Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hey, as a relatively new player somehow got himself at the bridge of a t3c, I've been wondering if ther could be a way to increase the usefulness/ability of strategic cruisers, however maintaining a balanced ship. I thought a module not unlike a bastion/siege module could be useful. It should be linked faction wise, with same training requirements as racial strategic cruiser:

Gallente Active Augmentation Module II

As a result of further extensive research into Sleeper vessel wrecks and their augmentations, a new experimental module with special properties has been developed. Comprising of a number of components retrieved from wreckage of Sleeper vessels, the module has been shown to use a variety of electronical augmentations to increase effectiveness of various systems on the ship. However, the side effects include warping the fabric of space around the ship, giving it a largely increased signature radius, along with rendering unable to warp, dock, jump or receive remote assistance. Testing has also shown some of the effects still apply even after module deactivation for a short period of time.


Requires skill 'Gallente Augmentation Modules' (x4 multiplier, possible skill loss on destruction)

5% decrease in module cycle time and capacitor use per skill level

35% bonus to modules requiring the skill Gallente Offensive Systems
35% bonus to modules requiring the skill Gallente Defensive Systems
27.5% bonus to modules requiring the skill Gallente Electronic Systems
27.5% bonus to modules requiring the skill Gallente Engineering Systems
27.5% increase in heat damage
25% bonus to turret tracking
25% bonus to stasis webifier range and effectiveness
250% bonus to magnometric sensor strength
1000% increase in ship inertia modifier
50% increase in ship signature radius
75% reduction to maximum speed
30% increase in module capacitor use
Ship cannot cloak, warp, jump, dock or receive remote assistance while module is active
90 second duration
Negative effects last for 15 seconds after deactivation





As you can see, it is similar to a Basrion/Seige modules, but with slightly watered down effects. The bonus to subsystems allows better balancing and the player to choose how the module affects the ship, along with somewhat reducing the appeal of Covops cloaks. The bonus to web and tracking is to allow the ship to better shoot frigates and dessies, while a larger sig radius and smaller speed punishes the ship when against bigger targets.


What are your guys' opinions on this? Too OP? Totally bad idea?


Constructive criticism. Please.

Hmm,
Maybe remove bonuses to electronics and engineering, and water down the other bonuses to 25%?
Also increase cycle time to 120 seconds and increase sig radius by 100%

The point of T3C's is that is EXTREMELY useful already.
It's the most versatile class there is without taking over every role.

I think they're in a good place right now.

Surely you jest.

"Increase the usefulness/ability of Strategic cruisers," is possibly the most insane thing any of us are going to read today outside of Donald Trump's twitter feed.

i know he is new.... but even then this has to be a troll right? right?

OP...there is already a t3 that does boosted webs. Google Loki......Want the webs train that.

Rest...yeah....since new you amy have missed the mobs running with torches and pitchforks who want t3's head on a platter. You picked the one ship class that needs no help in the performance department really. Can be quite the opposite actually, some nerf the t3 stuff is legit.
