Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Too many changes and suggestions on one single thread. We need to break this up. I like some of the ideas and changes but I am not so hot on some of the others like space harpoon.

Supercarriers don't need a tweak they need a new role.

Players should be able to dock ships inside supercarriers, like they would if they were docking in a station. When docked they would just see the outside of the Super. Supercarriers should then be able to jump to a cyno with players docked inside. Unlike a titan bridge which does not require an asset to be committed to the battle, players that enter the field via a Supercarrier jump "do not" gain jump fatigue - however the Supercarrier pilot does gain fatigue. To make this viable the size of the fleet hanger and ship maintenance bay need to be increased. Supercarriers also need to be given the role of ON GRID boosters which should be far superior to the current booster ships (which need to be nerfed because off grid boosting is stupid and Command ships are too **** to actually be effective on the battlefield - they need a new role but that's a different topic).

You should elaborate on why the suggestions are bad.

PS: There's no need for the excessive use of even. You're not a white girl.

Why doesn't it fix capitals? You didn't answer my question.

[EDIT] God damn phone ate my post. [EDIT] ATE, not at. FFFF.

what the ****

I did read the thread

there was no reason to any of the suggestion he posted. He just made it without any elaboration.

He wants to increase fighter EHP when they already got a huge buff after CCP just exposed Fighters to Drone skills such as Drone Durability, which already gives them a huge tank buff. Those fighters already had cruiser tanks.

He wants to remove the Carrier's ability to get a +1 to drone controls per level then put it into Drone Control units. Why? what is the point and how does that fix carriers at all? Theres no point, he just moved it from one place to another and nothing changes.

He wants to split carriers into two types of basically a DPS and a Logistics carrier, why? theres no real point of this at all, no justification, no reason why he suggested this.

He wants to basically cut dread DPS in half as if they were OP or something, then give a tracking bonus to them so they can hit subcaps? did/does he not read anything on zkillboard on the loads of dreads that have killed tons and tons of subcaps? Does he not understand the turret formula for what constitutes a hit? Probably not because of this.

He wants to increase fighter EHP when they already got a huge buff after CCP just exposed Fighters to Drone skills such as Drone Durability, which already gives them a huge tank buff. Those fighters already had cruiser tanks. With this he wants drone control units to aide to their EHP again, but with no justification, because fighters are apparently easy to kill or something. Then he just randomly says "buff fighter EHP" for no reason at all.

He says "Can the nidhoggur not be bad?" yet he's never flown one or sounds like hes never thought of their purpose. The nidhoggur is used as a great suicide triage carrier because of the massive bonus it gets to rep for armor and shield. Its a great WH carrier BECAUSE it can do both of these.

He wants to reduce the cost of the supers and titans, but didn't give a reason why. I already stated above why this was a stupid idea, it doesn't give them a purpose, it just makes it that if I was going to fly a carrier I might as well fly a super, who cares about. Why fly a 1b+2b fitting chimera when I can fly a Wyvern for double the price that gets 10 times the tank, thrice the DPS at least and is immune to ewar all around?

He suggest there be a "space harpoon" but seems to have ignored the purpose of Interdictors and Heavy Interdictors. This module is redundant and gives no purpose to supers at all but to pin other supers, but there are significantly cheaper options than using that and those are far cheaper too.

He wants to reduce the cost of Titans to 20b, but gave no reason, wants to bring back AOE DD but didn't give a reason but this "push or pull" thing which is largely useless. For the same reason for supers, why even reduce the cost of Hulls? we already have loads of supers flying around now, PL has SO MANY supers that they don't have enough pilots to fly them.

I don't even care about the rorqual.

So When you said "read the whole thread" why even bother? because all of these suggestions are either useless, redundant or completely pointless to the capitals, it doesn't fix anything with the capitals. Why ask me to elaborate why these ideas are bad when there isn't even a reason to post these ideas that themselves have no explanation to them anyway?

So dreads become useless marauders with a bit more ehp.
Supers become cheaper than dreads.
Titans become jedis with force.

So 'logistic carreirs' (lets call them archons for logi and clearing dictors/hics, and many 'jedi titans' (lets call them buses and tars) to use aoe dd for clearing rest of the support.
So we combine archons and spam of super cheap titans with aoe dd's, what do we get? (lets say 300 archons and 100-150 bus/tar's)

Nice to see that your ideas aren't completely biased mr rekking ball creator guy.

Oh and lets not forget about wh space.
Sleepers are battleships.
One can have fun dealing 2k dps per dread to kill them.

Lets not forget the importance of dreads in pvp in wh space.
How they are used as force multipliers for small/medium/big groups alike.
The amount of fights won/lost due to dreads being able to shoot subcaps and caps alike.
And more importantly, how dreads can only do massive amounts of dps while in siege, when they are the most vulnerable in their 5min cycles, allowing lower dps gangs to effectively kill them before they come out of siege and get reps and cap from his triage/pantheon friend/s.

One can only hope that CCP will not seriously consider these dumb biased ideas.

The supers already come with a huge monthly price, the POS they live in costs every single month to fuel. Where do you think they store these things?

Titans already do reduced DPS against Dreadnoughts, its in the description of the titans themselves, this was changed back in Inferno patch.

Your suggestion doesn't fix or change anything but makes titans track worse, and every titan gets a different bonus at that. Dreads already had their Siege penalty removed, theres no reason to put it back on.
