Player Features and Ideas Discussion

@Fozzie you should probably have also put the fact interdictor bubbles are getting halved in size in this thread too.


Edit: Or are these ADDITIONAL charge types?

Ah, I read that the other way, in which case the concerns about why bother with a dictor stand.

I think the big picture goal is to stop them from being able to move around the board with zero risk. Having an evac cyno on standby if a gate jump goes wrong goes against that big picture objective.

You're carrier/super doesn't get a free pass anymore. Let that sink in. If you want to feel good about it, just look at it this way.... you guys had a pretty good run for quite some time. Focus on the good memories.

You plan to have enough HICs on field with focus points, that you'd be able to have a significant number subcap locked down from an enemy fleet?

You owe me 2 bil isk

Fozzie. CAn I ask you to rethink this nonsense you guys have been doing when balancing Minamtar shield tanked ships when comapred to caldari? The clear example is here, Broadsword is a clear shield tanker as the onix. BUT the broadsword gets MASSIVELY less shiedl HP because it gets more armor EHP. THat is NOT balanced. The armorHP on the broadsword is IRRELEVANT because it is a shield tanker.

BY makign minmatar so much averagish on everythign you make them STRICTLY worse on a realistic scenario.

There is NO logical reason why the onix shoudl have that MUCH more shield HP than the broadsword.

On other hand.. the natural GOOD sides of minmar you have been pretty happy at murderign since the start of tiercide ( as their mobility advantage have been reduced on almsot every single isntance of a tiercide balance pass).

This is sad, CCP. Like playing a card game with a 4 year old. This is what happens when you do stupid stuff like let caps jump through gates. Why does a focus point ONLY prevent a large ship from jumping through a star gate? Why doesn't EVERY point stop someone from jumping through a gate? Consistence, it's a word.

You didn't think the cap changes through. You didn't understand your own mechanics. You'll continue to be forced to make reactionary changes and special exception because you failed to realize the implications of your capital changes. Your solution will end up being worse then the problem after you've built this Frankenstein and it'll be dominion sov all over again. First it was having to role back the changes on JFs now this ridiculous mechanic that turns 9 years of gate mechanic on it's head and makes the rules just that much more complicated to learn. So many special snow flake exceptions.

We'll be right back here in 2 years wringing our hands, 'what to do about cap?!' Do you literally not have anything better to do then rework the same issue over and over? You could have ADDED new counters...but no. You apparently would rather spend the next 2 years reworking every mechanic in the game around caps then add something new as a counter (hint: no mega void bomb).

It's getting old.

What it will stop is carriers playing station docking games. Subcaps will not be that effected.

This is a perfect time to change the Warp Disruption Field Generator II. Currently Hictor points do not stop MJD's. This makes little sense to me as the same point can prevent a supercapital ship from warping or jumping. I would like to see the Tech 2 Warp Disruption Field Generator be able to stop MJD's. That would give a purpose to the long training of Graviton Physics 5. Leaving the tech one variant unable to stop MJD's is perfectly fine.

When doing the changes were you considering new scripts?

-A Script that decloacks cloaky stuff in the bubble ?
-Scram script for the MJD? (perhaps half range?)
-Cyno inhibitor script?
