So i will start off by saying i'm not against command destroyers as a gameplay mechanic, i've really enjoyed flying them and think they have a great place in the current meta.

However where it becomes a problem is that 5 command destroyers are a huge threat to a large group of armor battleships / tech 3's etc.

The ability for nano shield fleets to run away and kite is a much larger advantage than having to sit pretty still. This has lead to armor battleship fleets having to fit dual scram in order to prevent command destroyers from splitting there fleet, this coupled with the extra falloff range from shield reps and reduced overall rep range of armor reps means that a single jumped armor ship is almost guaranteed to die.

What i propose is what i mentioned during the discussion thread before the release found here

TL:DR

A hic bubble / AOE module to prevent ALL MJD effects within a given radius (approx 10km) there could be some drawbacks to the Hic as well but ill leave that open for discussion.

Confirming I'm a Jackaryas Alt.





Not really, but I do agree, RMJD(etc) fields need to have an upper limit imposed, or HIC's need to be adjusted to account for them.

I agree that something needs to be done to counter mjfd especially in heavy tidi. Whether a hic bubble is a good idea or not, im not sure.. but if thats the case itd have to work in lowsec too.

What hope for your idea if you can't even post in the correct sub-forum?

This should've been posted in the Features and Idea's forums,


However I would agree. However a HIC is already pretty powerful as is with it's new buff to the scripted WDFG. Added yet another bonus to it's modules might be a little much.

Perhaps make it another script for the WDFG?

Of course the problem then is that every fleet flies with one (or more) and Command Destroyers become useless (other than their small weapon damage, low sig & resists).

I'd like to see a scram bubble added.

There is already a counter - you have guns on your ships, right? Kill the command destroyers suiciding into your blob.
If you have a big sized fleet, fragging all of them within seconds shouldnt be a big deal (assumed your gang isnt full of monkeys).
