Now don't get me wrong, I love what this mechanic has done for the game in terms of awesome RnK videos (Ironclad) but the ability for carriers to refit for any situation, even while being fired upon, kinda negates a lot of the risk of using them when swarmed up on top of other caps.

Why? Why get rid of such a useful game mechanic?

I'm not saying get rid of it. All I'm suggesting is just put a restriction on it. Weapons timers on logi prevent jumping in and out constantly and makes for more awesome fights/tactics, and many many people were asking for that for years.

A delay on the # of mods you can move at once, or just remove the ability to refit altogether while aggressed for _____ seconds.

I was thinking 10-15 minimum, maybe upwards of 30.

Feel free to comment with how many seconds YOU would perfer, or would you rather have it the way it is?

I would rather it stay the way it is.

Combat refitting is one of those things that are available to those that come well prepared and well stocked. Removing it would just remove some of the flavor and spice of capital use/combat.

You need either an easily destroyable depot, or another refitting capital in close proximity. It's not like capitals can just magically replace their mods without any external help.

It would also negatively effect other mechanics, like carrier/dread refitting during WH escalations.

I see no reason to prevent or remove the mechanic. If a person can manage to refit a triage carrier when under fire, more power to them for coming prepared, having a depot or another carrier ready for refitting, and having brought everything you might need to refit.

Some people argue that it makes capitals "too tough to kill", but that's mainly a whine crutch by people with no friends.

Someone recently told me that you can use the Nestor to re-fit while in warp. I'm yet to confirm whether this is true or not - but supposedly it's a game mechanic introduced by CCP on purpose.

-1, sry. Also - this is the second thread about this.

Try this thread: No in-space refit with weapons timer

The subject is being discussed there and has been for the last day or so.
