FREE YOURSELF FROM THE SHACKLES OF SUPERS AND....


Actually use them in a fight.

No? Yeah, didn't think so.

Spoken like a naive child drinking from a sippy cup.

Going to cut me with a spoon while reading this.

I think this underlines the reason not to put this in the game. A bottleneck has been created and supers are dying trying to get through it. This is good for the game. It creates jobs, lots of jobs. It's good for the economy. Miners feel needed and useful. Indy guys get to build more so they feel pretty good about themselves. Then there is the whole espionage thing where you have to keep the super oven alive while the new one hatches. Let me run the math for you in simple terms:

1 erebus dying in aridia does the following:

The negatives:

1 - super pilot becomes a sad panda, grows a little bitter vet attitude and rails about losing the feeling of being special.
4 - back room stogie smokine mega alliance leaders are moved to sigh, rage or cry on the news. (this stat is actually a wash because for every 4 unhappy stogie smokers on one side, there are 4 happy stogie smokers on some other side)

The positives:

50+ miners swell with pride and mine mine mine to create the minerals for a new super.
5 (or so) Indy guys find purpose and begin building another super.
2 (or so) fuel bunnies are elated they can maintain the factory line.
100+ guys grind up and maintain the system/region stats to keep the super baby factory on the up and up.
30 (or so) guys have that satisfied full feeling as they successfully complete another hunt and post their trophy for all to see.
Countless pve jocks grind npcs to get those sweet sweet elite bling mods to sell to the new super pilot.
The market in Jita thrives as all the bits required in the production process get bought and sold, hedged and scammed.

There are more minor positives that are less tangible, but for brevity I'll stop the list here.


Conclusion: blowing up 1 super makes 1 guys crazy mad and at lease 200 guys happy. Blowing up supers is good for the game. If the loss isn't on 'good terms'.... well (shrugs) that really doesn't matter to me or most of the player base.

Unless all K>K wh dump out in iridia, then I'll vote no.

So now I'm confused. You bring up the bottleneck and that supers through wh would ease the bottleneck. Now you say supers are useless and no one is building them. At this point if I agreed with you and declared supers useless and on the way to extinction, then I would have to question why it's even a thing to discuss?

If supers are indeed useless and on the way out then why waste dev time (any time for that matter) on changing the game to allow an additional mode of travel for useless ships that are soon to be extinct?

I'm getting confused!

I heard the change is they will be directly converted to candy. If you own an erebus at the time of the patch it will be deleted from the game and you will be mailed 3 grape blow pops and a 5 pound bag of M&Ms. I think you get mike and ikes for the leviathon, which I don't really care for. I would deffo trade a leviathon for an erebus before patch time. I'm not sure why they even make Mike and Ikes anymore. No one likes them.

This whole thread just feels like an "it's to hard/dangerous to move my super" thread. Let supers fly properly and prepared or let them burn.

This is a great idea, and certainly would address the very common issue of super pilots quitting the game because they can't fly with their friends due to the fact that they had to work / do something else / whatever during their alliances super move op.

join a better alliance that has more move ops

Increasing the max jumpable mass doesn't quite affecting anything but... the size of the biggest ship able to travel through.

Allowing Supers to slip through Kspace exits without the inbound slay fleet able to follow is just another meta for keeping supers safe or making them easier to move.
