And about the docking it think the idea from HIC therd is good, if ship is pointed by HIC it can't dock. problem solved \o/


and not only supers, all of the ships.

Remote ECM Burst , 1 jamming ship if something is going bad?

Undock games are the explicit reason I suggested to implement a long aggression timer for docking with Supers. A 10-15 minute aggression timer would mean that a super would have to stop all aggression for 10-15 minutes before being able to dock up and do anything.

You run into a significant issue of capital seeding. Actually you exasperate it by 1000X.

Currently Supercapitals are regulated by both the number of accounts that can fly them, and by the storage method for them (being more stored by alt players than in pos's). You allow storage of them in stations, then it basically turns into another arms race of storing massive amounts of supercapitals in seeded stations. It is already currently being done with Carriers and Dreadnoughts. You want to add on the ability to seed Supercapitals in strategic stations all over New Eden?

Currently, if the person has 1 account, they can potentially have 3 capitals (one per character), and they run the significant risk of storing extra capitals in a POS (which most people probably will not do in any-type of front-line areas).

You allow docking privileges, you allow the person to double, triple, quadruple, quintuple their super-capital stash with no limit or regulation regarding the amount they could have. You run into multiple problematic scenarios.

1) Every 5 lightyears, in a station, is a stash of multiple super-capitals ready to drop on any location as needed, to be assigned to any pilot as needed, to be used as needed (the limiting factor isn't the jump drive, its now the player jump clone). This pretty much negates and removes the entire purpose of jump fatigue and the Light year range changes.

2) You make some stations completely immune to being taken over (station under attack, undock 50 supercapitals, as each goes down, undock a new supercapital to replace it. Yes this is ridiculously expensive, but people would gladly do it especially if it was a coalition expense).

3) Insurance. You create a method of throwaway supercapitals (we already have throwaway dreads for ganking supers, etc).

Presently, ingame, there is an artificial limit on super-capitals, and it is based on the number of alts a pilot has. They have to have someone to fly/logoff in the thing to make it a secure asset.

You allow them to dock, you blow the only limiting factor on the amount of super-capitals a player can own on both a personal player level and a alliance/coalition level.

I'm suggesting Everybody would stock up on unknown numbers of supers in stations... everywhere.

There would be no limiting factor on the amount of supers one person or one group could control except for the speed of its production (which most are just straight-out bought from producers).

Currently a person or group can only have as many supers as they have pilots, else they risk them by storing them at towers which have their own set of issues (constant fueling, open targets, forgetting to stront, abandoned, theft, roles, etc). Allowing Supers to dock would be removing that controlling check in the game.

If you want to use a legion of holding alts, no one is stopping you, but each of those alts has a holding person behind it, be it a active member, or a director/ceo storage account for backup supers. Is storing supers on alts or in POS's the best option, I don't believe it is.

But neither is storing them in indestructible stations.

Why don't you just say 'Goons uber alles'

Your such a fan boy.

"Guys I bought this ship and it was expensive so it must be better at all things but it has this downside can you remove this downside so it's even better!"

Maybe after the capital ship rebalance, but not in their current state. Supercarriers and titans are way too powerful right now to remove one of their only real downsides.

You should have thought about it before getting into it. Any regrets? Super is a choice, a way of EVE life. Why would rule change for you? You don't like it, give me your stuff .

The Cache/Jump Clone argument really doesn't stick here. Every major coalition is consolidating with this upcoming patch already, and locking up trillions of isk worth of additional assets to stockpile supers is a really bad idea.
