Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I find it highly irritating that their are no module options for anything stronger than +1 warp core stabilization.

Attackers on the other hand get a whole slew of warp scram and disruption options: +1 disrupt, +2 scram (and MWD burn away disabled), +3 Faction Scram, +5 Scram (MNI + faction scram), etc.

This is an obvious isk burning mechanic for CCP... but it is completely unbalanced and unfair to those activities outside of active pvp.

!! PLEASE BALANCE OUT THIS MECHANIC CCP !!

OPTIONS:
- Add +2 warp core stab modules.
- Add +3 Faction warp core stab modules.
- Add module that nullifies web modules.
- Enhanced +1 warp core stabs that nullify a scrams effect on MWD speed. This also nullifies web module effects. But not if double webbed. Webbing really need a +1 / +2 / +3 mechanic if it can be nullified.
- Put a +2 warp disruption max rating limit on ships smaller than cruisers. If a frigate equips +3 faction scram, it gets +2 but still benefits from the extra range and other benefits. This is mainly because ships smaller than cruisers dont have the low slots to equip 3 stabs to combat one module and still be effective at whatever they want to do.

Overall, a balanced warp disruption / stabilization mechanic will encourage more highsec travelers to venture into low/null sec systems for non-pvp activities.
- It will even encourage more players to learn low / null sec pvp. Newer players will have more confidence to learn pvp because they know they can be equipped to get out of a 1v1 fight. Small gangs / fleets though will still have no problems tackling & wrecking. This encourages more group / fleet gameplay being that solo tackle can be nullified by someone who is equipped to resist it.
- It will also generate more interaction between players and balance out server loads by spreading everyone out homogeneously. Imagine faction warfare in all plexing lowsec systems instead of just Tama to Akidagi.

Please, Please, Please fix this asap!! I am so tired of being double stabbed in a frigate and getting faction scrammed by one module. I cant warp, I cant burn away, and I cant fight back because I have salvagers and a cloak equipped. I have no choice but to sit there for 2 minutes and fall asleep as some other frigate slowly destroys my ship with their weak guns. Its nothing but cheater mode for sucky pvp wannabes.

My issue is not with a particular gameplay activity, its that one frigate can equip a single +3 faction scram and overpower my frigate which is double stabbed. 90% of frigates only have 3 lows so if I ran three stabs, my ship is now completely useless because I have no lows for damage control / nanofibers / damage enhancers or anything else that would have made my ship useful.

Bottom line, its a 1 to 3 module fit requirement, not even counting the situations where you run into a maulus. A frigate does not even have enough lows to nullify a maulus. If its a transport or salvager, its pretty much automatic death.

LOL!! You make it sound so hard for tacklers. You are obviously a tackler. Most frigates to frigate lock times are much faster than align + warp, especially if you are in a tech II, tech III tackle frigate.

It doesn't really matter though. The balance needs to be in the modules and most of what you say is mute to the issue.

By the way, Low / Null Sec salvagers dont usually form fleets.

WCS are meant for you to run away. If you could run away and tank, or have dps while being able to avoid any and all fights would be broken.



No.


EDIT: I am upset that my shield tank Moa can't have a full tank plus tackle and web. And my Maller can't really have any DPS since all his armor mods go into the lows.


Obviously I shield have low slot shield mods and mid slot armor mods.

For it be balanced.

i wish there was counter to mwd+cloak trick....

Not all ships are meant to have everything. There are different roles that certain ships play and there is nothing wrong with that. That really has nothing to do with this issue.

There is... Its called uncloking by getting within 2000m... :) Please stop wandering off into the abyss with side topics that are not meaningful to this specific topic.

Unclocking overclocking declocking.... why suddenly talking about that OP? ... Fly a venture. Gets 2 wcs by default or supercap i heard they get some wcs too.

Should we tell him about hic's now or wait for the explosive whine thread when he encounters one for himself?

scrams effect on MWD has a counter OP....its called AB. Very general rule of thumb, sometimes valid but not always. AB low sec, MWD 0.0. 0.0 need MWD for when (not if) you hit bubbles. Maybe you make it out, maybe you don't. At least you can try.

Low sec AB can be a good thing since often times scram fit to tackle and slow you down if MWD fit. Call it a half assed hybrid of tackle and web if you will...and frees up a mid slot that would be web otherwise.

You are slower with AB, yes. But you are faster than if scrammed with a MWD.

Dual prop if truly paranoid. Or oversized prop a thing possible with some creative fitting on some ships.


Also imo WCS is for travel fits. Your ass is going gate to gate to gate to station. It is not a sit in the middle of space fit. Unless farming FW plexes, they like this I hear. This should have been obvious since your targeting range goes to crap. Its about useless imo for anything besides gtfo moves all night long.
