Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Faction modules already have better stats. So I say no to your detailed proposal.

The only way something like this could be implemented is if it only affected fitting costs. I could see Fed Navy Blasters w/ a Fed Navy web, Fed Navy AB or MWD and some Fed navy Mag. Stabs on a Fed Navy Mega have less PWG/CPU requirements.

I don't think a "set bonus" should do anything w/ ship resistance, ship potential DPS, capacitor or speed other than the effects the modules fitted would have anyway.

I actually wouldn't mind seeing sort of a set-ish bonus for faction items, but more in the line of the faction items working ever-so-slightly better if installed into the correct faction frame. For example, a Sister's probe launcher might have some sort of tiny bonus when installed in an Astero rather than in a Magnate.

The idea here is that faction items are built differently than regular items, hence their different stats. I could easily see that the items in question were designed to be used on platforms designed by the same team.

To clarify, I think that this should be a fitting bonus rather than a performance bonus. I don't want to create the next MUST-HAVE thing, but I think that a small fitting bonus would allow for some interesting fits and still not turn the game on its ear. Also, to clarify, I think that this should work with only "faction" ships. That means getting a bonus from fitting the Caldari Navy Launchers on a Navy Issue ship, not any random caldari ship.

The thematic bonus of part-to-ship would push the feel of EvE's lore a bit, and I think it's a bit more logical than just similar items working together when placed on any platform.

When I want to install a device or part into a machine, whether vehicle, computer, or vacuum cleaner, if I use a part or device made from the same manufacturer, then I can generally be assured that the part will fit and work as if it were tailor made to be there (which of course... it was). If I use any other brand, then I may have to jury rig it to make it work or at least make allowances to move the machine's innards about in order to make the proper room.

Anyway, tl;dr version, Thematic fitting bonus for faction items installed into faction issued ships of the same faction.


--Gadget (heard y'all like faction, dawg)

1) I currently have 3 and a half billion in my head alone, I'm far from poor but I would rather paint my board with your isk than mine.
This is why I don't dress entirely in faction stuff, t2 guns are almost always better than faction(which are ganker katnip)

2) 50 bill does get you op stats, that's why it eats 50 bill. Thankfully player skill and experience will break a wallet tank every day of the week.

3) player run economy ,

4) im not a ganker and you were already on my shitlist before you said that.
