Test Server Feedback

I predict Incursions fleets using mobile depots to switch to these for certain structure bashes.

Originally, the naga could use both cruises/torps and rails/blasters with a bonus to each (was even on the test server for a while in this iteration). It was too good with long range torps, so they took off the missile bonus and missile hardpoints on the final iteration.

Not necessarily. Think freighters and pimped mission runners, you will just need a smaller number of gank ship, so it'll be more efficient and easier to implement. You also forget that some people are just dicks, and will gank at any cost.

edit: If it were 9 figures. then it might given them pause.

edit 2:

Got me thinking - how about a small but inherent risk of your ship exploding upon activation?

Some suggestions:

Kludged
Miswired/Rewired
Sentient Nanite Infested (In game lore! )
Alvi/Alvatis/Alvus (for small, medium and large weapons)
Chocolate Hazelnut

Even if these new guns gave a 33% bonus to damage output, it would take 3 ships fitted with them to be more efficient than +1 ship on the field for the gank. 3 ships fit with 7 guns at a very lowball estimate of 5M per gun is 105M isk.

I don't see where this would be remotely more efficient for any kind of gank that worries about efficiency.

i'm irish and i find the names of these weapons extremely offensive

This is what I was thinking as well. Aside from the naming issue (which is bad) and the idea proposed by Phoenix Jones (which is good - no corp bias) having the resist loss only while the guns are active makes a lot more sense from a tactical standpoint. From the discussions about the T3 Dessies, it is evident that changing bonuses to hulls on the fly in space is now possible based on "______" so it stands to reason that it ought to be possible to alter the hull stats based on active state of any one of these weapons.

In this way, pilot skill and battlefield awareness play a role in when or when not to active these "Ultimate (insert name) weapons of Deadliness +5" weapon systems.

Indeed but keep in mind tiericide is changing names.

How are you not used to the toxic, overwrought and poorly thought out responses to perfectly normal things you guys suggest in your product already? Tell them to HTFU and quick.

Someone even stole our alliance name as an alternative suggestion - which while flattering - makes even less sense than have a weapon system 'blight' nerf your ship's resistance to damage.

Ignore the online thesaurus wielders with poor english skills is my advice.

... infact Overwrought might be a decent alternative now I think about it. Maybe too many emotional connotations than technical but still better than most of the crap in this thread.

How about......Overcharged?


Overcharged Medium neutron blaster
Overcharged Heavy Pulse Laser
Overcharged 425mm autocannon

I dont think it sounds that bad, its more into the sci-fy area and
it also indicates that the weapons are fed with such Power that other functions in the ship stop working.
Like Resistance etc.
