage you. Idiot.

Both CSM's, for good or bad, are doing their best. They also play eve and have real lives, so apologies if they aren't as transparent as you'd like, perhaps if you paid them for doing a job maybe they will respond with your required urgency to all future butthurt forumposts rather than leading their otherwise guiltridden lives ( we love playing them off against eachother )

I can see why people dislike the idea of wolf-rayet / pulsar changes, but look at the wider picture outside wormholes and try to understand how they are mitigating the potential effects on you, rather than letting CCP steamroll and let stupid **** happen.

K162's terrible idea chitsa - bad bad bad. Back to ragerolling ( terrible ) and all the power in hands of aggressor ( terrible ) - no 'fights' just 'ganks' which I think we can all agree, are not as entertaining as the former.

@ Jack - you're just arguing for the sake of it buddy, whysomad?

The Chitsa promised to quit his job and CSM full time, which apparently lasted for a few weeks until he discovered the CSM wasn't paid or something and even The Chitsa doesn't get free rent. It was a real campaign promise of his though.

now you just have me curious...

@ Jack - I appreciate your apathy and share most of your sentiments, but god damn am I happy I can change subsystems now!

@ Twostep - All politicians run on empty promises, he's even found a lady now! We have to fight hard to make him do his summary whelps even!

Actually we don't fly in shields ships all that much TBH and most of our brawl gangs are Armor T3's. I just hope after your flavor of the month shield flying you find a suitable shield doctrine to keep in your armament, i like fighting you guys but i dislike seeing all your buthurt in local chat when we have reshipped into a shield composition in our Pulsar and wont take the range shield fleet to 0m on the other side of the Wh to suit your Armor T3 gang with 11 guardians...

I do try.
