Player Features and Ideas Discussion

One of the things you're overlooking is carriers and dreads have huge Everything values.


A cruiser can be neuted dry with a handful of heavy neuts. It also only has a moderate buffer. This idea is not functional on that ground. Even with a capacitor recharge bonus, to be able to survive neuts+ recharge enough to perma run reps, you'd have to fit like a carrier... cap fit... which can be alpha'd in a few volleys. Or else fit tank so you can survive alpha, but then not rep for more than a few cycles. Logi are already pretty tough. Not much of a change is needed.

That's a good point, I was hoping the short triage cycle would compensate. Perhaps some kind of additional bonus to improve their chances, such as a significant sig radius reduction? Or maybe a temporary boost to base capacitor?

I was imagining this module for Tech 2 cruisers only, which are actually called Logistics Ships.

It works fine for small gang encounters involving carriers, basically allowing that carrier to rep significant amounts of incoming damage while assisting the fleet. It's an asymmetric warfare tactic. It will become less useful the larger the fight gets, just like carrier triage.

But the core strength of Logi is it's small sig, high resists, mobility, and ability to withstand tons of damage under reps.

A single triage is limited. 3 guardians are far superior in survivability to a single triage carrier. Triage carriers also work best in groups of 2-4, cycling who is in and out of triage and being capped up, etc. A single triage CAN rep alot... but a hard point and some neuts and it will die, where guardians can and have(experienced these fights myself) survived 9 geddons all trying to keep up and neut them. A triage carrier has 0 chance against 4 geddons.


The concept is cool. I get what you're trying to do. But I also have flown both logi and triage and t1 logi cruisers, t1 logi frigs, RR BS.....

Having a module that locks a ship that relies on mobility for half it's tank is not effective.


Now if you wanted triage T2 BS.... like there are T2 Siege BS..... THAT could get entertaining :P

How about T2 versions of the former Tier 3 battleships, intended to be used with this kind of module?

Yes yes, they'd be big and expensive and slow but they'd be mini-carriers (of a sort) to match with our sort-of mini-dreads.

We have these ships. They're called Supercarriers. They used to be called Motherships and were originally intended to be omfgwtfbbq hardcore logistics. That didn't entirely materialize because one of the core aspects of their design is currently literally impossible. Right now they don't actually have a unique function of their own, they're just a bigger version of Carriers. They'd be perfect for this idea of yours.
