Questions & Answers


***** EWAR Immunity *****
Q) What exactly does the EWAR debuff mean? #1 #2 #3
A) We are removing the binary nature of EWar Immunity. Instead, we're replacing it with EWar Resistance.
For Example, Your Super-Carrier has 50% EWar Resistance.
Your base lock range is 100km. A 50% sensor dampner would normaly take that down to 50km. However, with 50% EWar immunity, it will only take it down to 75km.

Q) WIll a large subcap EWAR fleet be able to reduce the effectiveness of a group of capitals to zero? #1
A) To the same degree that its possible to reduce the effectiveness of a group of sub-capitals to zero, yes. Although it will be harder.

Q) Will immunity be one statline or vary according to the ewar being used? #1
A) Current plans are -

• Stasis Web Resistance
• Energy Warfare Resistance
• EWar Resistance (ECM/Damp/Tracking Disrupting).

Q) Will the EWAR resistance include Energy Warfare resistance? #1
A) There will be a separate value for Energy Warfare Resistance.

Q) With the removal of ewar immunity, will remote assistance be possible? #1
A) I assume you mean for Triage and Siege? No.


***** New Capital Modules *****
Q) When you introduce capital sized modules, what happens to the modules we have fitted to our capitals that will no longer be allowed? #1 #2 #3
A) There is no plan to disallow existing modules from Capitals.
For example, if you are running a 'Large Capacitor Booster II' on your Dread, and we introduce a 'Capital Capacitor Booster I', you can still continue to run your large if you chose too.
In regards to Capital Neutralizers, these will have different functionality to existing Neutralizers. There will be gameplay for both, and you may want to fit Heavy Neuts instead of Capital Neuts dependent on the situation.

Q) What will be the volume of these modules? Will this mean that you can only carry a small amount in your Capital? #1
A) We havn't decided. We are aware of issues regarding moving Long Range and Short Range guns when moving a Dreadnought, + all the capital modules we're adding.

Q) What kinds of speeds are to be expected from the capital prop mods? #1
A) Somewhere around 500m/s.

Q) If we are putting plates on these already slow ships, should we expect align times of 1 minute or will base agility be looked at? #1
A) We will look at base agility. However, a Plate fit Carrier or Titan will have a slower align time.

Q) Can we expect changes to be made to the fitting and effects of Officer points and scrams due to them becoming capital focused modules? #1
A) We will be looking at their fitting. The effects are unlikely to change.

Q) Are we releasing Capital Target Spectrum Breakers? #1 #2
A) Not at this stage.


***** Siege/Dreadnoughts *****
Q) 1-2k dps from a seiged dread dps is too low/Why would you use subcap siege dread over battleships? #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11
A) Sieged dreads have several advantages.

• Superior range (50km from High Angle guns)
• Resistance to EWar
• Higher base HP
• Provides refitting services to fleet
• Dependant on your battleship fit, potentially cheaper to replace after loss when including insurance.
• A jumpdrive

We want players to have interesting choices....

I specifically asked this at Vegas because the CFC leadership was spreading this rumor on Slack prior to vegas

FAX machine are Capitals and can be built anywhere

When asking about the glaring hole in the slide where a SC FAX machine would go, I got a snicker and a no comment

I miss target painter resistance on Supers. Would be very crucial for Avatar...

Now seriosly. Do we really need to make things that complicated? I mean - you do not want supers to be 100 % immune to ewar. Pefect. Do we really need complicated approach with all resistances? Thats the question. 20 Kereses o one titan still can limit its targeting range so, that its doom day device will be unusable. Resistance thing will just change number of kereses involved, IMHO. But I can be totaly wrong here...

Sensor dampening effects are stacking penalized.

Well damps have a stacking penalty combined with resistance and maybe one or two sebos should be enough to counter that

New doomsdays dont target, use those instead.

Also 20 keres is overkills, I assume 4-5 will get you 99% of effect. Stacking penalty.

Currently, using a capital requires to have access to multiple cyno alts, or heavy infrastructures like cyno beacons, both inaccessible to regular solo players without adding a bunch of accounts and specialized cyno toons.

Are there any thoughts to allow capitals to use suns as cyno beacons for systems in range and not under cyno-jamming? If not, what are the reasons to remove one of the main advantage of using Capitals for players that are playing solo?

Large groups with multiple cyno alts would still get a large benefit from their infrastructures allowing to pinpoint their jump to a "safe" location, while jumping to a sun would require at most a cloaky explorer (i.e more useful than a cyno alt, without needing to fly rookie ships cynos and be sitting ducks for one hour) and allow solo players to use capitals in null sec, at greater risks than when in a bigger group.

Crtl + F: "Rorqual": 0 results found. RIP Rorqual

why not give the supercarriers/titans warp core strenght of something like 20 - 30.
