Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

Supercarriers in Test server roles bonuses and other bonuses this is true?
And why all supers earned DPS bonuses for free?
Share to all resistances bonuses or warp core than.
I really cant understand why all get DPS for free!

Just a little pointer for CCP Larrikin - As anemic as it is, the DPS offered to Titans with HAW's, [Feedback Wanted] Titan Bonuses, is no indicator as to whether that DPS is just one big "lets make titans more shite" or could be something that can be lived with.

Tracking, optimal and falloff (what you have in the redit post just does not add up), reload time etc are all far more important than raw DPS. How it is applied is what counts, 1,000 dps with decent application will outperform 5,120 dps with shite application at every turn..

6x Quad 800mm Repeating Cannon II (HAWs) w' Barrage XL: 5120dps - 25% tracking @ 27+40km, is going to be very underwhelming against anything other than an immobile object with the sig radius of a small pos.

You have to go to Reddit to see this. There is a sub-Reddit just for the Eve capital changes.

Ahh ok. So because one thing is working (until it gets nerfed to death) all the other changes don't matter. Right, got it thanks.


Interesting that now it requires Capital Blaster specialization 5 to online the new Haw Blasters. With less than a month till release and no skill books available for the minimum 40 day train.


Devs really haven't thought this whole thing through very well.

1.) Will the currently existing Fighters and Fighter Bombers just be converted 1 to 1 to the new Light and Heavy Fighters with the same name?
This would mean a huge loss for every existing cap pilot as the current build cost are much higher and in future more fighters of the same type are required for comparable performance. Looking on SiSi build cost, I would expect 4-6 new fighters for one old fighter.

2.) Will BPOs for the new fighter models get seeded earlier as the release itself?

Will there be Capital Smartbombs available? Given the inclusion of so many new modules for Capital class ships, I would imagine that new modules would include Smartbomb armaments.

Or would those be considered too overpowered i.e. too effective against smaller ships that even the High-angle guns would be ill-suited for?

Having now spent a bit more time looking at the caps they all seem to have some major issues the main one being CCP forgot to try fitting the ships!

Dreads

DPS - on all the dreads with original guns seems to have dropped slightly with the pheonix being the worst by far but will provide the most consistent damage and have a chance of hitting a moving target with the old citadel torps especially when combined with target painters and webs. I will admit I haven't tested the high angle guns as yet.

Tank - It seems clear from attempting to fit all the dreads that CCP was thinking of HP Buffer tanks as this seems like it will be the most effective especially when you add the new FACS (Force Auxiliary Capital Ships) into there thinking which will be a good idea in large capital fights, however not everyone in eve can field large fleets so being able to fit an active tank is required for many players, especially as the FACS may not be available to there small gangs but with around half of the original hp this makes them more vulnerable than ever before to smaller ships.

New modules - trying to fit the new modules like neuts plates extenders mwd's etc is tougher than it should be as mentioned above it is a little easier with a buffer fit but all the capitals seem to have far to little power grid and cpu especially minmatar and gallente due to them having inherently lower amount of both to start with.

Summary - If your looking for :-
Dps with good hp then its the Revelation.
Massive tank and ability to hit moving targets its the Pheonix.
High DPS and ok active tank Moros or Naglfar

Oh look Amarr comes out top again what a suprise.

As for the carriers and supers I am converting my carrier into a facs and cancelling my order for a hel as the new user interface is horrible and fighters are horrendously weak in terms of hp, although the dps from heavy bombers is immense. why not just let us continue with the old drone system its way better!

Btw I'm not saying the FACS are good there not really as these also have huge powergrid and cpu issues for example in order to fit a Lif (Minmatar FACS) to be a descent logi boat it required me fitting 2x reactor control units and 2 cpu's just to fit the ship which will tank 1 dread with ease but 2 would be too much in-spite of getting highest resists I could with capital shield booster and cap injector while having max skills. It can also be 1 shot off the field by any titan even though the conventional DD has had its damage reduced to a maximum of 1.5mil hp. NOT GOOD.

Thanks for making my point, I got that impression about carriers hence my comment about getting rid of mine I'm also especially glad to see it wasn't just me having fitting issues.

Oh and I especially agree with your sig lol :)

Although we are a small corp of around 50 members about 95% of our members fly combat capitals hence me taking a particular interest in these changes and doing a review of them.

I am looking right now on the market in TQ and I have noticed that there are new skill books seeded named [racial name] Force Auxiliary.

I would appreciate an official answer from a dev about this.
We the players that own carriers and are going to be transformed to force auxiliaries, have to buy and train this skill now before it hits TQ?

Or are we going to be compensated somehow that out of the blue our carriers got transformed to an entirely differently ship?

Thanks for the info.
Let's hope that me and some others won't find ourselves in front of a nasty surprise, when Citadel hits TQ.
