The heavy cap booster was nerfed and it slipped my attention but fear not e2 comes to save the day - for battleship pilots.

Since we still haven't gotten a refreshed heavy cap booster the meta 4 and the t2 ones are heavy favored in battleship fittings but they used to hold 5 and 6 cap booster 800 charges and they are down to 4 and 5 charges.

This is bad, very bad.

Either we get back the charge capacity or the module cycle time gets reduced to 10 seconds and the reload time on the cap booster get reduced to 5 seconds.

I for one would like the reload time reduced to 5 seconds.

Really? I hadn't noticed because I don't fly Battleships very often. For me, it's HIC's and Dreads online.

Still, it would not hurt to either increase the capacity or lower the reload time. Lowering the reload time for the Heavy Capacitor Booster seems like an interesting idea.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

Yeah, I noticed that a few days back when I was sitting in an Armageddon, which is a loan, anyhow I could not load 5 charges into the booster and was baffled.

I strongly believe that it won't break EVE since a short reload time would balance itself by eating the charges quicker and the shorter cycle time as well.

So thank you for your input.

Nothing has changed. You probably used non faction charges like you always do.

Mike, you could load 5 regular and 5 navy charges in the meta 4 booster and 5 t1 charges in the t2 booster and 6 navy charges, hence everything I said, which you should read again, will make sense.

I suggested the shorter cycle time because 11.3 + 10 seconds is a very long time waiting for 4 charges.


Oh and, just log on SiSi and try it yourself.

It doesn't make sense, nothing has changed. Nothing has been nerfed.
You can still load 4x normal 800's or 5x navy 800's in a Heavy electromechanical capacitor booster I.
Same **** with the t2 capacitor booster, 5x normal charges and 6x navy charges.

This has been the case for years, nothing has changed. I'd suggest to go try it again.

Edit: Oh about the reload cycle, you are litteraly making FAX machines more cancerous with 5 sec reloads on navy 3200 heavy cap boosters.

That's a valid concern. Perhaps heavy cap boosters should not be able to hold 3200's. Thoughts on that?

Holy **** now you have to stop being stupid. Fax machines are considered to be too strong because they USE HEAVY CAPACITOR BOOSTER modules, loaded with navy 3200 charges. That reload buff you are speaking about will make them even more oppressive.

Now look at that video.

Now look at that video again. Where the **** did they get nerfed? You are saying they got nerfed and they are down to 4 and 5 charges.

For the love of god, NOTHING has been changed / nerfed or whatever.
