Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I think its time a new ship is introduced to the game. A ship with the sole purpose of killing super capitals. We could even use a special structure or something.

Here is what am thinking... A bunch of those ships would be able to combine their fire power into one powerful super capital ass kicking weapon. Or we could introduce another structure to the game. THE DEATH CANNON ( we can talk about the name if you want)

This new structure can only be carried by a freighter. That way you wouldn't just have everybody in the fleet carrying one. Once deployed, there will obviously be a timer before the device can be online. The device will need fuel. I vote for coolant and liquid ozone. Once fully deployed the structure will be able to deal massive damage to supers or kill capitals with ease. 3 shots for a titan, 2 for a super carrier and one for a capital ship

Just to make sure that this isn't deployed all over the bloody place. They will only be able to be used in Null Sec. Once deployed, a second one can be deployed but nowhere near the first. The fuel cost to fire up one of those puppies should be freaking high. Something that only alliances/coalitions could handle. A fully fueled death cannon can be fired 5 times (don't know what cycle time should be). There should also be a draw back for having to many death cannons anchored in a system. That's right, you wont be able to turn all your poses into the death star :). This structure would also be able to deployed away from a pos. Anywhere in space.

With this, supers will be at a greater risk when deployed. If the opposing force doesn't take out the cannon, they will be losing caps on a scale that would make B-R look petty.

We can even ad game-play around the cannon if an alliance wants to anchor one just for defensive purposes. The cannon would need maintenance every now and then. A small amount of fuel would be used by the structure to keep it combat ready. If the structure isn't maintained well, it would take longer to online when needed.


Not very knowledgeable when it comes to HP of structures, so ill leave you guys to determine what the HP should be. A new skill book will be added to use the cannon. Skill book will lower the fuel cost and online time. The cannon cannot be fired from within a pos. Fc would delegate who is going to fire the cannon when the fleet is created.

Right now, the only way to counter a super blob is another super blob. Not fun for the other people in an engagement who cant afford a super or doesn't want to be tied down to one ship.

Bigger and even less accessible to the majority of the population is not good. See the proliferation of supers and the current state of null.

The problem with a null only ship is that you have to be in null to have one. Thus if you are not in null when they are release, you will not be getting one. The major blocs will build theirs and then control the production like today's supers. Nothing changed, except the bar is even now higher.

This would also need to be usable in WH space as well if implemented.

However, there should only be one and it should be named BADI DEA

Why cant eve players ever give constructive criticism. Its always... shut up you noob..... you dont know anything..... this is a horrible idea..... In all the threads i've read, nobody gives ideas on how someone's idea good be better. Null stagnation will never be fixed if this is the attitude the community seems to have. We are just gunna wait for magical ideas to fall out of the sky and fix everything.

So many smart people in eve but yet we cant get anywhere

Dreadnoughts, Titans and Fighter Bombers all fill this role.

But forcing caps to never undock/log in just puts the former capital pilots into very highly skilled subcaps.

What does this have to do with newbies anyway? If I'm flying my dread, I couldn't kill a newbie if I wanted to. If I can't use my dread, I'll be flying a subcap, which can kill newbies quite easily.

Pretty sure you don't rebalance caps by making them useless either.

I think you're the one on the wrong end here.

First of all, negative criticism is still constructive. Make sure you understand that. Knowing and understanding are two separate things.

Secondly, he doesn't give a **** about how good or bad your idea is here, he's pointing out that such a topic already exists and that posting it again is a waste of time, even more so because that existing thread should already have a lot of feedback on the similar idea so that you may possible reformat to change yours.

AND finally, regarding the actual idea I can never see this as ever being a possible change to happen to EVE because titans are that very weapon for each other. They have no other purpose than to do that and make jump bridges. They ARE the anti-capital capital.

Making a smaller version (such as something along the lines of a bomber or attack BC) would be incredibly unfair to the veterans that have spent all their time and effort to get these large ships. Killing them shouldn't be easy and should be done with proper coordination and tactics.

Dreads ALREADY do this...

Am I to assume that these are system wide weapons or only on grid ones? i might of missed it in the OP

K, I ll do that like in the other thread, step by step.

Assumption. Facts and data please. Subscription have been similar over the course of years with ups and downs, CPP and EVE is still here against all the other flamed out games. So go, data please.


Wrong conclusion and even based on a false assumption. It is about keeping a certain amount of paying players or an equal exchange of new vs old ones. Stop believing in the endless growth myth.


Assumption, wrong again. Though I am not much in null, I can see even from here, that a lot of other ships are viable. Its down to pilots, numbers, intel, counterintel, organization and a good command and opportunity.


All ships are months, years out if you want to fly them proper, stop holding the new player image hostage.


Cant do more quotes, so I do it again part by part.:

Nobody ... :Assumption about what is the right/wrong way to play, casual is btw. the right way to get annoying long time skills down.

If we... :Assumption and false observation, they are relevant, just not in your limited perception, imagination. I for instance will never go into caps, probably not even Marauders, though I am not set on those.

we may ... low skillpoints: Wrong, every pilot can be used to matter, low skillpoints is no hindrance, only your own perception/imagination as a (new) player and commander using them.

And that should show you how much at fault you are


PS: And besides, we are completely off the topic and I will retract myself from this nonsense now. I did what I came here to do, either support and further or oppose and prevent a suggestion or unmask it as redundant.
